Chapter 452 Severing the Last Thread

John carefully, almost reverently, slipped the recorder back into his pocket and rasped, “Lily, let’s go

home..”

She thought he was hopeless beyond saving.

Any couple caught in the haze of love could make lofty vows. But who, when the relationship had crumbled to dust, still honored those promises?

The truth was, such declarations were nothing more than lies spun under the influence of hormones.

“Lily, let’s go home.”

When she showed no intention of taking his hand, no move to walk back w paler.

He stepped forward, intending to grab her hand and simply take her with him.

But before he could touch her, James’s foot slammed hard into his chest.

“Get lost! Stay away from Lily!”

Already unsteady, John went down hard, pain tearing through him.

Once upon a time, Lily would have been heartbroken to see him like this.

Even a small cut on his hand had been enough to make her eyes turn red with worry.

Now, he searched her gaze for a flicker of that concert.

ht’s face went even

But no matter how desperately he looked, he found nothing–only the deep, unmasked loathing that eur him to the bone.

She didn’t go back with him.

Instead, he heard her say to James, “Where were we? Oh right–kissing. Then some lunatic showed up out. of nowhere. Such bad luck”

James, I don’t want to see this nutcase. Let’s go home.”

James cast him a cold, warning glance, then effortlessly scooped her up into his arms. “Alright. Let’s go home

She’d called him bad luck. Called him a nutcase…

The pain in his chest made it almost impossible to breathe.

Even so, watching James carry her away, he forced the words out, hoarse and desperate. “Lily, don’t go back with him. I know–you just don’t want me to see Elsa anymore. I promise you! I’ll never see her again. Don’t use James to spite me. Come back to me, okay?”

She hadn’t expected him to say he’d give Elsa up.

Chapter 452 Severing the Last Thread

Once, she’d dreamed of him caring for her that much–enough to stay away from Elsa completely.

But she had long since broken free from the prison of that obsession.

Whether he saw Elsa or played out some blissful romance with her.. it no longer mattered at all.

Johm..

Her voice made a faint light flare again in his deadened eyes

Every fight they’d had in the past had been because of Elsa.

66

If she was calling his name now, it must mean that his promise to cut ties to give him another chance.

1–that she was willing

She still loved him.

But the next second, that fragile light shattered completely, plunging him into the depths of hell

Whether you see Elsa or not–what the hell does that have to do with me? I don’t even want a filthy. cucumber like you anymore. Why would I care who you get tangled up with? I just want you to stop bothering me. I’m really happy with James. When you show up. I just feel disgusted. Have some dignity, and stop making yourself my problem.

“Lily”

The night wind seemed to blow the last trace of color from his lips.

He couldn’t accept that she truly didn’t care about him anymore.

Couldn’t accept that she loved another man.

And after the pain peaked, his voice twisted into something almost deranged as he roared, James doesn’t love you! If he cared even a little, he never would have forced you to divorce him. He’s only being nice now because you’re pregnant with his child. You’re nothing but a tool to him–just someone to carry that baby-

“Who told you James forced me to divorce him?”

Her gaze cut into him with open scorn. “We divorced because of a misunderstanding. Now that it’s cleared up, of course we’re together again. As for James not loving me–what, are you a mindreader? John, don’t use your filthy little thoughts to measure him. He’s nothing like you–selfish, vile. He’s so far above you, you’re not even worthy to carry his shoes.

She’d said it he wasn’t even worn to carry James’s shoes.

John’s face was ashen, his soul hollowed out.

Before he could drag himself out of that crushing despair, James’s cool voice cut in.

“John, I love Lily. My confession and everything I do for her have nothing to do with her pregnancy. I love her simply because she’s Lily. Now stay away from her. Your disgusting face might ruin the baby’s mood.”

His car was parked nearby.

Without sparing John another glance, James carried her to it and drove away.
