Chapter 17
Following the leads on the comic author’s page, Jonathan finally pinpointed my address three days later X
At this moment, he stood impeccably dressed in a suit in front of the coffee shop across from my apartment complex, holding a newly folded paper rose in his hand, as nervous as a young boy on his first date
“This time, I absolutely have to apologize properly…” he murmured, adjusting his tie
Just then, the door of the coffee shop opened.
Jonathan’s breath hitched.
I walked out wearing a simple white T–shirt and jeans, my hair shorter than he remembered. I smiled as I turned back to say something to
someone inside.X
In the next second, his blood ran cold
A tall man followed me, taking the art supply bag from my hand.
The man said something in the sunlight that made my eyes crinkle with laughter
Then, he reached out and gently brushed a nonexistent speck of dust from my shoulder, the gesture intimately jarring
“A man?
Jonathan’s voice was dangerously low. “You actually moved on this quickly!”
The paper rose in his palm was crushed into pieces.
He stared intently at the two figures across the street, watching them walk towards a nearby apartment building, chatting and laughing.
The man pulled out a key from his pocket as he lived there. She stood close by, holding that orange cat in her arms.
This scene completely shattered Jonathan’s sanity
“Daphne!”
His roar startled the pigeons off the street!
I turned around in shock, my smile instantly vanishing.
The cat in my arms puffed up, tail raised in alarm
Julian instinctively stepped forward, shielding me. “Is there a problem?”
“Get lost!” Jonathan shoved Julian aside and glared at me. “Who is he? What’s your relationship?”
My shock quickly turned to icy calm. “Jonathan, this isn’t the place for your tantrums.“)
“I’m asking you who he is! Jonathan’s voice was practically squeezed out between his teeth. “We’ve only been separated for a few months and you’ve already…”
you right.
*Jonathan Zander, is it?” Julian suddenly interjected, polite yet firm as he stepped between us. “My Daphne doesn’t want to see y now. Please leave.”
“My Daphne?” Jonathan sneered. “How intimate Ti
He suddenly grabbed Julian’s collar. “What do you think you are? You have no right to
The moment his fist swung out, my sharp cry rang out “Stop!“!
However, it was too late.
Julian tilted his head to avoid the blow and landed a swift uppercut on Jonathan’s stomach.
The two men instantly grappled, knocking over a roadside trash can.X
What on earth was Jonathan doing, going crazy like this?!!
“Stop fighting!” I tried to pull them apart, but was shoved away by Jonathan.X
I stumbled backward, the cat in my arms leaping out in fright!!
This action completely enraged Julian.X
He landed a punch on Jonathan’s face and blood immediately trickled from the comer of his mouth,
“How dare you push her? What right do you have to go crazy here?“
Julian grabbed Jonathan’s collar. “Do you know how scored she was alone in the hospital the day of her miscamiage? Do you know.” “Julian” I suddenly interrupted sharply “That’s enough.”
I took my phone out of my bag and calmly dialed the number. “Hello, I want to report a disturbance. There’s someone causing trouble
here
Jonathan looked up in disbelief. “Daphne? Are you calling the police on me?”
The sound of police sirens grow closer.
I bent down and scooped up my frightened cat, my voice as cold as ice. “Jonathan. We’re divorced.”
