Chapter 94: Bruce’s Provocation
“Alright, Maisy.” Bruce looked at her worried expression and said, “I’m really fine. It’s just some minor injuries.”
“I’ll apologize on his behalf. You were just concerned about me.” Maisy lowered her head.
“There’s no need, Maisy.” Bruce smiled magnanimously. “You’re not him. You don’t have to apologize to me for him.”
Upon hearing Bruce’s words, Maisy was slightly stunned. It was as if he was reminding her that she and Jay were still just friends. “I’ll send you back first.” If Bruce continued to stay here, Jay might suddenly get angry again.
“Okay.” Bruce smiled gently. “If there’s anything, just call me again.”
Maisy nodded. She turned off the electrical appliances in the kitchen and sent Bruce downstairs. “Tell me if you’re feeling unwell. You can go to the hospital first.” Maisy was still a little nervous.
Bruce wanted to take this opportunity to let Maisy spend more time with him, but he held back. After all, he had always been prepared to play the long game. “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.” Bruce was very gentle. Compared to Jay’s attitude just now, his attitude was drastically different.
“1f there’s anything, just look for me.” Maisy was afraid that Jay would be smug, so she didn’t say it a moment ago, but now, she had nothing to worry about. “Although Jay and I are not together, he is the child’s father. I still have to apologize on his behalf.”
Bruce felt a wave of frustration inside. He understood Maisy’s words. She was drawing a clear line with him. He nodded politely. “I understand. Hurry up and go back. Maybe Lucas has woken up!”
Maisy nodded and left. What she didn’t see was Bruce clenching his fists behind her. He had really underestimated Jay. It had taken him so long to get close to Maisy, but Jay had actually done it so quickly!
He narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but snort coldly.
When she went upstairs, Maisy began to struggle. How should she tace Jay later? It was Jay’s fault for hitting Bruce, but Jay didn’t know what was going on between her and Bruce. If she suddenly saw Jay sitting on the sofa with a woman, she would probably get angry too.
Jay sat on the bed in the master bedroom and looked at the sleeping Lucas with mixed feelings. If he didn’t have this son, he really didn’t have much of a chance of winning.
His phone suddenly rang. Jay looked at the unfamiliar profile picture and felt a
little puzzled.
“1’m Bruce.”
Jay felt a wave of frustration inside. Why did Bruce have his WeChat? Although he was very angry, he also wanted to know what this man wanted to do.
“1’ve already left. Nothing happened. I won’t blame you.”
Jay didn’t understand what this man was trying to do.
“1’ve always comforted Maisy like this. I didn’t think much of it in the past. You don’t have to be too nervous.” After sending the message, Bruce turned off his phone.
Jay stared at those few words for a long time. He wasn’t stupid. This man was provoking him. Jay felt conflicted just now and didn’t want to talk to Maisy, but now, Jay had completely understood. Rather than making Maisy feel that he was too impulsive, it was better to be magnanimous about this matter. Jay smiled cruelly. He really had a hundred ways to make Bruce realize the gap between him and himself.
Just as he finished speaking, Maisy arrived. Their eyes met, and no one knew who should speak first..
