Savage Love On His Wheelchair novel Chapter 69

“Damn it…”

“Joseph, we just exchanged high fives. You just promised not to bully me.” Said Tina confidently, ignoring Joseph’s serious, handsome face.

“You really know how to fake it! Even I was fooled by you!” Joseph almost said it through his teeth.

“Thank you for saying so. I also think my acting has been getting better lately.” Tina said with a smile.

Joseph stroked his eyebrows. What was wrong with him that he chose such a man for his own abuse?

“I didn’t know you were such a good actor. How about I recommend you to act in a film company?” Joseph grinned.

Tina was slightly shocked. “Are you sure you’re not trying to frame me again?” She asked incredulously.

“How come? It would be a shame for someone with your acting skills not to be in a TV show!”

Tina said as she grabbed Joseph’s hand, “Well, would you please set me up with Nathaniel Meyer?”

Joseph was stunned and asked, “Why?”

He looked at the glint in the girl’s eyes and knew there was no good in it.

“Nathaniel Meyer is my idol! He is handsome, rich and gentle. He is every girl’s dream lover.”

Tina said with a face of infatuation.

“Because Nathaniel Meyer is handsome, rich and gentle, he’s your prince Charming, is that right?” Joseph said as he drove.

“Yes!”

“I’m also handsome, rich and gentle, how come I’m pretentious in your eyes?” Said Joseph indignantly.

Tina glanced at him and said lazily, “Mr. Meyer is never as cold as you are!”

“I think you’ve been fooled by his false face. He’s a veritable iceberg...” Joseph said coldly.

The car stopped suddenly on the way. Tina saw him pull over and said, “Why did you pull over?”

Joseph took the key and started the car again, but it still didn’t work. “The car seems to break down!” he said coldly.

“No…”

“No way! Are we going to get this bad luck? The elevator just broke down, and now we have a car crash. What could be worse?” Tina said with a distressed look on her face.

Joseph took out his cell phone. Before he finished dialing the number, the cell phone ran out of power and turned off automatically.

“Tina, I’m out of battery. Can I borrow yours for a call?” Joseph said with a smile.

“Worse things have happened. My phone was in Rosemary’s bag. I didn’t bring it.” The smile disappeared from Tina’s face.

Joseph looked outside and found that car was just standing on this isolated road. They would probably sleep here tonight.

“Tina, looks like we’ll just have to stay in the car for the night, and then try to get back in the morning when a car passes by.” Joseph said dryly.

“Aha…”

“Tina, do you want to be so scary? Why are you making yourself like a dumpling? Aren’t you afraid of dying of heat?” Joseph closed the car door and lied down beside her.

Seeing her so defensive against him, Joseph felt a tinge of displeasure.

“I’m wondering if Rosemary’s still there waiting for us.” Tina murmured, looking at the roof.

Joseph turned his head and saw her mouth opening and closing, her face worried.

“Tina, do you have a boyfriend?” Joseph looked at Tina and asked.

Tina looked at Joseph, then turned to look at the roof of the car and said, “No, I’m too young to have a boyfriend.”

“Why?”

Tina turned to look at Joseph. It was the first time she had looked at a man so closely, a man she had only known for a day.

“My family is very ordinary. Mom and dad are doing a small business to support the whole family. My brother is only 14 years old this year and has just entered grade three. My parents have used up almost all their savings to send me to this school, so I just want to work, and nothing else.” Tina said lightly.

“You know what? It takes a lot of courage for a kid from an ordinary family like us to go to an elite school. When I first got there, I was bullied almost every day by those girls, until I met Rosemary. She helped me stand out, and I gradually stopped being bullied...”

Joseph listened quietly as Tina told him about her past. He didn’t think she was carrying so much at an age when she should have been happy and headstrong.

Joseph reached out and gently stroked her face. His eyes were full of pity...
