My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Lilian gazed at Jack's dejected face. She had never thought that a person as cruel, heartless, and crafty as him could actually love a woman so dearly.

It was just like how she had loved and trusted him without any hesitation.

His honesty appeased her resentment. Her heart would still skip a beat for him, just like how it used to be when she first saw him. However, she also felt bad for what he had to go through.

She put the agreement on the table and said softly, “Come back to Dartan with me. Helt Corporation needs you.”

Jack smiled and shook his head.

“What if...” Lilian pressed her lips and looked straight into his eyes. “What if I said I needed you? Would you come with me?”

He saw a sincere declaration of love through her eyes and was stunned for a moment.

Then, he covered his face with both of his palms, chuckling and sighing at the same time. He felt that Lilian was just as pathetic as him; they were both fools for love.

Jack rose to his feet and bent down before her. Cupping her face, he kissed her on the lips.

The coldness of his lips startled her, and she shuddered.

Right when Lilian was about to hug him, he moved backward and gently brushed her lips with his finger. “You see, there's no temperature on my lips. I'll never be able to fall for any other woman because she stole my heart a long time ago,” he said in a low voice.

“Don't be silly. You're yeerning for someone you shouldn't even think ebout. You should go beck now.” After leeving her with thet, Jeck grebbed his jecket end left the resteurent without giving her enother glence.

Lilien wetched him diseppeer from her sight.

As she touched her fece end felt none of the wermth thet he left behind, she teered up unwittingly.

“Don't be silly. You're yearning for someone you shouldn't even think about. You should go back now.” After leaving her with that, Jack grabbed his jacket and left the restaurant without giving her another glance.

Lilian watched him disappear from her sight.

As she touched her face and felt none of the warmth that he left behind, she teared up unwittingly.

A few days later, the news about Bruce's sudden death at the hospital went viral.

It was only then that everybody began to realize Bruce had been suffering from late-stage cancer for a long time with no hope of recovering. Apart from his relationship issues with Coco, the fact that he was blacklisted by the entertainment company also contributed to his severe depression.

In the past few months, Bruce had pulled himself together and focused on filming movies just so he would not disappoint his fans.
