Baby Cupid: Could You Be My New Mommy (or Miss, My Father loves you)

Chapter 13 Play Hard To Get

Zack's face was grim.

He couldn't believe his ears.

"Be thankful Bennie likes you, but that's not a pass for you to not fear me," Zack reminded her.

"Mr. Ji, I promised Bennie that I will stay and cook for him. But if you don't want to see me, I'll be leaving then.

He was a dangerous man she shouldn't offend. So she proceeded to take off her apron and leave.

Zack reached out his hand to stop Daryl. He frowned and said, "Don't go. I have promised Bennie and I don't want to break it."

Daryl bit her lip and glared at him. "Then leave. Stop bothering me."

Her red eyes made Zack feel torn.

"This is my home. Who do you think you are to drive me away?"

"You're being unreasonable!" Daryl was feeling frustrated.

Zack was not happy with her response. He grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall.

He raised his hand and held Daryl's chin tightly.

"Unreasonable? How many times have you provoked me? Are you playing hard to get?" Zack lowered his gaze, from her face down to her collar. He felt breathless.

"You think too much, Mr. Ji. Also, don't touch me. You're always pestering me. I might think that you like me." Daryl held her breath.

Zack's face had a dark expression.

Daryl's phone rang and interrupted the tension between them.

It was Candida.

Daryl knew that Candida was up to no good, but she badly wanted to stay away from Zack. So she answered the phone.
