Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 502:

As Marissa caught sight of the jealous expression on Connor’s face, she nearly laughed out loud, finding the whole situation rather amusing. However, seeing his anger simmer, she bit back her laughter; she knew well enough that it would only incite him further.

She desperately needed him to stay by her side while she napped, and ruffling his feathers was not an option. Riling him up could lead to a refusal that would cost her dearly.

Taking a moment to collect herself, she then flashed a sweet smile and offered an apology. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking about how you felt. Now that you’ve brought it to my attention, I see my error. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Marissa had lowered herself, attempting to pacify him with a gentle approach, yet Connor’s face remained clouded with displeasure. He responded, his voice laced with dissatisfaction, “Is that your whole apology?”

Her smile wavered—what more did he expect from her? Suppressing her irritation, she forced a brighter smile and tried another tactic. “I’ll spend money on you tomorrow! Just wait patiently for one night, okay?”

However, Connor remained unimpressed, his response curt. “We’ll discuss tomorrow’s plans then. Let’s settle today’s issue now.”

At this, Marissa’s patience snapped. She shot back, “Are you serious, Connor? I’m all set for bed. Do you expect me to go out and spend money right now, before I can sleep? If that’s what it takes, I’d rather not sleep at all!”
