Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Do You Like Me?
Meanwhile, in the small apartment—
July Quinn was pressed on the sofa by Kyle Keaton, sharing a passionate kiss.
The phone fell to the ground, unnoticed by either of them.
When the kiss finally ended, July Quinn kicked Kyle Keaton angrily.
"Are you crazy? Didn’t you see I was on the phone?"
She had just connected with Vivian Lynn, and hadn’t even started chatting.
Kyle Keaton had just come home, grabbed her and kissed her without a word, leaving her stunned.
But the one who got kicked just held her foot in his palm.
"Who told you to wear that for the live stream?"
As he spoke, he glanced again at the black strapless dress July Quinn was wearing.
Previously, when she wore this for a performance, he hadn’t seen it, and didn’t have time to watch her performance on Creation Camp.
But today was different.
During her live stream, Miles Jacobs had rushed into his office with a phone in hand, excitedly muttering something about July Quinn being CC.
But Kyle Keaton didn’t know what CC was, nor did he understand what the word GIRLS that kept appearing in the comments meant.
He’s a busy CEO, with no time to keep up with entertainment gossip.
But he knew that the person in the live stream was his supposed Mrs. Keaton.
The black strapless dress highlighted her perfect figure, making her skin glow in contrast.
Terms like fair-skinned, beautiful beyond comparison, stunning enough to cause kingdoms to fall, none were enough to describe the woman on the screen.
So in the comments section, quite a few men left messages, saying they wanted to pursue her, claiming love at first sight, and even expressing interest in being her backup lover.
In short, those comments made Kyle Keaton very annoyed.
That’s why he left the office early and came home to assert his claim.
Although July Quinn was still on her period and nothing could actually happen.
But after kissing her, some of his inexplicable annoyance dissipated considerably.
Looking at July Quinn, whose cheeks were flushed from the kisses, looking increasingly alluring and charming, his eyes grew even darker.
And as for July Quinn, she also studied Kyle Keaton for a moment.
In those deep-set eyes of his, she discerned a strong sense of possessiveness.
She immediately broke into a smile: "Honey, you’re something else!"
Kyle Keaton didn’t respond but raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
At this moment, July Quinn suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, like a fox, squinting her eyes as she asked him.
"Quick, tell me, have you fallen in love with me?"
Kyle Keaton was stunned.
He had to admit, this black strapless dress on July Quinn brought out an innocence and allure that made one want to drown in her tender embrace.
But the question is... love?
Does he love July Quinn?
No!
Probably not.
He just found this woman interesting and fit to be a partner in life.
But love...
That seemed quite distant!
July Quinn looked forward to an answer for quite a while but didn’t get a response from him.
However, the momentary dazed expression on his face didn’t escape her eyes.
So she already got the answer from his reaction—he didn’t love her!
She told herself it was no big deal.
After all, there are plenty who don’t love her, and if there’s a line, Kyle Keaton might not even make it to some corner of it.
But somehow, her nose started to feel sour and tingly.
This made her feel like a child who didn’t receive candy, feeling forlorn, helpless, and sad.
But she didn’t want anyone to see her in this state, especially not Kyle Keaton.
So, she suddenly pushed Kyle Keaton away and turned to enter the bathroom.
Kyle Keaton didn’t expect July Quinn to push him away, and for a moment, he could only stare blankly at the door of the bathroom, which was slammed shut, practically rattling...
