Chapter 40

• “Just let me handle this, okay? Maybe being faced with someone as big and scary as him might make a difference. Watch him try and bully me the way he does you…enough is enough.” Ling was walking quickly, which Meilei struggled to keep up with, but she was on a mission today and would not be swayed. Meilei had tried, but Ling had her warrior mood and stubborn mindset in place.
• “Ling, I don’t think…” Meilei was scared. She had spent all night awake, rolling about in fear that Ling intended to do this today, and in the new light of day, it seemed like an even worse idea. Everything was hanging over them, and now, with Yue in the mix, Meilei was ready to self-combust.
• “I told you…trust me. I am sooooooo over this.” Ling marched to the closed door, knowing exactly who to find inside. She was battle-ready and had a mouthful bursting to get out. She didn’t care about the consequences. He had declared war when he filed for a DNA test and threatened to take Yue from Meilei.
