Another breezy statement that carried no hint of emotions. It was as bland as though one was talking about the weather.
Tyler lowered his head and chuckled. No one knew why he was chuckling.
After a long time, he failed to hold back his emotions and eventually rushed up to the man.
Before the man could react, he raised his fist and hurled it at the man with great strength. As he was too furious, he did not go easy on his punches. Every hit was hurled with great force.
At first, I thought Susan would stop him or cry out for help, but she did not do anything and merely stood aside. She watched the two men brawl with indifferent eyes.
Theo stood in front of me, lest I was accidentally hurt by Tyler's maniacal attacks.
Seeing that Tyler nearly bashed the man to death, I was just about to cry out for him to stop when Susan finally spoke, “Let him go, Tyler. You can vent out on me if you're angry. He doesn't know anything."
Tyler stopped and looked at her with crimson eyes.
He then let go of the man and walked toward Susan.
After walking up to Susan, he spoke with some difficulty, "What exactly do you want?"
Tyler loved Susan, and I knew that a long time ago.
He was an extremely insecure person. As he had a fear of being abandoned by others, he did not allow himself to expect too much from a person in order to protect himself. I was no exception either.
However, Susan had ultimately turned into that exception. After years of companionship, he started having expectations toward Susan and was certain that Susan was someone who would never abandon him. Therefore, he grew fearless and started hurting Susan to confirm over and over again that she certainly would not leave him.
He loved Susan the wrong way.
He did not know that no matter how much a woman loved him and did not want to leave him, she would eventually be so hurt by him that she would stop loving him. When Susan saw no hope in him and knew that he would never respond to her in the way she hoped, she broke down and completely gave up. No one's love can withstand constant squandering.
