A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 51: A Slap

Returning to the Thompson family villa and entering their suite, Sophia closed the door behind her and looked at Ethan softly, "Thank you."

Ethan smiled, "What for?"

"For rescuing me?"

He waved his hand, "There's no need for that. We're not divorced yet, I can't let Vincent Bright bully you like that."

"No, I'm thanking you for letting me have this dream."

Sophia's breath was like orchids, her eyes twinkling. She wasn't a materialistic woman, but that didn't mean she didn't like diamonds and luxury cars.

She had always thought that her life would be like a hardworking ox, working for the Thompson family year after year, earning a few million a year and spending her best years in mediocrity.

But unexpectedly, Ethan had given her a brilliant moment, though brief, it was something she had experienced.

Hearing this, Ethan's voice softened, "Maybe I've really fallen in love with you."

"Fallen in love with me?"

Sophia burst out laughing, "I think you want to strangle me more than love me."

They were just a deal, where was there any love to speak of?

She didn't believe that Ethan, who had been bullied by the Thompson family for a year, would develop feelings for her.

Ethan's eyes were hazy, "You don't know, eighteen years ago, I fell in love with you..."

"Alright, enough with the romance novel lines! Let's be realistic."

Sophia rolled her eyes at Ethan, then took off the "Love of a Thousand Cities" necklace around her neck and reluctantly handed it back to Ethan.

Ethan was stunned, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing?"

Sophia snorted: "I'm returning the necklace to you. Do you think I'll believe that you have a hundred million and can buy the 'Love of a Thousand Cities' for me?"

"I checked the Lamborghini last night, and the registration certificate says the Lamborghini belongs to Aurora Group."

"If I'm not mistaken, both this necklace and the Lamborghini were borrowed from Aurora Group through Ms. Scarlet."

"Your purpose was just to give me some face."

"Now that I've had enough face, I'm very satisfied, and they should be returned. Otherwise, if something happens, even if you sell yourself, you won't be able to compensate."

She was very reluctant to part with the "Love of a Thousand Cities". This was probably the most expensive necklace she would ever wear in her life, but she also knew that Cinderella's crystal shoes had to be returned eventually.

Ethan laughed bitterly, "The car was indeed borrowed, but the necklace..."

"Admitting that the car was borrowed is good enough. Keep it well and return it tomorrow."

Sophia bit her lip and put away her reluctance, stuffing the necklace into the box and stuffing it into Ethan's arms:

"For the sake of saving face tonight and defeating Vincent Bright, I won't pursue your flirting with Ms. Scarlet."

"Although we don't have any feelings for each other, you must be faithful to your marriage before we divorce."

"Otherwise, I'll make you look good."
