him go on a business trip!
I had just come downstairs when I saw my boss’s car waiting outside.
As I was about to walk over, Jack suddenly appeared in front of me.
I looked at his scruffy beard, reeking of alcohol, clothes all wrinkled.
What happened to him?
Why did he look so dejected? Was this his new style?
But what did it have to do with me?
I glanced at him and tried to walk around him.
But he moved to block my path, not letting me pass.
I was getting a bit impatient.
Lately he had been following me from near and far. I don’t know how he found out where I lived.
It was really annoying.
Since he was blocking me, I could only look up at him to see what other tricks he was going to pull.

Since he was blocking me, I could only look up at him to see what other tricks he was going to pull.
When Jack saw that I had finally noticed him, his face lit up with joy.
“Lily, I’ve broken things off with her. She’s not a good person, she was deceiving me the whole time. I’ll never contact her again. Can we get back together?” His eyes seemed to be pleading.
I hadn’t even reacted when Jack suddenly moved closer.
He now looked like a homeless person, his expression tense, as if backed into a corner. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
I got a bit scared and started backing away step by step.
In the distance, Lucas saw their overlapping silhouettes. His eyes darkened and his fingers unconsciously fidgeted as a oppressive aura emanated from him.
“Lily, please stop being angry. She really means nothing to me now.” As he spoke, he reached out to grab me.
I was cornered against the wall with nowhere to escape.
Just as I was about to use all my strength to push him away-
My boss grabbed Jack’s arm and yanked him back forcefully, stepping in front of me protectively. His whole body radiated cold fury as he growled, “What do you think you’re doing to my wife?”
“Your wife?” Jack shouted. “Says who, just you? Lily is mine, Lily is mine!”
He yelled louder and louder, becoming hysterical.
As he spoke, he tried to grab me from around Lucas, his nails leaving red marks on my fair arm.
Because my skin was so pale and delicate, the red marks looked especially gruesome.
Lucas turned to look and his demeanor suddenly changed. He instantly kicked Jack, sending him flying three meters.
“Get lost!”
