Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1519

Waverly tossed and turned all night, but sleep never came.

She went to the detention facility the next day. She had initially wanted to get some motivation and strength to continue her search, but when she saw Jake, she felt as if someone had punched her a couple times in the face.

Jake was so dispirited that he seemed to have aged a decade even though he had just been detained a few days. His beard was filthy and messy, and the spark in his eyes was gone. It was as though some illness had taken over him. He looked like a dead body breathing.

"Jake?"

Waverly didn't expect the detainment to take such a heavy toll on him. She was feeling depressed enough, but Jake's depression was on another level. She immediately put aside her feelings as she wanted to give him a huge hug and tell him everything was okay, but the staff wouldn't allow it. She could only sit down at one end of the long table while Jake sat at the other.

"Are you alright? Jake, the law is fair and impartial! You didn't hurt anyone, so you're gonna be fine! You have to have faith...in your colleagues! They'll get you out! I won't let anything bad happen to you! I won't!"

Jake seemed like a walking zombie, and it broke Waverly's heart. "We've found important leads on that wife," she subconsciously blurted out, "Don't give up now!"

He used to be like sunshine. He used to be an embodiment of joy and justice! What happened?

Waverly happened. No matter how good or bad the man was, every man who had associated himself with her had a terrible ending.

She was the Black Widow, after all.

Was she destined to continue her life alone? She was born alone, and was she going to die alone, too? A true Black Widow.

People used to say things like that about her, and she used to feel bitter about their harsh comments.

However, looking back at them now, they were right all along, weren't they? She had tried so hard to overcome every challenge and problem on the way, but look at where she ended up still? Life was brutal and disappointing. Perhaps "happily ever after" really did just exist in fairy tales.

Waverly tried comforting Jake for a long time, but Jake acted like he was deaf. He gave no response, which made the room more suffocating every second.

"Jake, there must be a way. You'll be alright, I'll make sure—"

Just as she was running out of things to say, a deep and husky voice suddenly said, "There's no need..."

He spoke so gently, so softly, but his three words crushed Waverly. She raised her gaze and met his eyes. She was visibly stunned as she could not believe her
