Chapter 1043
Louis raised his eyebrows. “Of course, I do. I have seen a lot of women, so do you think she can fool me with those
petty tricks?”
Ryleigh did not say anything. Initially, she thought no man would be able to differentiate batches from other
ordinary women.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked incredulously, “Then why did you behave like a stupid man
during the incident with Willow?”
Louis was momentarily stumped when Ryleigh brought up the incident from three years ago. He was caught
between tears and laughter as he said, “I didn’t even like Willow, alright? When my mother said that she’s my
cousin because of an item of evidence, did I believe it?“
Ryleigh was stumped. It seemed to her that Louis was right. He had never admitted that Willow was his cousin.
Suddenly, she remembered something and went closer to him. “Then am I a scheming girl to you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You?” Louis crossed his arms around his chest and laughed. “If you’re considered a scheming girl with your
intelligence, I’m afraid that there are no scheming women in this world.”
“What? How could you!?” Ryleigh shouted angrily.
Louis grabbed her into his arms, and his smile broadened. “I’m just stating the truth. But this is why I like you.
You’re simple, cute, and easy to be bullied.”
Ryleigh showered his chest with her fists. and Louis stopped her by grabbing her hands and securing her tightly in
his arms.
“Of course, no one can bully you other than me.” Ryleigh rolled her eyes at him and said,” You said that because
you can’t bully Xyla, right?” Louis rested his chin on the top of her head and said, “Why do you have to be jealous of
her? Does a man need so many reasons when he chooses the woman he likes?”
Perhaps for other men, picking a perfect and flawless wife to spend the rest of their lives respectfully was the right
choice, but he did not need it. He had been raised in a good environment, so he had been exposed to too many
good women.
The reason he had chosen Ryleigh over Xyla was not that Xyla was bad. It was because he had seen too many
resemblances in Xyla. They led the same life and were harsh to themselves. When they were together, they would
interact like friends more than lovers.
In his memory, Ryleigh was as excellent as he. If he had come across her earlier, he might not have married her.
However, the reality was that even though he had never interacted with Ryleigh before, he had heard of her many
times from other people and was interested in her.
He had been amazed and impressed by her when he saw her on the stage in Bassburgh High, but he did not think
she would be the woman who would walk the rest of his life with him.
However, destiny was unpredictable. When he saw Ryleigh, she was no longer the “perfect Ryleigh” she used to be.
Even though she was flawed, she was straightforward and simple despite being born into a wealthy family. This was
something he couldn’t find in other women who came from the same background

as them. Therefore, he chose Ryleigh in the end.
Several days later… When Ryleigh met up with Maisie in a coffee shop, she recounted everything that had

While Maisie was stirring her coffee, she lifted her head and asked, “So, Xyla stepped in and saved you from your
predicament?”
“That’s because your cousin said I can’t handle Jodie alone,” Ryleigh said with a pout.
Maisie chuckled. “Well, my cousin isn’t wrong. Putting that Jodie aside, you’re the only one who would get bullied
like that in the academy.”
Ryleigh lowered her head to sip on her coffee. She looked vulnerable and helpless but refused to admit it. “I won’t
let other people bully me next time.”
“If they come to look for trouble again, I’ll fight back. I want them to know that I, Ryleigh Hill, isn’t a pushover!”
Ryleigh said confidently.
Maisie put her hand on her forehead and said, “I guess they won’t come to look for trouble any more about this
time. Honestly, it’s very easy to counter them. If you can prove the worth of the orchestra department to everyone,
won’t you be able to shut their mouths?”
