Jarrod's thin lips were stained with blood, making his cold, handsome face look even more wicked. He caught Nicole's hand, held it tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Does hitting me make you feel good?"

Nicole sneered, "Of course! It feels so good."

"Then, this side, too." Jarrod leaned the other side of his face, held her hand even tighter, and raised it to help her slap him again.

A dull and crisp sound echoed.

Nicole was a bit stunned.

The other side of Jarrod's face instantly became red and swollen.

The slap this time was even harder than Nicole's first slap.

“Are you satisfied now?" Jarrod asked in a cold voice. His eyes were red and burning with suppressed anger. “If not, continue slapping me to death."

Nicole saw his face clearly. There were old and new injuries on his face, but he didn't seem to care. He even wanted her to continue slapping him. She thought he was really a lunatic.

“Jarrod, if you have problems with your brain, go to a mental hospital. Don't throw a fit here!"

“Just think that I am sick. If you hate me, you can take revenge in whatever way you want. But you can never be with other men." His dark eyes turned even redder and were fixed on her. He said word by word, "I will never allow you to see any other men. You can't have meals, hold hands, hug, and sleep with other men. Over my dead body!"

Nicole wanted to continue taunting Jarrod. She wanted to ask, "So what if I sleep with other men?" But before she could say anything, suddenly...

“Waah!" A very soft cry of a child rang out in her ears. It was so faint that even Jarrod might not have heard it.

Nicole trembled all over, and her face turned pale.

Jarrod noticed her strange expression. His brows furrowed tightly.

When he was about to say something, another soft cry came. This time, he heard it. "Waah! Waah!"

It seemed like Austin was being fussy and crying.

"What's that sound?" Jarrod froze. He was no longer pressing on her.

Instead, he wanted to get up and check.

Nicole's mind went blank for a moment. She broke into a cold sweat.
