Chapter 122


    Chapter 122


    Just as Neil and I were at impasse, a person appeated at the top of the stairs. It was Simmons. Taking


    in the scene, Simmons quickly trotted down the stairs andnded a punch on Neil’s face.


    “You jerk He gave a shout of anger.


    With fruits scattered all over the floor and my hair in disarray, anyone would ve pictured an unpleasant


    situation.


    Neil, however, didn’t fight back He crumpled to the ground, touched his bleeding lip, and then managed


    to get back up.


    He didnt even nce at Simmons, just fixed his eyes on the and said, “He hit fne for you, so I didn’t hit


    back.”


    I gave a bitterugh, “Why bother?”


    “You once told me that the origin of feelings is unknown, but once they form, they run as deep as the


    ocean. I think I’m starting to understand,” Neil’s hair was a mess, covering one of his eyes, making it


    hard to gauge his emotions.


    What the hell are you doing?” Simmons was also furious. “Save your sweet talk for your girlfriend, will


    you? Be a man and own up to your choices!”


    Only then did Neil look at Simmons, but his gaze was icy, “What are you doing here? Do you live with


    her?” He pointed at me, his eyes narrowing into a sharp re


    “Yeah, so what? You–Simmons started to respond.


    He wanted to rattle Neil, and I knew it. We’re all adults here, who doesn’t understand the feeling of


    possessiveness?


    But I cut him off, “He’s just staying for a few days. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave. You


    must be busy with yourpany back home. Your time is precious, don’t waste it here. Goodbye”


    Then I grabbed Simmons and went straight up to the third floor and shut the door behind us.


    “Rena, haven’t you moved on from him?” Simmons sat down, looking a bit crestfallen.


    “It’s not about whether I’ve moved on or not. We’re divorced, there’s no need for this kind of conflict.


    Whether it’s you or him who gets hurt, I can’t escape the me “I massaged my throbbing temples.


    I didn’t want to deal with an angry Neil. It could get ugly.


    Just as I was feeling frustrated, the smell of fish hit me, making me feel nauseous. I bolted to the


    bathroom.


    A minuteter, Simmons called out from outside the door, “Rena, are you okay?”

    1. I’m fine. I couldn’t finish my sentence. After I threw up, I managed to get up, opened the door and


    asked him, “Simmons, are you cooking fish?”


    Simmons looked pale. He nodded, “I made fish soup. You can’t stand the smell of fish?”


    I didn’t say a word.


    As I was washing my hands, Simmons stayed by my side. He kept his eyes on me until he finally said,


    ‘Rena, are you pregnant?”


    I froze. Why did Ste have to put me in this situation? Living together is the easiest way for someone


    to find out about a pregnancy.


    Ten minutester, Simmons and I were sitting on the couch in silence. His brows were furrowed the


    whole time.


    After a long while, he asked, “Have you really decided to be a single mom? Aren’t you going to tell


    Neil?”


    “I want this baby, but I don’t want to get married “I sighed, “Simmons, can you help me keep this a


    secret, even from Ste? She’s married to Mitch Hebert now, and I don’t want Neil to find out about


    this.”


    “No way!” Simmons suddenly got very agitated. He quickly got up, marched to the door, flung it open


    and stormed out.


    I was taken aback and immediately followed him.


    To my surprise, Neil was still downstairs, leaning against his car and smoking. He hadn’t left.


    Just as I reached the bottom of the stairs, Simmons charged at Neil andnded another punch on him.


    His rage terrified me.


    “So you enjoy hitting people, huh?!” Neil was also furious. His cigarette had long fallen to the ground.


    After he finished cursing, he didn’t hesitate to kick


    Simmons


    “What gives you the right to hurt her?! Just because she loves you? She’s loved you for ten years, and


    even after the divorce, you’re still hurting her. You’re shameless” Siminons got kicked, but he didn’t


    back down. He steadied himself and grabbed Neil’s cor, “I should’ve never given up on her. I


    should’ve fought for her!”


    Neil shrugged off Simmons’s hand, suppressing his anger. “What’s the point in fighting for her? She


    wouldn’t choose you. Not then, not now Damn it!”


    I had a splitting headache Two grown men fighting… I didn’t dare to intervene. It wasn’t like before


    when I could just fall and be fine. I was pregnant now. any ident could be troublesome.


    “Then why didn’t you cherish her? Do you know her -Simmons almost gave up the secret.


    I gathered my courage, ran over and hugged Simmons around his waist, “I don’t love him anymore, I


    really don’t!”


    As soon as I finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.


    Simmons looked down at me,


    his eyes filled with heartache and anger. Neil, on the other hand, looked surprisingly calm, as if he saw


    thising.


    “Nell you better leave now!” I didn’t look at Neil again.


    I heard the sound of Neil getting into his car from behind. He mmed the car door with all his might,


    as if venting all his anger on that action.


    After a while, Simmons broke the silence, “He’s gone.”


    You have to keep this a secret for me I let go of Simmons’s waist. I didn’t pursue his impulsive actions


    just now I just said seriously. “If you don’t want me to get tangled up with him again because of this


    baby, you must help me keep this a secret and not tell anyone.”


    Simmons looked frustrated. He paced around a few times before he finally agreed, Tine, I get it”


    I breathed a sigh of relief and managed a smile, “Great, let’s go back. It’ste and I have work


    tomorrow”


    I went up the stairs first.


    Tonight’s events were exhausting I thought of Neil’s kiss, the madness and brutality. It felt like I was


    truly the one he missed. But earlier today, he gave Bonnie a car and let her throw herself into his arms,


    hugging his waist.


    I got it. He was having trouble epting that I suddenly didn’t love him anymore and divorced him. So


    his feelings got blurred.


    He mistook his possessiveness for love..


    I tried tofort myself and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.


    When I got to work the next day, my eyes were super puffy and I was in a bad state Ondo noticed


    and called me into his office.


    “You didn’t get much sleepst night, huh?” He asked.


    “Yes, I had some stuff to deal withst night, so I went to bed prettyte.” I answered honestly


    Ondo shook his head in resignation, “You should get some rest earlier. I have something to tell you”


    “Linda requested to move to the Marketing department, so I was thinking of handing over some of her


    tasks in the Development department to you. Are you up for taking her spot? Do you think you can


    handle it?”


    Linda, or Kate’s position and sry were both a notch higher than mine.


    I was a bit surprised, “Why did she suddenly apply to move to Marketing?”


    “She mainly wants to give online marketing a shot. She’s probably fed up with constantly being out


    negotiating deals and wants to challenge herself.” Ondo answered.


    But I guessed the real reason Kate wanted to move was probably to get closer to Bonnie, that young


    girl who looked a lot like her sister
