Chapter 122

Just as Neil and I were at impasse, a person appeated at the top of the stairs. It was Simmons. Taking in the scene, Simmons quickly trotted down the stairs and landed a punch on Neil’s face.

“You jerk He gave a shout of anger.

With fruits scattered all over the floor and my hair in disarray, anyone would ve pictured an unpleasant situation.

Neil, however, didn’t fight back He crumpled to the ground, touched his bleeding lip, and then managed to get back up.

He didnt even glance at Simmons, just fixed his eyes on the and said, “He hit fne for you, so I didn’t hit back.”

I gave a bitter laugh, “Why bother?”

“You once told me that the origin of feelings is unknown, but once they form, they run as deep as the ocean. I think I’m starting to understand,” Neil’s hair was a mess, covering one of his eyes, making it hard to gauge his emotions.

What the hell are you doing?” Simmons was also furious. “Save your sweet talk for your girlfriend, will you? Be a man and own up to your choices!”

Only then did Neil look at Simmons, but his gaze was icy, “What are you doing here? Do you live with her?” He pointed at me, his eyes narrowing into a sharp glare

“Yeah, so what? You–Simmons started to respond.

He wanted to rattle Neil, and I knew it. We’re all adults here, who doesn’t understand the feeling of possessiveness?

But I cut him off, “He’s just staying for a few days. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave. You must be busy with your company back home. Your time is precious, don’t waste it here. Goodbye”

Then I grabbed Simmons and went straight up to the third floor and shut the door behind us.

“Rena, haven’t you moved on from him?” Simmons sat down, looking a bit crestfallen.

“It’s not about whether I’ve moved on or not. We’re divorced, there’s no need for this kind of conflict. Whether it’s you or him who gets hurt, I can’t escape the blame “I massaged my throbbing temples.
