Shaking Roscoe’s arm, Doreen chirped, “Let’s go.”
Roscoe trailed behind numbly, lost in his thoughts.
Nicole got into Jarrod’s car, while Roscoe and Doreen stood nearby.
With a cheerful wave, Doreen bid farewell to Jarrod. “Bye, Jarrod!”
Jarrod nodded goodbye. Then, noticing how absentminded Nicole was next to him, he leaned over to help fasten her seat belt.
Nicole instinctively recoiled and snapped, “Jarrod, now that they’re gone, how much longer must we keep up this charade?”
“Charade?” For the first time that night, Jarrod had dropped all pretense and ki*sed Nicole hard. “Nicole, I’m fucking in love with you. Do you think I’m just acting like you are?”
Nicole was taken aback by Jarrod’s unexpected revelation. What had he discovered? Or…
Nicole’s turbulent thoughts overshadowed Jarrod’s forceful ki*ses.
Nicole’s plump, pink lips held an irresistible allure to Jarrod.

Even though Nicole was as unresponsive as a log, Jarrod was still crazy for her. He yearned for her, missed her, having spent endless nights foolishly in the company of a lifeless body that he assumed was her.

Jarrod simply accepted it even when he belatedly realized she had fooled him. Knowing she despised him, he had allowed her to express her anger. Sensing her wish to injure him, he’d willingly hand her the weapon when needed.
However, he would never tolerate her falling for someone else. Since she had spent the first part of her life in love with him, he wouldn’t complain even if she hated him to the core for the rest of her life. He was content as long as she was by his side.
But the thought of Nicole experiencing ordinary, daily life with another man abroad pained him deeply.
Jarrod had traveled to Swynborough, where Nicole once spent her days, and marked her new beginning without him.
Through his investigations, Jarrod learned that Nicole, using the alias Nell, had been leading a simple life there with a young academic. On weekends, they would stroll in the park, feed pigeons in the plaza, and go grocery shopping together. Moreover, they had a child! Nicole had actually started a family with that man!
According to the neighbors, they seldom brought the child outside, having only glimpsed the child from afar once. The child was slender and small, seemingly not yet three years old.
Jarrod scoffed. While he endured sleepless nights filled with agony under the thought of her passing away near the cliff, Nicole was enjoying a mundane existence with another man. They deceived him together.
This realization made Jarrod feel as though the towering buildings in his mind were crumbling swiftly. It drove him to want to shatter everything, on the verge of being insane.
Jarrod’s icy, slim lips forcefully invaded Nicole’s. Finally, Nicole abruptly came to her senses, pushing Jarrod forcefully.
“Mmm!” Nicole’s fingernails left a deep, bloody scratch on Jarrod’s face, yet she still couldn’t stop him.
Jarrod resembled as wild as a creature possessed, driven by a desire to destroy everything around him.
Nicole bit down hard on his lip, and in response, Jarrod clutched her jaw so tightly it seemed he might dislocate it.
Nicole’s eyelashes quivered, and tears streamed down her face. Her eyes, red and tear-filled, radiated a tragic beauty.
