Chapter 253 - Her Husband (One)

"Bryan..."

"Speak!" Bryan shouted, gripping her left arm as he completely loosened his patience for her. "What more lies do you hide under your thick skin!?"

Before Eva could answer, Hailee cut her in.

"Tsk. Tsk…. Better not lie, Eva," she smirked before she withdrew her gaze to Eva, then turned her attention to Bryan. "Too bad. You never find out until now that Miss Lan is a married woman, Bryan."

"Don't believe her, Bryan! She's the one who is lying! She hates me because you keep coming back to me! Now she is making up a story!"

Eva thought she could make Bryan believe in her. But she's wrong. Bryan frowns.

"Really, Eva? I keep coming back to you? It was you who is making up a story now! Is this what you tell Hailey? That's why she never gives me a chance to explain myself? Answer me!?"

"Why can't you believe me in just this one, Bryan?" Eva welled up. She covered her face with her palm and cried. She wanted to show Bryan how to hurt her was the way he treated her.

"Why would I? Tell me!? You have been caught, Eva! Even in your pregnancy, you lied to me! Then what's there to believe you? How long have you been fooling me!?" Bryan roared.

"Bryan, you're hurting me... Please, release my arm." Eva pleaded, pulling her arm from his grip. She can't feel her arm anymore, but the pain of how numbed at the part Bryan grabbed her.

But he turned deaf. Eva kept pleading, but Bryan came off ruthlessly and gave her no chance to explain further. Instead, he narrowed his gaze. Bryan's eyes were telling her that he was ready to kill her at this very moment.

But she is determined... She needs to get away from this!

"Bryan, listen to me. It was just an arranged marriage to pay Huo and save our company! It's all Liam's ordered me to do, or else, he'll kill us all!"

"Oh, yeah? But I give you money to pay your debts! That night, I met you in the hotel to hand you the money. But what have you done!? You drugged me to fuck you!"

"Because I missed you, and I love you; that's why I did all of that, Bryan..." Her reasonings that Bryan didn't give the crap to listen.

"How long already? Answer me!" he shook Eva's body, his eyes burning in anger. Eva cannot open her mouth from fear that Bryan can be violent than this.

"It's been three years." It was Hailey who replied.

Once again, it shocked him.

'Three years were not fucking just yesterday!' Bryan screamed.

He pressed his eyelids, cheering himself to calm down. Maybe he could not control his emotion, and he could slap Eva with all his strength. Not long, he opened his eyes and looked at Hailey with tenderness; his lips smiled bitterly.

He has been a big asshole ever since.

He looked up at the ceiling, staring at the chandelier. He releases Eva from his hold, but Eva encircles her frail arm around his waist and begs him to give her a chance to explain.

But he has no time for her shit anymore.

"Let go, Eva."

His voice is cold and full of threats. Eva knew Bryan could do shit if he wanted to, but she also knew that he wouldn't lay his hand on her because she is now pregnant.

Bryan has a temper; she knew that very well; the reason she hated Hailee to the extreme was that he could only be too gentle and sweet to her. He treated her like a fragile, precious gem.

Bryan loses his head every time she makes a phone call and asks him to go home. He is the ultimate servant of this girl!

But Bryan would make it like just in the neighboring city! Make a round trip within less than 48 hours! That even he'll fly a thousand miles away knowing he has his exam in a couple of days.

So who's girlfriend would not hate that kind of attention given to someone else?

Your boyfriend can make time for somebody else but never for you! And yes! The only thing she could do during those times was fret and chase Bryan around.

If she doesn't do that, there will never be a relationship to call on—honestly, all these years, only she works out to keep this relationship in one piece.

But she won't give up. She loves Bryan very much. And if it isn't for that girl, she and Bryan are supposed to be happy now! But till the end, her efforts aren't enough for Bryan!

Eva pulled her arms from Bryan; she turned around to face Hailee. And before Bryan can get a hold of her, she already dashed out toward Hailee.

She stepped backward, but it was what Eva aimed, to push Hailee.

Before she falls, a muscular arm catches her waist and pulls her close to his body. Hailee's eyes glowed. Suddenly, she felt like in a fairytale that was saved by her prince in time she needed him most.

Eva was like seeing a grim reaper, haunting her at this very moment that it was her dead end. Her face looked like running out of blood as it turned pale like a ghost.

"Vincent!?"

The guy stared at her with cold eyes. No emotion exhibits on his face, but a total stranger is staring at someone. There is no familiarity at all.

Vincent withdrew his gaze to fix his eyes on Hailey. Now he had a better look at the cheek Eva had slapped earlier. Upon seeing the red marks, Vincent gritted his teeth as anger exploded on his nerves.

"Let me see it." He reached out for Hailey's cheek and rubbed it gently.

"Vincent, what are you doing here? Do you know that girl?" asked Eva, with confusion written all over her face.

Vincent only ignores her but continues examining Hailee's face. "I told Tim to get an ice pack," he said.

"I hate seeing someone lay their hands on you. I want them to disappear in an instant." He added. His jaw tightened from the fury that threatens to explode soon.

Listening to his comforting tone, Hailee couldn't hold the emotion that suddenly struck inside her chest. She was only fighting it the entire time she talked to Eva, as she would never show her weakness this time.

And now, having Vince on her side made her too emotional she can't control.

After she learns she is pregnant, she does some research on the situations she will encounter.

Swing moods are at the top of the list as symptoms in her pregnancy. She will be emotional such as suddenly get upset about little things, then cry over minor issues.

Or upset over minor issues, then cry about little things. She would just imagine that; it feels like a crazy adventure.

"Hubby... Do you know that Miss Lan is always bullying me? I did nothing to her, but she is constantly lashing me out even in our past encounters," she purred at Vince.

Vince moves his gaze, casting a glare at Eva as he utters, "She and Zenaida cannot do better in their life but feeling superior toward other people. Whatever words coming from their mouth is never noteworthy. Do you understand me?"

Eva couldn't believe what she heard.

Her nominal husband is intimately holding Hailee in his arm, and now she is calling him hubby? Like, what the fuck?

"What is going on, Vincent?" She asked in an accusing tone.

Vincent lifted his head and turned in Eva's and Bryan's direction. He narrowed his gaze, as he didn't like the way his nominal wife sounded.

"What gives you the right to question me? Did I ever question your relationship with another man, even after we got married? No, Eva. I didn't give you such requirements to be my nominal wife, but let you continue living with your boyfriend or have a relationship with whoever you like! Now, don't use that accusing tone of yours!" Vincent sneered.

And in the middle of their heated argument, Bryan snaps.

"What is going on here?!"

He was the most confused and lost in this encounter. It appears that Eva knew Vincent, and he is not deaf. He heard clear and loud every word Vincent threw at Eva.

The truth is crying out loud.

They were married!

But Hailey is in a relationship with Vincent Shen, who is a married man. Then that means she is a mistress!

He thought nothing could shock him again after he learned Eva was married. But now, he is horrified that Hailee is in an affair with a married man. How did it all happen, for god' sake!?

"Hail… Do you know Eva is married to Vincent?" he asked Hailey after a long thought.

Hailey replied, "Yes and no."

Eva gawked at her. She began mulling over the situation that they have now. It never occurred to her that a possibility, Hailee and Vincent, would cross paths. But how?

Eva let out a loud laugh. To anyone who can hear her outside, they would think she is losing her mind.

"I see… I get it now! You dug into my life so that you can take revenge on me!"
