Chapter 3

"I was thinking of sending you an invitation, but I didn't expect you to have already seen it."

Jack's voice came from behind me, and I turned to look at him with tears in my eyes.

Jack was clearly dissatisfied with my current expression, frowning as he looked at me.

"It's just asking you to take care of Emily in Lakeside City, why are you putting on such a disgusting face again?"

I lowered my head and bit my lower lip.

Jack was about to say something more, but hearing my sobs, he slowly closed the door.

"What are you crying about?"

His tone was unusually gentle.

"Don't cry. If you don't want to do this, I won't force you."

He looked at me helplessly, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

In the years I've been by Jack's side, I've driven away many women for him.

No matter what happened, I never shed a tear.

But I couldn't accept Jack marrying someone else in Lakeside City.

That place held my memories with Ethan, and it was also the pain in my heart.

Coming to my senses, I raised my head and asked Jack, "Can I leave after the wedding is over?"

Jack's breathing slowed, and he looked at me like a trapped beast.

"You want to leave that badly?"

I nodded, pointing to the wedding date on the invitation, confirming with Jack.

As long as Jack got married, my mission would be complete.

Returning home, I started packing my things and headed straight for Lakeside City.

I carried several suitcases, following behind Jack and Emily.

Jack suddenly turned back to look at me, "Didn't you go to college in Lakeside City? If there's anyone you want to visit, feel free."

His tone was like he was granting me a great favor.

But he forgot, I wasn't close to anyone.

Except for Ethan.

But he was already dead.

I returned to my room in silence, falling asleep with tears in my eyes.

Early the next morning, I heard the voices of Jack's close friends.

"Sophia Lee is still following you, Mr. Rivers. Your charm is quite something."

"What are you talking about? It's just because Sophia Lee is a lapdog."

They joked, and Jack didn't refute.

I got up and opened the door, coming out of the room, pretending not to see anyone.

Jack squinted at me, slowly exhaling a smoke ring.

"Seeing people and not greeting them? Where are your manners?"

I greeted everyone according to Jack's request, and he finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Jack, you've really trained Sophia Lee well."

"She can't leave me," he said with certainty.

Yes, I had given Jack so many years, given him my all.

I didn't even care about my own life.

I lowered my eyes, and when I was about to leave, Jack suddenly grabbed my hand.

The wound felt like it was tearing open again, and I cried out in pain.

Jack was startled and suddenly withdrew his hand.

"Mr. Wilson can touch you, but you're so repulsed when I touch you?"

He gritted his teeth, this time not even willing to show a look of disgust.

Looking at his eyes, I fell into confusion.

Didn't he know that my injuries were from the car accident?

But wasn't it him who told the doctors to save Emily first?
