So, he's basically open to anyone, huh? She wasn't anything special then.
Why the heck did he travel all the way to Capital City to tell her all that? He could've just settled for whoever his family set him up with back home.
"Oh," she said with a tartness that could curdle milk, "seeing someone once isn't enough to know them. Maybe you should keep looking?"
Phillip replied, "Doesn't seem like I've got much of a choice in the matter."
What did he mean no choice? If he wasn't into it, would his family really tie him up and deliver him to someone's bed?
He must've liked what he saw.
Tina felt a burning rage starting to spread, her voice dripping with sarcasm: "Got it. The choice your family made for you must be exquisite. No wonder you're smitten." Phillip straightened up a bit, stepping back from her, "What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing at all." Tina feigned nonchalance. "Just asking."
"Done asking?"
"Yeah."
"Sure?" Phillip's tone suggested there was more to it.
"Why, you wTina share the juicy details of your meet-up? Since when are you so keen on oversharing?" Tina was inexplicably irritated, "I'm not interested, don't want to hear it." "You might want to listen to this," Phillip said, "I had dinner with Curtis."
Tina stiffened, surprise flashing in her eyes: "What? Your brother?"
Backtracking through their conversation... all that talk for nothing.
She was baffled, "Your grandma said she had set you up on a date, showed me a photo..."
"You don't know her. She's a pro at messing with people."
Tina's family lacked such a whimsically cunning elder, so she hadn't anticipated this twist.
That sly old lady, playing her role to the hilt. If Tina had spotted even a hint of deceit, she wouldn't have been so utterly convinced.
"So, you're jealous?" There was a faint hint of amusement in Phillip's voice.
Tina turned her face away, "In your dreams."
Phillip grasped her chin, turning her face back to meet his gaze, "Tina, what's eating you?"
Knowing she couldn't dodge the
question, Tina became defensive,

"So what if Tam? You're the one who shows up at my doorstep in the middle of the night, asking me
marry you, and now you're off seeing someone else. Can't I be a little jealous?"
"What's your answer then?" Phillip asked.
Under his intense stare, Tina remained silent.
Phillip couldn't figure her out. She flirted with him, tangled up with him, yet refused to marry him.
He didn't press her, giving her time, but although she could admit to being jealous, she couldn't give him a clear answer.
"What are you thinking?" Phillip lifted her face, "Tell me."
Tina's mind was all over the place.
She and Phillip marrying others, becoming lovers with no strings attached, no responsibilities, breaking up when they got tired each other, with no financial

entanglements. Sounded perfect, right?
Wrong. She well in

maally wished Phillip

marry, but now that the possibility s real, jealousy consumed
her.
It proved her possessiveness over Phillip had nothing to do with a marriage contract.
Whether he was her husband or not, she couldn't stand the thought of him with another woman.
That worrisome feeling hit her again.
"I want to sleep with you." Tina grabbed his collar, pulling him down to kiss him, blocking any further questions.
Phillip didn't respond at first, his gaze soft on her.
Tina didn't like the one-sidedness, ready to pull away as her passion cooled, but then Phillip held her back, pressing her closer.
