t? It’s so hard to get the tickets.
Zack thought. “It must be karma. Back when Cloris was a student, she was head over heels for Hayden, confessing to him in front of the entire school, only to be rejected.
“Hayden was really cold–hearted back then. Even when Cloris was about to jump off a building, he never looked back. But now, he’s running around like a puppy behind Courtney.”
“Well, I heard that the jump left her with some lasting effects, making it impossible for her to have kids, Zach whispered.
Hayden frowned, clearly not wanting to hear more about it. Feeling annoyed, he gave Zach a kick. “Get lost if you have nothing to do here”
“Alright, I was wrong, okay?” Zach regretted it, realizing he had touched a nerve,
Because of Clark Jumping incident, Warren nearly beat Hayden to death, eventually forcing

to agree to date Cloris for three months
During those three months, Hayden never showed Cloris a kind face. As soon as the three months were up. Hayden took off in a flash, escaping to the military, terrified that Cloris would keep clinging to l
to him.
“Click. Suddenly, the sound of a door closing echoed in the hallway.
Hayden jumped up suddenly and dashed to the door, hoping it meant Austin had left. But when he opened the door, he frowned in disappointment.
Austin had not left yet, it was just the neighbor from the west side retuming from work.
Hayden glared resentfully at Courtney’s door, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. He felt Co

He thought anyour who could make a cold–hearted man like Hayden settle down and stay committed must be someone special.
Courtney sat on the couch in her house, w
r, with Austin next to her. Austin tried to hug her, but Courtney refused.
“Courtney, do you remember the first time we met?” Austin smiled at her. “It was a sunny day, and as you walked past me with your suitcase, you got pushed into the river”
Remembering the scene, Courtney still felt a mix of embarrassment and amusement. That day, Courtney was in a mess, struggling for a long time to get out of the river uril Austin crouched in front of her, reaching out his hand.
For someone like Courtney, who had always been a well–behaved girl, Austin’s appearance was like a ray of light, lighting up her world.
“I took you back to the dorm and even lent you my clothes” Austin said with a smile.
Those were the good old days. Everything at that time was pure and simple, without any distractions, But unfortunately, all

“Courtney; my love for you is unmatched and irreplaceable. That guy Hayden doesn’t understand what we have gone through, Austin scoffed, looking down on Hayden, viewing him as nothing more than a stain on society. People like him belong to the jail. Just sharing the same air with Tum is an insult to you
Courtney furrowed her brows and looked at Austin. Hayden is not that kind of person. She was writing on the whiteboard, feeling inexplicably
She thought, “Everyone misunderstands Hayden. As an undercover, he’s under immense pressure, yet can’t justify himself.”
[He’s just | Courtney wrote, pausing for a moment before continuing: (Everyone has a different mission and way of living. There’s no need to pur others down it won’t make you any better]
“Courtney, you’re still speaking for him? He’s a terrorist” Austin got angry as soon as he saw Courtney siding with Hayden.
His frustration was mixed with anger, jealousy, and unwillingness. “You’re my wife. We barely had a honeymoon after getting married before you rushed off to South Weidan, What right does he have…
Austin clenched his fists and finally blurted out the hurtful words, “What right does he have to touch you?”
Courtney furrowed her brow and looked at Austin intently. Suddenly, she felt meaningless to explain.
Austin continued. “I’ve never dared to touch you.

She wiped the words off the whiteboard and asked the question she most wanted to: [Do you think your partner’s chastity is more important or her life!
