#Chapter21
---Flirting Negotiating 101-01
/"I don’t think your mother likes me./"
Nyx looked down at the man whose head rested on her lap. She played with the black curls on top of his head, touching his forehead every now and then.
/"It’s true. She doesn’t like you. After you left yesterday, she told me to break up with you./"
James’s jolted up at Nyx’s words, his brows furrowed in worry. /"But I didn’t do anything wrong. Why…/"
Nyx pulled James back on her lap. /"You didn’t do anything wrong, my love. It’s just that my mother has always thought she would find me a suitable man to marry. And you’re not him./"
/"I’m not suitable for you?/" James pouted.
/"Of course, you are. I wouldn’t love you if you weren’t. My mom’s ‘suitable’ means being filthy rich and owning a company or something. My ‘suitable’ is a clumsy detective-wanna-be that names his flowers./"
