The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 239



Chapter 239

Paige was at a loss for words when she heard Hardy's voice.

Joseph smirked and looked at her mockingly.

Paige knew what he was thinking about, even without him saying anything.

"Didn't you say you didn't have anything with him? Why is he here then?"

Paige's face turned red. Hardy knocked on the door a few more times before he shouted, "Paige! Can I come in? I brought you something to eat!"

She did not want to let him in. Her hair and clothes were both messed up by Joseph, and her lips were also swollen from the kiss.

How could she let him see her like this?

She immediately refused, "Mr. Anthony, I am already in bed!"

When Joseph heard her answer, he thought that Paige was worried that their relationship would be exposed to Hardy, so he scoffed mockingly.

He angrily got off the bed to leave, but Paige was startled by his actions.

That b*stard!

What was he trying to do?

If he went out right now, she would be so embarrassed for Hardy to see the state she was in.

She grabbed Joseph's hand and lowered her voice. "What are you doing? Joseph, if you dare open the door, I'll make your life a living hell!"

The sadistic look in Joseph's eyes deepened.

Paige knew that he had misunderstood her, "Right now I'm... Are you really going to let other men see me like this?"

Joseph narrowed his eyes.

Paige was indeed in a mess, and it was not a good idea for others to see her like this.

But he didn't believe that it was her reason.

She just didn't want to expose her relationship with him to Hardy.

She wasn't even touched when he volunteered to be her accompaniment in the performance just now.

He sneered, "If you don't let me go now, then I won't leave tonight!"

"You rogue!" Paige glared at him.

"It's up to you. Either I open the door right now or I won't leave at all. I also have a reputation to keep!"

"Alright, don't leave then!" Paige had no choice but to compromise. Who knew what he would do if he went out.

Hearing that she had already rested, Hardy, who was outside, frowned slightly. He was worried about her injury and knew that she liked to eat sweets, so he specially brought her desserts.

Since she said that she was already in bed, he had no reason to disturb her, so he left with the desserts in his hands.

Listening to the footsteps of Hardy's departure, Joseph raised his eyebrows and smiled. He happily climbed back into bed and said, "You agreed just now! I won't leave tonight!"

"I agreed that you can stay, but I didn't say that you could come onto my bed. Get down!"

"You didn't say that I cannot go on your bed either. If you take back your words, I'll open the door and go out right now. Hardy probably isn't far from here. Should I ask him to come back?"

"You are such a bully!" Paige grit her teeth and said, "Fine! You take the bed, and I'll take the sofa. Deal?"

"Don't even try going on the sofa." The smile on his face disappeared as he looked at her coldly.

Once his cheekiness disappeared, he became a completely different person. She was a little scared, so she did not dare to move and laid on the bed stiffly while staring at him.

Joseph patted his pillow and said, "Don't you want to sleep? Go to sleep!"

"Don't you dare touch me!"

"I know! Am I that kind of person?" Joseph replied with annoyance.

Paige pulled the blanket over her body and laid down.

Joseph turned off the lights but left the wall lamp next to him on. He sent out a WhatsApp message with his phone in hand.

Paige closed her eyes at this moment. She wasn't sleepy at first, but when she smelled the cologne on him, she fell asleep in peace.

While listening to her steady breaths, Joseph reached out to pat her head and shook his head as he laid down.

He was reminded of something and he got up again. He walked to the corner of the bed to check on her foot. It was already covered with plaster, so he couldn't tell what condition it was in, so he reached out his hand and touched it gently.

Seeing that Paige did not react, he turned back and lay next to her. He stared at her pretty face for a while and reached out to hold her in his arms.

He had promised not to touch her, but he couldn't control himself from holding her. He was debating on whether or not he should kiss her, but she was in such a deep sleep, so she wouldn't know even if he had done something.

So, he lowered his head and kissed her. At first, he just wanted to give her light peck, but after actually doing it, he didn't want to let go anymore.

As he was kissing her, he forgot about their promise and got all handsy with her.

Paige was in a daze, but she still felt that something was off, so she softly punched him several times.

The man coaxed her softly, "Bear with me just for a little while. Be a good girl!"

He didn't actually mean it when he said 'a little while'. As they were being reunited after so long, how could he not take advantage of this opportunity to do his 'business"?

Paige begged him again several times before he finally let her go. After doing what he wanted, he felt refreshed and went to take a shower.

He took out his phone and sent a message to James. "Get someone to send me a few sets of women's clothing."

James was chatting with Aiden and Michael when he saw the message. He laughed, "Didn't you say you were going to be an abuser? Why are you asking me for women's clothes?"

Aiden tilted his head and saw the text message on his screen. He laughed and said, "Joseph, you're such a b*stard!"

Not long after Joseph sent the text message, someone knocked on the door.

Abbie shouted at the door, "Paige! I brought you your favorite dessert. Open the door!"

Joseph had no choice but to get up and open the door. She was frightened when she saw that the person who opened the door was not Paige, "You…"

"She's asleep. Miss Cook, you can eat the desserts yourself!" After saying this, Joseph closed the door. She stood at the door with her eyes wide open.

It took her quite a while to react. Were Joseph and Paige back together again? NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

D*mn it!

Paige chose love over her.

Did she not want to hang out anymore once she had a man?

She didn't even show up and asked Joseph to send Abbie away.

Fuming, she returned to her room, "Paige, just you wait and see how I'll deal with you tomorrow!" she mumbled.

The atmosphere in the hall downstairs was still as lively as ever. Hardy was sipping on a glass of red wine and chatting with some familiar people, while his eyes looked around the hall.

He was surprised upon seeing Paisley in the corner of the hall alone. Wasn't she with Joseph?

Why was she sitting alone in the corner drinking? He got up and walked to Paisley, "Why are you here alone?"

Paisley looked at him solemnly. "Bro, I'm not in a good mood!"

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, do you like Paige?" Paisley answered him with a question.

Hardy nodded without denying it. Paisley sneered. "Do you know what type of person she is?"

"Not quite yet, but I am trying to get to know her better."

"Let me tell you, she is Joseph's ex-girlfriend.”
