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 inshock. “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 replace 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, mypatience 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 ofRuby 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 heronce more. Despite the floor heating, she was still cold to the touch. As soon as he returned to herside, 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. Hisarms 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.

Or maybe it was his status or the objections of his parents. He had thought of each possibility and hadalready devised countermeasures to overcome them one by one.

But even the best-laid plans can go awry. He had never expected Ruby to be an obstacle. He thoughtback 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 wouldshe feel? He needed to get rid of Ruby as soon as possible so that Zayla could be with him without anyworries. “Zayla, just give me a little more time.” Outside the window, snowflakes fell heavily from thesky.

The entire city was covered in snow. John had long since lost any desire to sleep. He looked at hiscrying sister and felt helpless. “How many more times do you need me to tell you? “Lincoln is notsomeone 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 scaron 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?

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