Chapter 9

"Scarlett, I love you, and I'll love Melody as if she were my own daughter. Please give me another chance. Don't send me away, okay?"

Before I could respond, someone suddenly rushed over and tackled Draven to the ground.

Startled, I stepped aside and realized it was Kellan.

However, compared to when I left, Kellan had lost a lot of weight and looked quite disheveled.

The only thing that hadn't changed was the ferocity with which he threw punches at Draven.

Unfortunately, he was too weak, and Draven quickly pinned him down.

Looking at me with red eyes, Kellan said, "Don't be afraid, Scarlett. Your husband is here! No one can take you away from me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Draven punched him.

Draven shouted angrily, "You beast! Scarlett would rather fake her own death than stay with you. She'll never forgive you!"

Kellan snarled through gritted teeth, "What about you? You're the one who caused Scarlett to be... Do you think she'll forgive you?"
