Noah Drexler raised his hand to take the handbag, glanced down to check it, and only when he saw the item was still there did his expression improve slightly.
He gave Sean Morgan a quick glance, but without saying anything more, he turned around and came back.
Summer Shawcross was already sitting in the car. Seeing him return and enter the cabin, she couldn’t help but turn her head curiously to look at him.
Her gaze landed on the handbag in his hand, and then she deliberately used a teasing tone to speak to him.
"Didn’t you say it was ugly, why did you pick it up again?" She curled her lips.
As soon as she finished speaking, Noah’s expression changed, and his handsome face showed a rather unnatural look.
"I just like ugly things, is that not allowed?!" He frowned, gave her an annoyed look, and then said in a deep voice.
His tone was full of dominance!
Seeing the man’s awkward demeanor, Summer couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.
This man, even when embarrassed, still carried such a domineering presence.
Hearing her laughter, Noah’s expression darkened, and his face showed a hint of anger.
"Summer Shawcross, is it really that funny?" He restrained his anger and asked her word by word.
His tone carried a strong sense of danger...
Very well, she dared to laugh at him?
His voice startled Summer, and she immediately wiped the smile off her face.
"Uh... not really." Saying this, she quickly turned her head, pretending to look out of the window as if nothing had happened.
Seeing her suddenly become so obedient, Noah’s cold eyes inexplicably softened a little.
After a moment, he lowered his head again and looked at the handbag on his lap.
His previously tightly pressed thin lips couldn’t help but slowly curl up...
...
When they returned to The Hillside Villa, it was already late afternoon, and the previously overcast weather suddenly started to drizzle.
The car had just stopped when the servant came over with an umbrella to escort the two into the villa.
"Madam, I’ve made some silver ear lotus seed soup for you. It’s good for beauty and health, please give it a try."
Summer had just walked in the door when the butler greeted her warmly with a smile.
Ever since Summer had a talk with the butler, her perception of Summer had changed quite a bit. Moreover, these days, Summer’s change in attitude toward Mr. Drexler made the butler feel that the once-disliked Miss Summer was gradually becoming someone she liked and felt close to.
As soon as she heard the word "beauty," Summer nodded without hesitation and turned to follow the butler to the dining room.
Seeing the sudden improvement in Summer’s relationship with the butler, Noah couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, showing an expression of surprise.
She had once said she hated everything related to him, including this villa and everyone here.
"Madam seems a lot happier than before," Sean couldn’t help but remark.
He always felt that Summer had changed a bit these days, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint how. She no longer seemed to have that prickly demeanor, and she smiled more, appearing much cuter than before.
From the first day Summer entered The Hillside Villa, Sean thought that this ill-tempered, capricious girl didn’t deserve the title of being with the business prodigy, their boss.
But... until recently, he suddenly changed his mind.
Because he noticed that the changes in Madam these days seemed to have brought about a positive change in the boss’s mood.
Even the frequent headaches that he used to have hadn’t occurred once recently.
