Hayden carried Courtney all the way house. On the way, Courtney called out Austin’s name seventeen times. Hayden was really upset, I (couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t just leave her behind.
Jerk,” Courtney mumbled under her breath as she went upstairs.⠀
Hayden thought Courtney was cursing Austin, but then she added, “Hayden”
Hayden took a deep breath. He had finally heard Courtney call his name, but she was calling him a jerk. Carrying Courtney upstairs, he stepped out of the stairwell and saw Austin standing at her door. Hayden’s face darkened instantly.
Austin, clearly flustered, quickly moved forward and looked at Courtney. “Courtney, Clearly, he knew the Lewis family might retaliate today. Seeing Courtney was okay, he finally snapped back to reality and frowned at Hayden. ‘Give her to me,
Hayden’s face fell, just about to speak.
“She’s my wife now, got it!” Austin asserted, taking his role as her husband.
Courtney groggily woke up. Even though she wasn’t good with alcohol, drinking three beers shouldn’t make her forget everything like a clueless person. She climbed off Hayden’s bark and let out a tipsy hiccup.
Austin’s eyebrows shot up instantly. “You let her drink? She has a bad stomach and can’t handle alcohol!”
Smelling the spicy barbecue aroma coming from Courtney, Austin grew angrier. “She’s had chronic gastritis since childhood. At home, we never let her eat spary food What did you take her to eat?”
Hayden was momentarily taken aback. He really didn’t know Courtney had stomach problems because she never mentioned it
In South Weidan, Courtney often felt sick and vomited, but he thought it was simply because she wasn’t accustomed to the food there.
Suddenly, Courtney pushed Austin away and squatted to the side, retching.
Austin glared at Hayden angrily. “Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be with her?
Out of nowhere, Courtney raised her hand and slapped Austin across the face. After living some drinks, her temper rose.
Austin was stunned for a nent, staring at Courtney

Austin’s eyes turned red in, as he lowered his head and clenched his fists. “Courtney, I’ll never leave you. He reached out wanting to Country:

Hayden wood aside, his hangers numb. He realized that no matter what, he couldn’t seem to enter Courtney’s heart. Austin, despite all the mistakes, still held the most important place in Courtney’s heart
“Courtney,” Austin spoke, his words choked with emotion. “Let’s not get divorced. I won’t leave you. Please, trust me?
Courtney pushed Austin away with all her strength, her voice choked with emotion “It’s me I’m the one who doesnt want you anymore.”
Austin stood there frozen, staring blankly at Courtney,

Courtney leaned against the wall to support herself, her words halting. “Nowadays, I really like spicy food and drinking. She was no longer the Courtney she used to be.
“Courtney.” Austin anxiously stood up, quickly changing the subject. “You’ve been drinking, but now you’re able to talk.”
Courtney shook off Austin’s hand and took an unsteady step back.
Hayden instinctively stepped forward, standing behind her.
Courtney didn’t fall but instead ended up leaning against Hayden’s chest. She looked up at Hayden. The dim light on the rooftop was glaring to her
eyes.
“Please leave.” Austin said, annoyed by Hayden’s presence. “Courtney will never fall for someone like you,” Austin was actually starting to panic. He feared that Courtney might really fall for someone who was unstable, a complete wild card.
Courtney looked at Austin and said with conviction, “You’re not as good as him in any way.”
