Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 245

Chapter 245:.

Layne smiled at Louise. “What are you doing, Louise? You’re breaking my heart.” He held a half-empty cocktail glass in one hand, and suddenly pulled out a knife with the other. Someone screamed at the sight of the knife, and the onlookers immediately scattered.

Felix shielded Louise behind him. “Fuck off, Layne, pick on someone your own size! Don’t hit a woman!”

Layne was fiddling with the knife in his hand. He didn’t even glance at Felix. He focused on Louise and smiled.

“I would never hit Louise. I feel sorry for her, how could I even think of hitting her?”

He was twirling the knife in his hand so fast I didn’t realize he’d cut his hand on it until I saw that the blue cocktail in his hand had suddenly turned red.

Layne swirled his cocktail glass and slowly moved forward. Ignoring Felix’s look of hatred, he grabbed Louise’s injured hand and dropped a drop of her blood into the glass. Within seconds, the blood mixed with the cocktail. The next moment, Layne drank the cocktail that had been mixed with his and Louise’s blood.

Then he wiped the remains of the cocktail from his mouth and smiled.

Then, he threw the empty glass backwards. The man behind him caught it.

Layne expressed his determination more directly.

For a moment, the onlookers were startled and no one even wanted to breathe loud enough to be heard. Even Felix just stared at him, unable to speak and his chest heaving.

“Aren’t you going to put a ring on my finger? Hurry up and do it.” Louise was the one to break the silence. You could tell at a glance that she was frustrated.

When Felix realized what she had said, he was overjoyed. He quickly pulled out the ring and nodded enthusiastically. He was so nervous that his shaking hands almost dropped it. Even as he was putting the ring on Louise’s finger, his hands were still shaking.

Louise had made her decision.

After she put the ring on, Felix started laughing like an idiot. He hugged Louise and ignored Layne.

Meanwhile, Eric clapped his hands and started cheering. It didn’t take long for the people around to follow suit. Most of them were afraid of Layne, and could do nothing but stand back and watch the scene unfold in silence.

Layne seemed to have expected this to happen, and acted elegantly defeated. He still wore a smile on his face.

Then, he put his injured finger to his mouth and licked it as he stared at Louise.

After turning away from Felix, Louise looked at Layne with a complicated expression.

Layne wasn’t exactly handsome, but he was quite a man. Perhaps one of the manliest she had ever seen. From what she remembered, he was the kind of guy Louise liked. I thought that if it weren’t for Felix, Layne might have a chance with her.

“If he ever tries to push you around, you can always come to me.”

Even the sound of Layne’s voice was manly. It sounded like he hadn’t given up on Louise yet.

“Cut the crap, okay? Don’t you get it? You’ve lost. End of story!” yelled Felix.

Layne didn’t seem to take him seriously. He merely laughed at Felix, took one last look at Louise and left. However, his men seemed to be unhappy with this outcome.

“Mr. Thurman!” they shouted.

“Let’s go!” ordered Layne.

This time, no one dared to object. I noticed that, after he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared. I could tell he was disappointed by what had happened. I guessed that he must have loved Louise very much.

It made me wonder how long his love would last. As I watched Layne and his men leave the bar, I heard everyone screaming.

I looked away from them and noticed that Felix was kissing Louise passionately. To be honest, I understood why he was doing it. I had carefully planned this proposal and it was almost ruined. As Aaron had said, the easier you get something, the less you appreciate it.

What Layne did earlier must have rattled Felix enough to make him think about how hard it was to win Louise’s heart. Because of that, he got really excited and started kissing her like there was no tomorrow.

The audience was still applauding, but honestly, they were surprised. The truth is that it was not easy for Felix and Louise to be together. They had gone through so many difficulties.

Now that they were finally together, he hoped they could live a happy life together. Everyone present stood up. As Charlene watched the couple on stage, she was very moved.
