Billionaire's Hidden Princess by Alegna Ciee (romance novel chinese novels TXT) 📗

“Now, I see… You’re only after her body, huh?” Gabriel claimed intrepidly.

“You really are still a child…” Livius trailed off while sniggering, peeving him even more.

“If I’m just going to end up wanting something from her, why would I settle with only that? Of course, I want her… And I want her whole – her heart, soul, mind, everything.”

Now, this is a first.

He can see his narrowed eyes glinting with intensity, desires and an unfathomable pit of rioting emotions. His smirk has contorted into an ambiguous one as well. With his proprietorial look alone, he can tell how intoxicated and obsessed he has grown with his girlfriend by this point.

It even almost comes out somewhat dangerous. For a fraction of a second there, Gabriel really thought that Livius was implicitly giving him a death warning.   

“I must say, though… You know Eya quite well too. I wonder why you didn’t attempt to make a move until now…” he scoffed with a venomous tone.

“If it were me, I would’ve pounced on a chance to ask her out as soon as I got one. But then again, you clearly had a negative perception of her before. Does that mean you’re the one who only wanted her body around here?”

“Huh?! What are you spouting out now-!”

“You said it yourself - she doesn’t get along with people. But I bet you never cared about that side of her. I mean, you didn’t make a move until now… Doesn’t that only signify that you don’t really appreciate her as a whole?”     

Struck stupefied and nonplussed, Gabriel stiffened on his spot.

He has a point about that. He never tried to get to know Leticia more before.

Seeing his unmoving and speechless reaction, Livius only smirks again. He knows he hit a nail.

With that, he finally decided to walk away, leaving him there with his befuddled thoughts.
