MR BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: CHASING HIS IRRESISTIBLE WIFE novel Chapter 36

(ARIELLE'S POV)

I hurried outside, running across the pavement as I rushed to catch up with Jared and Sofia. They were already seated in the cat, Jared's eyes fixed on the road ahead as he started the engine. I opened the door and slid into the backseat, trying to catch my breath.

The car was silent and thick with tension as Jared pulled out of the parking lot. Sofia stared out the window, her expression unreadable.

Jared on the other hand had an angry look, his grip on the steering wheel a tight. He drove so roughly that I feared for our lives.

"Jared, can you slow down a bit? You're gonna get us killed at this pace," I yelled, when he almost bumped into a truck.

"Don't tell me what to do," he hissed, his jaw clenching.

I was taken aback by his words and the rudeness they conveyed, but I was not going to back down if I wanted to get home in one piece.

"If you don't care about your life or mine, then you should care about Sofia's. She's pregnant, remember?" That seemed to do the trick as his grip on the wheel loosened and he slowed down.

The remaining ride home was in silent as everyone seemed lost in their thoughts. For me, I couldn't wait to get home and confront Jared about tonight. I needed answers, and I hope I get them.

The moment we arrived home, and stepped into the foyer, I turned to Jared. "What was that display at the bar? Denzel was right, wasn't he? You didn't fight because you were looking out for me, but because you two have a history in the past?"

Jared ignored me and kept moving.

"Tell me, Jared," I pressed on. "What happened between you and Denzel? What did he mean by you've not changed from who you were in highschool? Who were you, Jared?"

Jared still gave no response, but Sofia did. She turned to face me, her eyes flashing with anger and animosity. "Arielle, stop. This isn't the time. Can't you see he's upset?"

"Stay out if this, I'm talking to my husband!" I sneered at her.
