Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 264

Chapter 264:.

Personally, I found Layne’s words very touching. But how many men could keep their promises? At the very least, I thought, when it came to promises, men tended to be unreliable.

Besides, Layne hardly knew anything about Louise. He had simply fallen in love with her at first sight. I wondered how long those feelings could last.

“Then I’ll marry you,” Louise suddenly said.

Startled, I tugged at her sleeve and asked, “Lulu, what on earth are you saying?”

She must have been so freaked out by what had happened between Felix and Linda that she was acting impulsively at that moment.

A faint smile appeared on Louise’s lips. “I said I’m willing to marry Layne.”

At this point, I became more agitated. “Lulu, marriage is a life-changing decision! You can’t just decide without thinking it through. You have to think it through.”

Meanwhile, Layne stared at Louise blankly. He didn’t seem angry about what she had said. But when he gave her a look, I could tell he really felt sorry for her.

“You also made a rash decision when you married Derek, didn’t you? And that fact proves that you found a man worth treasuring. God blessed you with good fortune, and you won. I’d like to take that leap of faith, too,” Louise said.

At this point, she was being stubborn, so I figured there was nothing I could say to persuade her otherwise.

All I could do was hope that, after she slept and woke up, she would realize she was being too impulsive. Maybe by then, she would change her mind. But to my surprise, Layne reached down and picked her up.

As he held her, Louise didn’t resist one bit. She didn’t move, didn’t even blink.

From what I could see, she looked very depressed.

Seeing that Layne was about to leave with her in his arms, I felt so anxious that I ran forward to stop them.

“You can’t take Lulu!”

“If you really are her best friend, how could you leave her sitting out here on a cold winter night?” After criticizing me, Layne walked past me and put Louise in his car.

“Louise, listen to me!” an anxious voice piped up from behind me.

When I turned around, Felix had already staggered alongside the car, repeatedly banging on the window.

“Louise, don’t go with him. Get out of this car. I know you’re mad at me. You can yell at me, hit me or whatever you want to do to punish me. Just come here. Please!”

At that moment, Felix’s dignity as a man vanished. He looked very pitiful as he pleaded.

“Stay here.” Layne shoved him away.

“Fuck you!” Felix suddenly threw a punch at Layne,

But because he was drunk, he didn’t have enough strength, and his reflexes were slow. Before his fist could reach Layne, the man knocked him to the ground.

“Damn you, Layne, how dare you take my wife from me! I’m going to kill you.” As Felix spoke, he writhed in pain on the ground for a long time, and was unable to get up.

Layne was about to throw another punch, but couldn’t seem to. As it turned out, Derek held his arm firmly. “It wouldn’t do you any honor to hit a drunk man.”

He was too afraid he’d fight Layne for Felix’s sake.

“Come on, Layne. I don’t want to see his face again,” Louise said as she sat down in the car.

Biting her lower lip, Layne nodded in response, pushed Derek’s arm away, turned around and climbed into the driver’s seat.

I rushed toward the car and kept banging on the window.

“You can’t leave, Lulu! You have to get out of this car.”

But Louise just sat there, ignoring me. Soon, Layne stepped on the gas, sending the car speeding away .
