Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 509
“That’s possible. I see them together a lot.”
“Does this mean that Miss Lynch has been betrayed?”
Once Patrick heard those remarks, his handsome face began to express fury. “Get this clear, she was the one who rushed in and slapped Linda. I’ve long since broken up with her.”
“Do you know what prompted her to slap Linda, then?”
Upon hearing Forrest’s sharp question, Patrick was stunned. “No matter what reason it is, it’s just not right to slap someone.”
Freya gave a smile, which looked more hideous than her teary face.
She actually fell for such a man back then. Had she been blind?
Forrest tapped Freya on the shoulder pitifully. “It’s not right to slap someone, but as her ex-boyfriend, don’t you understand her character? Well, you probably couldn’t have been bothered to understand her. To you, even a strand of this woman’s hair matters more than Freya. Perhaps, in your eyes, Freya is altogether wicked.”
Patrick froze for a moment. “Forrest, we’re talking about the slapping incident. It’s not worth discussing what happened in the past either. We’ve long since broken up.”
“You’re right. I’m just… I’m just indignant because my sister wasted her youth on a man like you.”
Forrest’s cold eyes revealed indifference. “Well, since Freya slapped her, it surely means that she deserves being slapped. You can call the police to come to the Lynch family’s house and arrest Freya. Let’s see if you manage to get her arrested.”
With that, Forrest took Freya away and went downstairs.
“Forrest, you’re basically pampering her.” Stung by his words, Patrick felt that he had lost his dignity.
“Yeah, I am because she’s my beloved sister. I care about her, so why shouldn’t I pamper her?”
Forrest snorted and then left without looking back.
Freya, who was protected in Forrest’s arms, did not turn around and glance at Patrick again.
On the other hand, Patrick felt an intense pressure in his chest all of a sudden.
He recalled Freya saying that she regretted having ever loved him.
Did she just say it out of fury?
Why did he suddenly feel as though the woman was going to part with him for good?
“Ouch. It’s painful…”
