Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 45

Julian just stared at her, his expression unreadable. He slapped Madeline’s hand away. “I just want to say something. Can you please just listen to me for once?”

“Oh, so because you want to talk, I’m supposed to stand here quietly and obey? What am I, your pet or something?”

Julian’s face turned stormy. He honestly looked like he wanted to throttle her. Nearby, Miles silently begged the universe not to let his boss faint from sheer frustration.

Julian shut his eyes for a second, fighting to keep his temper in check. “Madeline, that mouth of yours is something else.”

“I know. You don’t have to remind me.”

She looked at him, her face all ice and distance, and suddenly all the words Julian wanted to say just stuck in his throat.

“Can I go now?” she asked.

Julian didn’t answer. Madeline turned to walk away, but before she could take more than a step, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her up against the car.

Her breath caught. Her eyes turned cold, sharp enough to cut. “What? You really think you can just throw your weight around, harassing women in the middle of the street?”

Julian let out a hard laugh. “Trust me, I’m not even remotely interested in your body.”

“Then what is this supposed to be?”

“You clearly don’t know how to listen, so I had to do something a little more direct.”

Madeline gave a wry little smile. “Alright. Go ahead. I’m listening now.” She thought, Let’s see what nonsense you’re about to come up with.

“You promised before that you’d help me with my condition. Does that still count?”
