The moment the door closed, he picked up the metal trash can in the corridor and swung it at Curtis’s head.
Curtis was hit so hard that his eyes went black and the soup from the vegetable leaves dripped down the ends of his hair.
He wiped his face with trembling hands and rushed forward to fight back.
Wally had already kicked him hard in the abdomen with a sidekick.
Curtis staggered and hit the wall and fell heavily to the ground, coughing up blood foam.
Curtis wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared, “Mad man! You hit people you speak?!”
Wally looked down at him and suddenly laughed.}

Wally leaned over and grabbed his hair.

“I am her childhood sweetheart, a man who has coveted her for more than ten years and you, Curtis’s nemesis!” Curtis suddenly jumped up. “You hooked up so early?”
Wally slapped him to the ground again.
“You dirty mouth. You called me a wild man yesterday and you’re quite capable? If she didn’t like you so much… do you think I would have let go five years ago?“}
As he said this, he lowered his voice and curled the corners of his lips.

“I have to thank you for not being good enough and now you push her back into my arms with your own hands,” Wally said, turned around and left.
Curtis stood up and wanted to follow, but two black–clad bodyguards immediately clamped him.
“Mr. Allen, the old man invites you.”
Curtis knelt in front of the Jesus statue, his whole body stiff.
He was most afraid of his grandfather in his life, but he had to do things that would make the old man angry.
The sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly.
Grandpa Marlon pressed his rosary beads, his voice was like ice.

“The Thompson Family came to cancel the engagement. In this life, I owe a favor that I can’t repay. Two ways.” The old man opened his eyelids and a cold light flashed in his eyes. “Either get out of the Allen Family, or remarry Kate and stay away from the Thompson Family girl from now on.”
Curtis didn’t think about it and kowtowed heavily.
“Grandpa, I won’t choose!”
The old man’s fingers suddenly tightened, but his face was calm.
“I will choose for you and you will be removed from the Allen family immediately.”
Curtis raised his head suddenly, looked at his grandfather’s unmoved face and kowtowed deeply again. “Okay.“}
The moment his forehead touched the ground, Curtis felt unprecedented relief.
He could leave the Allen family, but he couldn’t live without Sacha.
When he stood up, Kate, who had been hiding behind the prayer flags, called him.
“Curtis, you would rather be kicked out of the Allen Family than me? I love you so much, I did everything I could to get rid of Sacha for you. Why do you only have eyes for her?! Will you not even blink if I die?”
Curtis didn’t even look at her and walked straight out of the church’s hall.
Kate laughed sadly, suddenly stood up and ran toward the Jesus statue.
Grandpa Marlon signaled the bodyguard to stop her. “Don’t pollute the pure place of Jesus, please go out, Miss West.”}

During the days of hospitalization, Curtis came very frequently.
Sometimes he brought new styles of the season, saying that he was sending me a change of clothes.
Sometimes he brought an insulated box, saying that it was specially made by the chef at home to nourish the stomach.
Every time, Wally stopped me outside the ward with a cold face.
In the years we were together, he never cared about these little things.
He didn’t even remember my birthday, but he remembered Kate’s menstrual period.
I suddenly laughed out loud.
Wally, who was sorting out the discharge documents, looked up, somewhat puzzled.
