Love Ends Here Chapter 11
By the time Julia ran outside, the car had already driven far away.The face she had seen really resembled Lawrence's.Could Patrick be right? Lawrence hadn't died but had purposely disappeared for a while because he wanted her to care about him.Julia turned to get in her car to chase after him, but Patrick stopped her. "Don't do this, Jules! The car's already gone! You can't catch up! That must be someone else."Julia stood frozen, watching as the car vanished from view.Patrick pulled her back into the café, but her mind was consumed with thoughts of Lawrence. No matter what, she had to find him.…In front of the city hall, Lawrence looked at the marriage certificate, feeling somewhat dazed. He hadn't expected to get married so quickly.Turning to his side, he saw Megan pulling out her phone and taking a selfie with him with the marriage certificate. There was a faint smile on her lips.He frowned. Was she really that happy about getting married?"What are you doing?" he

The moment Julia saw Megan, her expression soured. "What a small world," she muttered.Megan raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, really small.""What are you doing here?" Julia eyed her up and down and noticed Megan wasn't in an evening dress. Instead, she was holding a tray."Megan, have you really fallen this far? Now you're working as a waitress at a cocktail party?" Julia sneered. "Did your family go bankrupt? Now you have to work for a living?""Have you forgotten your manners, Julia? Want me to wash that dirty mouth out for you?" Megan's face grew cold. She really wanted Lawrence to see what kind of woman Julia was."Wash your own mouth first. I can't be bothered with you."Megan was about to turn and walk away. But then she caught sight of Patrick in the crowd.As she thought of all the years Lawrence had given to Julia, a fiery frustration boiled inside her."Karma will hit you eventually, Julia! Lawrence is so good, yet you pushed him away for that scumbag Patrick. You'll regret

The word "husband" almost slipped out. But after a moment's thought, Megan quickly changed it to "boyfriend".She didn't want things to get more complicated once Lawrence showed up."Boyfriend?" Julia's expression darkened further. "How could you possibly have a boyfriend? I've never seen you in a relationship after all these years.""It's none of your business!" Exasperated by Julia, Megan rolled her eyes. "It's got nothing to do with you! Just give me the bangle back! Otherwise, I'll call the police!""Dream on!" Julia turned to leave, but Megan grabbed her arm."Let go of me!"Patrick stepped forward and roughly shoved Megan away. She lost her balance and fell to the ground."Megan!" a voice called out, cutting through the noise.From the crowd, a tall figure quickly approached.The moment Lawrence appeared, all eyes turned toward him. His strikingly handsome face exuded a cold, commanding presence.Julia's eyes widened in shock as she saw him. "Lawrence, you're alive? You

After exiting the ballroom, Lawrence got into Megan's car."I'm sorry," he apologized. "If I had arrived on time, you wouldn't have had to deal with such an embarrassing situation.""No." Megan shook her head. "I should be thanking you. Thank you for standing up for me. It feels so good to be protected.""I'm your husband. It's the least I can do."Lawrence glanced at her profile. After a long pause, he said, "Ms. Smith, you saw what happened earlier. Patrick was right. I was Julia's lover for seven years. If that bothers you, I can—""I don't mind," Megan interrupted.After pulling up to the side, she looked into Lawrence's eyes with a determined gaze. "I don't mind at all."Her eyes sparkled like stars. Lawrence couldn't understand. "Why?""You'll know eventually."Lawrence nodded. His eyes shifted to her wrist, which was swollen and red. Without a word, he began massaging it gently. "Does it hurt?"His movements were gentle. As Megan watched his thoughtful and caring actio

Lawrence grabbed Julia's hand. During the struggle, she saw the vase on the shelf tipping over."Watch out!" she shouted, shoving Lawrence away with all her strength.With a loud crash, the vase hit Julia on the forehead, shattering into pieces. Blood immediately streamed down her forehead. At that moment, she finally snapped out of her drunken haze.Lawrence frowned in concern. Since she was hurt because of him, his worry grew. "Are you okay? Do you want me to call 911?"The sharp, iron-like scent of blood filled the air. As Julia looked at him, tears rolled down her cheeks. "It hurts so much. I want you to comfort me."Lawrence sighed. "The first aid kit is in the second drawer of the cabinet. You should go get it.""Why?" Julia sobbed. "Why are you doing this to me, Lawrence?""Wake up, Julia! I don't love you anymore!""I don't believe you," she cried. They'd been together for seven years. How could he just stop loving her?"Julia, did you know that day at Echo Chamber, th

