Looking at Karen Daly, Kevin Kyle suddenly lost control and shouted, "Karen, who do you think you are?"
Did she really think she could make him worry about her for the rest of his life?
Did she really think that he could not live without her?
Karen had just been busy with the design drafts and devoted herself to it, but with her laptop being smashed to the ground and hearing his angry voice, she brought herself back to reality.
As she saw how angry Kevin had gotten, Karen took two steps back in shock. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything at all.
She had thought of the situations that might play out once they had a conversation, but none of them was this current situation. She was afraid of him, but at the same time, she felt lost and confused.
She took two steps back, but Kevin took three steps forward. After several steps, she was pressed against the wall by Kevin.
"Kevin, I..." Karen was afraid of Kevin's look. She wanted him to let her go, but she stammered for a long time before finding the most suitable excuse. "We are divorced. Please let go of me first."
Her tone was panicked yet polite.
"Divorced? Let you go?" They hadn't talked to each other for a long time. But now, as they met again, she actually cited 'divorce' in her first sentence.
Kevin felt that he was about to explode. He almost lost his mind and wanted to punch Karen in the head.
Seeing Kevin's fist coming towards her, Karen was so scared that she trembled. She wanted to dodge it, but she couldn't, so she closed her eyes instinctively.
If she couldn't see how he hit her, maybe it wouldn't hurt that much.
However, Kevin's punch, which exhausted all the strength in his body, did not land on Karen, but it hit the wall behind Karen.
The wall was made of cement. Kevin's punch hit the wall with all his strength. His knuckles became instantly bloody.
He held Karen's chin hard. "Karen, open your eyes and look at me."
Karen shook her head.
She was scared!
She didn't dare to!
She was afraid to confront Kevin. She was afraid that all the strength she pretended to have would collapse once she saw him. So, she decided to be a coward.
"Karen, I told you to open your eyes and look at me. Can't you hear me?" Kevin shouted as he held Karen more tightly.
"It hurts!" The strength of Kevin's grip was getting stronger and stronger. Karen felt the pain and groaned instinctively.
"It hurts? So you know pain too?" Kevin sneered, but he still loosened the strength in his hands.
"Kevin, what, what the hell do you want to do?" This man, for some reason, suddenly came to her house and caused trouble today.
However, Kevin did not answer Karen's question. "Karen, do you think that just because I married you, I have to be responsible for you for the rest of my life?”
Karen bit her lips and whispered, "I've never thought so."
"You’ve never thought so? Do you know what you were doing all day long?" Kevin punched the wall again as he yelled out his frustrations.
"Your hand..." Karen was so scared that her face turned pale, but she still reached out to hold Kevin's injured hand. When she saw that he was injured, her heart also ached.
Kevin shook her hand off and said, "My hand is injured. Are you happy that I'm injured?"
Karen didn't know what to say.
