pregnant, too. I was scared of getting hurt. I was terrified! Are you satisfied with that answer now?”
Bryant called out to me. “Jane...”

It was the first time I had seen such a bewildered look on his face. He stretched out his hand, trying to grasp mine.
But before he could, another pair of hands unexpectedly interv ned!
Mark had returned, his demeanor calm yet sharp. “You’re here 1 settle scores for Margaret, right? Blame me for it. Leave Jane
out of this.”
Bryant instantly reverted to his usual cold demeanor, scoffing. “We’ll settle our another day. No need to rush your downfall.”

I struggled against his grip, but his long fingers held my shoulder
firmly.
Mark stepped forward, blocking our path, his gaze icy. “Didn’t you hear what Jane said? Or do you always completely disregard
her wishes?”
Bryant’s lips curved into a chilling smile. “What goes on between my wife and me ain’t.

“Wife? You don’t deserve to call her that. Are you even a decent husband?” It was the first time Mark didn’t hold back his words.
Bryant glared at him, his voice cold yet furious, “It is not your pl ce to speak. Move!”
“What about me?” I gathered my strength and looked at him, “Can I say it, Bryant?”

“I don’t want to forgive you this time, and I don’t choose you anymore. After all, you’ve given up on me so many times. It’s only
