Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 576 - 572: Is He Good at Playing Rogue with You? (1)

"I suppose it’s important." He placed the glass on the dining table and then spoke, "I wonder if Third Young Master Land’s engagement party tomorrow night counts as an important event?"

He asked in return.

The fork in her hand almost dropped to the floor. She didn’t look at him, but took only two or three seconds to process his words,

"If Mr. Davis considers it important, then it must be important." Her tone was nonchalant.

She didn’t understand what Nolan Davis meant. He clearly knew about her relationship with Asher Land, yet every time, he deliberately, or perhaps unintentionally, rubbed salt into her wounds in front of her.

To this, she could only feign composure.

"Miss Morton has called me several times, saying that she and you used to be like sisters, and now that she is getting engaged, she wants me to make sure to bring you along."

"Do you believe that?" She lifted the corner of her lips, "Mr. Davis, you should be smarter than I imagine."

He understood the sarcastic undertone in her words, but somehow, he really wanted to take her to that so-called engagement party, to let her see firsthand the man she loved getting engaged to another woman. Perhaps it was a bit cruel, but he just wanted to remind her that there’s no possibility between her and Asher Land, and the sooner she realizes this fact, the better their future interactions will be.

"Either way, you won’t make me attend the party alone, will you? At least I should bring a female companion, right?"

"Mr. Davis, I believe plenty of women would flock to you, that’s nothing you should worry about."

"Those women don’t include you?"

"No, not included." She responded frankly.

A hint of self-mockery flashed in Nolan Davis’s eyes. Yes, many women flocked to him, but she was not one of them. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Sophie Smith continued to enjoy her meal casually. She was determined not to attend Asher Land’s engagement party, and Nolan Davis said nothing more.

A dinner that was supposed to be romantic passed in silence between them.

...

Sophie miscalculated.

She thought that as long as she held firm and did not attend Asher Land and Irene Morton’s engagement party, Nolan Davis would do nothing excessive to her. But she overestimated Nolan Davis’s ’gentlemanly demeanor.’

At 6 PM, Alexander was a bit sleepy. She gently lulled him to sleep and placed him on the bed. Just as she turned around, she bumped into Nolan Davis.

"Why are you still here at home?"

Logically, shouldn’t he be attending Asher Land and Irene’s engagement party by now?

"I’ve made up my mind—it’s you who should accompany me."

"But I’ve already made it very clear to you; I won’t go." Sophie, worried about disturbing Alexander’s rest, pushed him out with some guilt.

Nolan Davis bent down, scooped her up in his arms, and turned to head downstairs.

"Mr. Davis, what exactly are you doing, put me down."

"I’ve pretended to be a gentleman for too long in front of you, and I want to act shamelessly for once." The corners of his mouth lifted in a natural smile, as if he didn’t find any fault in being unscrupulous with her.

Unable to resist Nolan Davis, she was forcibly carried into the car.

"Why are all you men like this?" She was genuinely annoyed, her tone turning unpleasant. She thought she only had a temper with Asher Land, but unexpectedly, she found herself shouting at Nolan Davis too.

"All?" He held a trace of amusement in his eyes. "You’re talking about Third Young Master Land, aren’t you? He used to be quite unscrupulous with you too?"
