The Reborn Wife Strikes Back ( Gordon Holmes’ )

Chapter 9 

“Nope. We’re just getting started.” 

I casually met his domineering gaze, and I couldn’t help provoking him a little with my 

I was tired and didn’t want to be trapped in this one–sided relationship anymore. 

It wasn’t necessary, nor did it matter. 

y tone. 

He could flirt with whoever and do whatever he wanted. I had wasted all my energy in my previous life. This time, I didn’t want to be a joke to others. 

Maybe I had a different attitude that day, but Gordon was put in an awkward position. 

His face darkened incredibly as he walked to me. He glared at me coldly and grabbed my chin in front of everyone. 

“Taylor, I don’t know what you’re playing at recently. However, if you keep this up and challenge my patience, you’ll know the consequences!” 

Consequences? I had already accepted the worst consequences. What else did I have to be afraid of? 

I let out a chortle when I heard that. Then, I grabbed his wrist and squinted at him. 

“If by consequences you mean getting a divorce, you can do it whenever you want. I’ve already prepared the papers for you.” 

Obviously, he was angrier after that. He forced me to sit on the snooker table and tightened his grip on my chin. 

It seemed like his eyes were burning with rage as he coldly said, “If you think a divorce is enough to stun me, you’re thinking too highly of yourself, Taylor!” 

If memory served me right, this was one of the few times we had gotten this close to each other after our marriage. We were so close I could see the pores on his face and smell the faint perfume on him. 

Previously, my legs would turn weak whenever he got close to me. Even after he yelled at me, I would still 

be attracted to him. 

Now, I only felt my chin was as tainted as my heart, and I felt suffocated. 

My face turned bright red. He was so strong that I couldn’t breathe or speak anymore. 

However, it wasn’t like he wanted to kill me. When he saw that my expression had turned weird, he let go and yelled while pointing at the door, “Get the hell out of here and go home now. 

“You aren’t allowed to be here anymore. You also can’t wear such inappropriate attire from now on!” 

Gordon could publicly mess around with other women and drink as much as he wanted while I couldn’t even wear whatever or be wherever I wanted. 

Why?

I wouldn’t even care if we got a divorce, so why should I care about what he said? 

“Sorry, I can’t do that,” I nonchalantly answered him. 

Then, I walked around hirm like nothing happened and winked at Hector. “Mr. Judd, shall we have another 

go?” 

“Taylor Morgan!” Gordon roared uncontrollably behind me. 

However, I acted like I heard nothing and hinted at Hector for us to continue. 

“Sure! I have yet to meet my match when it comes to snooker. Let’s continue…” 

I only wanted to use Hector to anger Gordon. Since Hector was Gordon’s best friend, I was prepared to be rejected by him. 

However, not only did Hector not reject me, he did the exact opposite. 

He used to follow Gordon like a shadow. But that night, he purposely got close to me. With a nod, he came to me with two cue sticks. 

I had drunk a lot in room eight that night. Since I hadn’t drunk in so long, I was starting to get buzzed. 

Just as I was about to take the cue stick from Hector, I suddenly felt dizzy. I lost my balance and fell 

toward the table next to me. 

Hector instinctively grabbed my waist. I was in his embrace in the next second.. 

I was wearing a short T–shirt. At that moment, my fair waist was exposed, and Hector’s hand was in direct 

contact with it. 

My face started turning red as I felt the warmth on my waist, 

Suddenly, I remembered Gordon was near us. With revenge in mind, I purposely wrapped my arms around 

I 

Hector’s neck. 

Gordon used to flirt like this to provoke me and hurt my feelings. I would turn into a lunatic and become a laughingstock. 

Today, I wanted to let him have a taste of his own medicine and be humiliated by everyone. 

Just like that, Hector and I were hugging under everyone’s gazes. We were so close that I could see Hector’s caring gaze. 

“Are you alright?” 

He supported my body with all his strength until he made sure I found my balance. Then, he finally let go. 

“I’m fine.” 

I stood still, and my heart was racing after I saw his passionate gaze. 

It was weird. In my previous life, we were enemies who would always fight. 

I wondered why his attitude toward me had changed. It seemed like he was a different person.

Just as I was pondering, there was an ear–piercing shattering noise in the room. 

Before I could react, a large hand suddenly pulled me back. After that, I was forced into another person’s 

embrace. 

I smelled a familiar perfume scent. When I looked up, I realized Gordon was standing firm in front of me. 

As for the loud noise just now, it was Gordon throwing a cue stick at a glass surface. 

The cue stick lay flat on the coffee table, and the glass mugs on top fell to the ground along with the 

expensive wine. 

Soon, the ground was covered in a stream of red liquid that slowly flowed toward my feet and Gordon’s. 

“Taylor, who said you could be so slutty?” 

Slutty? 

I couldn’t help but chortle and lifted my head with a provoking gaze. “You’re always so wild when you’re outside. So, what’s wrong with me being slutty? Wouldn’t that make us the perfect pair?” 

“Shut up!” 

Gordon couldn’t be more angrier. 

“Then, stop minding my business. It’s fine if you don’t want to get a divorce. We’ll just have our own fun and not interfere with each other,” I casually said. 

After so many years, this was the first time I was disobeying him in front of so many people. 

It really felt great to be rebellious like this. My emotions weren’t controlled by someone else anymore. 

and I felt light. 

Men like him were the most ridiculous in the world. 

He could change his woman whenever he wanted and have fun until late at night. Meanwhile, no matter how much he disliked his wife, she would still have to wait for him at home and obey him. 

“First, you drugged me. Then, you wanted a divorce. Now, you’re cheating on me.” 

Gordon scoffed. He was so confident that I knew what I was thinking. Even at that moment, he was sure I 

was just playing tricks on him. 

“Sure. If that’s what you think.” 

I was utterly speechless and wanted to struggle out of his embrace. 

However, not only did he not let go, but he tightened his grip around my waist. It was so tight that I felt like I was suffocating 

“Go home now!” 

His eyes were blazing red as he commanded me once more. His domineering attitude was enough to 

make anyone cower and tremble in fear. 

Chapte:9 

If I faced him like this in my previous life, I would’ve kneeled in front of him in shock like a servant. 

Now, it had no effect on me at all. I faintly smiled at him and seductively circled my finger on his chest. 

“You want me to go home? Sure. Why don’t you give that bitch from earlier a call and tell her to disappear from now on?” 

I didn’t actually think he would do that. I only said that to challenge his authority. 

However, I didn’t expect he would lift me off the ground right after I finished talking. 

Before I could react, I was on his shoulder. Then, he furiously stormed out of the room while single- handedly carrying me in front of everyone.
