Chapter 223

"Joshua, you look really handsome today," Sophia said. Suddenly, she grabbed my chin, and I frowned immediately. As I reached to shove her hand away, she grabbed my wrist with her other hand and gently kissed my cheek while standing on her tiptoes. "I suddenly regret inviting you to the gala," she murmured. Sophia could clearly feel her growing possessiveness inside her. If it weren't for me still being sensitive to her actions, she might have locked me away in the villa. I furrowed my brow, my face expressionless as I pulled her hand off my chin with my other hand. "Stay away from me." I pushed her hand away and took a step back, the disgust churning inside me. I took a deep breath, mentally reminding myself of the two million dollars. That was the only thing stopping me from walking away. Sophia smiled faintly, her tone playful. "You're my husband. It's only natural for me to be close to you." My hands unconsciously clenched into fists at my side upon hearing her words.
