The Gianna of the past always prioritized Caesar in whatever situation.
She naively thought that this was how a husband and wife would communicate with each other.
She thought that by respecting him, he would reciprocate too.
Only in this life that she knew that it wouldn’t happen.
Some people would only want a mile if an inch was given.
Caesar still remained silent with a cold, hard face.
Based on how Gianna was behaving all the while, as long as he was throwing some tantrum, she
would suck up to him and shower him with consoles. Now, he was waiting for Gianna to soften her
stance too.
However, Gianna suddenly said, “If that’s the case, then I think we should call off our wedding.”
Caesar stared at Gianna starkly.
He never thought that Gianna would bring up the idea of not marrying again.
Gianna seemed oblivious to Caesar’s emotion as she continued, “A marriage is a tie between two
families. I don’t want my addition to your family to cause much misery to all of you. I have accidentally
stepped on Bernice’s dress today and caused her to lose face in such an important event, so she must
hate me very much.”
“Gina, you were never like this in the past. You won’t keep bringing up the idea of calling off our
marriage.” Caesar’s tone indicated that his mood was turning sour.
However, Gianna was threatening him with the “marriage” matter again, so he had no choice but to
swallow his frustrations.
“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that your family don’t like me a lot.” Gianna muttered.
“Why do you think that? My parents like you very much. Can’t you feel that?” Caesar was very agitated.
Gianna didn’t answer him.
Caesar tried to be patient, “Be a good girl and don’t think too much, will you? My parents really fancy
you. My sister might be a little childish but she really sees you as one of her own.”
“Is that so?” Gianna asked incredulously.
“Stupid. Even if you don’t trust my parents, you should at least trust me. We have been together for so
many years, and when have I ever lied to you?” Caesar pretended to be angry as he said that.
When had he ever lied to her?
However, the current Gianna was able to face Caesar with certain calmness.
She could face all of her fake pretences without flinching one bit.
“Don’t ever say that you don’t want to marry anymore. It hurt my heart.” Caesar reached out and pulled
Gianna into his embrace.
Gianna tried to hold off her sense of disgust as she laid into his arms.
At that moment, the two of them had different train of thoughts in their heads.
Caesar was thinking how Gianna had made him lose face recently. When Gianna was married into his
family, he would make sure to let her know how he was going to torture her!
On the other hand, Gianna was wondering how long she was going to continue this act with Caesar.
She couldn’t help but admit that being in Caesar’s arm like this right now made her want to puke.
And the two of them were hugging together for a long time.
Caesar seemed to have calm down a little as he slowly let go of Gianna.
When Gianna saw his face after he let go, all she could see was a very mellow and gentle face.
Truth to be told, she was actually impressed by Caesar.
After all, most of the time when she was putting on an act whenever she was with him, she would fail to
see through her acting to the end.
For Caesar though, everything came naturally to him.
“Let’s go back to the hall. As the host, you can’t dismiss yourself from entertaining the guests.” Caesar
said with concern.
When Gianna nodded, her eyes trembled for a moment.
She saw Helen glaring at her furiously as she emerged from the hall.
Gianna suddenly wrapped her arms around Caesar’s neck.
Caesar was caught off guard, as it was very rare for Gianna to do something like that out of her own
will.
Caesar himself didn’t so much as take the initiative to establish skin ship too.
In his opinion, Gianna who was a boring woman couldn’t exert any pull on him no matter how pretty
she looked. He always loved wild, sexy… and even violent girls.
Therefore, he was always polite and careful around Gianna, but in fact that was just him being himself
because he didn’t have interest in her.
And in his head, he thought that a woman like Gianna would think that him placing a certain distance
between themselves must be his way of loving her.
However, at this moment, Gianna’s sudden aggressive move somehow touched his heart.
Gianna pecked at his check, and she was doing this with the utmost sensuality.
Caesar couldn’t help lifting the corner of his lips, “Gina, I can’t believe that you are kissing me now.”
It’s not like they never kissed, but he was the one who made the move every time.
And every time, he would just peck at her. Nothing more.
“I am apologizing for what happened today. I have caused your sister to be embarrassed in public.”
Gianna looked a little shy, “Don’t you love me doing this?”
“How can that be? Even if you just touch my chest, my heart would be racing too.” Caesar took her
hand and placed it on his chest.
His heart was really pounding.
This was the first time Caesar felt any attraction towards Gianna.
He always viewed her as a tool for him to achieve something in life.
She used to be just a tool, a means for him to discard later on.
Therefore, the next second, he naturally approached her face and pressed his lips against hers.
Gianna tried to hold off her real feelings.
From the corners of her eyes, she could see that Helen was going to explode in a fit of rage. She
turned around and headed back to the hall grumpily.
Of course, Gianna was doing this just to enrage Helen.
So, since her goal was achieved, there was no need for her to continue this kiss with Caesar.
Just as when she was about to push him away, her pupils suddenly contracted.
A pair of sharp, menacing eyes was locked onto her.
She felt someone boring a hole into her with their eyes.
It made her feel… a little guilty.
She snapped back to reality and pushed Caesar away just as he was about to go deep with his kiss.
Caesar looked like he didn’t want this kiss to end just yet.
It was not the first time he had kissed Gianna, but for some reason, he felt like he couldn’t control his
impulses anymore.
Was it because in order to avoid any troubles in the face of an impending marriage, he had limited
himself from getting in touch with any woman, and that had made him feel an intense hunger for lust?
He wasn’t sure himself either, whether he just wanted a woman or was he really having a crush for
Gianna.
Immediately, he wanted to swoop in and kiss Gianna again.
Gianna stopped him from doing that and said, “Stop this. There are people coming and going all
around us.”
“We are together for so many years. It’s the first time you are acting so shy.” Caesar didn’t really force
Gianna with his impulses. He could only hold in his cravings, “Anyway, we will be married in a month.
On the night of the marriage, I must…”
Gianna didn’t want to find out what he wanted at all.
She again pretended to be shy, “Let’s just get back to the hall.”
“Alright.”
Caesar and Gianna returned to the hall together.
There were still many guests in the hall, and the hall was bustling with activity.
This was probably the first time in the history of Kouby City that a birthday bash for a rich lady would be
so magnificent and heavy!
Gianna continued to help her parents in entertaining the guests.
Naturally, Caesar was practically part of the host family too due to her relationship with Gianna.
At ten, Maureen was really punctual.
She swerved and veered in the crowd and gathered all the personnel Gianna had wanted.
“The reason I am calling you all here is because I want to invite you guy to the night club to have fun.
Although we are not all childhood friends, we still grew up side by side in the years before. It’s rare for
us to be in one spot at the same time, so let’s cherish the time.” Maureen was very enthusiastic.
“That’s awesome.” Gianna was the first to give her stamp of approval.
Caesar looked a little startled.
Gianna was never interested in noisy places, and she had never ventured into the world of alcohol
before, not to mention a night club.
But now, she had agreed to go without a single moment of hesitation!
