Secretly Married to a Wealthy Husband - Chapter 444: Even if it’s a pet, it’s still a national treasure!

She knew that the last thing he wanted was for her to be with Adrian Nash, yet she seemed to do this deliberately, always contradicting him!

Upon hearing this, Emily Walker was stunned, the anger in her eyes instantly turned into pain. She stared straight at him. “Man? What sort of man are you?”

Her sudden change of tone startled Baron Stuart. He noticed the pain in her eyes.

“Does a real man watch his woman die? Ultimately, I’m just a pet you’ve bred, and if you’re not pleased, you can control my life with a leash at any time!” She stared at him, her eyes gradually reddening from pain.

A pet?

Baron Stuart was stunned by her words.

How could she ever be a pet to him? Even if she were a pet, she would be the only treasure in this world!

Each time danger approached her, his heart seemed to suffocate, undergoing severe torment.

Looking at the pain in her eyes, Baron Stuart’s expression softened a bit.

He knew she was still hurt by his cold, heartless treatment on the rooftop. Many times he wanted to explain, but he couldn’t find the words.

What should he say? That he acted that way just to pretend to Milton Modesto that he didn’t care about her?

If he told her this, would she be willing to believe?

If she chose to believe his cold and heartless behavior, then any explanations could be seen as mere excuses in her eyes.

However, he didn’t know that Emily was waiting for his explanation.

His refusal to explain had, in Emily’s view, become an admission of guilt.

And this admission, in the end, had become a fact.

“Think what you want, whether you’re a pet or a woman. If you dare to see Adrian Nash again, I will definitely tie you up.”

He calmly looked at her without a ripple in his eyes.

His words struck Emily’s heart like a severe stab, she couldn’t defeat this man, she simply couldn’t!

She decided to remain silent, turned around and laid down, her back facing him, refusing to look at him again.

However, in the moment of turning around, a cold tear slid down Emily’s face, so cold that it could pierce her cheeks.

Standing in place, Baron Stuart, who was looking at the woman on the hospital bed, also felt extremely agitated.

Whenever Emily’s dealings with Adrian Nash were mentioned, he couldn’t control his emotions!

The ringtone of his cell phone rang. He took out his phone somewhat impatiently, sounding cold on the phone.

“Young Master, it’s time to depart,” came the respectful voice of Clayton Howard on the phone.

This afternoon, he had to attend an important banquet in City C, he couldn’t let go of the woman in front of him, so he decided to visit her before leaving. But due to Adrian Nash, they were stuck in this situation.

“I know.” Baron Stuart responded dryly, and then hung up the phone, staring at the woman on the hospital bed one more time.

The thought of Adrian Nash possibly approaching his woman while he was away for the next two days made Baron Stuart feel a strong urge not to go to City C!

Still, attending the banquet is something he must do.

After some reflection, Baron Stuart walked over, picked up the woman on the bed, and left the hospital room.

Being held by him again, Emily was somewhat taken aback. At this moment, she was sick of his touch and didn’t want to be this close to him!

“What are you going to do now!?” Emily struggled as she attempted to break free from his grasp.
