Chapter 652


    Ricardo’s skin was a healthy, creamy white, like the most pristine and outstanding teenager you’d


    bump into on a college campus, someone who just naturally stood out from the crowd.


    Noticing Aubree looking at him, he paused his movements and shed her a smile. “Does your


    stomach still hurt?”


    Aubree felt a bit better, and as her phone started ringing, she tried to reach for it. Shecked enough


    strength, slid off the couch, and hit her head on the coffee table, wincing at the sharp pain.


    Ricardo got up and came over to help her back up. Dazed from the bump, Aubree looked up at him


    with blurry eyes.


    It was at that moment that the room’s door swung open. Andrew stood there, nked by the hotel


    manager. His pupils shrank as he took in the sight of the two tangled on the couch. “What the hell are


    you doing?”


    Aubree stiffened, the dizziness in her head vanished instantly, leaving her heart feeling like it had been


    shed open. Her face drained of itsst bit of color.


    As if he hadn’t heard a thing, Ricardo continued to help her up and guided her back to the couch.


    The lobby manager outside witnessed the awkward scene and quickly made his escape. He wasn’t


    blind. He could tell this was a lover’s quarrel gone wrong.


    Andrew was radiating fury, his chest aching and tingling as if thousands of insects were biting him. The


    pain was so intense he couldn’t even think straight.


    How could this happen?


    He had been searching for Aubree for days, and upon learning that her information had shown up at a


    Dorsey International hotel, he came straight from the hospital. He thought Aubree woulde to find


    him as soon as she returned to Beaconsfield.


    They hadn’t had sex for a while; she must have missed him. She always couldn’t stay away from him. It


    must have been the same this time. She knew Andrew was getting married and hurried back.


    Andrew couldn’t contain his excitement on his way here, but he had never expected to open the door to


    this scene. Aubree was pinned down by a young guy, staring at him with a dazed and willing


    expression. It was clear as day – a picture of mutual desire.


    Andrew’s heart felt like it had been pierced, panic and rage coursing through him uncontrobly. He


    strode forward and yanked Ricardo away.


    “Aubree!” Andrew’s grip tightened in her hair, his eyes red with anger. “You… you…”

    How could she stay with another man behind his back!


    This bitch!


    Andrew felt a humiliation like never before, a foreign emotion that pricked his entire being.


    He wanted to strangle her right there. But before he couldy a hand on her, his cheek. stung from a


    blow.


    Aubree was barely able to stand. She trembled and red at him as if he was some kind. of natural


    disaster.


    Andrew touched his cheek, puzzled. It didn’t hurt, but he


    heart was in sharp pain. He couldn’t understand this feeling, only that Aubree’s actions had infuriated


    him.


    Exactly, Aubree found another man behind his back, and he caught her red–handed. Had she been


    hooking up with someone else for thest two days? His tongue licked at his cheek, tasting the


    bitterness of blood, and he let out a coldugh.


    Aubree was shaking all over, retreating from his approach, backing away like a cornered animal.


    Help. She wanted to flee from here, to go anywhere but where Andrew was.

    Tears welled up and spilled over as she looked at Ricardo as if pleading for rescue.


    Andrew noticed her gaze had shifted from him, his heart skipping a beat. Uncontrobly, almost


    panicking, he reached out for her.


    “Aubree, you-”


    “Don’t touch me!”


    Aubree backed away, falling clumsily to the floor. The water from the coffee table spilled over her chest,


    but she was oblivious to it and just kept retreating further, wanting to get as far from Andrew as


    possible.


    Andrew stood frozen as if struck by a spell. He had never felt this way before. It was as if he’d been


    pped a dozen times or like a giant hand had clutched his heart.


    He realized something was wrong with him, as he shouldn’t have been that angry. It was, just Aubree


    with another man. Wasn’t he tired of her anyway?


    However, he felt as if his bones were being crushed, the pain making his eyes redden.
