Chapter 761
Natalie ignored Hamilton and ran toward the door, but he was faster. He grabbed
her and shoved her back.
"This is my home!" Natalie yelled.
"I said don't open the door!" Hamilton barked.
"What gives you the right..."
"The right of being your husband! I won't let you run to another man!"
"Hamilton." Natalie didn't know what to say to him anymore. "Do you think there's any point to this?"
"We can just live like this, our family of three. What's wrong with that?"
"Everything!"
While they argued, Kristin sneaked over to the door and opened it. Seeing Marico, she quickly tattled, "Marico! That bad man is bullying me and mommy. Beat him up and make him go away!"
Marico ruffled Kristin's hair and told her to wait in the bedroom.
"No, I have to protect mommy too!" The little girl stood with her hands on her hips. Marico tapped her nose. "Don't worry, I'll protect your mom."
Kristin trusted Marico completely. If he said he could protect her mom, he would. She obeyed and trotted back to the bedroom.
Marico then looked at Hamilton, scoffing. "Mr. Amos is such a big, tough man, bullying women and children. Should I give you a round of applause?"
He actually clapped a few times.
Hamilton gritted his teeth. "Get the hell out! This is none of your business!"
"You're the one who needs to get the hell out. The woman you're grabbing is my fiancée!"
"Oh? You think I'd buy that lie?"
"You don't believe me?"
Marico narrowed his eyes and strolled toward them. He had been drinking at a bar before coming here, which was why he initially missed Martha and Kristin's calls Thankfully, he had checked his phone on the way to the restroom.
He had downed quite a few drinks and was feeling a bit lightheaded.
Stepping up, he shot Hamilton a cold, mocking look, then pulled Natalie into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.
Natalie instinctively tried to push
him away, but he gripped her waist tightly. Remembering that if she pushed Marico away now, Hamilton would never believe they were engaged, she secretly glared at
Marico but allowed the kiss.
The kiss didn't last long before Hamilton went crazy, shoving them apart and throwing a punch at Marico.
Marico's alcohol-dulled reflexes couldn't dodge the blow, and he was knocked to the floor. But the next second, he lunged back, tackling Hamilton.
"Hamilton, stop hitting him!"
Naturally, Natalie wanted to help Marico, so she tried to pull Hamilton back from behind, but he grabbed her wrist. He turned his head slowly, his face terrifyingly dark, his eyes bloodshot.
"You did that with him... right in front of me. Natalie, I've tried to force myself to forget what happened six years ago, but you... are you trying to drive me insane?" Natalie stared into Hamilton's eyes and enunciated clearly, "He is my fiancé!" "He's not. I will never let you marry another man!"
"He is!"
"You love me!"
"Snap out of it, Hamilton. I stopped loving you a long time ago. After the countless times you hurt me six years ago, my love for you died."
Hamilton froze. She had said she didn't love him more than once, and he had never believed her, but this time, he felt forced to.
While Hamilton was dazed, Marico seized the opportunity to flip him over, pinning him down and landing two vicious punches. But Hamilton had completely snapped. With a low grow, he kicked Marico back to the floor and began raining heavy, relentless blows upon him.
