All Chapters of The Arrogant Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Since the day he kissed Ruby, Chris had grown increasingly confused about his own feelings. The binoculars had been used more frequently, and today was no exception. The light in that bedroom remained off, as if its owner had not yet returned. Chris neither called nor texted Ruby. He did not pursue her, and that feeling made him more and more frustrated with each passing day. When he approached her, he felt good, but when he did nothing, everything seemed to drift farther apart.He raised the binoculars again when he noticed movement in front of Ruby’s house. The sight of a handsome young man appeared alongside Ruby, who was dressed in a white evening gown with both shoulders bare. Amber warmly welcomed the man. Chris put the binoculars down as the two of them disappeared into the house.About ten minutes later, the mysterious man left the house, and the light in Ruby’s bedroom suddenly came on. She had not closed the curtains as she usually did, so he could see inside the room clear

The girl in the school uniform looked incredibly familiar to Theo. As he drove closer, he had to stop immediately; he had never seen Ella in this outfit before.“Ella, where are you going? Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride.”​“I’m going to take an exam at the university, Theo. I can go by myself.”​“At this hour, there’s no available motorcycle taxi. Get in quickly. I’ll take you there, right now, Ella!” he said, half-commanding.​Ella held her bag tightly. Seeing his gaze, she reluctantly opened the car door and sat down. At least she didn’t want to be late for the exam like the day before.​“You look good in this outfit,” he complimented the girl sitting beside him, though his eyes remained on the road ahead. Ella looked down at what she was wearing and frowned. What was so interesting about this outfit compared to her usual clothes?​“So you study here? Not bad, it’s not too far,” he said, looking at her blouse buttons and already able to tell where she went to school.​“B

“I think you should go home, Theo. I can take care of my own nanny. And if it’s not necessary, don’t come looking for Ella. If your mother finds out about this, I don’t think she’d be pleased.”“Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m just speaking what I see. Paula wasn’t very fond of Ella, to the point of kicking her out of the house. And you didn’t protect her either. I don’t think you have any real feelings for Ella either. Why don’t you both just stay out of each other’s way?”Being confronted like this, Theo immediately scowled at him, though in truth, he had no argument against it.“I’ll say this one more time, Tucker. No matter what, Ella and I are husband and wife. Just don’t interfere in our business any further.” With that, he walked away immediately.Tucker was left staring in shock. Following Theo to scold him probably wouldn’t do any good, so all he could do was shake his head in frustration, wondering how Ella could tolerate such a hot-tempered man.Not long after, Tucke

“What is it? Answer me.” Chris brushed Ruby’s hip under the water with a light touch.“Ruby,” he called her name again when she still didn’t say a word. A small smile tugged at his lips before he deliberately gave her round hip a firm squeeze beneath the water, teasing her stubbornness.“N-never!” she blurted out in surprise, quickly batting his hand away from her hip. That alone made Chris’s smile spread into a wide grin.“Then why did you say that earlier? Hm? Were you trying to trick me into getting jealous, Ruby?”“It’s not like that! I only thought about wearing it before, that’s all.”“So that means you never actually did.” He cut in at just the right moment, making Ruby glare at him in annoyance.“Yes, never. Happy now? But there’s an out-of-office trip next month. My boss said we’re going to the beach, so I’m sure I’ll get to wear it then.” This time she teased him with a half-playful, half-sarcastic tone.“Don’t you dare, Ruby. I won’t allow it.”“Why should I need you

This dinner should have been a happy one, but by chance, one of Chris’s friends walked into the restaurant, and the atmosphere at their table worsened. Nico had been his friend since elementary school through high school, and the two were quite close. If Chris was the man she wanted to get close to, then Nico was always the obstacle standing in her way."Well, Ruby, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful. So, are you married yet? Got a husband or kids?" Believing that his friend might be harassed again, like in the past, Nico immediately stepped into his role."No, I don’t have a husband or kids. What about you? Are you married yet?" Ruby replied with a hint of sarcasm. After all these years, Nico still hadn’t gotten along with her."Not yet. I’m still looking around. Actually, you don’t seem so bad yourself. What do you say, Chris? Don’t you agree with me?" he said, squinting playfully at Ruby. Chris didn’t answer, knowing full well that his friend was mischievous by n
