Chapter 84: Mutually Destructive

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Who exactly is the man that you like?’

Timothy posed that question toward Samantha without warning, causing her black pupils to shrink slightly as her long curly eyelashes began trembling uncontrollably.

He stared at her without blinking and was not about to let any of her expressions escape his scrutiny. He even added another remark, “If you tell me who it is, I’ll believe every single word you said tonight!”

If he would believe her as long as she told him, she could just lie to him or give him the runaround and be done with it...

Samantha gulped unconsciously.

Back when she told Old Madam Barker that she had a man she liked, it was nothing more than a spontaneous lie. No such man existed at all, so what did he expect her to say?

When it came to men that she liked, there was only one person—the one in front of her right at that moment.

At least, that was all in the past. She had liked Timothy very, very much. It was not just one ‘very’; it was very, very much.

Was she supposed to answer that the man she liked used to be Timothy?

If that was her answer, he would probably make fun of her and say something unpleasant to embarrass her!

However, she did not dare to just make someone up on a whim. After all, that would be the kind of lie that would be exposed with ease. It was pointless to do that due to the greater trouble that she would be in.

Seeing her silence, Timothy’s hostility became much heavier and he held Samantha’s wrist even tighter than before. The pain was so great that her forehead was sweating uncontrollably.

The man’s voice was as cold as ice. “Spit it out!”

Samantha felt resentful too. What right did he have to ask her when he never even spared a day to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband in their marriage?

She endured the pain, looked up at him, and replied fearlessly, “In short, the man I like isn’t Dr. Sherwood. There is nothing between us! We’re both completely clean.”

Her tone was firm and convincing, but she did not answer his question directly.

Timothy frowned. He had opened his mouth to say something when he heard a phone notification.

His cell phone was already destroyed so the tone must have come from Samantha’s cell phone.

He thought of something and immediately took out the phone from Samantha’s pocket with his other hand. Glancing quickly at it, he saw a lit-up screen displaying the WeTalk message sent by that ‘Dr. Sherwood’.

Samantha wanted to stop him, but Timothy was quicker and used her finger to unlock the phone. He then clicked on the WeTalk app.

After that, he saw that Samantha had pinned Alan’s chat at the very top.

Timothy’s lips curled up but it was not the kind of smile that spanned across his face.

Samantha blocked Timothy’s cell phone number and never even added him on WeTalk, yet she pinned her so-called ordinary friend ‘Dr. Sherwood’ at the very top of her WeTalk.

Moreover, she avoided answering the most important question of who was the man that she liked!

She seemed unwilling to make up a lie even though she was so good at lying...

The sum of all incidents proved to Timothy that he was right. Alan was that stud Samantha liked, and she liked him so much that she was reluctant to even tell a single lie!

Samantha saw the situation and opened her mouth in an instinctive attempt to explain. However, a loud bang soon ensued and her cell phone was smashed against the wall.

It split into two right away.

Timothy looked at her viciously with a gaze that carried murderous intent. “Is this the ordinary friend you were talking about?”

Samantha looked on in shock and the word that came to her lips ended up stuck.

As long as Timothy was willing to believe her words and explanations, they might not reach a point where they were so averse to each other.

He was not going to believe what she said anyway!

Samantha closed her eyes and held back the sourness that was appearing in her eye sockets. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes, the depths of which were already dark and lifeless.

She said in an almost numb manner, “You can assume whatever you want to assume, Timothy. Let me go. I’m going back to the hospital!”

When she said that, she jerked her hand away without waiting for Timothy to respond, but his hand wrapped around her wrist like an iron chain and she could not free herself at all.

Unable to pull her hand away, she pried his fingers open, then opened her mouth without hesitation to bite down on his arm.

All she wanted was to stay away from him. She did not want to look at him, nor did she want to remain in the same room as him anymore.

Timothy snorted but did not let go of her. Instead, he grasped tighter and spoke in a very sarcastic voice. “Go back to the hospital? Or are you going to have a private meeting with that stud with the excuse of taking care of your baby brother?”

“Hahaha.” Samantha was surprised that she could still laugh at that time. He was not the only one who could use words to hurt people!

“Don’t keep saying ‘stud, stud, stud’. All I’m doing is just playing along with your act, right? What’s wrong, Mr. Barker? Are you getting a bit too much into character? Did you end up falling in love with me for real?

“You’d better not. I can’t accept this ‘love’ of yours. I’ll say the same thing I said before. If you think I’m an eyesore and you can’t stand me, you’re free to sign the divorce papers. I can go with you to the registry anytime!”

‘Divorce.’

She initially wanted a divorce long ago but compromised to play pretend for her little brother’s sake.

When the man she liked finally showed up, she was willing even to leave her baby brother behind. The only thing in her mind was divorcing him as quickly as possible so she could stay with that stud.

Timothy’s eyes became completely red and an abnormal danger began to surface. His reason disappeared in the blink of an eye and his expression gradually showed traces of insanity.

Samantha could keenly sense that his state of mind was not quite right as his dangerous aura was being too strongly suppressed. She raised her foot all of a sudden and kicked his lower body, trying to break free of his grip.

She did not see Timothy’s movements, but not only did he avoid her attack, he even pushed her right onto the big bed behind him. Then, his tall body covered her from above and she was pressed down firmly under him.

Samantha’s heartbeat quickened right away and she trembled, “What do you want to do, Timothy?”

The man’s extremely sullen face loomed above her and he chuckled in a low voice. When he spoke in the same low voice, every single word sent chills down one’s spine.

“I warned you before, Samantha. If I ever see you seducing anyone outside, I won’t be nice to you anymore.

“You don’t take my words seriously at all. Looks like I’ve been too kind to you.

“You want a divorce? Between the two of us, you don’t have the final say!”

As he uttered those words, he grabbed her clothes and pulled them apart forcefully. A tearing sound ensued and her clothes were torn.

Goosebumps inevitably appeared on her body when her skin came into contact with the air.

She finally realized what Timothy was going to do and fear crept onto her face. Her struggles became more frantic and she exerted even more strength. She kicked him, pushed him, and bit him, utilizing any and every method she could think of.

The strength disparity between men and women was very different to begin with, and Timothy had even greater strength when he was enraged. She could not make him budge at all and was unable to stop him.

“Go away, Timothy!” Samantha’s voice carried shock and anger.

Timothy curled his lips cruelly. “Have a good look at who your husband is, Samantha!”
