Chapter 78.Â
Putting everything else aside, this guy’s looks were really outstanding.Â
Jovana was a bit stunned. She didn’t expect him to come over tonight. She thought he would stay with Juliette the whole time.Â
“What were you just doing?”Â
Hearing the door open, Armando put down the newspaper and looked her over from head to toe, finally stopping at her thin clothes, then lower, at her skin, which was so pale it was almost blinding.Â
He kept a straight face, a flash of darkness suddenly passing through his eyes, and got up to walk towardÂ
her.Â
Jovana paused when she was closing the door, for some reason she felt nervous… Even though the man’s tone toward her was as gentle as always.Â
She pressed her lips together, quietly walked around him, and headed straight to the bathroom. In a calm voice, she said, “It was stuffy in the ward, so I went downstairs for a bit…”Â
This half-hearted tone obviously got to Armando, especially when he saw her actually go to the bathroom. A kind of indescribable irritation just surged and crashed around in his chest.Â
What did you go to the bathroom for?Â
She hid it from him, what exactly did she just do with Harland downstairs?Â
The string called reason in Armando’s head suddenly snapped.Â
Hardly thought about it.Â
He just grabbed her arm and pulled her over, his bloodshot eyes staring at her like he was going to eat her.Â
“Wearing so little, who did you go see?!”Â
“Ah… it hurt…”Â
Jovana was yanked hard by him and it really hurt her arm, but it was nothing compared to how much herÂ
heart hurt.Â
She even zoned out for a second, not believing that these insulting words actually came out of the mouth of the person she had loved with all her heart for nine years.Â
He always knew how to break her heart…Â
“Huh? Speak!” Armando lowered his voice, grabbing her thick wrist.Â
“It hurt, let go of me!”Â
Jovana’s eyes turned red with humiliation, struggling in pain.Â
She was really afraid of pain. Before, when she accidentally cut her hand, Armando felt so bad for her, he wished he could take the pain for her.Â
He clearly knew…Â
But now he didn’t care about her at all and even hit her.Â

Jovana’s tears fell right down.”Go away! I didn’t want to see you!”Â
Right now, her struggle just looked like a cover-up to Armando.Â

Armando suddenly gritted his teeth and let out a sneer, grabbed her arm and shoved her against the wall, then pressed his body over hers.Â
“Ah…”Â
Jovana’s face suddenly went pale from the pain, and her heart turned completely cold.Â
She suddenly stopped struggling and looked at him awkwardly,”Armando, don’t make me hate you…”Â
At that moment, he seemed to see a strong sense of disappointment in her eyes.Â
Armando’s breath caught.Â
But it was gone in a flash, quickly replaced by a surgeÂ
of anger.Â
He cared about her so much it almost broke his heart, but while he was watching, she went behind his back to find another guy.Â
Armando pinched her chin, kept loosening his grip, and looked at her with hurt in his eyes, and a bit of darkness.Â
“You didn’t dare to say it, huh? No wonder you didn’t let me touch you these days, even used your period as an excuse. Actually, you just didn’t want me to touch you! You wore such thin clothes just now-who did you want to see? Who did you want to-” sleep with you.Â
Before he finished speaking, a slap landed hard on his face.Â
“Armando! Get out of here!” Jovana was about to cry from humiliation, her eyes were terribly red, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.Â
That slap was really hard, Armando’s head snapped to the side and he snapped out of it a bit, feeling a lot more clear-headed.Â
The girl’s suppressed sobs by his ear hit his eardrums.Â
Only then did Armando realize what he had just done and what kind of crap he had just said!Â
How could he bear to bully the girl he’d treasured for nine years?Â
Armando shut his eyes tight, then slapped himself hard.Â
Jovana had tears all over her face, turned around and was about to open the door to leave-Â
Armando held her tight, really hard, like he wanted to squeeze her into his body.Â
‘Let go of me!” Jovana couldn’t dodge and snapped coldly.Â
“Sorry, I just lost it a bit…”Â
Armando clung to her like a mangy dog, wouldn’t let go, his chin buried in her thin shoulder, and his voice was crazy hoarse.
