My hand was grabbed so tightly it hurt. It was clear Chris was angry.

Was he jealous?

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, Chris let go of my hand. His gaze was cold when he warned, "Madeline, is this how you're taking revenge on me just because of one thing I said?"

I was a bit stunned. I didn't expect him to think that way.

"I didn't, I—"

Before I could finish explaining, I was interrupted.

"Where did you touch him? Did you really touch him there?" Chris' jaw was tense, and his eyes were filled with a fierce light as if he wanted to devour someone.

Such a reaction from him was rare; he was jealous after all.

In an instant, a lot of the unhappiness in my heart dissipated.

It seemed he still cared about me. If he only saw me as a sister or a friend, he wouldn't care if I touched another man.

"No," I denied it again.

As soon as I finished speaking, Yerick came out from inside and whistled at me. "Hooligan, why are you seducing my brother-in-law this time?"

It was true that a filthy mouth could never utter decent words.

Seeing the way Yerick looked at me with that annoying expression, I couldn't help but wonder if we had unresolved karma from a past lifetime.

As I watched Yerick walking toward me, especially seeing Jewel's fake innocent look, I thought of the scene where she touched Chris. I reached out and took Chris' arm.

However, I could feel his muscles stiffen.

"You're talking nonsense again." Jewel pinched Yerick as she came over.

She had an apologetic look on her face when she stood in front of Chris and me. "Madeline, I'm sorry."
