Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"I..." George was rendered speechless by Barry's words. He could not help but smile bitterly, cold sweat trickling down his spine. "You're right, Barry. But as humans, we naturally consider self-preservation in these scenarios. I..."

"All right. That does it." Barry laughed grimly. "You're a man who doesn't even protect his woman. I don't think there's anything to talk here. You may leave now."

"Barry..." George smiled awkwardly. "I was just kidding with you."

George was humiliated by Berry's words so he finally decided to accept this project. He smiled with a worried expression, "I'm really grateful that you're willing to lend me this generous amount."

Barry took one good look at George and remarked, "Now that's a man! Let's proceed. Write an IOU."

Barry glanced at the person to his left and he instantly produced a piece of paper and a pen. The man placed these items in front of George while Barry mumbled, "After writing the note, I will transfer the money to your accou

se I want to live a better life with you in the future. I can only relax if this project turns out well. We will have plenty of money to be comfortable for the rest of our lives. By then, you don't have to work so hard to make money. You just need to stay at home and raise our children."

"Okay, I know." Jean pretended to be happy.

"It's late. You should go to bed now," George said with tenderness.

When he first got together with Jean many years ago, George was very gentle and charming. Jean loved his character wholeheartedly, and had even agreed to go abroad with him to chase his dreams.

But he got into gambling and things spiraled out of control every time he would lose. He drowned his sorrows in alcohol and he would commit acts of violence towards his partner in frustration.

But now, he genuinely felt that he could turn the tide and start fresh. All thoughts of revenge were washed away by the flood of hope and dreams, cultivated by Jean's sweet words and obedience.
