No Wife, No Life Chapter 109

She had liked him since her school days.

Alex meant the whole world to her.

She had a crush on him and was determined to pursue him.

Throughout high school, she looked at his photo on the school's honor wall and decided that she would make herself worthy enough to stand by his side.

Four years of high school, four years of college, five years of marriage—thirteen years in total, and her emotional world revolved around Alex.

How could she just abandon such a long-lasting love?

The wind blew, carrying Jacob's gentle sigh. "Harper, I'm still here for you."

Her brother was still by her side, her friends were still there, but Alex left.

Thinking about this made Harper even sadder.

Harper wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling that she was being overly sentimental.

Hadn't she promised herself not to shed another tear for Alex? Yet she couldn't help it.

Jacob stepped forward and tightly grasped her hand, as if trying to give her strength.

Harper pressed her lips together. "Jacob, I'm fine. I just feel it's unfair."

She shook her head lightly, as if trying to shake Alex out of her mind.

"From now on, there will be no more ties between Alex and me. I've chosen Caden, and I will continue to choose Caden." She said firmly.

Just then, Harper's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it; it was Caden calling.

It was as if he had already guessed that Alex had just left. The timing of this call was impeccable.

Harper gripped her phone and answered the call.

"Are you home?" Caden's voice wasn't as cheerful as before; it carried a hint of tiredness and loneliness.

"I'm at the front door." Harper answered truthfully.

Caden's tone was serious. "Harper, I want to confirm again, you chose me, right?"

By asking this, he was clearly telling Harper that he had someone watching her.

So as soon as Alex left, his call came.

Everything that had just happened had already been reported to Caden.

Harper responded calmly, "Since you already know, didn't they tell you my final choice?"

Since he had laid it all out, Harper saw no need to beat around the bush.

"I want to hear you say it yourself." His voice was smiling again, but the smile tugged at his wounds, making his face pale with pain.

Harper looked up at the dark night sky. "Yes, I chose you, Caden."

He seemed to laugh even more happily, and Harper could hear his assistant urgently calling for a doctor, mentioning that he was bleeding.

Caden laughed and then started to act pitiful. "Harper, it hurts so much."

How could it not hurt?

The car he was hit by was already in a wretched condition, causing a large wound on his forehead and bleeding in his chest. Anyone with such injuries would be in pain.

Harper gripped her phone tightly, recalling the scene of him lying in a pool of blood.

Caden did it on purpose.

That car accident could have been avoided.

Thinking of this, Harper said softly, "Caden, you deserved it."

He knew exactly what she meant.

Both of them fell silent.

They both understood the meaning behind those words.

But neither of them hung up the phone, their quiet breathing transmitted through the line.

Finally, Harper spoke, "Caden, I like the color red, but not the color of blood."

Her tone was calm.

"Alright, I get it. There won't be a next time."

This time, he didn't laugh; his voice was heavy. "Harper, I hope you have a good dream tonight."

He hung up the phone, feeling a burning sensation on his forehead. It seemed he had a fever.

At that moment, his assistant hurriedly called for a nurse to give him an IV.

"Mr. Elikin, I really can't figure you out. You could have avoided it. Why did you let Jeremy's people hit you on purpose?"

This car accident was truly dangerous. If the car had hit harder, the debris would have pierced his chest.

Caden closed his eyes slightly, his face expressionless. "What do you think of Jeremy?"

The assistant pondered for a moment before carefully replying, "He's ruthless, with no regard for law or morality. He is willing to stoop to any level in order to achieve his goals. "

Caden snorted, "Exactly. Harper needs to understand what kind of madman she's dealing with."

Looking at it now, Harper's biggest enemy was Jeremy. Emily and Brad were just small fry, annoying but easily crushed.

But Jeremy was different. He had the means, the connections, and was so crazy that he dared to go after Caden just for a manuscript. No one else would dare to do something so insane.

If Jeremy didn't care about Caden's life, what about Harper?

She was in even greater danger.

Thinking of this, Caden suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp look in them.

"Mr. Elikin, aren't you worrying too much?" The assistant was unconvinced.

He could see that Caden was worried about Harper. But Harper was no ordinary woman, judging from the way she dealt with Herbert.

"Mr. Elikin, why don't you take a look at what Ms. Orsini did today?"

The assistant hesitated but finally showed Caden the test drive video.

Caden opened the video and saw Harper's hair blowing in the wind and her beautiful, blurry profile in the night.

"Isn't she beautiful?" Caden's tone was filled with undisguised pride.

The assistant didn't respond.

Harper was indeed beautiful, but also very dangerous.

In the video, she manipulated the remote control, causing the car Herbert was in to crash into the wall repeatedly, her eyes cold and ruthless.

When Jacob pulled her away, she even had a slight smile on her lips.

Caden watched calmly until the end, without a hint of surprise on his face. "Is that all?"

The assistant was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Caden remarked, "She's adorable."

The assistant was speechless.

"Mr. Elikin, look closely. Ms. Orsini is really losing it. Can you really handle her? When she gets ruthless, she doesn't care about anyone."

The assistant had been with Caden for a long time and was genuinely worried about him.

In his impression, Caden was always shrewd and calculating, not one to make mistakes in such matters. But now, it seemed Caden was completely captivated by Harper, losing his usual judgment.

"That's why she's adorable." Caden said firmly.

The video ended, and he replayed it, watching it carefully again.

In the night, Harper's expression was cold, her eyes glinting, and her lips indeed had a faint smile, like a rose with thorns.

"She did it for me, so I like her very much."
