He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 53

How did he know she was here?

Startled, Scarlett walked forward, meeting his oppressive gaze head-on.

She looked past him as if he were thin air, instinctively reaching for her car door.

A warm, powerful hand clamped down over hers, trapping her fingers against the handle. The man's magnetic, frigid voice rang out above her head.

"Don't you have anything to explain?"

Scarlett looked up, shooting him a cold glance.

"Explain what?"

"Explain why you're here," Yardley demanded, "and who that man was who just smiled and walked you down."

Scarlett scoffed. "None of your business."

Yardley completely lost his temper.

Before Scarlett could react, Yardley hoisted her slender frame up and effortlessly threw her over his shoulder.

"Hey!"

"Yardley Flynn, what are you doing?"

"Let me go!"

Once the shock wore off, Scarlett screamed furiously, her hands slapping wildly against his broad, muscular back.

Yardley ignored her entirely. One of his large hands clamped down on her legs like a vice, making it impossible for her to break free.

He tossed her into the backseat of his car.

His grip was so tight it felt like he was going to crush her wrists.

"I can't let you keep acting like this. You're coming home with me."

The veins on Scarlett's forehead throbbed. "You're out of your mind, Yardley!"

Yardley stared into her eyes, a deep exhaustion masking his features.

"I don't want to fight with you, Scarlett."

Scarlett was on the verge of a breakdown, her voice turning hoarse.

"Let me go!"

But Yardley only tightened his grip on her wrists.

"No. We need to have a serious talk."

Scarlett was completely lucid. She knew she hadn't done anything wrong.

The only problem was that she had suddenly stopped being the obedient, accommodating wife, and Yardley simply couldn't handle the change.

"I have nothing to say to you, Yardley. I've already said everything that needed to be said."

"All that's left is for you to accept my resignation and sign the divorce papers."

Yardley's gaze turned glacial. "Divorce? Give me one good reason."

Scarlett looked away. "I just don't want to be with you anymore."
