Suddenly, something warm pressed against the back of her waist. Her world was flipped on end. Jeremy had slipped behind her and swept her into his arms! “P–Put me down!” Her cheeks warmed as she struggled.
But the harder she struggled, the tighter Jeremy’s hold became. He pressed her to his broad chest and made her stop. She could feel his chest rising and falling. She could even smell his cologne.
For some reason, she felt like crying. How many nights had she spent alone? She’d sprayed his cologne on the bed and fallen asleep while smelling it. Back then, she’d willingly done these things. Now that she looked back, she only felt aggrieved.
“I’m taking you to the hospital. A dislocated arm is no laughing matter.” Jeremy’s face was devoid of emotion, but his eyes darkened.
“Let me go, Jeremy! You couldn’t care less about me when we were married. Now that we’re divorced, you have no right to touch me!” Alyssa was angry and embarrassed. Her voice turned hoarse.
Jeremy ignored her. He clenched his jaw and headed out of the restaurant.
Landon clucked his tongue and ran after them. “She’s right! It’s inappropriate for you to treat her like this now that you two have divorced! I’ll carry you, Ms. Burton!”
“F*** off!”
“F*** off!”
The former couple spoke in unison. It was just that one of them saw red while the other’s face was red. Landon couldn’t help thinking that they were pretty similar.
At the hospital, Alyssa was taken into the clinic. Jeremy and Landon waited in the corridor.
“Damn, Jeremy. How could you have treated her like that? Do you think she’d be able to handle your rough treatment? Or were you trying to rip her arm off?” Landon shook his head.
“How did you know she was working there?” Jeremy looked at him coldly. There was a trace of anger in his eyes.
“I was there for a meal and happened to run into her. Before I arrived, she was doing hard labor at the unloading bay. You should’ve seen how hard she was working–no one would’ve believed she used to be a president’s wife.” He smiled slightly and sounded a little admiring.
Landon continued, “She wasn’t mad or upset, nor did she think too highly of herself. She’s honestly the most special woman I’ve ever met.”
Jeremy clenched his fists and said hoarsely, “Well, you haven’t seen much of the world.”
“It’s better than not knowing you have a good thing,” Landon mocked. He didn’t mind exchanging insults.
Jeremy’s eyes were red. He felt his heart twist.
Landon added, “In all seriousness, I think you and Allison will eventually get back together.”
“That’s impossible,” Jeremy rasped out.
“You obviously still care about her. Why else did you hurry over here? You have no idea how whipped you are. She’s all you can see. Don’t you dare say she means nothing to you.” Landon leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. He shook his head.
Landon continued, “Whatever you’re doing now is poor taste, dude. You abandoned your wife for an ex–lover, yet you’re mad to see her moving on. Don’t tell me you wanna take a leaf out of Belbanks‘ Winston Taylor’s book and have a harem or something.”
“She promised Grandpa to wait until after his birthday to finalize the divorce. She should stick to her word.”
“She was only saying that because she didn’t want to upset him too much. You’re being shameless by making her stick to it.”
“Keep your nose out of my business.” Jeremy suddenly felt suffocated.
“I was going to, but I do quite like Ms. Burton. I’m genuinely interested in her, so I was hoping you’d leave her alone and stop meddling with her life.” Landon looked serious for once in his life as he reiterated what Alyssa had told him.
“Forget about it. You’re not her type.” Jeremy’s expression darkened.
“She’d have to give me a try to see whether I’m her type.”
‘Landon Harper.”
Landon ignored Jeremy’s anger and cocked his head. “If you change your mind about marrying Liana and decide to get back together with her, I’ll back out. I’ll forget about ever being interested in her.
“After all, we’ve been friends for so many years. Heck, you’re my only friend. But if you continue harassing Ms. Burton after marrying Liana, don’t blame me for kicking your ass.
I’ll do it for her sake.”
Jeremy pursed his lips. His expression was stormy.
*Jeremy Walsh!” An angry roar ripped through the corridor. Jeremy had just turned around when he was punched in the face.
Jeremy used to be a cadet of the most elite military academy in the nation. He was enlisted in the army for three years after graduating from the academy. Hence, he was still strong and powerful as ever despite being a businessman.
Silas‘ punch ended up bruising the corner of Jeremy’s mouth. The latter’s body didn’t even budge in the slightest.
“Holy shit! Is he another love rival of mine?” Landon screamed Internally. Naturally, he dared not scream in Silas‘ face.
He suddenly remembered the way Allison had mocked him earlier. Apparently, homewreckers mustn’t be arrogant.
Meanwhile, Silas tried to punch Jeremy again out of fury. At that point, the latter would never give him another chance to strike at him. So Jeremy dodged the punch swiftly.
“Jeremy, didn’t I tell you to stay away from Allison? Are you this shameless?”
Silas panted heavily, his eyes now bloodshot. “I’ll fucking skin you alive if anything happens to her! Hell, I’ll make the Walsh Group pay for this!”
“Mr. Taylor, you’re being dramatic. It’s just a dislocation.” Landon was afraid another fight might break out again, so he quickly intervened.
“Hah! It’s just a dislocation?”
Silas scowled furiously at Landon. “Both of you either toy with women’s feelings or ignore the shit out of them! How could you understand my feelings, huh?
“I love Allison the most! I’ve vowed to protect and love her for the rest of my life! Now get the hell away from Allison, you disgusting plece of shit!”
What Silas said was the truth.
Even if he were to get married to another woman in the future, he would still prioritize Allison before his wife.
Jeremy looked surprised upon hearing Silas‘ straightforward and passionate confession. He would never have the courage to confess his love to a woman in such a way.
Allison became a charming and enchanting woman right after divorcing him. At first, Jonah appeared in her life. Then, she got acquainted with Landon. Those men started developing an Interest in her.
Jeremy found it difficult to describe what he was feeling right now.
It felt like he was an idiot for not knowing such a precious treasure was right next to him.
Once he ditched it, everyone else wanted it for themselves. Naturally, Jeremy was reluctant to let that treasure go.
“Just you wait, Jeremy! I’m definitely suing you!”
Silas pointed at Jeremy angrily. He wanted to order Axel to assassinate that son of a bitch.
“Go ahead, but I’d like to correct you on one thing.”
Jeremy made eye contact with Silas with a stony look on his face. “Allison and I have yet to wrap up the legal divorce procedures. She’s still my wife for now.”
Landon was speechless. He felt that Jeremy was exceptionally talented when it came to insulting people.
Silas, on the other hand, wanted to spit at Jeremy. But he suppressed the urge to do so because he needed to protect his dignity as a well-mannered scion.
