“I’m not like her. I’m just taking back what’s mine. Francis muttered as his eyes darkened, seemingly talking to himself. Then, he looked up and said. “That’s something between the both of us You don’t have to bother about it.”
How do you expect me not to bother! That’s my husband. You guys are plotting to harm someone important to me Christina’s gaze was steely Hore can poubly then a blind eye? However, all I can do is be on my guard until I have some concrete evidence
Upon hearing her reply, Francis felt as though he had been stabbed in the chest with a dagger, and he found it hard to breathe for a moment.
I don’t know when it started, but Christina’s delicate face would constantly appear in my mind. Alas, the only has eyes for Nathaniel. He and I are both part of the Hadley family, yet why is he the only one who deserves to have the Hadley
surname?
At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor.
Francis’ heart sank a little. Then, an evil thought sprouted in his mind. He slowly walked forward until he was standing right in front of Christina. Holding her gently by her chin, he whispered, “Christina, if there comes a day when you realize he’s not as good as you thought, remember that I welcome you into my arms at any time.”
She slapped his hand away. What nonsense is he spouting now?
“You should hurry up and go back. If I find you two plotting against Nathaniel, I won’t hesitate to expose you.” Christina was very clear about where she stood now. She was on Nathaniel’s side and still at odds with them.
The footsteps grew nearer. Then, a sharp voice barked, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“What you see is exactly what’s going on. What’s there to ask?” Francis had no intention of moving aside. He stood uncomfortably close to Christina, his breath lingering in the small space between them.
From behind, they appeared to be standing very close. It was the sort of proximity that would only occur between lovers.
Nathaniel’s gaze clouded over immediately and turned stormy. Rushing forward, he grabbed Francis by the collar and jerked him backward.
In the blink of an eye, the two men of similar height were grappling with each other.
“Didn’t I warn you to stay away from what’s mine? Why do you insist on looking for trouble?” Without wasting his breath to say anything more, Nathaniel swung a punch toward Francis.
There was a loud thud, and the sound of his fist hitting its target reverberated throughout the spacious.

Francis immediately started bleeding at the corner of his mouth. However, he showed no sign of backing down and retaliated with a punch. “What do you mean yours? She’s just yours for the time being. Who’s to say she won’t be mine in the future?”
“You asked for it!”
Just like that, a brawl broke out between the two men. Nathaniel had practiced boxing before, so his blows
Take Back What Is Mine
were hard and powerful. It was clear at a glance that Francis was no match for him
Shocked to see them trading punches, Christina quickly shouted for them to stop “Stop fighting Why can’t you talk things out in a civilized manner
Her words fell on deaf ears Instead, the fight grew even more intense Neither one was willing to let go of the other, and they were seemingly determined to fight to the death.
Meanwhile, Sebastian broke into a cold sweat as he watched the scene. He wanted to break up the suffle but did not dare to be meter seen Mr. Badley fight in fiercely. It’s as though he’s not planning to stop until he opponent is down for the count. Now that I think about hose much strength he user when I practice with him at the baring gym, I realize he has been going eaty on me. Otherwise, I’d have gotten beaten to a pulp by none………….
A shiver ran down his spine as that thought came to his mind.
“Stop fighting! Someone’s going to get hurt if you keep this up!”
Suddenly, there was a streak of crimson, and the scent of blood filled the air. It was unclear whose blood it
