Ah, never mind! My bet paid off this time, so it's a good thing that I escaped this narrow call. I'll just think of another solution if such a situation comes up again. If there's really no other choice, I'm willing to sacrifice my life.

Outside, Sean went downstairs while cradling his arm. In the living room, Jacqueline was scrolling through her cell phone. When she heard the sounds of footsteps, the corners of her mouth curled up in contempt. “Why did you come down so quickly? It hasn't even been half an hour. It seems that your stamina is lacking!”

Sean threw her a chilly look. “Zip it! Otherwise, I'm going to sew your mouth shut!”

Pursing his lips, Sean said nothing but walked over to the other side of the sofa and plopped down.

Jacqueline shot to her feet. “Sean, you were actually injured by her? How useless! You're a man, yet you aren't even a woman's match?”

His eyes narrowing, Sean promptly snapped his head up and stared at her as though her death was imminent.
