My Love My Hatred (Jennie and Lance)

My Love My Hatred Chapter 170

The most important thing right now was to find Leo before Lance found out.

I knocked on his study room‘s door a few times.

But no one responded.

I was disappointed. I was about to leave but Leo suddenly appeared and asked, “Are you looking for

me, Jennie?

I showed him the smile I practiced earlier.

“I just want to see you, Leo. But I didn‘t mean to bother you, I will leave

now.”

I said and lowered my head to walk away but he suddenly held my shoulder to stop me. It hurts a lot

that I couldn‘t stop myself from gasping.

“What happened?” He asked. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“It hurts.”

He quickly pulled my shirt down and revealed the fingerprints on my shoulder. It was Lance‘s

fingerprints, he left it when we had a make–out session the night before.

“What happened?”

He asked loudly and let go of me. He is an adult; he knew what happened.

But he is a gentleman; I believed that he wouldn‘t do this to a woman.

I quickly shushed him and shook my head, “It‘s okay. I am used to it now.”

Leo Mason looked at my swollen face and he looked sorry.

“Does it hurt?”

“It doesn‘t hurt at all! I am used to it.” I smiled.

I wanted him to know that this wasn‘t the first time his brother hit me, I needed to let him know that

Lance hit me habitually.

He balled his hands into fists and his head was lowered. I couldn‘t see his facial expression.

Suddenly, he reached his hand out and pulled me with him.

“What are you doing, Leo?” I tried to get out of his grip.

“If you don‘t like him ask him to let you go then. I‘ll bring you to talk to him.” He said.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, “It‘s useless, Leo. You know how he is; you don‘t have any power

in the Mason‘s family, he wouldn‘t listen to you.”

He looked at me and I realized that what I just said wasn‘t nice.

He let go of my hand and said, “I believe that if you are good, brother will treat you better, Jennie. You

shouldn’t

have talked to grandma like that just now. I know you are a clever woman. You know what is good for

you. Brother wouldn‘t want to marry you if he doesn‘t care about you. He wouldn‘t have hit you if you

listened to him.”

I didn‘t expect Leo Mason to say this.

I nodded while smiling bitterly, “You are right, it‘s all my fault then. I deserved to be hit. I shouldn‘t have

said anything when people were humiliating me. I know where my place is in this

family.”

He knitted his eyebrows together and said, “I didn‘t mean it that way, Jennie.”

I wanted to shout at him so badly. What would he mean if it wasn‘t like that?

I smiled anyway and said, “I knew

you didn‘t mean it like that. I will remember what you said, I won‘t be like that anymore.”

I turned around and left. The smile on my face disappeared in a matter of seconds. I balled my hands

into fists.

I walked back to Lance Mason‘s bedroom. That was not what I expected.

I needed to think of another way.

Lance Mason would be going to California tomorrow and Leo will be following

I still kept my things in the apartment back there, they were mostly Leo‘s things.
