“You don’t need them. They’re both deep in thought. It’s just us playing with fireworks,” Lily said.

James had just lifted his foot, about to join them, when he heard Lily’s voice.

The foot he had raised froze midair. In the end, he didn’t go grab a firework.

Unable to join them, he coldly scrolled through Facebook to pass the time–and unexpectedly came across another post from Jackson set to “visible to James only.”

“Couldn’t spend New Year’s with Lily. So bummed. But she said she misses my eight–pack. Gotta keep grinding–your boy’s got strength and skills to spare!”

The photo showed Jackson working out, shirt clinging tightly to his body, his eight–pack abs glistening with sweat–loud, arrogant, and shameless.

Lily missed his eight–pack…

The more James looked at Jackson showing off like a peacock, the tighter his chest felt.

His pale fingertips trembled. For a moment, he actually wanted to just delete Jackson as a friend.

But he still had to have dinner with Jackson, invite him to the Luke family home, attend his wedding with Lily. He’d even have to start calling him brother–in–law someday. Deleting him wasn’t appropriate.

All he could do was slip his phone back into his pocket with a grim face and let his heart drown over and over in that bitter, sour sea…

John never expected Lily would not only call him trash and a rotten cucumber, but say he was disgusting and despicable too.

His face turned darker than an ink pool, and his eyes flashed with murderous fury.

He hated the way Lily bristled with defiance, deliberately trying to get under his skin.

But on a night like New Year’s Eve, when families were together across the country, he couldn’t stand being without her. He forced himself to swallow the anger and dial her number again.

The line was busy.
