He didnt have to be mad to be intimidating , and no one could be bold enough to look him in the eye . I lowered my head , my body tensed up . Shaun walked over to me , his shadow enveloping me . I tried to organize my words . Chapman , its not my fault . She … I could no longer utter a word . Purchase completed Because he bent down and hugged me . He wrapped his arms around my waist so tightly that I could even hear my bones cracking . I felt the fabric on my shoulder getting damp My mind went blank . Was he … crying ? Mona . Mona … He repeated my name again and again in a broken voice , his body trembling all over . Yes , its me . Chapman , let go ! I pushed him away . Thalias eyes were utterly red as she complained to him hysterically . Shaun ! Look at what shes done ! She totally beat Laura and me up ! I immediately explained myself , They started it . Chapman , I … Again , I didnt get to finish . Because he suddenly bent over and picked me up . Throughout this whole time , his gaze fixed on me , and he didnt even shoot Thalia a glance . He sized me up from head to toe , his eyes filled with ecstasy , astonishment , as well as bitterness as if I were some lost treasure . Dont be afraid , Mona . I will never let anyone hurt you again . Are you injured ? As his gaze fell on my reddened knuckles , it darkened immediately . What are you waiting for ? Get the medical team to be here with a stretcher and call an ambulance ! With that , he strode outside with me in his arms . His tone was urgent , and he looked nervous , which almost made me wonder if Id die at any second . Hang in there , Mona . The ambulance will be here right away .

What if Shaun asked me for a refund when he found those notebooks were damaged ? Its you . Shauns tone was utterly icy as he clenched his fists . I should have known . Its been a while , Arnold . Arnold wrapped his arm around my shoulders , his gaze sweeping over me . He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming I wasnt hurt . Sneering , he looked at Shaun . Chapman , you and I dont know each other well . Today will be the last time we see each other . My fiancée gets anxious around people , especially strangers .
