Chapter 463\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside the suite, Torrin desperately tried to maneuver around Avril, who stubbornly blocked his path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMove!\u201d he snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d she retorted. \u201cCan\u2019t you see Larissa is on a date with Haskell? She doesn\u2019t want to talk to you. Don\u2019t you have any self-awareness?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin glared at her. \u201cThis is none of your business!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, but it is!\u201d Avril shot back. \u201cYou still haven\u2019t paid for knocking me over. Don\u2019t think you can just walk away from your responsibilities!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He realized she was deliberately stalling. \u201cYou\u2019re doing this on purpose, aren\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, trying to get out of it? I\u2019ll call your father right now and tell him you snuck out while you were grounded!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you know I was grounded?\u201d he asked, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril flinched, quickly recovering. \u201cYour sister mentioned it! She said you begged her to bring you, which obviously means you were stuck at home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had almost revealed that she was the one who had been secretly texting him as Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care. If you don\u2019t take me to the hospital for that scan, I\u2019m not leaving you alone!\u201d she declared, doubling down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin pointed a finger at her face, his jaw tight. \u201cIf you weren\u2019t a woman, I\u2019d punch you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch a bad temper. No wonder Larissa doesn\u2019t like you,\u201d Avril said coolly. \u201cShe can see and hear everything you\u2019re doing out here. Making a scene will only make her despise you more.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words hit their mark. Torrin took a deep, steadying breath. \u201cFine! I\u2019ll take you to the hospital, alright?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they passed the Blessing Suite, he paused and looked inside. The sight of Larissa sitting beside Haskell, laughing and smiling, was like a knife to his heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the two months they had dated, she had never looked at him like that. She was always busy, always preoccupied with something he couldn\u2019t understand. When he asked her to the movies, she was busy. The amusement park? Busy. All she ever seemed to do was fuss over her collection of\u00a0<\/p>\n
medicinal herbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, here she was, perfectly content on a date with Haskell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The unfairness of it all was too much to bear. He shoved Avril aside and stormed toward the suite\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLarissa!\u201d he yelled at her. \u201cI\u2019m giving you one last chance. Me, or this cripple!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa\u2019s gaze met his for a fleeting moment before she turned back to Haskell. Then, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she pulled back, her voice was calm but final. \u201cThere\u2019s the answer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 463\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin\u2019s eyes reddened with tears. \u201cI understand,\u201d he choked out. He slammed his fist against the wall, knuckles splitting open and bleeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind him, Avril covered her mouth, a flicker of pity in her eyes. For a moment, she felt sorry for him. But just as quickly, she hardened her heart. They had broken up. His pathetic, lovesick act didn\u2019t give him the right to harass Larissa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Torrin turned, his voice raspy. \u201cI\u2019ll take you to the hospital.\u201d He strode away without another look back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril, snapping out of her thoughts, glanced at Larissa and Haskell before hurrying after him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharon, who had been watching the entire spectacle from her room, turned to her friend. \u201cMy idiot brother, acting like he\u2019s in some cheesy drama. I have to admit, it\u2019s pretty entertaining.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her friend giggled. \u201cIt really is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in the suite, Haskell, still reeling from the unexpected kiss, grinned at Larissa. \u201cWell, I don\u2019t think Torrin will be bothering you anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Lenora, the event\u2019s host, stepped onto the stage with a microphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood afternoon, everyone. I\u2019m Lenora, editor for the author Field of Lari. Thank you all for coming to the copyright auction for her novel, \u2018Heaven\u2019s Will\u2019. I will be your host for today\u2019s proceedings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
