Bang, bang, bang
Listening to the urgent knocking sound outside the door, Liam put down the half–peeled fruit in his hand and glanced at Ruth who was taking a shower in the bathroom. He got up and walked to the door.
As the door was pulled open, Garrett’s face, filled with extreme anxiety, came into view, with a hint of intriguing expression flickering in his eyes.
“Who are you?”
Garrett’s mind and eyes were filled with only one thing – finding Ruth. He didn’t even bother to look at anyone and was about to barge into the living
TOOL
“Make way!”
Watching his impatient movements, Liam held a fruit life in his hand, wiped his eyes with it, and crossed in front of him, blocking his way.
“This is a private residence, if you insist on breaking in, you will have to bear the consequences.”
Seeing the sharp blade in between, Garrett finally regained some sanity.
He took two steps hack, lifted his incredibly

“This is my house! You are the one who trespassed into the residence, right? Who are you?”

question.
“Who was your fiancée?”
Liam was waiting for this
question.
He took back the dagger, gently blowing away the dust on it, and looked at Garrett with a sideways glance.
The
were filled with undisguised pride and joy.
“It is just…”
“How come you are here?”
Upon hearing Ruth’s voice, both of them turned around.
Liam instantly retracted his previously arrogant demeanor and became as docile as a cat with trimmed claws.
“Ruth, this person suddenly barged into the house, I reckon he was probably a thief, should I just call the police?”
His face changed faster than flipping through a book, leaving Garrett completely stunned
As soon as he caught her gaze, he instantly snapped out of it and hastily called out, “Ruth
Ruth never expected that she would encounter a battlefield when she came out of the shower and ran into her ex–husband and flanch.
She wiped the water droplets off her hair and walked to the door, her voice faint.
“What are you here for? Didn’t I say to contact my lawyer if there’s anything?”
