Chapter 509:
She paused, though her voice stayed sharp. “How could Kailey possibly be fine? She’s thin, worn down, and barely has any color left. Every day she just drifts around, like someone stuck waiting for a man who never comes back. And you? What have you been doing this whole time p>
Her description leaned toward exaggeration, yet it wasn’t completely wrong. Kailey really hadn’t been well. That thought only made Jessica angrier. “I honestly don’t get it. If you don’t love her anymore, why not end it properly? Let her go. That way, you both can move on instead of trapping each other like this p>
Beneath the streetlights, Kyson stood half in shadow. His voice came quietly. “That’s on me p>
Jessica gave a short nod. At least he wasn’t clueless.
Then he spoke again. “But I won’t leave her p>
Jessica let out a harsh laugh. To her, he was stubborn beyond reason. “Then what are you even doing?” she retorted. “Candice is nothing but trouble. What do you see in her? Where does Kailey fall short in comparison?” Her words came faster and sharper, sliding closer to outright insults.
Neither man interrupted her. They simply stood there and listened.
“What, can’t talk now?” she snapped. “Say something p>
The wind kicked up, whipping her hair across her face, and her irritation flared even hotter. Just as she was about to explode, Kyson finally spoke.
“I need to take care of something. While I’m gone, please watch over her. Make sure she eats and rests.” Since Jessica could enter Lyman’s villa, she had to be someone he trusted. Kyson looked at her steadily, his gaze deep and unwavering. “I’ll come for her. Please tell her to wait a little longer p>
Those words only made Jessica bristle all over again. “Wait? For what?” she snapped, teeth clenched. “Who do you think you are? Why should she wait just because you tell her to? Let me make this clear — she won’t wait. I’ll find a new man for her p>

Before she could finish, Jessica felt herself lifted off the ground.
A startled cry slipped out as she grabbed onto Devin’s shoulder for balance. “Are you out of your mind? Put me down p>
Devin had already slung her over his shoulder and started walking. He had no intention of letting her continue. She’d said more than enough, and dragging this out would only cause more trouble.
Kyson watched with a narrowed gaze. “Make sure she gets home safely.” In her current mood, there was no way she should be behind the wheel.
“Understood,” Devin replied. As he walked, he tugged her skirt down when it rode up.
Jessica’s face burned. “You jerk! Let me go right now p>
Her shouting rang in his ears. Without slowing down, he opened the passenger door, set her inside, and circled to the driver’s seat.
Jessica’s breathing was uneven and her hair completely disheveled, yet her sharp features still commanded attention. “Who said you could get in my car? Get out p>
“You came looking for Mr. Blake, and you’re Ms. Evans’ friend. It’s my responsibility to make sure you get home safely,” Devin said lightly, offering a polite smile. “Please fasten your seatbelt p>
The engine started, cutting off any further argument.