When Patrick arrived, Julia was slumped on the couch. Blood covered the couch and the carpet. Her face and lips were smeared with it as well.He froze in shock, thinking the place had been ransacked. "What happened? Who hurt you, Jules?""Get out." Her head remained lowered, and her voice was chillingly cold.Patrick was unsure he'd heard her right. "What did you say?""I said, get out!"When she raised her gaze, the cold detachment in her eyes made Patrick's heart sink."Why?" he asked."What's that in your hand?"Noticing the suitcase he carried, Julia grabbed the ashtray from the table and hurled it against the wall.The deafening crash made Patrick flinch. He was momentarily stunned into silence. "It's my luggage. Lawrence moved out, so I'm moving back in. Isn't that fair?""Who said you could live here?" Julia stormed over, seized his suitcase, and threw it out the door without hesitation.Patrick was stunned. "What's wrong with you, Jules? What are you doing? This was

"Megan, you've been dreaming of this for years, and now you've finally got Lawrence! Are you happy now?" Megan's younger sister, Elyse Smith, teased her."Don't be silly." Megan shot her a playful glare. Her cheeks flushed instantly.Lawrence assumed Megan had simply wanted to get married for a long time. He didn't think much of it and followed her family inside.Megan's family treated Lawrence warmly. Even after just one meal, he felt a rare sense of belonging.After dinner, Beatrice noticed the bangle on Megan's wrist.She couldn't help but smile. Maybe Lawrence wasn't as clueless as she thought. Giving Megan his family heirloom was a clever move."That bangle used to belong to Lawrence's grandmother. Now that it's on your wrist, it seems he's already accepted you.""What?"Megan froze. He had said it was just an ordinary wedding gift. How could it be something so significant?"He said it was just a regular bangle," Megan murmured."Silly, that's no ordinary gift," Beatrice

"What did you say?" As Julia looked up, her eyes were icy with anger.Lena trembled. "I heard Megan hired Mr. Hale with a high salary to work at Smith Group."There were still so many loose ends waiting for Lawrence to resolve at Ware Corporation, but he hadn't returned. Instead, he'd gone to work at Megan's company.He should know Julia was still waiting for him, that she couldn't live without him."Get the car ready," she ordered."Where are you going?""To Smith Group."When Julia arrived, she didn't go up to find Lawrence. Over the past few days, she had thought it through carefully. Lawrence liked the kind, gentle version of her.Rushing up to him now might only push him away, so she decided to wait downstairs quietly.She waited for what felt like an eternity. Finally, after work, she saw Lawrence's figure.Just as she was about to approach him, Megan appeared beside him."Lawrence!" Julia called out.When Lawrence saw her, his smile faltered. "What are you doing here

"Are you saying we've met before?" Lawrence asked.Megan replied, "I saw you at the Graduation Ceremony for Outstanding Graduates. My speech script got lost, and you helped me find it."Lawrence looked at the woman in front of him. His mind drifted back to his college days.Back then, as the representative of outstanding graduates, he had to give a speech. While rehearsing backstage, he had indeed met a young lady who was also preparing for her speech.Her script had gone missing, and Lawrence had helped her search for it. He had eventually found it in a corner.But at that time, he had been too nervous to remember what she looked like. So, it was Megan?"You were that girl?""Do you remember now?" Megan smiled. "Unfortunately, we had already graduated by then. I couldn't find any information about you after that. It wasn't until years later that I saw you again at a cocktail party. Only then did I know that you had become Julia's assistant.""I see." Lawrence pressed his lips

