Chapter 86


    “Alright, Dad is going upstairs to rest. You should rest early too. Tom, it’s gettingte. You should


    head home soon,” Jeremy Quest said before standing up and heading upstairs.


    When X Quest saw him leaving, she could not help but feel her heart aching on his behalf.


    It must have felt terrible to be betrayed by the person he trusted the most. It must have hurt even


    more to send the person he loved to jail.


    After Jeremy left, X began heading upstairs as well. It did not seem like she even wanted to


    speak to Tom Sullivan.


    s, X had seen through all of Tom’s tricks. He was an absolute jerk who did not even deserve


    to be looked at.


    However, just as X arrived at the staircase, Tom immediately ran after her. He took one step


    further up the stairs to stand in her way.


    After a second, he wrapped his hands tightly around her shoulders.


    “I was very worried about you after what happened to Imperial Prime. When I saw how well you


    handled the situation, I felt very happy for you. Why didn’t you reply to my messages? I was


    concerned about you,” Tom said.


    X felt disgusted by his touch and words of concern.


    The things she liked the most in the past had be something she now hated the most.


    X frowned slightly before taking a step back and pushing Tom’s hand away.


    “Brother-inw, please don’t touch me. I didn’t reply you because I didn’t want to.” X behaved


    coldly, just as she usually did.


    “X, I was extremely worried about you. Must you hurt me like this?” Tom asked.


    Tom was deeply hurt by X’s attitude toward him. Whenever they met each other, Tom felt like a


    failure.


    However, the more distant she behaved around him, the more he fell for her and wanted to have his


    way with her.


    Tom wanted X so much that he could not resist his urges.


    “Do you think it’s appropriate for you to treat a married woman like this, Brother-inw?” X asked.


    “X, must you be like this?” The words ‘brother-inw’ and ‘married woman’ sounded annoying to


    Tom.


    “How do you want me to behave?” X asked.


    “I heard from Emily that the person you married is very ugly. Why are you with a man like that? Why


    would you torture yourself in such a way? I advise that you reconsider your decision,” Tom said.


    “Oh.” X pushed him away and continued to walk upstairs. She was like a rare and expensive


    flower in the mountains which could only ever be observed from afar but never touched.


    However, Tom still ran after her and hugged her tightly from behind. He was not pressing his chin


    down on her shoulder.


    “X, file for divorce. I will look after you after you get divorced…” Tom whispered next to her ears.


    “You are a man who is about to get married. Don’t you think it’s funny when you said that?” X felt


    utterly disgusted while she tried to push his hand away but failed to do so.


    “X… X… Listen to me. Even if I get married, we can still stay in touch. Let’s try doing that.


    Once she gives birth, we’ll find a way to get divorced. Give me a few more years. Alright? Please


    give me another chance. I know I was wrong before. To be honest, I never wanted to get married.


    My parents forced me to do it. You know I can’t refuse,” Tom continued to speak.


    X felt even more disgusted with Tom after hearing what he had said.


    How could he be this shameless?


    Were humans even capable of being this deceitful? How blind was she in the past to not have


    realized this about Tom?


    “Tom Sullivan, I am warning you. Let go of me. Otherwise, don’t me me for what I am about to do


    to you,” X said.

    “X, please give me a chance, eh? I promise I will never betray you again!” Tom held onto X


    tightly while he tried to kiss her earlobe with open lips.


    Tom was madly in love with X right now! He must have her! He did not care how difficult it was


    going to be!
