“Let her go.”
Hannah paused in her struggle and looked up.
Today, Bryson wore another one of his tailored black suits over a black cotton shirt, though the lack of tie made him look more rugged than usual.
He reached out, and Hannah felt his warm hand grasp hers before she fell into his familiar embrace. The scent of sandalwood hit her Like a wave washing over her entire body.
Declan froze upon seeing Bryson, but he wasn’t about to back down.
“Mr. Mitchell…”
Bryson cut him off with a cold glare.
“You’re manhandling my girlfriend in the middle of a public event. Is this how a dignified man should act?”

“Apologize?” Bryson looked down at Hannah’s wrist. Her skin was already turning red where Declan had seized her.
“Is this how you express a sincere apology?”
Declan gritted his teeth and tried his best not to sneer. He faced Hannah again and bit out, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have grabbed you like that. I was too impulsive.”
Hannah placed her free hand on Bryson’s arm.
“Forget it,” she said softly, not wanting to deal with her ex-husband for a second Longer.
Bryson smiled as he felt her lean against his chest.
“So, this counts as an apology, then?”
Declan practically growled, but he didn’t dare to go against Bryson outright.
“What else do you want? I’ve apologized, and she told you to let it go…”
Instead of answering him, Bryson picked up a glass from the nearest table and smashed it against the wooden edge.
Crack!
Glass shards rained on the floor.
Needless to say, the sound attracted everyone’s attention.
“What was that? What’s happening?”
