Chapter 86: Removing Hassle
To Love You Again, My Husband
Chapter 86: Removing Hassle Jackson’s
Silence, and tranquility. Somehow, I felt in a distress. Standing on the rooftop, I crumpled the pictures in my left hand the best I could. Then, strongly, I threw them below the rooftop as I knew the more I see them, the angrier I became.
How far will I go to have Airina by my side and how far is she willing to take just to have revenge on me?
“… It’s a mess, truly a dramatic scene if I must say.” I ridiculed myself, sucking a deep breath.
Inadvertently, I turned around hearing the door to the rooftop softly opening. And there came my so-called ‘fiancee’, Elisa.
I lightly smiled at her, putting my hands inside my pockets, and waited until she was right in front of me.
“It’s been a long time, and this kind of reunion was the least I expected or wanted.” I greeted her as my mocking tone passed through her ears. She leaned her back on the railings, her face remained the same. I supposed I have to applaud her for her skill of staying as is even in a downhill situation.
“Did you believe that I’d just go along with your play alongside Matthew?”
I lifted my brow, “Oh, that day when I arranged a meet-up between you two? Oh, come on, I don’t need a thank you, but I want you to break this engagement.”
Elisa lifted her hand as the diamond ring shone under the moonlight. I frowned, squinting at the sight that her hand had a ring that I hate to see on someone else.
“Your mother gave a marvelous gift and… exceptional advantages. It’s a win-win, let’s be honest. Will you really settle with Airina when she has nothing to offer?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“What can you offer then?”
She locked gazes with me, “I am only yours, and so is the Montage group. If you got together with Airina, how would you benefit?”
I closed my eyes, “Marriage is not always for convenience-”
“I am doing this for the both of us.”
I smirked at her, “Truly, you don’t want me saying the opposite thing so I might just as well say that I am not interested in you even if we had to marry one another. Because I will find a way to divorce you.”
I wanted to walk past her, then I heard her say.
“How shameful it is that you have to go through two divorces, then. But are you really sure this marriage is just for me-”
I lifted my hand at her, shutting her up. “This marriage may only be for convenience in your case, but it is doubtlessly inconvenient to me; you are a trouble that I have to remove if I want to be with Airina,” I then laughed, remembering someone, “I should include Matthew as well in that list.”
“Matthew? Isn’t he in love with Airina?”
I frowned at her, “In love? Funny thing to say.”
I decided not to listen to her words despite that I was also full of doubts myself. I’ve already cleared my feelings with Airina, and so did she. I am certain that she has her reasons for doing this but… I felt like this was way too much.
We confessed and vowed but if this is how it goes on, how can I secure a future with her? Can I even do this?
I should probably get some booze and might as well drown the doubts I am having to clear up my mind. I may have been too occupied with lots of things.
After my divorce with Airina, I had reduced my consumption of alcohol. To be honest, sometimes I don’t even take a sip.
When I finally got my drink, someone I was familiar with graced my vision.
“… Lance?”
I frowned at him who lifted his hand as a greeting and lightly smiled at me. He gently patted my shoulder, sitting beside me and ordering himself his drink. Lance and I are college buddies. It’s been years since yet his looks didn’t change much.
“You almost didn’t have any glow-up dude,” I teased, nudging his elbow, “What’s gotten into you, by the way? I have never seen you drink before.”
He smirked at me, “Hopelessly in love, man. How are you doing? I’ve seen news about you and…”
I smiled, “How would you rate it?”
He laughed, “Full marks of 10, man. Well, how about you? What are you doing in this public place despite your fame?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Hopelessly in love man, got the same problem as you are.”
Then we laughed together, clinking our goblets in sync. Somehow, I gave his phone a passing glance and noticed his wallpaper.
I frowned, “Is that Nicole?”
Lance immediately turned his phone off, “… Ah, just some sort of hobby.”
Hobby? Lance and Nicole? How bold of him to hide this secret.
