Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 471

"No, but darling, my wife! We've been together for years now. You won't leave me, will you?" Easton regarded Lucy as the last good thing in his life, because Lucy's family was doing rather well and had several million worth in assets. Although he could not bring himself to ask her for money, the Orwells had only one daughter, which meant that he would receive support from her family in the future as long as she married him.

That, coupled with the Loughs' experience in doing business, made him believe that there was hope for a comeback as long as he had a bit of money. Moreover, the Loughs did not owe a lot of money, and the total amount they owed was about three hundred thousand dollars at most. That sum was not that big in Easton's eyes, and since he was a poor man, it would be difficult for him to have a beautiful woman like Lucy to be his wife. He regretted his actions since the day before, and when he saw Lucy there at the restaurant, he immediately mustered up his courage to try and save their relationship.

"Hehe, don't call me 'darling'! How dare you call me that when you pushed me to the floor yesterday?" Lucy, meanwhile, had a cold expression and did not show him any affection at all. She sneered at Easton and said, "Oh, Easton, do you think you can still love me now? All else aside, are you able to treat me to a good meal here in this restaurant? You probably don't even have a hundred bucks on you right now, so where did you get the nerve to pester me like this?"

Cain sneered when he heard Lucy's remarks too. "Look at yourself. You can't even guarantee your survival, and yet you're trying to pester Lucy? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what sort of person you've become?"

"But Lucy…you won't…you won't forget me that quickly, right? Weren't you happy when we were together? Didn't you say that you'll only marry me in this life?" Easton shook his head and was still determined to try and salvage what he could. He gazed longingly at Lucy and said, "Believe in me, Lucy! Believe that I'll make a comeback one day! I promise to work hard and become rich again! Don't you think I'm better than this fat man?"

Cain was so angry that he kicked Easton in the stomach and sent the man flying two meters away. "What do you mean you're better than a fat man like me? You're a f*cking fat-shamer, aren't you? I'm still better than you in lots of aspects!"
