Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 971

Claire wanted to laugh. "And? Is that something worth showing off?"

A married man coming home on time every day... wasn't that the bare minimum?

But coming from him, it sounded like an accomplishment. Ridiculous.

Did she even care now?

Seeing her indifferent face, Felix felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He suppressed his emotions. "I've been carefully tending to the succulents you bought. Watering them every day. But somehow, they just keep dying one by one."

Claire sneered.

Was he trying to say he was attentive?

If he really cared, he would have learned about their habits beforehand—knowing they didn't like too much water.

Just like he said he wanted to make things work with her, yet knowing she cared about Madeline's presence, he still stayed entangled with her.

Zero credibility.

She turned her head away, looking out the window.

When she used to bare her heart to him, he couldn't even be bothered to look.

Now that she wanted nothing, he started caring about these trivial things.

Is this how men are?

The scenery outside the window quickly retreated in the night, never to return.

Just like their marriage.

Seeing her unmoved, Felix grew anxious. "Are you really just going to ignore them?"

And ignore him too?

Claire was about to speak.

Felix's phone rang.

The familiar ringtone made a wave of nausea rise in Claire's chest.

Felix desperately wanted an answer from her, so he rarely hung up on Madeline's call.

"Claire, can we just..."

Before he could finish "go back to how we were," the phone rang again.

Claire said mockingly, "You'd better answer your little sweetheart's call. If you're a second late, I'm afraid she might kill herself."

Felix frowned.

The phone rang like a death warrant. He also worried something had happened to Madeline, so he had no choice but to answer.
