Chapter 451 Breaking the Last Illusion

The memory of those glating marks he’d seen before flashed in John’s mind. The thought of James pressing her down when no one was watching, claiming her without restraint, made the fire of jealousy completely devour his reason.

Suddenly, John swung his fist, aiming it squarely at James’s face.

“Let her go! I won’t allow you to touch my girlfriend”

James hadn’t expected John to appear out of nowhere,

A flash of lethal coldness shot through his eyes. Holding Lily tightly, he co punch with ease.

itly, dodging John’s

Lily hadn’t expected this either–she’d been about to grab a handful of James’s abs, only for John to show up and ruin the mood entirely.

Utterly infuriating.

And when she heard John call her his girlfriend, the disgust in her heart spiked.

Taking a deep breath, she snapped, John, are you out of your mind? I broke up with you a long time ago. Stop clinging to me and claiming I’m your girlfriend. Your girlfriend is Elsa, and she’s the one you should be bothering. The two of you should lock yourselves together and stay that way–just don’t come out here making a scene and disgusting everyone else!”

“We didn’t break up.”

Looking at her nestled in James’s arms, trusting and comfortable, John’s eyes turned red, almost bleeding. His already battered heart bled all over again..

He didn’t throw another punch at James. Instead, carrying his pain like a shroud, he stared at Lily with something close to desperation. A breakup takes two people to agree.. I don’t agree to breaking up. Lily. you’re still my girlfriend. I won’t hold the past against you or blame you. Let’s just be good to each other from now on… Don’t let James touch you again. Come back to me, okay?”

“No.”

Lily crushed his delusion without hesitation. “I love James. He’s also the father of the baby I’m carrying. Why on earth would I leave him to go back to a filthy cucumber like you? John, my tastes aren’t that bad, and I don’t have a self–destructive streak.”

“My night with Elsa was just an accident… I won’t touch her again…”

John closed his eyes in pain.

When he opened them again, the anguish there was like a whirlpool from the depths of hell, threatening to pull the soul right out of anyone who met his gaze.

Pressing a trembling hand to his chest, he reached out to her. “Lily, come here. You’ve only known James for a few days. We’ve been together for over four years. I don’t believe a few weeks with him can replace our years of life–and–death moments. When you found out there was a hospital abroad that could for my

He had always believed that they’d been through too much together, bound so tightly by shared hardships that she could never truly forget or let him go.

He couldn’t accept that the memories he held as most precious and sweet were things she now found disgusting.

That she would even say she’d push him into an icy river…

Did she really not want him anymore?

How could she be so cruel, so heartless?

His hand brushed against the recording pen in his pocket, and it felt like finding one last lifeline.

Fumbling, he pulled it out and played a recording.

“Lily will always love John, until death.”

“No matter how much John makes me angry, I’ll never break up with him. As long as he says one sentence -Lily, let’s go home–I’ll go back to him.”

The recorder was filled with her old promises to him. Ten long minutes of her voice, dripping with love. spilled into the night air before finally fading into silence.
