Boss,I'm Not Your Stand-in Gilrfriend novel Chapter 9

Layne no doubt helped me through difficult times. He simply let bygones be bygones, and I was very grateful for it.

However, before I could express my gratitude, Layne grabbed my hand and said excitedly, "Darcey, I know this money may not be enough, but it does not matter. I will make up the rest. But can you contact me more in the future? If you need anything, just let me know so I have a chance to take care of you."

I pulled out my hand as it was dipped in hot water. Layne was a married man. I had already been betrayed by Roger. I could not let another family become unhappy. I said, "Actually, we are just classmates. You saved that money hard. I can not take it. You should take it back."

Layne refused, and kept me from going. Just as I was about to free myself from his grasp, someone rushed over and slapped me across the face. I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

The woman shouted, "You b*tch, how dare you seduce my man?!"

I looked up and saw that Layne had stopped her and pulled her outside. This was really unexpected. I had not been to Layne's wedding to avoid embarrassment, so this was the first time I'd seen his wife, and under such circumstances. I also saw that she was pregnant as well. I wondered, "Why are we all pregnant women and she is so energetic?"

Layne tried his best to stop the woman, but her strength was so great that she tore away from Layne and rushed at me again. I quickly shielded my stomach and did not dare say anything for fear that I would anger her further.

Just when I was about to despair, suddenly someone shouted to stop the woman "What are you doing?"

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Gavin. I immediately felt relieved for no reason. The woman still said hesitantly, "Obviously she has a husband, but she still has the audacity to go out and provoke others. That's really disgusting!"
