Chapter 729 A Coward
Ezekiel pondered for such a long time and asked if I was happy.
To be honest, I felt extremely awkward because they were discussing me.
It was uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Shawn continued to provoke Ezekiel, saying, "She's my wife, the mother of my two children, how can she not be
happy?"
Ezekiel's voice remained calm as he replied, "You're provoking me."
Shawn retorted, "Do you wish for her life to be miserable? Is this your love? Mike, after all..."
Shawn walked toward the iron stool and sat down, sneering, "You're nothing but a coward who indulges in self-pity
in the darkness!"
Ezekiel's expression became flustered, and in an instant, it transformed into a vicious look!
He quickly walked over and punched Shawn hard in the face, his ring scratching Shawn's cheek.
Shawn's cheek started bleeding.
My heart trembled, and I urgently grabbed Andrew's arm, signaling him to do something. However, he whispered, "I
don't dare to intervene now."
Indeed, at that moment, no one dared to stop Ezekiel.
Shawn was not a man who allowed others to bully him. After being hit by Ezekiel, he quickly counterattacked,
punching Ezekiel in the face. The two men suddenly started fighting, but in the end, Shawn was at a disadvantage
since he was restrained.
Just as Ezekiel was about to punch Shawn in the face again, I hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Hastings."
Ezekiel stopped and looked at me.
His eyes were filled with inner turmoil.
Perhaps even he didn't understand why he was so angry!
"Mr. Hastings, you're injured," I said.
Ezekiel stopped and stood up, his gaze wandering as he walked to the spot where Shawn had just stood, looking up
at the skylight.
I had recently learned about his habits and realized that he would think for several minutes every time he was lost
in his thoughts. Concealing my worries, I gently approached Shawn, wanting to help him up. Unexpectedly, he

reached out and pulled me close, kissing me. In that instant, I was enveloped in the familiar scent of his body. I
stared at him wide-eyed as he wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes with his slender fingers, trying his
best to comfort my restless heart. Shawn didn't want me to be sad.

He didn't want me to be sad because of him.
After a long time, he finally let go of me.
Shawn gently wiped away the blood on my face with his fingers as I caressed his cheek, feeling sorry for him. Just
as I was about to hug him again, Andrew suddenly came over and pulled me up, making me stand.
Half a minute later, Ezekiel said, "You d*mn b*stard."
Shawn sneered and couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
Ezekiel suddenly walked away, and Andrew pulled me along. I turned my head back and mouthed, "Wait for me."
I must find a way to save Shawn.
As we left the warehouse, Ezekiel seemed to be in bad shape. He sat in the backseat of the car with his eyes closed.
After the car had been driving for two minutes, I took off my watch, opened the car window, and nervously threw
the watch out!
My watch had a GPS tracker.
Right after throwing the watch, I heard Ezekiel's voice sounding beside me.
"What did you just throw away?"
I froze, trying to remain calm as I turned my head to meet his inquisitive eyes. "Mr. Hastings, it was a tissue."
He closed his eyes again and said, "That was her husband."
I instinctively asked, "Who?"
"The husband of that girl."
I followed up, "Do you hate him, Mr. Hastings?"
Ezekiel asked me in return, "Why would I hate him?"
His lips were stained with blood.
It was from the blow Shawn had given him.

But he had hit Shawn even more!
These two men...
I didn't want to see either of them get hurt!
I replied to Ezekiel's question, "I don't know. I just thought that since you like her, you might dislike her husband."
Upon hearing this, Ezekiel fell silent. After returning to the villa, Ezekiel went to his room. Only when he left, did
Andrew dare to speak, saying, "The two of you were so daring. You even had the guts to kiss in front of Mike! Let
me warn you, there are surveillance cameras in the warehouse! You better hope Mike doesn't review the footage;
otherwise, Shawn will be in serious trouble! He'll figure out your identity too! I mean, who else would Shawn be
kissing? Only his wife, Renee."
I was stunned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"How would I know you guys would do that?"
Although I took the initiative to approach Shawn, it was Shawn who kissed me first. I wasn't aware of the
surveillance cameras inside, and that's understandable. However, Shawn had been there for so many days; he
must have known about the cameras. Despite that, he still kissed me!
Suddenly, I understood Shawn's intentions!
First, he didn't want me to be sad and wanted to comfort me.
Second, he wanted Ezekiel to know my identity.
If Ezekiel knew my identity, he wouldn't harm me.
But this would put him in danger.
This man, Shawn!
He honestly never thought about himself in anything.
From beginning to end, he had been considering for my sake.
The thought of this made my heart throb painfully. I crouched down in agony and asked, "What should I do now?"
"At this point, we can only help him to get out of danger!"
I said with a firm tone, "You're not going to help me."
"That's right, we're not that close."
Right, that watch!
