When alone, he would often be lost in thoughts or, as tonight, drowned his sorrows in drink.
This was a stark contrast to the lively man she had first encountered-a completely different persona.
His pitiful state tugged at Susie’s heart and ignited her sympathy, making her question the impulsive decision they had made.
Was it worth pursuing their marriage?
Narrowing her eyes, Susie blamed Miley for Neville’s depression.
If Miley were to disappear, would Neville be as energetic as before?
Susie sighed heavily, feeling burdened by the choice that lay before her. Confusion muddled her mind; she didn’t know what to do.
“I finally found you!” Out of the blue, a man’s voice broke into her thoughts and startled her.
Susie turned to find Damon, and her expression soured. He had been absent for quite some time.
Tossing her half-smoked cigarette to the floor, she confronted Damon with an irritated scowl. “Damon, how dare you show up here again?”
Damon shot her an icy glare and retorted through gritted teeth, “Bitch! You’re the reason I spent five days in custody. Why wouldn’t I dare to come?”
“I think you need to be locked up for longer,” Susie answered bitterly, standing her ground. “If you try to provoke me again, I’ll make sure you spend a lifetime behind bars.”
Anger coursing through his veins, he rushed forward and slapped Susie across the face. “Bitch!”
Trapped in his grasp, she felt completely powerless. The only thing she could manage was a desperate cry. “Help!”

A sharp cry pierced the air as Damon lunged to the floor.

Susie tumbled out of his hold, but just in the nick of time, someone caught her. When she realized it was Neville, a wave of relief washed over her, and she sought safety behind him.
His face contorted into a fierce expression, Neville confronted, “How dare you come back here?”
Damon pulled himself to his feet, gritted his teeth, and shot back, “Why shouldn’t I?”
Then, he turned his gaze to Susie with a sinister grin, declaring, “Sooner or later, I’ll have a taste of her.”
Upon hearing these hurtful words, Neville’s countenance darkened, and an icy aura enveloped him.
He fixed his gaze on Damon and uttered in a cold, unyielding tone, “Go ahead, give it a shot.”
Without hesitation, he advanced towards Damon, delivering a series of relentless kicks.
Initially, Damon put up some resistance, but gradually, he found himself unable to fight back.
