Chapter 45
"If it weren't for my stubbornness back then, you wouldn't have had to endure this humiliation."
Jane rolled her eyes after hearing those words. If I hadn't pulled her away, she would have stormed back to argue.
It was raining and the wind was strong. This caused the temperature to drop significantly. It was so cold that it could make anyone hunch their shoulders.
Once inside the car, Jane fumed, "Why did you pull me away? Didn't you hear what she said? Damn it, what a stupid fool. Where was she during human evolution?"
"I heard."
I started the car and started driving. "Ryan is unpredictable. I just want to leave before he changes his mind."
There was no need to be angry with Jessica.
"Aren't you angry?" she asked.
"Not really."
It was more accurate to say I was used to it.
At this hour, nightlife in Jelaston was just beginning. The streets were busy and congested with people.
It was stop-and-go all the way.
Suddenly, Jane smiled slyly and leaned over, blinking at me. "Did it feel good?"
"What do you mean?"
"Seeing her car all smashed up like that. Did it feel good?"
I was rendered speechless.
After thinking about it, I couldn't deny my true thoughts. "It felt good."
When Jessica parked her identical car next to mine, I was annoyed.
It was more than just a car.

It was like she was asserting dominance.
When I saw that wreck parked in front of the police station, I worried about Jane and didn't have time to feel happy. But now, looking back, I felt relieved. "That's good." Jane nodded satisfactorily.
I chuckled. "But you can't be impulsive like that again."
"I know, I know."
"I mean it."
"I know. I've always been a good girl."
I didn't know what to say anymore.
I couldn't do anything about her. When I dropped Jane off outside her house, I said softly, "Jane, you really can't be impulsive again. Ryan let you go today, but what if he decides to stand on Jessica's side?"
"Do you take me for a fool?" Jane smirked. "Isn't there still Tom?"
I had forgotten about her and Tom! It seemed that she had a plan all along.
I was insignificant to Ryan, but Tom had grown up with him from childhood.
Ryan couldn't just ignore Tom completely.
"Alright, consider my worries pointless." I chuckled lightly.
"Keep calm and take care of yourself."
She pointed to my belly and raised her chin slightly. "I won't let myself go to jail. Otherwise, I wouldn't be there to protect you if you and your baby were being bullied." With that, she changed the subject, "But why did Ryan speak up for you today?"
I fell silent for a moment. "I don't know."
"Could it be that he has learned to cherish something after he has lost it? Has he suddenly realized that he likes you?" Jane threw out a cheeky question. "How is that possible?" I smiled bitterly and said without hesitation, "He wouldn't like me."

"If he didn't like you, how did you get pregnant?"
Jane was very good at making perverted jokes. It took me a while to react. I glared at her and kicked her out of the car. "Get lost!"
On the way back to the Lake Garden, I recalled her question several times.
I said no to myself again and again.
Ryan wouldn't like me.
He didn't even like me after spending more than three years together. It would be even more unlikely now that we were separated. However, this idea broke out again when I stepped out of the elevator and saw the figure standing at the door of my home again.
"Why are you here?" I asked before I realized that there was also a black suitcase next to the man.
In the bright light, Ryan was tall, with a somewhat relaxed look and a low, gentle voice.
"I came to find you."
I lifted my eyes to meet his. "Why did you bring your suitcase?"
"Moving house while coming here to look for you," he replied.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
