CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: IT’S HEARTFLUTTER!

Under the warm hospitality of The Jacobs Family, July Quinn and Kyle Keaton sat together.

Taking advantage of the fact that others weren’t paying attention, July Quinn grasped Kyle Keaton’s palm and asked softly.

"President Keaton, what’s wrong with you? Why does it feel like you’re mad at me?"

Asking was a mistake—Kyle Keaton’s face turned even worse.

"You used to call me ’husband’ every chance you got. Now I’ve been downgraded to ’President Keaton’?"

The man retorted coldly, fixing July Quinn with a gaze full of mockery and displeasure.

"I’m just keeping up with the trends. Besides, aren’t you worried if I call you ’husband’ here, it’ll make those high-society ladies who secretly love you tear up?"

July Quinn felt a pang of jealousy inside.

When Kyle Keaton made his entrance earlier, she couldn’t help but notice how many of those rich heiresses were all lovestruck.

Especially when Kyle Keaton’s position as CEO of Regalscape Group was revealed, quite a few heiresses went straight over to court him.

If not for July Quinn constantly keeping Kyle’s admirers at bay, there could have been a whole line of women eagerly following him around by now.

That’s right, July Quinn admitted she had slyly scattered Kyle’s admirers earlier.

As for why...

Probably, perhaps, maybe she was moved.

Yet she would never first admit she had fallen for someone.

Because Leah told her, whoever falls in love first is bound to be the loser, always more humble than the one being loved.

She didn’t want to be a loser, nor did she want to be humble.

But her playful taunts seemed to have led to misunderstandings.

"Why do I feel like you don’t call me husband, not because you’re afraid of those heiresses tearing up, but for personal reasons?"

Kyle Keaton squinted his sharp eyes, sizing up July Quinn coldly.

Indeed, in his eyes, July Quinn was heartless.

Even if she did have feelings, they must have been misplaced on Nathan Jacobs.

Otherwise, why didn’t she wait for Nathan to speak? Old Master Jacobs merely mentioned it and she forgave them?

She didn’t even consider how they all watched her being bullied before, indulged Nathan Jacobs, allowing him to drive them away.

So in Kyle Keaton’s eyes, July Quinn’s quick forgiveness of Nathan Jacobs was mere love for him and a desire for further development with him.

"What private reasons could July have?"

July Quinn looked innocent, acting as if she didn’t understand or know what Kyle Keaton was talking about.

Kyle Keaton didn’t respond, watching her mouth, uncannily recalling the previous moment of kissing her.

To dispel the thoughts from surfacing in his mind, Kyle Keaton released July Quinn’s hand he had held, pouring her a glass of water.

Miles Jacobs witnessed the gentleman personally pour tea for July Quinn and was so surprised that he nearly tripped.

The commotion he caused attracted July Quinn’s gaze to him.

Naturally, it also drew disapproving looks.

Miles Jacobs quickly apologized: "I’m sorry, I just stepped on a banana peel! You two continue, just treat me like air."

After his apology, the two finally withdrew their gaze, continuing their interaction.

However, Miles Jacobs couldn’t help but keep his gaze on them.

How prestigious is the gentleman’s identity?

Wherever he goes, isn’t it normally others rushing to serve him tea?

When would it be his turn to do such a thing?

Yet today, the gentleman did it.

And the recipient was July Quinn!

Miles Jacobs couldn’t resist but doubted again that the gentleman truly cared for July Quinn.

Here, Kyle Keaton handed the glass of water to July Quinn, succinctly commanding, "Drink."

"Will you stop being angry if I drink it?"

Before Kyle Keaton could respond, July Quinn downed the glass of water directly.

After all, he was the man who made her heart race until she almost fainted; of course, she should pamper him.

Just after drinking the water, July Quinn noticed a glance cast by Nathan Jacobs.

July Quinn froze!

She nearly forgot the main business!

"I need to go to the restroom." July Quinn quickly placed down the glass.

"Why so many excuses? Absolutely not." Kyle Keaton’s face darkened again.

Don’t think he didn’t notice that earlier her gaze had crossed paths with Nathan Jacobs!
