Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Tell Me, Are You Jealous?

Jimmy spoke with a commanding tone that made Anna extremely uncomfortable. Her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in annoyance, and her delicate face clearly showed her displeasure.

"Mr. Harrison, you have no right or authority to question my decision," Anna retorted sharply.

Jimmy had anticipated this reaction from Anna, so he didn't show any anger on his handsome face. However, he took a step towards her.

His sudden approach startled Anna, causing her to instinctively step back. But she didn't expect Jimmy's bony hand to grip tightly around her waist.

Anna was almost scared out of her wits as she raised her fist and pressed it against Jimmy's chest. "Let go... let go!" she demanded.

Instead of releasing his hold on Anna's waist, Jimmy tightened his grip slightly and pulled her closer to him. His hot breath sprayed onto Anna's ear as he spoke softly, "If you leave, everyone will think you're guilty. Running away won't solve anything. You need to face them head-on and achieve better results that will earn everyone's respect."

Jimmy's voice was clear like spring water with an irresistible charm that could bewitch anyone who heard it.

Anna snorted while pursing her lips together before saying in a sweet voice, "Clean hands need no washing."

Jimmy nodded approvingly while using his slender index finger to gently stroke Anna's face.

"Then why are you leaving? Stay here and prove yourself," he said with a slight bend.

The fiery look in Jimmy's eyes made Anna's heart beat faster as she quickly pushed him away, keeping some distance from him.

Rumors were scary things; if she stayed, there might be even more gossip about herself later on along with hidden ridicule from others too. Could she really handle all that?

Anna felt confused especially when thinking about their relationship which only added more difficulty into the mix.

"If I stay, then I might hear even more hurtful words being whispered or worse yet drowned out by public opinion. I'm afraid... I don't know if I can bear it all," Anna confessed hesitantly

After hesitating for a while, Anna finally voiced her worries. Her eyes were filled with fear.

In Jimmy's deep, bottomless eyes, his smile deepened even more.

He once again embraced Anna in his arms and gently stroked her furrowed brows with his clearly defined fingers.

"With me here, I won't let anyone bully you. In this lifetime, I will only protect you."

His promise was full of affection and echoed clearly in Anna's ears.

Anna looked up at him in surprise. Her watery eyes were filled with emotions and a hint of disbelief.

Was he really telling the truth?

Would he really protect her for the rest of their lives?

Jimmy noticed that Anna didn't fully believe his promise which made an unpleasant expression appear on his handsome face.

With gentle eyes and a long index finger, he lightly touched her red lips as they locked onto hers intently.

"Don't doubt anything I say; if I make a promise, then it will be fulfilled."

His firm tone assured Anna that he wasn't joking but...

"Should I release a statement announcing my breakup with Bryce?"

Anna asked softly while gazing into Jimmy's eyes which made him feel satisfied by the trust she had placed in him.

"He'll handle it; what should we do now is to go out for dinner."
