Chapter 22 Quarrel
Chapter 22 Quarrel
"Where did you see them?" She asked curiously.
"In the bathroom at home."
Ann's heart sank. It was likely that Phillip left them here last time.
The cufflinks were too small for her to notice.
"The cufflinks were probably left by Mr. Phillip last time when he brought me and Nikki back. The rain
was heavy that day, and he got wet. Perhaps they were left here when he went to dry his clothes. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As she said this, Ann looked into Karl's eyes. She didn't look guilty at all.
"Are you saying that it was an accident?"
Ann nodded seriously. Suddenly, she was shocked by Karl's thoughts. "Do you think that I...."
Karl sneered, "Since it was just an accident, why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't think it's a big thing. I even couldn't remember." Ann shook her head and explained.
"Couldn't remember? It was enough for Mr. Phillip to help you find Nikki. Why did he take you home
and leave such personal things in our place? If I didn't find them, are you going to hide this thing from
me forever?"
Looking at Karl, who was filled with resentment, Ann trembled slightly, "Karl, what do you mean by
that?"
Karl was already filled with jealousy and anger.
"Phillip loves you, doesn't he? Or perhaps, you have known each other for a long time? How could he
fall in love with you so soon after we returned from abroad? By the way, was it also because of you that
he was hostile to me during the interview?"
When he saw the pair of cufflinks, he thought it was a gift for him and gladly put them on.
If it was really a gift, how could it be put in the bathroom so casually without a packing box?
He was truly stupid!
The more he said, the more ridiculous he became. Ann's gaze was filled with shock and disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I know Phillip before?"
Ann paused for a moment and showed a bitter smile. "If I had known someone him back then, how
could I be forced to do those things...?"
When Karl saw that Ann's eyes were moist, his anger and jealousy subsided slightly, and he became
panic.
"Ann...."
"Karl, Nikki calls you daddy. I'm serious about our relationship. There's nothing between Phillip and me.
I can resign tomorrow if you want me to."
Although she was sad because of Karl's distrust, she could understand his anger.
Perhaps when she found other women's stuff in the house, she would probably feel the same.
When Karl heard the word "resign", he felt apologetic. "Ann, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't trust you. I just
feel insecure."
She was indeed his girlfriend now, and her kids called him daddy.
However, he was still afraid that one day, she would leave.
It seemed that what his mother had said was right. He needed to marry Ann as soon as possible.
...
Ann forgot about the quarrel soon. As an employee of the Moore Group, she was very busy every day.
Because of the previous perfume exhibition, some seniors always wanted to squeeze her out, and her
workloads had increased a lot.
Looking at the time, Ann knew she needed to work overtime today.
She called Karl and wanted to tell him that he didn't have to wait for her to have dinner, but Karl didn't
answer the phone.
After a long time, the phone was answered. Karl explained that he was on a business call. He told Ann
to eat something.
Hanging up, Karl's phone rang again. The caller ID was 'Godden'.
Karl answered it. And a woman's sweet voice came out from the phone.
"Honey, why did you hang up just now?"
