Chapter 1398 Explaining Last Night's Events The only feeling Nigel felt at that moment was anxiety. So, this is what made Queenie so angry last night. Was she at the srestaurant? Did she seeand Ingrid together? Ignoring him, Queenie headed for her car, but he quickly caught up with her and continued to explain, “Queenie, last night’s dinner was arranged by my mom. She didn’t tellit was a blind date, and | only found out about it when | got there. | tried to leave, but my mom wouldn't let me. | also told her that | already have someone | like and that | already have a girlfriend, but my mom won't believe me... Queenie, you can shout athowever you want.” After saying that, he oppressively grabbed her arms and forbade her from leaving.
With nowhere to go, she turned to face him and revealed an angry countenance on her stunning face. “Nigel, do you see three words on my face?” “Huh? What three words?” He was dumbfounded.

Perhaps Nigel had limited experience in quarreling with a woman, or perhaps he was used to being the one who listened to others’ explanations because it was obvious that he was not good at apologizing. Therefore, he looked rather dumb at this moment.
Queenie escaped his grip and sneered. “I thought you were different from Leslie, but | was wrong. You men are all the same. So, you can play all you want in the future, but don’t cand look foranymore. | don’t want to be someone else’s replacement.” Once again, Nigel froze in his spot as he did not expect her attitude to becso cold suddenly.
Throughout her sleepless night, Queenie had been thinking about how men loved being surrounded by women.
The more she thought about it, the angrier and more discouraged she became. She would rather hide under the covers, cry her heart out, and gradually forget about i be played like a fool. That was her character; she could not stand the slightest bit of betrayal.
On the other hand, Bonnie never left the courtyard and had been hiding behind the trees, jealously watching Nigel apologize while Queenie pushed him away like a queen.

Unlocking her car, Queenie pulled open the door of the driver's seat and got in while the man beside her instantly opened the door and sat on the passenger seat like a sly fox.
She was about to fasten her seatbelt when she swept her gaze across the man beside her and ordered, “Get out.” “I won't. Unless you listen to what | have to say, I'll keep following you around until you're willing to listen.” While biting her lower lip, she compromised. “I'll give you five minutes. After that, get out of my car.” Nigel's eyes brightened when he heard that, so he took a deep breath and organized his thoughts before beginning his explanation. “Two days ago, in the afternoon, | got a call from my mom, insisting that | attend a gathering. | didn’t think much of it back then and simply agreed. That's why | only discovered there was a young woman there after | arrived in the room. It was also then that | realized my mom had arranged another blind date for me.” “That woman must be pretty and cfrom a rich family, am | right? Also, her educational background must match yours brilliantly, so you should consider her! Why are you even here?” Queenie mocked.
After sighing, Nigel stared fixedly at her clear side profile. “Queenie, you're the first woman whom | have fallen in love with, and you'll be the last one as well. No matter how excellent the women my mom introduced toare, I will never develop any feelings for them. | only have eyes for you.” “Fine, then. Letask you another question. We've been dating for a month now, but why have you never mentioned anything about bringinghto your parents?” There was a hint of interrogation in her words.
Her question immediately silenced Nigel as he blinked at her. “Queenie, it’s my fault for being insensitive. | had thought about bringing you hto meet my parents, but they are constantly urgingto get married, so | was afraid that they might put too much pressure on you. That's why | wanted you to datea little longer so that you can get to knowbetter before contemplating marriage with me.”
