Love Ends Here Chapter 20
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

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

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

"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

"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

"Lawrence, you're already 30. You're not young anymore. Are you really planning to stay at that company forever? If you're not getting married, just come back for a blind date. Your Aunt Ella found a young lady for you. She's coming back from abroad next month, and she seems nice. Come meet her."It was nearing the end of the workday when Lawrence Hale received the call from his mother, Maddison Pace.It wasn't the first time she had called to pressure him about marriage. Usually, he'd hesitate or brush it off. But this time, his answer was different."Alright. I'll come back once I quit my job."On the other end, Maddison went silent for a moment. "You're serious about coming back?""Yeah, I'll be back."After hanging up, Lawrence started packing up his desk to leave when the office phone buzzed."Come in."Lawrence pushed the door open, and his gaze immediately landed on the woman standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.She had a stunning figure and a beautiful face. Under

As Julia walked downstairs, she saw Lawrence lounging in the garden under the sun. There was a rare smile playing at the corner of his mouth."Where's my breakfast?" she asked as she approached him.The moment Lawrence heard her voice, his smile vanished. "I didn't make it.""Why not? You know I always want your breakfast in the morning." Julia frowned. She could sense something was off about Lawrence today."I'm heading out to meet a client and don't have time. You can ask the maid to make it."Lawrence turned to leave, but Julia grabbed his arm."What's wrong?" Noticing his odd behavior, she softened her tone."Is it because I'm getting engaged? That's what my family wants, and I haven't agreed to it yet.""You misunderstood, Ms. Ware. Who you marry is your choice. No matter what, you told me from the start that our relationship is purely physical with no emotional strings attached."He shrugged off her hand and walked away without looking back.When Lawrence returned to th

When Julia discovered that Lawrence had turned off his phone, she was so furious that she nearly smashed it.He had spent the entire afternoon at a café. For the first time, he felt like time truly belonged to him.It wasn't until dark that he turned his phone back on. Dozens of missed calls and countless messages flooded in."Where are you?"I'm waiting for you at your place. Come back now."Lawrence, I'm giving you half an hour. Come back now."The last message was sent at 3:00 pm, and now it was 6:00 pm.Looking at her messages, Lawrence sneered. Just by reading these, he could imagine how angry Julia must be at that moment.He wandered around, ate some of his favorite foods, and then returned home leisurely.The apartment was pitch dark when he walked in. He bent down to change his shoes. As he flicked on the lights, he saw Julia sitting on the couch.Seeing him come back so late, Julia was seething. "Where have you been? Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting fo

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

"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

"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

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
