When Love Breaks by Jack

Gregory’s tall frame stiffened for a moment, then relaxed as a laugh escaped him. The sound of running water from the faucet filled the air as he washed the soap off his hands, dried them, and turned around to pull me into his embrace.

Lowering his head to look at me, his eyes shimmered as he pinched my cheek gently, “Jane, it’s my own lack of strength that makes me uneasy. It has nothing to do with what you do or don’t do.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck, earnestly replying, “You’re already doing so much!”

“Jane…”

His thumb softly caressed my cheek, a flicker of guilt visible in his eyes. “If I had been strong enough, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped as a child. And two years ago, I wouldn’t have let Hanson confront you, forcing you back to Bryant.”

“How old were you when I was kidnapped?”

I looked up at him, trying to alleviate his guilt, “And Hanson… in the end, none of this is your fault.”

His fingers rested lightly on the corner of my eye, his voice deepening, “But if I were strong enough, none of this would’ve happened.”

That’s just human nature.

No one dares to bully the strong.

Just like the kidnapping in our childhood, if Gregory and I could have made them pay a severe price, Susan wouldn’t have dared to entertain the thought.

And two years ago, Mr. Ford only dared to threaten me because Gregory still needed the support of the Ford family.
