Chapter 43


    "It doesn''t matter if I said that four years ago or now, the only way you''ll be able to leave me is in


    death," Brett dered, his tone resolute. He grabbed Izabe forcefully, pulling her into his embrace


    against her will.


    "Izabe, your heart can only belong to me," he asserted, his grip tightening.


    Witnessing his audacity and his sense of entitlement, anger surged within Izabe, causing her


    stomach to ache. She looked up at him, her eyes filled with indignation. "Brett, you can''t even


    control your own heart, and yet you expect to control mine?"


    "Don''tpare yourself to me. I''ve told you, Kaley is different. She won''t mind," Brett retorted


    dismissively.


    To him, marriage and love were separate entities. He believed that even after getting married, he


    could still treat Kaley well, and they could live in peaceful coexistence, just as they had before.


    As long as his marriage with Izabe is still there, he won''t allow her to have anything to do with


    others, even if their marriage is just a contract on paper, not even spiritually because he has a


    cleanliness habit.


    Izabe didn''t know what he was thinking, but just listening to what he said, she was totally shocked


    by his shamelessness.


    She always knew Brett was scum, but she didn''t know he was so scummy and didn''t even realize


    how shameless his words were! Just saying these things so high and mighty was so typical of him!


    Izabe''s stomach hurt even more. In addition to the pain, she felt cold. It was spring and the


    temperature wasn''t low, but she seemed to be feeling the cold of winter, as if she had been thrown


    into a snowy ground and chilled all night. Her lips were stiff and it was hard to speak.


    "If Kaley heard what you said, she might cry out from a blood fest."


    "She won''t," Brett stared at her, with a seriousness he had never shown before. "I''ve made it clear


    to her."


    When Brett told Kaley about these things, she seemed a little disappointed. However, she quickly


    epted the situation without resisting, unlike Izabe, who had something to say about it. This left


    Brett somewhat confused. If Kaley could ept the arrangements, why couldn''t Izabe?


    "Strange birds of a feather flock together," Izabe mocked, expressing her disdain. "You two really


    disgust me. I''m different from her, that''s for sure."


    "Sick or not, you''ll have to endure it," Brett responded with cold, emotionless eyes. His gaze was as


    icy and chilling as his words, sending a shiver down Izabe''s spine.


    "Nothing ever happened between Kaley and me. She''s just my friend now. When she moves in


    here, I hope you won''t make things difficult for her. I''ll still be with you in the future."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Brett''s words felt like an undeserved act of generosity. They left Izabe speechless, leaving a bitter


    taste in her throat, as if she had swallowed a bitter pill. Biting her lower lip, her eyes started to


    redden—not out of sorrow, but out of anger. She didn''t want to waste time dwelling on the messy


    situation between Brett and Kaley.


    Izabe pushed Brett hard, his hand still holding her, causing her real pain.


    "You''re really special with this friend thing, doing stuff that couples should," she sneered. "Now


    everyone is praising your childhood sweetheart love story."


    It was Brett''s turn to be choked. His face was hesitant, he moistened his lips, but said nothing.


    The atmosphere sank into an odd silence; Izabe turned around, "I''m going to clean up a room so


    that your beloved can move in."


    She was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and turned back, "Is the room


    decorated ording to your taste or Kaley''s?"


    Brett answered, "Just clean up a room for her, I''ll sleep with you."


    Izabe ignored him, "Then I''ll arrange it ording to your taste. Kaley, who doesn''t mind being a


    mistress who can''t see the light of day for a lifetime, certainly won''t mind that it was me who


    arranged the bedroom."


    Her tone was so calm that it was hard to tell if she was being sarcastic.


    There are four bedrooms in the vi, all the same size. In fact, she could also give her master


    bedroom to Kaley, but she was used to living in it. If she moved, she''s afraid that she would walk in


    habitually and bump into Brett and Kaley flirting or even making love, causing a big problem.


    To avoid this situation, Izabe deliberately chose a room far away from the master bedroom. The


    house was soundproof and separated by a corridor, so no matter how noisy they were at night, they


    wouldn''t disturb her.
