Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1326 Stop Acting Like Whore

Once they reached the elevator, Jake pulled his hand from Noah’s hold. Noah said nothing and waited till they reached the apartment. 

Entering the apartment, Noah finally looked at him and asked, “You left without saying anything. Where have you been and why did you avoid me?

Jake chuckled, “You really don’t know?”

”No, I don’t. We have fought even before but you never acted like this,” Noah replied. 

”Because I am done pretending now. I don’t want to be just your friend,” Jake answered him.

It didn’t affect Noah’s decision, “We have talked about it and you know it’s not possible. Don’t ruin our friendship for this.”

Jake glared at him mockingly, “Ohh, so you expect me to be your friend and see you getting different girls in your bed?”

Noah exclaimed, “Jake…”

”Don’t pretend you care, Noah. I am sorry for showing up suddenly and ruining your night with that girl.”

Noah tried to explain, “It’s not what you think, Jake….”

”Then what is it, huh? When will you stop being whore?” Jake raised his voice as he stepped towards him. 

It angered Noah, “Did you just call me whore?”

”Yes, I did. So….”

Punch! 

A strong punch hit Jake’s face and the corner of his lip started bleeding. As if it didn’t hurt at all, Jake stood still as he touched the corner of his hurt lips. 

Noah held him by the collar of his jacket and pushed him back at the wall. “Do you dare call me that?” his eyes burned with anger He greeted his teeth and said, “Stop acting like a victim. if you call me that, then fine.” Gritting his teeth, he continued, “But It’s all your fault for what I am today. It’s you who made me like this. You..damn it…you are at fault.”

It took Jake by surprise and looked into his hurt looking eyes, “Noah….”

”Don’t you dare say my name you bloody royal hypocrite,” Noah was angry to hear even a single word. “You were ashamed of it that you even ignored me and let others bully me. Do you even know what they did with me? Do you have any idea what…I..had gone through? And here you claim to love me…Do you even deserve to do so?” Noah’s eyes turned teary as his voice choked.

Seeing him so hurt, Jake tried to speak, “Noah…” 

tightning the grip of his hands on his collar, he said, “I told you not to say my name. At that time I called you so many times. Where were you huh? You avoiding me hurt me more than what they did with me. It hurts Jake but you won’t understand. Seeing you in front of me reminds me of it even more. Seeing you is like torture for me. Do you get it?”

”I…am….”

”Don’t you dare say sorry? It won’t make any difference to me,” Noah let go of his collars and turned around as he could not stop his tears, “Though I was hurt, I waited for you. I was wondering where you went. Then you showed up after a month and acted as if nothing happened. How can you….?”

Jake could only look at him helplessly. “Noah…Will you listen to me…”

Noah turned to look at him, “No I won’t. Whatever explanation you have, it doesn’t matter now. You are too late. There won’t be anything between us other than being friends. Don’t even try to be anything more.”

Jake stood frozen in his place while Noah said, “Don’t ruin our friendship. This is the last time I am warning you.” Not giving him a chance to say anything, Noah went to his room. 

He closed the door and all the anger and strong front he was maintaining in front of Jake broke away in a second. He went to the bed and sat with his head lowered and face buried in his palms as he could not help his tears. 

”We can never be like before…never…I can never forget that day…You broke my trust and I hate you for it…”

Jake could only see Noah leaving, and once the door to his room was closed, Jake walked towards the sofa and sat helplessly, leaning back on the sofa and brushing his hands through his hair. 

”I was late at that time…I am sorry…” was what he said and continued sitting there. 

In half an hour, Noah came out of the room with a bag. He said nothing to Jake and Jake didn’t know what to say to him. Before leaving, finally, Noah spoke, “I am leaving for London tonight with Lu Lijun. When I see you there, I don’t wish to hear any nonsense from you or we will be done forever.”

Jake only nodded, while Noah left.

In Lu Mansion, Lu Lijun was also ready to leave. Ning Jiahui and Lu Jinhai came to see him off to the car. 

”Take care and call me once you reach,” Ning Jiahui said. 

Before sitting in the car, out of habit his sight passed the second floor but there was no one and even the lights in the room were off. She was not there and Lu Lijun was not disappointed even as he had not expected her to not see him off.

Lu Lijun nodded and left after saying bye to his parents. 

——

Jiang Yuyan came to the balcony as she was standing behind the glass doors in the dark. She didn’t wish for Lu Lijun to see her. Seeing him leaving, she felt the same pain when he left ten years back. This time the emptiness she felt was stronger and she knew why it was like this. She needed to stop herself and the change in her feelings that scared her. She wanted to run away from it at any cost.

Once the car disappeared from her sight, she returned to the bed and picked up her cellphone. She called Xiao Min. 

”Tomorrow, arrange my meeting with Mr. Alex,” she instructed.
