Alright, we’re done. We need to rest. Do you have any money, senior? If you don’t, I can transfer some to you so you can stay in a hotel,”
His hand tightened around my waist, his expression ambiguous, “It’s late at night, and we still have things to do,”
He didn’t finish speaking when he already got punched by Lucas in the face!
Wow, you have such a foul mouth, it’s only natural that you got punched.
Neil didn’t get angry but laughed instead, wiped the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and turned around to punch Lucas in the abdomen,
Lucas, who already had a weak stomach, let out a groan and showed a pained expression.
Two tall men started fighting in the narrow hallway, exchanging punches and kicks.
“That’s enough!” I rushed up and stood in front of Neil, glaring angrily at Lucas.
“Lucas, are you crazy?”
The fierceness that Neil had when he hit someone just now instantly dissipated, as he shook my arm and complained with a sense of grievance, “Helen, look at him hitting me, it hurts so much.”
“Did you protect him?”
Lucas seemed to find it extremely absurd, not even bothering to wipe the blood off his face. Suddenly, he burst out, “Helen, we’ve been together for fucking ten years, and you’re protecting him right in front of me?”
him for a few days!”
“You only knew.
“Yeah, didn’t you also protect Kelly in front of me before?” I chuckled.
“Lucas, stop disturbing my life anymore.”
“We have…finished.”
Lucas stared at me blankly, clearly having just been hit by Neil several times without much
reaction. But after I finished speaking this sentence, his body suddenly bent down, as if all his energy had been drained away.
“Okay.”
After a long time, he forced a smile and said, “Helen, you’re amazing.”
“I walked.”

He staggered down the stairs, and the dim hallway lights flickered shadows on his face as his bangs moved.
I stood still, but my heart ached intensely. “Thank you for today,” I tried to maintain a calm voice, but it still trembled slightly.
“I will give you some medicine.”
I pulled Neil into the living room and used a cotton ball dipped in iodine to disinfect the wound at
the corner of his mouth.
He lowered his head and looked at me, a hint of resentment on his beautiful face due to the wound.
We were very close, and as our breaths intertwined, I could smell the scent of my shower gel
manating from him.
“Does it hurt?” I asked him.
“What I said was true.”
Neil suddenly spoke up, “Helen, consider me.
I looked up and Neil’s gaze did not hide his aggressiveness at all. “I am good–looking, wealthy, and young and capable,” he said.
S
He emphasized the words “capable” with stress.
“Helen, I would never be like your ex–husband, give me a chance.”
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter. This guy always speaks so bluntly, and he’s as self–absorbed as a dirty rascal.
“What are you laughing at?” Neil said, somewhat displeased. “I actually quite like you.‘
I continued to take the medicine and said lightly, “This is not love for you, just a momentary
whim.”
“You should have found a girl of your age to date; we were not compatible.”
Neil stopped talking, his face stretched out.
“Come on, I was 21, not 12. Can’t I tell the difference if it’s just a whim?”
“Helen, I really liked you. Your stupid ex–husband didn’t deserve you.”
I put away the iodine. “Okay.”
‘s a lie to say that one is not moved. Although Neil is narcissistic, he has the capital to be
narcissistic.

As he said, it was hard for anyone not to be moved by such a person.
When
When a 21–year–old young and handsome boy looks straight into your eyes and says “I like you,” no one can resist being moved.
I had just lost once.
I couldn’t bear it again.
The most beautiful and fragile thing in this world is promises.
After remaining silent for a long time, the medicine ran out. Before leaving, Neil said to me, “Helen, I know the previous marriage hurt you, and it’s normal for you to have concerns.”
“But I will prove it to you, if you choose me, I won’t make you sad again.”
