Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 312

Clark and his friends would often go to the bar to support her, he had said.

At the time, she hadn't thought anything of it. Clark had even taken her with him a couple of times.

She had no idea this was their real relationship.

It was the first time Marjorie had ever seen Clark look at another woman with such tenderness.

He could be tender with her, too, but it was a different kind of tenderness.

"Clark, why don't we go somewhere else to talk? I... I really can't bear to leave you."

Jasmine glanced at him shyly before quickly looking down, her face blushing crimson.

Her words made Clark's throat tighten. A part of him desperately wanted to leave with her, but he knew he couldn't today.

His girlfriend and his parents were still waiting at the table. If he was gone too long, they would get suspicious.

"Be good. Not today. I can't be out for too long. What if we get caught?"

Clark released her hand, suppressing the strange heat rising within him.

Just as he finished speaking, Jasmine leaned in and pressed her lips to his throat.

That simple touch was enough to ignite the desire he had been trying to control.

He grabbed the back of her head and crushed his mouth against hers in a hungry kiss.

Seeing this, Marjorie’s pupils constricted.

A sharp pain lanced through her heart. She clamped a hand over her mouth, terrified she would make a sound.

It hurt so much she could barely breathe. Fat tears streamed down her cheeks.

Clark had promised to love her for a lifetime.

Today was the day she was meeting his family. They would be married soon, starting a life together.

She had wavered between him and West, often feeling he didn't measure up.

But just yesterday, he had sworn he would love her forever.

He had planned their future: two children, a happy family of four.

Was her future marriage going to be a life of tolerating mistresses?

As she watched them kiss, lost in their own world, she turned to leave.

But just as she turned, she heard Jasmine's coquettish voice.

"Clark, it's not very convenient here. Why don't we go over there?" Jasmine glanced towards a corner of the first floor.

Clark's arm was wrapped around her waist, his other hand already sliding impatiently under her skirt.

She was dressed so lightly for the summer, and their entanglement had pushed his desire to its peak.

Without a second thought, Clark agreed.

"Alright," he rasped. "Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you today."

"Mmm, Clark, you're so bad!"

Their playful banter faded as they walked away.

Marjorie stood rooted to the spot. Finally, unable to stop herself, she lifted her foot and followed them.
