Semua Bab Reborn: A Devil’s Deal to Ruin My Ex-Husband: Bab 91 - Bab 100

“ Thank you, mum,” Eloise muttered under her breath, with a half smile as she took her seat opposite Dayse. Warm tea was prepared for her and placed on the small and circular table in the middle of the yard, a little further away from the house. The cool breath did nothing to cool her racing chest, even though Tamara was nowhere in sight, she had no idea what Tamara had told her, had no idea why exactly Dayse had called her, but her heart ached with the thought that…this might be the end of their relationship. “ How are you doing, dear?” Dayse asked with a friendly smile, “ I'm fine, and you?” “ No, I’m not. You’ve forgotten about me, you barely come to visit me now.” Eloise gave a not-so-sure grin. Dayse’s expressions and words make her doubt if she knows anything about what was going on at all, and if Tamara really didn't tell her anything. “ I'm so sorry, Mum, things have just been somehow lately,” “ Hope everything is good?” She asked, her voice laced with worries that mad

“Mm…” She rested her chin on his chest, grinning wickedly. “If you kiss me, I’ll be in trouble too. But you won’t… because....Antonio doesn’t like to kiss.”Antonio’s jaw flexed. “I told you—there’s an exception.”Her smile widened. “Will you kiss me then?”He swallowed, voice dropping. “You have no idea.”“Hm? What did you say?”“Nothing.”She sucked her teeth, pouting. “Always nothing. Always. That’s why I don’t like you.” She gave his cheek a light slap. “I don’t like when I can’t tell what you’re thinking… or what you really mean.”He smirked. “Do you want to know that much?”Eloise nodded lazily, her eyes closing.She was stepping onto the last step when she stumbled but he caught her, her body crashing against his in a way that made his breath hitch, and his heart pounding.She turned her head to look at him, lashes blinking slowly, their eyes locking like neither of them could break away.The air was still. Only their breathing and the thud of his heartbeat filled the silence.

“Arghh,” Eloise groaned and strongly rubbed her palm against her face. Her spoon hovered above the soup prepared for her, but she had no appetite. She couldn't get that look off her head. That look that says a thousand. “ I did something, but what? Why would he not tell me,” her face wrinkled with worries and fear. The more she forced herself to remember something, even if it's just a little bit, the more headaches she had. As if it didn't want her to recollect anything. “ I didn't actually break his car, right?” She jumped to her feet and hurriedly went out. She checked the cars and heaved a sigh of relief. There was no single scratch on any of them. She placed her palm on her chest. Glad she didn't do the most dangerous thing of all. ‘ Or was it the utensils that I broke?’ She hurriedly went back inside again, checking through the bar to see if it was wine or other things that she ruined, but nothing was out of place, and nothing looked broken. Eloise collapsed back on the ch

Antonio dusted his shirt after dropping the third round of cartons while he turned around to head back to the storage. His face twisted with disdain at his dirtied shirt. He looked up just then to see Eloise struggling to carry two cartons as she staggered back and forth. “ Who gave you two cartons?” He flared up, dashing towards her and snatching them away from her slender arm. She exhaled in relief but Antonio’s gaze was blazing. “ I asked you who gave you two cartons?” “ Huh? Ugh, I carried it myself,” “ Don't you dare lie to me,” he glared behind her and made to dash towards that dusty man handing the cartons over to other volunteers but Eloise quickly grabbed his arm. “ No, please don't, I promise, only one carton,” “ No, no more cartons,” he retorted, looking at her dusty hair and dirty shirt. Even looking at her like this pisses him off. He angrily dropped the cartons, causing Eloise’s chest to jump in fright, afraid he was about to cause a scene, but what he

‘ If a day could get on one's nerves till they lose their sanity, then it'll be this day. It's like the only thing the King's family is good at, is getting on my nerves.’ Antonio said in his mind. First, it was the grandson, Leonard King, smiling as if auditioning for the role of the Most Annoying Human Alive. Does he not know what it means to maintain a distance? Standing too close to Eloise, and those little touches….a hand on her elbow, the swat on his arm. Antonio noticed every single one. Hell, he noticed them more than Eloise. He wants to snap those hands away from touching her, wipe those smug smiles off his stupid face. And worst of it all, she was smiling at him. SMILING. As if all that isn't enough, now the grandmother is telling him to babysit? Babysit the kids!? “ Ah, Mr. Brayden,” Mrs. Nadine had said warmly, pressing a hand to his arm. “Perfect timing. The little ones are restless, and I thought a strong young man like yourself could keep them occupied.” Her tone was
