Chapter 440: Chapter 440: The Lover Is You
When July Quinn returned to the small apartment, Kyle Keaton was watching financial news on the sofa.
He must have been back for a while already, changed into a light gray loungewear, with a faint scent of aftershave on him.
"Didn’t you say you’d be back soon? Why so late?"
He didn’t look at her, and his voice was a bit dull, indicating he was upset about her coming home late.
However, with his handsome face, even when angry, he exuded an irresistible ascetic charm.
"Something came up."
July Quinn sauntered over and sat directly on Kyle Keaton’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Besides, coming home late isn’t so bad, I can snuggle with you and watch the night glow cup as soon as I get back."
She was quite cheeky, each warm breath from her red lips lightly caressing Kyle Keaton’s sensitive ears.
The man, who initially kept a long face and seemed determined to ignore her forever, immediately tightened his grip on her waist.
"What night glow cup?"
Kyle Keaton was mildly annoyed.
He was still mad!
This woman didn’t even bother to coax him a little, she just went straight for the flirting.
If he couldn’t resist at this moment, she would definitely use the same trick to deal with him every time she upset him in the future. What status would he have left in this household then?
"Don’t like the night glow cup? How about a night glow watch instead? I remember a celebrity once used the excuse of watching a night glow watch to sneak into bed."
July Quinn said as she tugged at Kyle Keaton’s loungewear, looking eager.
There was nothing she could do!
She didn’t like coaxing people.
So instead of coaxing, she’d rather do something he enjoyed.
But her mischievous hand was quickly caught by Kyle Keaton, who coldly questioned her:
"Who cheated?"
"Me!" July Quinn said with a playful smile.
"Who’s the lover?"
Through July Quinn’s clear eyes, Kyle Keaton could see his own face looking gloomier than usual.
But there was nothing he could do!
He just couldn’t help being jealous.
Even though he knew, July Quinn loved to tease him with wild words.
Like this, it reminded him of when he first realized his feelings for July Quinn and searched online, stumbling upon an article titled "What is it like when a man loves a woman?"
The answer was — timid yet brave, outwardly calm but internally chaotic.
That answer was something he remembered clearly to this day.
At the time, he thought, how ridiculous that answer was.
How could loving someone involve so much drama?
But now, he seemed to see himself reflected in that answer.
In pursuit of July Quinn’s heart, he charged forward fearlessly, placing all his bets.
But whenever he thought of July Quinn possibly having feelings for another man, or even being infatuated with someone else, he would become timid and anxious, unable to stop himself from feeling jealous of that man.
Perhaps he had truly evolved from liking July Quinn to loving her.
So, he could not tolerate July Quinn cheating on him.
If this damn woman truly cheated, he would kill the lover first, then die alongside her!
But after Kyle Keaton made up his mind, he never expected July Quinn’s answer would be: "The lover is you."
"What?" Kyle Keaton was a bit taken aback.
Only to see July Quinn earnestly raising three fingers to swear: "I, July Quinn, swear to the heavens, I have no feelings for anyone else but you, my husband. If I ever cheat, the lover can only be you..."
The husband is you, and the lover is also you...
Never had Kyle Keaton felt his heart so full and sweet.
