Husband

Vera quickly exchanged glances with James and Ramon, and then they shouted, “None of your business!” 

Kamon’s temper ran hotter and spoke provocatively, “What? Do you like poking your nose where you don’t belong, Mr. Monroe? Aren’t you a smart cookie? Why don’t you find out yourself?” 

Kamon even shoved James. “Uncle James, as long as Vera hadn’t married you, there’s still a chance for me. I won’t give up.” 

James’s eyes sparked with fury. He raised his hand to hit Ramon, “You brat. I’m going to kick your ass. 

Kamon circled Vera, avoiding James’s reach. “See! You can’t touch me. At least I’m a young brat. You’re an old brat. Vera would want someone younger” 

Vera was growing dizzy from their antics. She whispered, “Alright. Quit messing around.. 

The three resembled a family who had been together for a long time. Carlos’s heart chilled with the realization. He had been stuck in a coma for three years, and Vera had helped him through that. She even bore his children. They would have been a family, but he failed to hold onto her. 

“Enough!” Carlos shouted angrily, 

At the same time, Kamon untied the scarf around Vera’s neck. He and James had deliberately caused a scene because they realize something was wrong 

Vera disliked hot weather. Even in winter, she avoided wearing hats and scarves. However, Vera wore a mismatched scarf today when it was so hot. There had to be a reason. 

Vera wanted to stop Ramon, but it was too late. Besides, she was still carrying Neil. 

James and Ramon saw the marks on Vera’s neck at once. It was much more severe than Samuel’s. Their hearts‘ ached. 

Ramon was so angry he wanted to kick Carlos’s ass. “I promised to treat Neil, and this is how you treat my Sweetheart? Do you think my family will stand by and do nothing?” 

James reached out and stopped Ramon. They were under Carloss roof now. If they fought, they would be at a disadvantage James had already tested it just now. James demanded, “What the hell happened? Did she step on your toes or something?” 

Carlos’s face showed no hint of remorse. He answered indifferently, “We’d a misunderstanding. I’ll make it right. What do 

you want?” 

“Make it right?” Ramon flew into a rage. James could hardly restrain him. “Who the fuck do you think you are? Do we look like we need your money? I want you dead. Can you do that?” 

Carlos didn’t even flinch. “Name your price. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

James could hardly hold Ramon back this time. Ramon roared, “How much for your life? I’ll pay Name your price.” 

“That’s enough, Kamon. I’m not dead. We can settle the score slowly later with Mr. Monroe. Vera signaled for Ramon to calm down. She had lived with Carlos for several years and knew the man he was. What Carlos did to her today was nothing compared to the desperation she felt when she was trapped in the fire. 

“Sweetheart, you- Ramon was afraid Vera still had feelings for Carlos. 

“We have to cure Neil first. Vera’s voice was unusually calm. She turned to Carlos. “We will do our best. In return, I hope Mr.
