Chapter 1586 Who Is The Better Kisser (2/2)
While Xandria was speaking, she stared at Perrin with eyes full of resentment.
”Do you realize how silly you sound right now? As an actress, you show your face to countless men every day. Because of that, I'm always worried that another man will come along and sweep you off your feet. With that in mind, do you really think that I'm still lying when I say that I want you to marry me? If that isn't enough for you to believe me, just
sked, ”Why is it so quiet there? Is Michelle with the baby already?”
”Well, if you want to talk to Michelle, you should've just called her phone!” Ray replied in a slightly peeved tone.
”Hey, don't try to act tough just because Michelle isn't around to call you out. Anyway, I was just calling to check whether she already saw you kissing another woman on TV. Do you realize that you're literally cheating on my sister-in-law? Because of that, I've been thinking about possible ways to punish you. Maybe I can make you kneel for an hour on a wash board or some durian shells? I know you hate durian, so I just bought some a few hours ago,” David teased while chuckling on the phone.
When Ray heard David's plan to torture him, his eyes widened in shock. He was absolutely rattled, so he accidentally shouted in response, ”What? I can't believe you would even think of that! Didn't you say that you would help me out whenever I needed it? How in the world did you go from that to wanting to torture me?” Ray spoke so fiercely, to the point that he needed to take a second to catch his breath. After that, he continued to wail. ”Come on, you know I was just doing my work! I didn't even kiss Xandria seriously!”
Because of Ray's frantic reaction, David almost laughed to death on the phone. When he managed to calm himself down a little bit, he placed the phone on his other ear and replied, ”Relax, I was just kidding. Anyway, I didn't call you just to tease you about kissing another woman. I'm here because your TV show just blew up on the internet. Every single person with a mobile phone has seen your scene. Because of this, I thought it would be the best time to try and talk you out of your acting career. Just do business with me so that Michelle doesn't need to see anything else like that in the future.”
”If I was smart enough to be a businessman, sure. Unfortunately, I don't have the brain power to calculate numbers all day, so I'll just keep my job as an actor. That being said, if you give me enough money to support me and my family for the rest of our lives, then I'll gladly quit my job. What do you think?” Ray teasingly replied with a smirk on his face.
During the phone call, Ray remembered that he still needed to patch things up with his wife. As soon as David was rendered speechless by his outrageous proposition, he hung up the phone, and then looked for his wife in the house.
