Chapter 18 I'm your husband

Lina's body lurched, what did he mean by that? She thought that there was no chance for this collaboration, and even if there was, it couldn't be now. As long as Angus agreed, she would be able to negotiate terms with Celta without having to be threatened by Celta. By the time she came back to her senses, Angus had already left. "Lina, are you okay?" Hansen reached out and waved his hand in front of Lina's eyes. "I'm fine." Lina smiled, her eyes still looking in the direction Angus had just left. "Are you going back?" Hansen asked with some concern. Lina nodded with a bitter smile, "Hansen, I'm sorry to worry you, but I didn't have a choice." Hansen knew her temper, so no longer persuaded, "Let's go to see the house I found for you first. You can see if it could satisfy you." "Good." Thinking of Dill, Lina finally showed a smile, it didn'tt matter if she had a bad time, but she must make sure Dill has a good time. The next morning, as soon as Lina arrived at the office, she came to Angus' office. At this moment Angus was sitting on the sofa, looking at today's newspaper. When he saw Lina enter, he didn't look up, as if he didn't see her. "Angus, you said yesterday about cooperation and would give me a chance?" Lina asked, somewhat puzzled. Angus set the newspaper aside, rested his hands on the sofa at his sides, and looked at Lina like a king, "You want me badly to promise Ollie a chance to cooperate?" In fact, yesterday from Alan's mouth, when he learned about Lina's past, he had decided to meet her and agreed to give Ollie some orders. Previously, he would be so disgusted only because he thought Lina was the woman who was counting on him every step of the way for money. When he learned all this, it was clear to him that there must be another reason why Lina wanted him so much to agree to give Ollie a chance to cooperate. Because what Celta had done was truly unforgivable. At this moment, he could clearly feel that Lina was looking forward to this matter. "It's easy to work with Ollie, but what's in it for me to do so?" Angus asked, raising an eyebrow. "But I don't have anything..." Lina's eyes turned bleak and she said with some disappointment. Angus raised an eyebrow, "Who says you didn't?" Before Lina could understand what he was talking about, he pulled her to the couch and sat down. Angus's arm was propped up by her ear as his eyes were fixed on her cheek. Never having been stared at in this way, Lina's face turned reddened at once. "What are you blushing about?" Angus' asked as he cupped Lina's chin and spoke. Angus' tone was inaudible, but it was enough to make Lina's heart beat faster. "I'm your husband. But I see that you are happy in front of other man. What? Are you playing innocent in front of me?" Angus asked teasingly. "I didn't!" Lina knew exactly what he was referring to. But that was all an accident, which just happened to all be seen by him. For Hansen, she had only gratitude and thankfulness, and no such feelings as he described. "I've seen it with my own eyes, do you still want to deny it? Even you're that lonely, don't you still have to wait for our relationship to end?" Angus's eyes narrowed up, with anger in them. Angus' performance during this period of time was becoming more and more incomprehensible to Lina. Not to say that there was nothing between her and Hansen, and even if there was, what did that have to do with him? They were supposed to be a partnership. Just as she knew the relationship between Annie and he, while she never asked him to keep his distance from Annie, did she? "Hansen and I were just-" Lina didn't finish her words. Angus suddenly lowered his head and kissed Lina's soft-looking lips. Lina's eyes widened in horror and she pushed him away with force. The memory of that night played in her mind, and Lina's body trembled as she ducked back. Angus was also stunned by his own actions, what had he just done? He had actually kissed this woman! This was a feeling that he never had when facing Annie, and he even felt a little uncomfortable when Annie came close to him. But when he saw the way Lina was dodging, he was a little upset, she wasn't so reserved when she was with that man. "What are you doing?" Lina said angrily to Angus. Angus acted in a way that made her feel cheap. Yes, she was only twenty years old, she was pregnant, and she didn't even know who the father of the child was. But that didn't mean that anyone could trample on her. "What for? I'm your husband. What do you think I'm doing now?" Angus said coldly. Angus tried hard to calm himself down and not let Lina see that he was a bit flustered in his thoughts at the moment. "We're not really a couple. We're just working together!" Lina shouted excitedly at Angus. Angus stood up and slowly walked to Lina's side, looking down at the shrunken Lina, "The contract doesn't state what can and can't be done." Her defensive look made Angus' mood even worse. He just kissed her. Why did she need to be so scared? Or maybe she was just sick of his kiss? What was so good about that man that she could be so determined to love him. "You love that man so much, but he may not truly love you, or he would let you carry his child and marry me?" Angus said coldly. Lina looked at Angus suspiciously and finally reacted, so he was thinking that the father of the baby in her belly was Hansen? "Angus, he-" Lina wanted to explain, but held her tongue. He wouldn't even believe her explanation anyway. Besides, it was supposed to be a deal between them, and she didn't have to explain anything to him, as if she would never ask him about what happened between him and Annie. Angus grunted coldly, stepped away and walked to his desk and sat down. "It's fine to work with Ollie, but, I'm a businessman, and I don't do things without benefits." Lina stood up from the couch, tidied her clothes, and looked at Angus perplexedly. "What do you want me to do?" Lina asked in confuse. Angus should have known that she had nothing, but this time he was the one who first suggested that he could work with Ollie, so there must be something he wanted to get. "Wait until I have something I need you to do." When Angus said that, he felt like he was going crazy. Since he met Lina, there was always no way to keep his emotions calm. He was the heir of the Bryan family, and he had what things were needed for a woman to do for her? But these words just came out of his mouth. Lina was a little hesitant, but according to what she knew about Angus, he wasn't someone who would do anything bad, and, in order to get her father's shares of the company back, she didn't have a choice. "Okay, I promise you what you want." Her only thought now was to help her dad get everything back, then end the relationship, find a strange place, and live well with the baby. "I need to remind you to watch yourself and stop being so close to other men until our relationship is over." Angus said in a cold tone. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but feel cranky just thinking about her being intimate with that man. Lina didn't say anything, she couldn't understand why Angus was so hostile to Hansen. Maybe it's just the dignity of being a man. That was the only plausible explanation she could think of. Only when Lina left Angus' office did Angus take a deep breath and then calm himself down. He hated this strange feeling. The woman's lips were very soft, which brought him back to that night when he was Dopingged and had sex with Annie. He couldn't remember exactly what had happened, but Lina's lips brought back memories of that night. However, this feeling, Annie never gave him again. Even, when Annie came close to him, he tried to push her away. He himself had no explanation as to why it turned out this way.
