At first, it bothered me, but I no longer cared.
Eventually, he would leave on his ownL
Honestly, I didn’t understand why he had suddenly changed so much. Previously, I was always revolving around him, and he treated me coldly as if 1 didn’t exist.
Now, the roles were completely reversed
Tom lowered his gaze and took a sip of tea. “Do you

If I kept accepting his help, how long would it take me to repay him?
Besides, I already owed Tom too many favors. If I
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Gavin’s voice from the outside, “Grace, I know you’re in there. Open the door.”
The knocking sounded incessantly.
I took a deep breath, starting to feel overwhelmed by the noise.
But everything here had just been tidied up, and moving again would be too much trouble…
As I was lost in these thoughts, Tom, who had been sitting across from me, suddenly stood up, walked a few steps to the door, and opened it with a quick
motion
“T–Tom? What are you doing here?” Gavin’s expression darkened the moment he saw Tom instead of me
Tom leaned casually against the doorframe, nonchalantly replying, “I should be asking you that.”
As he spoke, he sized Gavin up, his gaze finally resting on the large bag Gavin was holding. “What’s that you’re carrying?”
“You don’t need to know!” Gavin snapped coldly, then turned his attention to me “Grace, I just went to buy some medicine for you. You have to treat the scratch on your hand immediately, or it could get infected.”

There was a load thud as Gavin’s back slammed into the opposite wall,
I was startled by h
his actions and rushed forward, grabbing his arm in case they started fighting. “Tom…”
His gaze landed on my hand, and he let g go of Gavin’s collar, shouting, “Get lost!”
As Gavin’s collar loosened, he staggered against the wall, breathing heavily. He glared at Tom, his expression almost twisted with rage, like a husband who had caught his wife cheating

stay away! Do you not understand the basic rule that you don’t mess with your friend’s wife?”
Tom’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile on his lips. “If I were the one she liked back then, you wouldn’t even exist.”
Gavin gritted his teeth “Wow! So, you’ve finally admitted that you’ve been harboring ulterior motives toward her all along!TM
Tom’s black eyes were like an abyss, but his face remained calm. “So what?”
“I advise you to give up on this idea! I will never divorce Grace!”
“That’s not up to you!”
