Is he really okay?


    Her mind was in a whirl with some strange thoughts, and she couldn''t think clearly.


    She knew exactly what he wanted to hear. She tried to calm herself down, but fear and anxiously secretly and quietly gnawed her heart.


    Finally, she bit her pale lip and clenched her fists, shouting, "Come out! I believe you! I believe you, okay?"


    These words had scarcely escaped her when a strong figure broke the surface of theke. Dn shook his head to flick off the water and then quickly swam to the shore. He climbed up to the bank and strode to her.


    "You finally believe me?" His eyes shed with a smile of triumph.


    As the words fell from his mouth, a stinging p came on his jaw!


    He covered his burning face, looking at the little woman in disbelief.


    "You self-absorbed ass! Listen, I cheat you up because I don''t want to take the responsibility if you died in front of me! Don''t hurt Kevin or y tricks again! I''m going to file a divorce with you, and I''ll go back to Italy and marry Kevin after our official divorce!" Savannah hated herself for still worrying about him. So, she said those hurtful words to let him give up and burned her own bridge.


    "Say that again." He looked terrible, his face stinging.


    Savannah shuddered at his extremely grim expression. The pain shown in his eyes somehow hurt her.


    "No matter what means you resort to, I''ll go back to Italy with Kevin soon," she plucked up her courage and said, "you said that you wouldn''t stop me if I want to get married to another man, right? Now I want to marry Kevin. Please honor your promise and divorce me."


    For Kaiden''s sake, she didn''t mind maintaining the marriage with him for the time being. But after what happened to Kevin, she didn''t want to put it off any longer. She didn''t want the man to think he could really do whatever he wanted!


    He reached out and wanted to pull her into his arms, but the hate that shed in her eyes annoyed him more.


    In a fury, he put his hands around her slender neck and stuck his thumb against her delicate skin.


    Savannah''s heart beat painfully in her chest. She knew her remark burned him up, and she could feel his grip on her neck was tightening slowly. She didn''t beg for mercy when he choked her but looked at him with restive eyes. Fresh air disappeared little by little, and she began to feel a loss of oxygen.


    Seeing that she would rather be choked to death than take back her words, he slowly let go of his hand. His anger was reced by a deadly coldness.


    She took the opportunity to push him aside, stepped back, and panted. Then a hint of sarcasm yed on her pretty lips.


    "You never keep your word," snapped Savannah.


    "What''re you going to do?"


    "We''ve been living separately since we got married," Savannah said coldly, clenching her fist. "We didn''t have a ceremony, and our marriage was invalid from the start. Even if you''re powerful, I can legally end our marriage. Since you don''t want a peaceful divorce, I''ll ask awyer to handle it for me when I get back to Italy..."


    "It seems that you study marriagew very thoroughly." His lips curved into a cool smile. She had been trying to figure out how to get a divorce.


    She stared at him, stubbornly.


    "If you didn''t make it difficult for me, why should I bother? Anyway, I''ll leave for Italy in a month, and I suggest we have a quick divorce. With your resources and contacts, you can do it, right? I left a divorce agreement with you three years ago, and I hope I can get a divorce certificate as soon as possible." With that, she turned around and ran away.


    Her indifference and cruel remark cut him deeply. He began to feel pain and covered his left face.


    Murmuring?his words, "You hurt me so much, three years ago, you left me alone and didn''t hear my exnation, maybe it''s about time to let go,"


    He stood still for a long time, wet and lonely before he slowly left for the side door of the main house.


    At the same time, Charlotte stood behind a pavilion not far away, looking after Dn as he left. Her face was white with shock.


    She couldn''t believe what she had seen. Dn jumped into theke for Savannah?


    She never imagined that Dn, such an integrated man, cool and remote to everyone, would act like a wayward and domineering boy in front of Savannah. He jumped into the coldke impulsively only to soften Savannah''s heart for her I-believe-you.


    Even if Kevin temporarily won Savannah''s heart and was with her, would Dn really let Savannah leave?


    Charlotte had been relieved to learn that Kevin and Savannah had established a romantic rtionship. Actually, Dn didn''t ask her toe to the party tonight; she knew that Savannah woulde, and she came on purpose to confirm that Savannah was really with Kevin.


    But seeing this scene, she was on edge again.


    It seemed that even if Savannah divorced Dn, went abroad, or was with another man, Dn would not let her go.


    Why?


    She had done so much, and even god was helping her-- Savannah left Dn and unexpectedly forgot him. Why was it still so difficult for her to be with him?


    She stood helplessly, like a lost soul. Her fingers sank into the palm of her hand, but she was not aware of pain.


    ***


    After returning home, Savannah was so exhausted that she sank herself on the sofa with closed eyes. After a short break, she put her hand and felt her neck, which was still burning with pain. Her fingers trembled as if she could still feel the anger of the crazy man.


    The ring of her cell phone drew her back. Kevin''s name was on the screen.


    She quickly adjusted her mood and answered, "Hi, Kevin."


    "Back?"


    "Yeah. Just got back." Nothing seemed to have happened to her.


    "Have a good rest. It''s gettingte." Kevin said gently. He just called to see if she was back safely.


    "Kevin, hold on." Savannah cried when he was about to hang up.


    "What''s up?"


    "I want to ask you something."


    "Go ahead."


    She tightly squeezed the phone, a little uneasy. What was she doing? Did she believe Dn''s words and doubt Kevin?


    "That morning you had a car ident… Dan said Dn had a meeting with you in JK. Later, you asked him to meet you in the garage alone, but you didn''t show up... why?"


    There was a moment''s silence, apanied by the man''s breathing, and atst, a gentle voice said, "Yes. I want to talk to him about you. But a client asked for me, so I didn''t go down."


    Savannah bit her lips. What was she doing? Doubting Kevin?


    "Well, I see," she felt a little guilty.


    "Did Dn say anything to you? What did he mean?" Kevin''s voice sounded not happy.


    "Nothing, Kevin. Whatever he said, I only believe you."
