Chapter 116

It was Ryan!

Jack's dark eyes met his directly, one gentle as water, the other cold and stern.

Instantly, I felt a tense atmosphere, as if they were not childhood friends but two people standing completely opposed to each other. Upon careful recollection, I realized that since Jack returned from abroad, both he and Ryan seemed different from their days on campus. Ryan misunderstood my relationship with Jack, but what about Jack? What was his

reason?

However, this was their business after all, and I shouldn't pry too deeply.

Ryan strode over with his long legs, exuding a strong sense of oppression. He glanced at the coat draped over me with mockery. "So intimate.

"Not as much as you guys," I replied coldly without thinking.

Since yesterday's incident, every word he said and everything he did seemed to drain away the little remaining affection between us.

In my mind, countless times I thought, if he had pulled me away at that moment, perhaps I wouldn't have lost the child. But he didn't, even though my hand was within his reach. At that point, not hating him would only seem hypocritical.

Ryan's eyes darkened slightly, controlling his emotions as he spoke, almost condescendingly, "Stop causing a scene. Let's go home."

It seemed like him tolerating my temper was already a great act of kiraness.

Or perhaps he still believed I was the same as before, that with a wave of his hand and a few kind words, I would come running back to him like a little pet.

He was so sure.

So calm and composed.

But I was determined to shatter that. "Ryan, I'm not causing a scene. Between you and me, we're just one divorce certificate away from complete breakup. Just like the difference between you and Jessica is merely a marriage certificate!"

His face turned cold. "I've said it, the relationship between me and her is not what you think, and she poses no threat to you!"
