Chapter 728 Toxic Love


    When J woke up the following morning, she found herself alone in bed.


    Sore fromst night, she made her way downstairs awkwardly.


    To her surprise, the sofa in the living room had been reced. The new sofa was upholstered in


    ck leather, so it wouldn''t absorb any fluids... J blushed furiously.


    Brandon had just cooked breakfast and was setting the table when he saw J staring at the sofa.


    He smiled and called her. "Time for breakfast, honey."


    "Oh, okay," she said shyly.


    "I''ll drive you to the studio afterwards," Brandon offered while putting a piece of bread onto her


    te.


    Still embarrassed, she nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll finish my food quickly."


    Brandonughed heartily. "Slow down. I''ll wait for you."


    J still didn''t feel at ease until Brandon dropped her off at the gate of her office building. It had


    been the first time they had sex since Brandon lost his memory. Unexpectedly, it went perfectly well.


    It seemed that his loss of memory didn''t affect their sexpatibility at all.


    "You might bete," Brandon put his hand on the steering wheel and reminded the stiff J


    patiently.


    J immediately came to her senses andughed embarrassedly. Just as she was reaching for


    the door handle, Brandon grabbed her arm and pulled her in for a passionate kiss.


    The kisssted longer than expected. J felt like she was about to pass out when Brandon finally


    let her go. "Rx, honey. I''m your husband, not some stranger."


    J''s cheeks blushed furiously. She pushed Brandon away and bolted out of the car in a hurry.


    But before J entered the building, she ran into Elizabeth and Jorge.


    Jorge looked calmer than usual. He smiled and nodded at J politely. "Good morning, J."


    J didn''t like him, but she responded in kind. "Good morning."


    She couldn''t help but nce at Elizabeth. It seemed that she didn''t take her advice seriously, since


    she decided to stay with this wretched man. Elizabeth felt a little guilty when she saw J. She


    exined, "Jorge is much better now. He... He even drove me to work."


    Jorge scratched the back of his head and smiled at J apologetically. "I''m sorry. I was in a bad


    mood because of my withdrawals. As for what happened with Elizabeth, I''ve sincerely apologized to


    her. I won''t lose my temper again and will definitely cherish her from now on."


    Jorge''s words sounded sincere enough, but J''s gut told her not to trust him.


    So she simply nodded at him coldly and then walked into the studio.


    After saying goodbye to Jorge, Elizabeth trotted to catch up to her friend.


    She exined, "J, I want to give Jorge another chance. We had a good talk that day, and Jorge


    promised me that he''ll never hit me again."


    J''s heart sank. It was unlikely that the domestic abuse would stop once it started. Jorge''s


    promise didn''t seem to hold water.


    J was honestly perplexed with Elizabeth. How could a woman who was always so insightful in


    her career be so weak and hesitant in love? How could she allow herself to indulge in such a toxic


    rtionship?


    "Do whatever you think is right. Only the wearer knows where the shoes hurt. I can just give you my


    two cents'' worth, but at the end of the day, it''s still your choice and your life." J gave Elizabeth a


    meaningful look and then walked into the tea room to get some water.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    J listened absentmindedly to the water streaming from the water dispenser. Her mind wandered


    to what she saw in herptop yesterday and she didn''t realize that her ss was almost full.


    "Watch out."


    Suddenly, she heard a gentle warning.


    In a daze, J turned around and found that Draco was standing behind her.


    Draco frowned and grabbed the cup from J quickly.


    Only then did J realize what had happened.
