Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 379

"If you really want me to be happy, then let go of me right now..."

In the heat of the struggle, neither of them noticed Ursa had scrambled up from the ground.

She was completely enraged by their conversation. What do they take me for? An idiot? A ghost? Some invisible bystander?

Smack!

Out of nowhere, Ursa slapped Eleanor across the face.

Her expression twisted with jealousy as she lunged forward, trying to grab Eleanor's hair, but Kayden quickly stepped in and stopped her.

Ursa screamed, "Eleanor, have you no shame?! Who do you think you are?!

"Kayden is practically begging you, and you still dare to reject him?!"

She was losing her mind with jealousy. She'd chased Kayden for so long, and he'd never once looked her way.

What right did a nobody like Eleanor have to reject him?

This ungrateful bitch! Ursa screamed inside, unleashing all her hatred and rage on Eleanor.

Smack!

Caught off guard, Ursa was slapped hard across the face.

The force knocked her to the side. Her ears rang, and her cheek burned with pain.

Tears instantly streamed down her face as she clutched her cheek, staring at Kayden in shock.

He actually hit me for that scheming woman.

Her voice trembled. "Kayden... you actually hit me? I was standing up for you! She doesn't give a damn about you!

"I'm the only one who truly loves you, Kayden! I won't let anyone treat you like trash or look down on you!

"But you... Sob..."

Kayden shook out his hand, his face dark.

He was already furious from Eleanor's rejection.

And hearing that she liked someone else? That nearly set him off.

Now, Ursa, like a stubborn stain you couldn't wash off, kept getting in the way, time after time, ruining things between him and Eleanor.

She'd had the nerve to slap Eleanor right in front of him.

He'd had enough. He walked over to Ursa slowly, looking down at her with cold eyes.

"Ursa, you must have a death wish. You actually laid a hand on her in front of me?

I'm warning you. Next time you cause trouble for her, it won't be just a slap."

Ursa sobbed, crumpled on the ground. Then she lunged and grabbed onto Kayden's leg, clinging tightly as she tried to explain.

"Kayden, listen to me! I just can't stand seeing you treated like that. You're amazing! Why does she get to reject you?"

Kayden kicked her off and said coldly, "That's none of your business. I love her. From now on, stay the hell away from me!

"If you bother her again, I'll make sure you regret it!"

"He... he'll fall for me eventually!"

Duncan let out a cold laugh.

"I knew it! It was him! Ursa, just wait. I'm going to settle this with him right now!"

"No!!" Ursa shouted and grabbed Duncan with all her strength.

"It wasn't him! It was Eleanor, that bitch! She bullied me and even hit me!!"

Duncan's expression changed instantly.

"What?! Eleanor? Is she tired of living? She actually laid a hand on you? Damn!"

Duncan didn't really know Eleanor personally. He just heard Ursa cursing her out every time he came home.

He knew she was someone Ursa hated, and the girl Kayden loved.

As far as he knew, she was just a nobody with no family connections to speak of.

Usually, he couldn't care less about girl drama.

But this? A nobody from an ordinary background actually dared to lay a hand on a rich family's daughter?

Now that was just asking for trouble.

Did she really think she could walk all over people just because Kayden was backing her up?

Duncan hated Kayden to begin with, he thought the guy was a total joke.
