Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 269 Superstar’s Contract Wife

“What’s wrong?” Adam asked, his anger melting into concern as he noticed Claire reading a text, her expression turning pained.

Claire licked her lips–a small, nervous movement that didn’t escape Adam’s sharp eyes. His gaze followed every sweep of her tongue, and he found himself parting his own lips unconsciously.

“I’m worried…” Claire began hesitantly, slowly lifting her eyes to meet Adam’s. He quickly composed himself, shifting his gaze from her lips to her face and pressing his lips into a thin, disapproving line.

“That we left Daniel alone in the bathroom after you beat him to a pulp,” she continued, her voice tinged with worry. “What if… What if Daniel goes public, ranting about you attacking him?”

She was concerned; after all, Adam had dragged her away without a second thought, leaving Daniel alone. Knowing Daniel’s true nature, Claire was panicking. He was capable of doing anything for his own benefit and stooping to any filthy level to get what he wanted.

But Adam was fuming with jealousy, his anger intensifying as he realized Claire was still worried about her ex–boyfriend. The thought only made his frustration grow.

“You’re still thinking about him, huh?!” he snapped, his voice laced with accusation, making Claire furrow her brows.

She narrowed her eyes as she stared at the knucklehead superstar. Here she was, thinking about his clean image and doing everything possible to keep him out of trouble, yet he didn’t hesitate to blame her at

every turn.

“Adam, I’m worried about what will happen if your fans find out you beat a man in a hotel bathroom and left him bloodied! Do you even realize the consequences?” she shot back, her frustration boiling over. First Daniel, and now Adam–everyone seemed to take her for granted.
