“Ouch” Bryant cried softly in pain.

It was the same trick he pulled last t

Pointing at his right hand. I said. “You just used that hand to pull me along, and you weren’t gentle about it.”

“It’s only after pulling you that it started hurting, he replied smoothly, going with the flow.

I shoved a piece of apple into his mouth. Fine, eat up. Have some more.”

Later, Kevin brought in a stack of documents. All urgent business from the corporation, the stuff that needed attention as long as Bryant was still breathing.

His night hand was injured, making frequent use impossible, so I flipped through the documents beside him, leaving him to sign them. Momentantly, it felt like we were back to the old respectful days.

“Jane, there’s something off about this ROI… As Bryant leaned over, I bent forward to hand him a new document.

His soft lips unexpectedly met my cheek. We both froze. Even though we had our moments of closeness before, things were different.

A spark of desire lit up in Bryant’s eyes, and he instantly pulled me closer, his hand moving to seal my lips with his

Instinctively, I tried to dodge, but someone beat me to it! There was a thud sounded at the door. Something had hit the floor.

The next second, Teresa’s voice rang. “Ms. Myers, please don’t overthink this!”

I jumped up, only to see Teresa and Dorothy standing at the doorway, and wondered when they had gotten so close.

Dorothy’s normally delicate face was flushed with anger, making her look like a scorned wife who caught her husband cheating.

And Teresa was even more comical, striding over to push me aside, accusing. “Jane, what are you doing? That is no way for an ex–wife to behave!”

Caught off guard by her strength, I stumbled and hit the corner of the bedside table

Before I could straighten up, Dorothy glared at Bryant, fuming, “Bryant, this is too much! I came here with good intentions only to find this disgusting scene.”

Bryant gave her a cold look, his voice icy. “Who asked you to come?”

“It was me. I asked Ms. Myers to come.” Playing peacemaker, Teresa said in a motherly tone, “Bry, Ms. Myers heard about your accident and specifically asked me which hospital you were in. She insisted on visiting you. Where else would you find such a caring girl?”

Her words made it clear. She had shifted her support to Dorothy since Margaret was out of the picture.

“Teresa,” Bryant looked at her, indifferent and puzzled. “First Margaret, and now Dorothy. Why do you think you have a say in my marriage?”

His words took everyone by surprise, not just Teresa.

“Bry…” Teresa was speechless, tears streaming down her face in frustration. “What’s wrong with you? Did Jane say something to you again? I’ve been nothing but honest with you. Do you not realize that? I’m meddling in your marriage because Jane is not the right match for you…

“Whether she’s the right match is my decision to make.” Bryant’s statement was definitive. Seeing Teresa’s breakdown, he sighed, “Teresa, you’re not getting younger. You shouldn’t stress yourself too much.”

The subtext was clear that Bryant wanted Teresa to stay out of it.

Dorothy’s eyes blazed with anger, suddenly lashing out, “Jane, you realize all these injuries on Bryant are because of you, right? Are you sure you want to keep dragging him down? Are you sure you want to ruin him and the Ferguson Group?”
