Chapter 998 Exaggerated Jealousy
Marie felt that perhaps she hadn’t understood the true meaning of transparency when her mother mentioned it.
Otherwise, why had things devolved into this situation?
Derrick: “I should beat him to death, for daring to look for you alone.”
Marie: “…”
Uh, well, this…!
The situation seemed to be getting out of hand.
Derrick: “You might not have feelings for him, but don’t you know he still has feelings for you?”
At that moment, Derrick’s jealousy was palpable.
Marie: “It doesn’t matter if he has feelings.”
“What if his relentless pursuit eventually works?”
There was nothing scarier than the word ‘what if.’
Dan was still alive after his own ‘what if‘ situation! Why couldn’t there be another ‘what if‘?
Derrick spoke with palpable annoyance.
Marie, who was usually a very strong–willed woman, rarely spoke softly,
But now she lowered her voice to appease Derrick: “Alright, alright, don’t be angry, okay?”
Derrick: “You shouldn’t have seen him.”
“But he came to see me. His car was blocking the road, and I couldn’t get past.”
Derrick: “You should have just run him over!”
Marie: “…”
He was getting wound up!
Could she actually manage to calm this man down tonight? My head is really starting to ache…
Derrick: “Couldn’t you have just turned around?”
“Fine, fine, my mistake. I’ll turn around next time.”
“You should run him over!”
Marie: “…”

Chapter 998 Exaggerated Jealousy
When this man decided to be wicked, women couldn’t hold a candle to him.
Secing Maric fail to answer, Derrick’s face grew darker: “Are you worried about him?”
“No, 1…”
“So, are you going to run him over or not?”
Marie: “I’ll run him over, alright? Will that satisfy you?”
This was exhausting.

Who said petty women were hard to appease? In her opinion, petty men were far harder, werert they?
Especially Derrick now; he looked utterly unappeasable.
Derrick: “Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“I don’t quite believe you.”
Marie: “…” My head is huge!
“Then what exactly do you want?”
Appeasing Derrick now felt like trying to placate an inconsolable woman. If you told him the truth, he didn’t believe it; if you tried to humor him, he didn’t want to hear it.
In short, impossible…
Derrick: “How about you go hit him right now?”
Marie: “No, you’re going too far.”
Go hit Dan now?
Even hitting someone needed a good reason, didn’t it? Hadn’t she hit Dan enough tim
ore?
If she were to hit Dan, no matter how much she hated him before, those repeated brutal beatings had mostly extinguished that hatred.
Hitting him now would clearly be without justification, and that wasn’t right!
And Marie’s single word, ‘far,‘ instantly punctured Derrick’s patience!
“You say I’m going too far?”
He looked at Marie, breathing rapidly.
Marie: “Ah, I…”
Derrick: “You said I’m going too far because of him? He’s trying to steal my wife, and after I beat him up, you say I’m going too far?”

Marie: “…”
Derrick: “Do you still have feelings for him?”
Marie: “I don’t, stop being difficult.”
Derrick: “You definitely do. You saw him alone and didn’t even turn the car round right away!
Marie: “…”
Derrick stopped listening to Marie, immediately restarted the car, and drove straight to the lawson residence.
Once there, he went directly to Evelyn to complain.
He pulled Evelyn over, saying: “Mom, you have to side with me on this! She’s pregnant and still meeting up with her ex!”
Help me, who can tell me why Derrick has become like this?
Was he seriously lodging a complaint right now?
I didn’t even do anything major…?
Evelyn nodded: “Mhm, I’ll talk to her.”
“No, Mom, the truth is…”
“You tell Derrick you won’t see Dan again,” Evelyn said seriously to Marie.
Marie: “I won’t see him, I won’t see him. But he’s the one who…”
“This whole thing is your fault. You should have turned around and left, or run him over,” Evelyn interjected.
