“Tim, you dumb fool! Why aren’t you charging in? If you keep waiting, your girlfriend will be taken away!” Nicholas’ eyes filled with fond exasperation as he watched Tessa’s worrying face.
Meanwhile, Kieran, secretly observing from around the corner, shared her anxiety. “Go on! What is this man thinking?” he mumbled.
However, Timothy did not know of their scheme, though. Standing not far away from Sabrina and the man, he knew he could not keep watching. At that moment, he realized he loved her. Suddenly, a wave of jealousy washed over him when he saw another man holding the woman he liked in his arms.
Without hesitation, Timothy dashed over and yanked the man away from her, pulling her into a tight embrace. However, his sudden appearance shocked both of them.
Then, they heard Timothy’s voice ring out in an imperious tone. “Who said I don’t love her?” His words made Sabrina look at him as her heart raced uncontrollably.
On the other hand, the man was somewhat frightened by Timothy’s imposing form. For at moment, he thought he was looking at Nicholas instead. After all, he had only ever seen that aura be exuded by Nicholas.
Soon, the man regained his senses but did not forget his responsibilities as he mockingly scowled in anger. “If you like her, why are you so inconsistent with how you treat her?”
“That is our personal business and none of yours.” Timothy refused to answer that question.
Nevertheless, the man sensed that as well. “Why is it none of my business?” he snapped in a taunting voice. “I like her, so it’s my responsibility to help her sort through the garbage. Since you don’t treat her well, I have the right to interfere.”
“How could you have that right?” Timothy’s response rang with immense displeasure.
Then, the man glanced at Sabrina and frowned before proudly saying, “Of course I do. I am her childhood best friend. We grew up together. How can I not have that right?”
