I become a SheEO After Dirvorce

Chapter 786 Give Me More Time

John was sleepy, but the words jolted him awake. “What happened? What did she do?”

“Your sister texted my woman and threatened her. Does she know the consequences?” John gasped in shock. “Take it easy, man. I’m going to teach her a lesson right away. I promise it won’t happen again.”

Movements went through the line as John got up and went to find his sister. At the same time, footsteps were heard. “Lincoln! Why are you doing this to me?” Lincoln’s brows furrowed. “Shut up!” John’s voice sounded immediately as he quickly covered Ruby’s mouth.

All that could be heard was a muffled sound. Lincoln’s eyes darkened, and he warned coldly, “Ruby, my patience with you is limited. Don’t test me again and again!”

Just as he was going to hang up, there was a loud crash from the other end followed by the sound of Ruby crying. Expressionless, Lincoln hung up the phone, muted it, and tossed it onto the sofa.

He looked over at Zayla, who was sleeping soundly, and stepped forward to wrap his arms around her once more. Despite the floor heating, she was still cold to the touch. As soon as he returned to her side, her delicate body snuggled up against him.

“Lincoln… it’s cold…” At the sound of her voice, the hostility in Lincoln’s eyes vanished completely. His arms tightened around her, and he pulled her closer into his embrace.

He looked down at her but lost sleep. He had imagined many obstacles that could stand in the way. Perhaps it was the grudge in her heart or her reluctance to open up after being hurt.

But even the best-laid plans can go awry. He had never expected Ruby to be an obstacle. He thought back to the text message he had received earlier. His woman was always so timid.

He had done everything in his power to protect her, but if she were to see those messages, how would she feel? He needed to get rid of Ruby as soon as possible so that Zayla could be with him without any worries. “Zayla, just give me a little more time.” Outside the window, snowflakes fell heavily from the sky.

The entire city was covered in snow. John had long since lost any desire to sleep. He looked at his crying sister and felt helpless. “How many more times do you need me to tell you? “Lincoln is not someone you can even imagine! Why won’t you just let go?”

Ruby opened her red-rimmed eyes and glared at John with anger. “Why should I? Do you see the scar on my face? “If it weren’t for me, Lincoln would have died a long time ago!

“I saved his life. I have this long and deep scar on my face because of him. “Why doesn’t he love me? How can he not love me? I’ve been waiting for him. What about the result? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Why… why did that woman named Zayla get there first?” Ruby’s obsession with Lincoln ran so deep that it bordered on madness. In the past, John hadn’t taken it seriously, but now he felt that she was beyond hope. “Ruby! Do you even know what you’re saying?
