Noah also heard the noise outside.
The smile on his face faded the moment he saw Wynette. His face turned cold.
His eyes held blame and clear displeasure.
Wynette noticed his gaze too. She stood behind Kaylee with no expression on her face.
"Noah, Wynette was being childish. I brought her here to say sorry to you." Kaylee forced a flattering smile, her tone full of pleading.
As she spoke, she pushed Wynette forward until she stood right in front of Noah.
Noah only watched the scene coldly. He had no plan to speak.
He was waiting for Wynette to apologize first.
In the past, every time they fought, wasn't Wynette the one who gave in first and tried to please him?
This time would be the same.
Thinking about that, Noah's mood eased a little.
Seeing Wynette stay silent, Kaylee pushed her arm. "Wynette, hurry and apologize."
She gave her a sharp look.
Wynette only curled her lips. "Apologize for what? Noah, you're the one who keeps breaking promises, not me. Since you can't let go of Lorelei, then fine. I'll step aside for you two."
She met Noah's unhappy gaze and kept talking. "Noah, aren't you tired going back and forth between two women? I'm tired just watching it. What's the point?
"If you can't let go of Lorelei, you could've told me. I'm not someone who clings to people. I didn't do anything wrong, so I won't apologize, and breaking up is a choice I made after thinking it over."
Noah's face was already full of anger, but Wynette didn't care anymore. "How you and Lynette want to act out your sad love story is your business. I'm not that cheap to be part of your little game.
"Honestly, it makes me sick," Wynette said it without holding back.
As soon as she finished, Noah exploded with anger. "Wynette, there's nothing between Lorelei and me. It's not as dirty as you think. Even if you're mad, there should be a limit.
"You're a woman too. How can you talk about Lorelei like that? Do you know how important a woman's reputation is? I want you to apologize to Lorelei."
As he spoke, Lorelei started crying again. "Wynette, how could you say that about me? Even if you don't believe me, you believe Noah, right?"
"Yes, Noah and I dated before, but that's all in the past. He is only helping me as a friend. Even if you're upset, you can't joke about my reputation."
Lorelei's face turned red from crying. "Wynette, why are you trying to ruin my name like this? Fine. I won't trouble Noah anymore. I'll stay away from both of you, okay?
"You spread rumors about me. You have to apologize. I... I..."
Before she could finish, Lorelei's face turned pale, and she fell back onto the hospital bed.
She fainted just like that.
Seeing Lorelei faint, Noah's face changed right away. He quickly pressed the call button.
Doctors and nurses rushed in. After checking her, they said Lorelei had only fainted from anger and wasn't in serious danger. Soon, they left the room.
Noah glared at Wynette with a dark face. Before she could even react, he raised his hand and swung at her.
Wynette reacted fast and stepped back.
She could have avoided the slap.
But Kaylee behind her noticed her move. She blocked Wynette's path and even pushed her toward Noah.
Smack!
A loud slap rang out.
The truth was, Noah had already regretted it when he raised his hand.
For a moment, anger had taken over his mind.
When his hand went out, he had already planned to pull it back.
But Wynette suddenly stumbled toward him.
The slap still landed on her face.
Noah's hand froze in the air. "I..." he muttered.
He wanted to say he didn't mean it.
But when he saw Wynette's face turned to the side, with the clear handprint on her cheek, all the words stuck in his throat.
