Chapter 10

“What?” Jaydon was stunned, raising his voice.

Alita couldn’t be bothered and walked into the room. Right now, all she wanted was to close her eyes to rest.

“Did you hear me? Are you deaf?” Jaydon pulled her arm from behind, a hint of danger in his eyes.

“I said I was out with m

out with my lover. Did you hear that?” Alita squinted, speaking forcefully and loudly. She felt incredibly wronged, and she just didn’t want to put up with everything like she used to.

Jaydon tightened his grip, almost crushing her bones. A storm of anger gathered in his green eyes. “Alita, do you want to die?” He thought, ‘I’ve been waiting for you here, worried about your injury, and you casually say you’re going on a date with your lover. Unbelievable.”

His raging anger made Alita feel oddly satisfied. She even felt that she shouldn’t have pushed away that man just now and should have given Jaydon a taste of his own medicine.

“Why do you have the right to say that? You can find a lover, but I can’t, huh?” she said with a lonely and bitter laugh, eyes filled with sadness.

Jaydon dragged her closer, a fierce look in his eyes. “Just because you’re a good–for–nothing brought back by the Lewis family. Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can compare yourself to me? If it weren’t for your damn father saving my grandpa, with your poor and humble background, you wouldn’t even qualify to be a servant in our house, let alone be my wife.” His voice was low and eerie, and his anger reached its peak. Even his words were extremely harsh.

Alita’s heart snattered into pieces. “You devil, Jaydon.” She raised her hand, crazily aiming for his face. “You can ignore, insult, or even curse me, but why say such things about my dad? You know it’s a painful spot for me,‘ she shouted inwardly.

Jaydon easily blocked her hand and restrained her. “Alita, everything you hold dear, I’ll ruin. Remember, since you joined the Lewis family, you have no right to resist.” With that, he pushed her away.

Alita stumbled and fell to the ground. Tears swirled in her eyes, but her expression was incredibly resolute. ‘Don’t cry, absolutely not… she said to herself.

Jaydon didn’t want to say such malicious words, but she had really provoked him. Seeing her fall, he sort of raised his hand help her up. But after a brief hesitation, he gave up and arrogantly walked out of the room.

Alita sat there, faintly hearing him say in a gentle tone, “Cecilia, I’ll be back to the room soon. Wait for me.”

Finally, she just lay on the ground, letting tears stream down.

Crossing the small garden, Alita took out her keys and opened the door. This really tough week finally came to an

end.

Putting down her luggage, she took off her coat and had a shower. After that, she brewed a cup of coffee for herself. Wearing a loose shirt, she sat on the swing in the courtyard for an entire hour.

For many years, she got used to having coffee by herself, sleeping alone, smiling alone, and daydreaming alone. A solo life that felt free yet lonely.

She sighed gently, looking up at the sun with a smile.

Ten days later, she was driving back home when the phone rang. She pressed the Bluetooth headset to answer,

“Hello, it’s Alita.”

“Mrs. Lewis, Mr. Mike is seriously ill. He wants you to return to the country right now.”

A thunderous sound echoed in Alita’s mind, almost causing her to crash the car onto the median.
