Lovells POVE At least a fool would never lie to me , never cheat on me .
It had been a long time since I last thought about Horace.N That was , until today , more than two weeks later , when somehow he managed to get hold of my new number .
And then the messages started .
[Lovell , where are you ? Let me pick you up , okay ? Just give me a chance to explain , face to face .
] } [ I was wrong .
I know I was wrong .
Please answer my call .
] [ Your grandfather said youre marrying that idiot from the Stokes .
Why ?! I thought you loved me .
Why would you marry someone else ? ] } [ Please , Lovell, just say something .
Im begging you .
] Message after message kept coming .
Annoyed , I blocked his number without hesitation .
thought that would be the end of it .
But the next morning , when I came back from my morning run , I saw a familiar figure standing outside Clements villa .

The moment he saw me , Horace rushed over like hed been waiting forever .
Lovell , Im here to take you home .
For a moment , I was stunned .
He looked nothing like the confident man I used to know .
His normally styled hair was a mess , hanging over his forehead .
His eyes were sunken , and his jaw was covered in stubble .
All the arrogance he once carried was gone .
I didnt say a word .
Instead , I turned to go back inside , but he grabbed my wrist .
Please , Loveli , just talk to me .
Say something , he begged .
I stopped walking and finally said , Horace , I have nothing left to say to you .
His face lit up just from hearing my voice .
***** ミ Then let me speak .
Lovell , I already sent Jaylee and the kid away .
I know I messed up .

I take full responsibility .
Just give me another chance .
We can go back to the way things were .
I came here today to bring you home .
But I yanked my hand out of his grip and took a step back .
Bring me home ? Back to what , exactly ? To watch you crawl into bed with Jaylee again ? His shoulders stiffened , then scrambled to defend himself .
No , Lovell , thats not what I meant .
That night , it was a mistake .
I lost control , and I swear itll never happen again .
Please , forgive me .
As for Jaylee , Ive made everything clear to her .
I was immature .
us , he even explained .
But I only let out a bitter laugh .
hurt you .
I know that now .

But I swear , there was nothing else between Do you think Im stupid , Horace ? The night before Jaylee came to the house , I heard everything you said to your subordinate in the study .
Zach is your child , That so called three year mission you and I both know what it really was .
And even now, youre still trying to lie to me ? I scoffed .
Horace went pale .
His lips moved , but no words came out .
Just then , I felt a gentle tug on my wrist .
Someone pulled me behind them protectively .
Clement stood between us , facing Horace head on .
Mr.
Mitchell , he said coolly , what business do you have with my fiancée ? The moment I saw Clement step in front of me , something in my chest cracked .
My eyes burned with tears I hadnt expected.§ stood in front of me like this .
For three years, I had faced everything alone every terrifying night , every lonely moment .
It had been a long , long time since anyone had Horace was visibly rattled .
His voice rose in anger .
Clement ? Youre supposed to be a fool! A complete idiot ! thats it , isnt it , Lovell ? he snapped , turning back to me .
Thats why you wont forgive me !
