Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1232

She hadn't actually kicked him that hard; Wilbur had just been caught off guard. So, even as he sat on the floor, he wasn't angry. In fact, he looked like he was in an excellent mood.

Claire couldn't understand it. She had just kicked him, so what on earth was he so happy about?

"It's getting late. I need to sleep!" Claire quickly issued her eviction notice. She was clearly panicked, though she refused to admit exactly what it was that she was afraid of.

Wilbur suddenly found his gentlemanly manners. "Alright, get some rest."

His quick agreement actually caught Claire by surprise.

Catching her bewildered expression, Wilbur smirked. "What? Did you want me to stay?"

"Absolutely not!" she practically shouted.

Wilbur knew if he pushed her any further, she would explode. He had already reaped plenty of benefits for one night and felt completely satisfied. He sincerely wished her a good night and left.

He actually left.

Claire stared blankly at the closed door. A long moment passed before she violently buried her face in a throw pillow, letting out a muffled groan of frustration. "Dammit! Why do I feel disappointed?!"

Eason Clayton arrived in Northcrest late that night, and Wilbur went to the airport to pick him up personally. After briefly discussing business, Eason finally asked, "You're in a suspiciously good mood today. What happened?"

Wilbur drove smoothly, the smirk on his face practically permanent. "I heard a very interesting piece of news this evening."

"Oh?"

"A married couple got into a massive fight."

Eason gave him a look. "Someone else's marriage is falling apart, and that makes you happy?"

"It sure does."

"Psycho," Eason scoffed.
