’Black boxer briefs?'
The groceries in Jack's hand fell to the ground and his face changed color. He was enraged. He rushed up to Joanne and stared at Edwin--
"Edwin, how dare you hit on my woman?"
Anger swelled in Jack's chest. He raised his fist and smashed it into Edwin's face.
Although Jack was injured, his punch was fierce.
Edwin got the punch from Jack without warning. He didn't expect Jack to appear at that time. His teeth cracked his lips and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Edwin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger.
He steadied himself and looked up at Jack with cold eyes.
More than the pain in his mouth, he was concerned with what Jack had just said...
'Is Joanne his woman? Did he get those groceries to make dinner with Joanne?
'Is Joanne always trying to throw me out because of Jack?'
Edwin was also enraged. He stood up straight, clenched his
fist, and swung at Jack...
"Jack, watch out!" Seeing the hostility in Edwin's eyes, Joanne screamed. Jack was already injured. She was worried that Jack would have to go to the hospital if he got Edwin's punch, so she rushed in front of him.
Edwin's fist was only a few inches away from Jack... Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Edwin was shocked to see Joanne stepping in front of Jack. He felt as if a knife had stabbed into his heart. His fist stuck in the air, a look of loss and hurt in his eyes.
Jack immediately yanked Joanne behind him with one hand, and he raised his other fist to slam it at Edwin-
"Edwin, I'm warning you, Jo is my girlfriend. Don't you ever go close to her again!"
Edwin was prepared this time. Just as Jack's fist was about to hit him in the face, he raised his arm and blocked it. In the meantime, he tried to punch Jack in the chest, but Jack backed away.
"Jo, are you OK? Did he do something to you?" Then Jack took off his suit jacket and draped it over Joanne's shoulder. He was so worried about her.
Seeing the concern in Jack's eyes and noticing the blood seeping from his forehead, Joanne immediately shook her head, "I’m fine. Your wound is bleeding again..."
"If he harasses you, tell me! I'll teach him a lesson! He's got some money and he’s messing around with actresses. He even hit on Sharon, that shameless woman!" Jack spat.
'How dare he tease Jo with his underwear?'
At that moment, Joanne suddenly found Jack admirable and that he wasn't as annoying as he used to be.
She shook her head again. Then she helped Jack into the room without glancing at Edwin.
The door was slammed shut in front of Edwin.
The scene of Joanne holding Jack's arm and the look of concern on her face drove Edwin crazy.
He was so angry that he kicked the trash can next to him. The aluminum trash can was pitted from his kick. It fell to the ground and rolled a few yards...
Lucas brought some daily necessities for Edwin. He happened to see Edwin's sullen face.
The corners of Edwin's mouth were bleeding. His well- groomed hair was a mess. He looked like a mess.
"Mr. Atherton, what happened?" Lucas's heart thumped. He hurriedly called the doctor. "I'll have the doctor come over and check you out."
Edwin didn't say anything. He was lost in thought and headed for the elevator.
The elevator was downstairs. It didn't come up for a long time.
After waiting for a few minutes, Edwin lost his patience and he walked to the stairs.
Lucas followed him behind. He knew that Joanne lived on the 33rd floor, so he tried to lighten the mood and asked," Mr. Atherton, did Mrs. Atherton hurt you?"
"Shut up!" Edwin exploded with rage, "She's not Mrs. Atherton! She doesn't deserve it! If you call her Mrs.
Atherton again, get the hell out of my sight!"
