“It turns out no one was going to assault Chloe at all; it was all her own doing!”
Noah desperately added, “I swear, from now on, I’ll only focus on you! I’ll never be fooled by another woman again!”
Hearing their words, I couldn’t help but laugh.
If it was so easy to figure out, then why did they hurt me so deeply in my last life, based on Chloe’s few words?
I looked at them expressionlessly, then wiggled the ring on my finger. “Too late.”
With that, I linked my arm through Julian’s. “Let’s go. Time to head home.”
The car slowly pulled away. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Liam, Brandon, and Noah still kneeling at the hotel
