“Chris! What are you doing?” Be eximed, flustered. She instinctively pushed against his shoulders.


    To Justin, her struggles seemed like ambiguous signals of


    eptance.


    Christopher remained silent, only hugging her tighter. He nced up


    once more, locking eyes with Justin.

    His expression was filled with tant mockery and arrogance. No


    matter how much Be struggled, he refused to let her go.


    Justin’s heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand knives.


    Every nerve in his body was taut as waves of agony washed over him. ut as waves of agony washed


    over him.


    Watching Be and Christopher embrace felt worse than being


    physically stabbed. The pain was far worsepared to the injuries


    he suffered as a soldier.


    Justin’s face drained of color as he turned away, stumbling back as if


    he had drunk too much. His body weakened.


    At that moment, Christopher’s arms loosened, and Be took the


    opportunity to break free. She stepped back, her eyes filled with anger.


    “Mr. Iverson, don’t ever do this again. Consider this your final warning. Otherwise, we won’t even be


    friends anymore!”


    “I’m sorry, Be. I truly am.”


    Christopher immediately put on an expression of innocence and guilt,


    his hands suspended in the air, looking incredibly embarrassed.


    “I know you only see me as a friend, and I’ve been trying to remind myself to maintain my boundaries.


    But I just lost control at that moment. I promise it won’t happen again. Be, please forgive me


    this time. I was just too emotional.”


    Be rubbed her forehead impatiently, letting out a heavy sigh. “I


    really hate it when men other than my brothers touch me. I hope your


    remember that.”


    Christopher clenched his teeth. His hands awkwardly hung by his


    sides with his fists clenched in frustration.


    He thought, ‘Do you really hate other men touching you? What about


    Justin? You even allow your secretary, Steven, to be near you. Is it


    just me that you can’t stand, Be?’


    “Thank you for your concern. It’ste, so I should go back now.”


    As she said that, she had a deja vu moment and slowly turned to look behind her, only to be


    disappointed that there was no one there.


    …


    Justin stumbled back to the vi, dragging his feet.


    “Justin!” Ryan was so concerned about his best friend that he didn’t


    leave with the rest of his family.


    When he saw Justin returning alone, looking lost and dejected, he hurriedly approached Justin.


    However, Justin did not even notice Ryan and walked forward in a


    daze.

    asking “Where’s Be? How did your conversation go Has she

    Justin’s bloodshot eyes were


    “Why should I seek her forgiveness


    Why should I ask for her forgiveness

    “Justin! Justin!” Ryan reached out and embraced him, anxiously


    asking, “Where’s Be? How did your conversation go? Has she forgiven you?”


    “Why should I seek her forgiveness? I haven’t done anything wrong. Why should I ask for her


    forgiveness?” Justin’s bloodshot eyes were


    calm yet hollow, as if he had lost his soul.


    “Ryan, I’m tired. No matter how hard I try to keep her, I can’t. No


    matter how much I chase after her, I can’t catch up. Perhaps it’s time


    to let her go.”
