Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 81

81 /630

Lambert spoke in a meaningful tone, "What do you think?"

Ariana was somewhat angry, "Why do you answer every question I ask with a counterquestion?"

"Because I didn't expect that I was such a person in your mind." He said it lightly, but it made her choke momentarily, speechless as she looked at him.

"I…"

With his words, Ariana also felt that she seemed to have already subjectively assumed the other party had done something bad without waiting for an explanation.

"I'm sorry."

She rubbed her forehead slightly, feeling that her nerves seemed to be a bit tight recently.

Lambert said, "Don't worry, I just told him about our relationship."

"What?"

Ariana's heart skipped a beat, she staggered as she looked at him, "You… you told others we are already married?"

When he heard her mention 'others', a deeper smile appeared on his face, "Not as straightforward as that."

She paused momentarily, recalling Xavier's message, saying that Lambert was her boyfriend.

She immediately looked at Lambert with a disgusted gaze, "Who is your girlfriend?"

Lambert went along with her words, "Not girlfriend, but wife."

She was left speechless...

She was deep in thought, deciding to find someone with better persuasion skills next time. It was long recognized that Xavier came in as an emergency substitute, possibly being forced by Allison.

Not only did she not make Lambert hate her, but she also gave him a chance to laugh at her.

Lambert saw through her thoughts, "Stop thinking about finding someone else next time. The rumors about our affair have spread throughout the city. No one would dare to associate with you."

Even less would they dare to pretend to be Ariana's boyfriend, not because Lambert would do anything to them, but because they had too much to consider, so they dared not.

As for why Xavier would help, he merely owed Allison a favor.

The more Ariana thought about it, the more displeased she was. "What was our original agreement? To pretend to be married and each gets what we need. What are you implying now?"

She felt like she was carrying a stone to protect herself but dropped it on her own foot.

Lambert said, "You have asked the same question so many times? Isn't my previous answer still valid?"

When Ariana wanted to say more, he glanced at his watch and said, "Let's go eat first."

While eating, Ariana couldn't help marveling at the elegant Lambert eating in front of her.

Indeed, every act and move of a good-looking person is captivating, only if it's not Lambert.

Ariana couldn't resist asking, "Hey, you didn't take me out just for the sake of eating, right? What is it?"

"There's no rush, we'll talk after we eat," Lambert calmly replied.

Seeing him acting mysterious, Ariana became exasperated.

However, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be precise, she was quite skeptical about the sincerity of Lambert's confession of liking her, because every time he looked for her, there would be something else.

Having thought it through, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Anyhow, it wouldn't hurt to talk after finishing the meal. She didn't want to punish her stomach unnecessarily.

Seeing her settle down, Lambert's expression softened slightly.
