Chapter 142: Chapter 142

It didn't take long before Dante return with the dishes he made, he was in a hurry thinking that Barbara must be starving, he is about entering the building, while Kathleen is going out.

Hey, you going home? Kathleen nodded to him, ready to passed him, he held her. Are you mad at me for getting married to your friend?

Uh! She was shock, his eyes didn't leave her, where did the man get the notion, he should know, she is his biggest fans, if there is anyone she had voted for when it's comes to Barbara's husband it's Dante. Come on, you should know I am your biggest fans, congrats! She added with a smiled.

Thanks, where is she?

She is at the cafe at the second floor.

Thanks! Dante pushed the side of his hair backward. Do I look more attractive than Jeffrey? She open her mouth to say something, Dante already turned to leave, then she realized that, Barbara is with Jeffrey, she grabbed her phone to call Barbara, she needs to warn her, Jeffrey could be so careless, when it comes to touching her seductively.

Pick your call. She said in frustration, Barbara didn't takes her call, she run towards the Dante, calling out to him, the man was too busy humming that he didn't notice that Kathleen is calling out to him. She try to used the elevator, none is available to go into. Fuck! The step will be perfect. She said the next thing she did, is to hurry into the stairway.

Why did you decide to take coffee, instead of something healthy? Jeffrey asked Barbara that is sitting in front of him.

Are you saying it's not healthy to take coffee? She pout at him.

I didn't say so, it's just that you've reduce big time. Look at this, excess of space. He dragged her top that had little space. Your hair is unkempt. He caress her hair, as if that is not a enough, his thumb is now on her lips, caressing it, saying it's too dry.

Barbara!

Dante called, he is frustrated already, his step weren't slow anymore, his hand were on her lips when he enter the cafe, for crying out loud, she is his wife, even if Jeffery was born in same hospital with her, grow up together, she should have boundaries, especially now that she has husband.

She could see the anger in Dante, the man is already at his limit, Barbara stand in fear, Jeffrey too stand up, he doesn't see reason, that should make Dante mad, he is nothing to her.

Are you back? Barbara compose herself, her heart is racing fast, she felt she is doing something bad, she wouldn't had let Jeffrey caress her lips, she is married, then she shakes the thought from her head, it's only on paper

Let's go.

Why? Can't you see she is with me? Give her space, this is not your office that you could bossy her.

Dante give Jeffrey some stern look, he move his gaze back to Barbara, that domineering aura that always surrounding him, gave her nothing but intensify fear for the man in front of her.

Why is she scared? Nothing is going on between them, this own marriage thing is more like only existed in paper.

His eyes is full of anger and jealous, that when he turned is like an alpha ready to devour the figure in front of him. Scram!

Li Jun!

Barbara called him, he is embarrassing Jeffrey, others in the cafe attention had been draw, including Kathleen that just join them, he turned and look at her pretty face.

Let's go or do you want me to drag you out?

Why will you drag me out? Just go, I will meet you up.

I should leave so you flirt with him, have you gone shameless, that you jump on every man inappropriate gesture towards you.

Dante words were piercing, right through her heart, just maybe she felt she is nothing because she keeps throwing herself at him, she keeps fooling around him

Her fear has been replaced with anger, bitterness for this man standing in front of her, that her stupid heart can't stop loving

Dante, you have no right to detect for her, is not like you are dating her, she is not under any obligation to obey you, so is not your business if she is flirting with me. One kindly advice stop talking to her, like she is under you, you are not dating her.

Why should I be dating her?

Good, so step aside, Barbara let's go. Jeffrey takes Barbara's hand, Dante jerk her hand from his.

We can't be dating because she is my wife.

She could hearing glasses shatter but it's just in her in imagination, she felt the ground should open and shallow her, she haven't really discuss that with Jeffrey, Dante must really be a devil send to destroy her.

Excuse me! Jeffery turned his gaze to Barbara, he really wants to hear it from Barbara's mouth, he wants confirmation, when did this madness start and while is he in the dark all the time? When did they get married? His eyes move to her finger, she is now wearing the ring, was she wearing this all this while? Why didn't he take notice? Too many questions in his head, he held his head like they were going to fall off his neck, this should be a dream, all in his imagination not for real.

Li Jun, can you stop this madness.

What madness? Am I not your husband?

Is he your husband?

Jeffrey shut up for once. Instead of yelling at Dante, she yelled at him. The young man eyes bulge out.

Why am I the one you are yelling? Just tell me, the truth, are you married? She nodded, Jeffrey grabbed his stuff.

Where are you going?

Home! That was the only words, he said, then turn, Barbara held his hand.

Let me explain, is not...

Stop! You should take care of your father for now, I just want to go home.

Are you mad at me? Dante roll his eyes, he can't wait for Jeffrey to finally disappeared, he peck her cheeks then increase his step.

How dare him peck her right in front of me? Probably wishing for death. Dante said to himself.

Jeff wait! Barbara call, she wants to run after Jeffrey, Dante grabbed her hand, Kathleen go after the devastated Jeffrey.

Let me go, what is wrong with you? She dragged her hand from his. Did they send you to torment me?

What did I do wrong? You should sit let's eat.

What is wrong with you? Barbara yelled, is he acting like he doesn't know what he did? Is he trying to act like nothing is wrong with his actions? He just take her friend unaware, she was going to tell him and give him the details of everything that made her ended up with Dante, not this way, not like this.

Nothing!

What?

Yes, what, what?

What is meaning of this madness? What is the meaning of what just happened? Barbara is mad, she had it up to her neck, Dante is getting on her nerves.

Which?

Everything, every madness of yours. Dante pulled the coffee on the table towards his lips then drop it.

It's stink like the owner.
