My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2196

His chest heaved with anger.

He hissed, “Carlow, are you saying you want to be a kept man? Do you even consider yourself a man?”

Barlow’s smile didn’t waver.

“That’s none of your business.

Maybe Karina prefers me this way.

”

“You…”

Jack’s fury was palpable, and he started coughing violently.

At that moment, Karina entered the room, having just visited the doctor and confirmed that Jack was fine.

Seeing Jack’s face turn red from coughing, she frowned and quickly walked over to pour him a glass of water.

“What’s wrong? Here, drink some water.

”

As she was about to hand the cup to Jack, Barlow intercepted it.

“Let me do it,” he said calmly.

Then he approached Jack with the cup of water.

“Jack, take care of yourself, Don’t make Karina worry.

”

Jack’s eyes flashed with anger.

He wanted nothing more than to splash the water all over Barlow’s smug face.

But with Karina watching, he knew he couldn’t lose his temper.

He forced a smile, suppressed his anger, and took a sip, flashing a smile at Karina.

“Thank you for the water, Karina,” Jack said, trying to keep his voice steady.

Karina looked at him, then at Barlow, her eyes full of curiosity.

She couldn’t figure out what had happened between the two men to make Jack so angry.

Barlow raised an eyebrow and smiled, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

He thought to himself, “Jack, you’re too inexperienced to compete with me for a woman.

”

After Jack finished his drink, Karina spoke gently.

“Jack, I talked to the doctor.

He said you’re fine.

You can stay here tonight and leave the hospital tomorrow to continue filming.

”

Jack put the cup down, a sad expression clouding his face.

“Karina, why don’t you visit me on set anymore?”

“You don’t need me watching over you.

You’re a great actor now,”