"What did he do?" Lawrence sneered. Even now, Julia still didn't know what kind of person Patrick was."Julia, I told you before. I didn't hire the thugs from that day. It was Patrick. He staged the whole thing himself, but you were too blind to see through it!"Julia's mind went blank. She turned to Patrick and looked at him in disbelief."Is that true, Patrick? Did you really hire those people? Are you out of your mind?""Yes! I'm out of my mind!" At this point, Patrick didn't bother to pretend anymore.He shouted in despair, "I hired people to abduct you, and I framed him! Because he took you from me! I won't let anyone take you away from me! Jules, you promised you'd be with me and you'd marry me! But now, you're all over him! I just wish those thugs had finished the job and killed him that day!""You're crazy! You're really crazy!" Julia shook her head. Her eyes were filled with anger and sadness."Yes, I'm crazy! But you're not much better! It was you who paid those people

Seeing Julia, Lawrence frowned. He should've waited for her to leave before coming out.Julia stepped right in front of him with a smile. "Lawrence, you and Megan are in a fake marriage, aren't you? It's not real, right?"Lawrence's pupils shrank sharply. How could Julia possibly know about his and Megan's arrangement?This was something only the two of them knew, and maybe the assistant who handled the paperwork for Megan."I don't know what you're talking about."He panicked and took a step to leave, but Julia rushed into his arms, saying excitedly, "I knew it. I know you still love me. I know you and Megan aren't really married. Don't go, Lawrence. Don't leave me. I miss you so much."Fueled by the alcohol, she tilted her head to kiss him, but Lawrence pushed her away. "Get a grip, Julia! Do you even know what you're doing?""I know! You're just throwing a tantrum, trying to use Megan to provoke me, so you're faking a marriage!"Julia tried to hug him again, but Megan arrive

As soon as Lawrence stepped into the room, he saw Julia and Patrick. He hadn't expected them to be here, so it left him feeling a little uneasy.Noticing his discomfort, Megan squeezed his hand. She then confidently introduced him, "Let me introduce everyone. This is my husband, Lawrence Hale."After Megan finished, the group erupted in teasing remarks."You've never brought a man to this kind of event before!""Yeah, who would've thought the first time would be with your husband?"Someone stood up and handed a glass of wine to Lawrence. "Let me toast to you, Lawrence. Congratulations!"Lawrence hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to accept, but Megan quickly took the glass and drank it down in one go."Lawrence can't drink, so don't tease him. I'll drink for him."Seeing Megan protectively stand up for him, Lawrence couldn't help but smile.It used to be him drinking for Julia, but now, for the first time, a woman was drinking for him."Oh, Ms. Smith is already protecting

Wedding rings?Megan was stunned. Lawrence was buying her a wedding ring? But weren't they in a contractual marriage?"Which one do you like?" Lawrence turned to ask for her opinion.Megan pointed to one casually. "How about this one?" She knew Lawrence didn't have much money, so she picked a smaller one.Seeing her thoughtful choice, Lawrence was touched. "We'll take this one."Lawrence pulled out his card and paid."Would you like it packaged?" the staff member asked."It's fine." Megan picked up one of the rings and slipped it onto Lawrence's ring finger. Then she picked up the woman's ring and handed it to him."Put this on for me." Megan bit her lip. Her heart was racing. "Lawrence, we—"Before she could finish, Lawrence interrupted, "Even if it's a contractual marriage, we should still have rings. Otherwise, it'll be easy to get exposed."Megan's heart sank at his words. So, it was just to avoid suspicion.She felt a little disappointed. After putting the ring on his f

Lawrence tightly held Megan's hand, their fingers intertwined.Julia looked at him in disbelief. They had been together for seven years! And now, he had left her and married another woman?"You're lying to me just because I slapped you? You think I can't find out whether you're really married or not?""You don't believe me?"Lawrence nodded, signaling for Megan to take out her phone.After they had registered their marriage that day, Megan had taken a selfie of them with their marriage certificate.Lawrence had avoided making things public before, but since Julia had nearly gone mad, he had no choice but to show her the marriage certificate to make her face the truth."Take a look. What do you think this is?" Lawrence held up the phone and zoomed in on the photo.The two of them looked perfect together."It's fake." Julia didn't believe it. She shook her head with a forced laugh. "Lawrence, you can't marry someone else! You loved me for seven years. How could you marry someone
