Chapter 740 740: Don’t Leave Me

The phone was connected soon while Jay's voice sounded deep.

Lilith felt that her heart was beating so fast, as if it was going to pop out. Lilith realized she missed him so badly when she heard his voice.

"Are you busy today?" Lilith asked in a low voice.

"No, I am not busy," Jay announced shortly.

Lilith felt sad after getting such a reply from him. He was not busy, but he still didn't call her. For many days, Lilith tried to convince her that he didn't call her because he was busy with his work. But it seemed that she was wrong.

"Well..." Lilith was speechless since she didn't know how to invite him on a date.

However, after keeping silent for a while, Jay said again, "Lilith, open the door, please."

"What?" Lilith was shocked.

"I am outside," Jay's voice turned small.

After hearing this, Lilith was so astonished that her eyes opened widely. In the next second, she rushed to the door and opened it. Jay was standing there in his police suit, which made him look handsome.

She stood there agitatedly but didn't know how to respond. "Why are you here?" She quickly asked. She should have held him tightly, but she didn't.

Jay also stared at her silently.

In fact, he had been here for a long time, but he just stood there and didn't knock on the door.

"I have something to talk about with you," Jay said after a few seconds.

"Get in first," Lilith asked him to get into the house, but a feeling of uneasiness occurred to her.

Jay walked to the couch and sat down directly, taking off his cap while Lilith handed him a cup of coffee. Staring at him, she asked, "Did you come from the police station?"

Jay nodded and didn't say anything. Lilith clenched her hands, rubbing anxiously since she felt that Jay was not as intimate with her as before.

"Did you have breakfast? Wait for me for a moment, I am going to..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Jay interrupted her and said, "Lilith, I still have some work to do. I am here to have a talk with you and still have to go back to work."

"Uh... Jay..." Lilith murmured and felt hard to breathe.

Jay asked her to sit down, and she then sat down across from him. It seemed that he was questioning a convict.

Looking at her, Jay moved his eyes but then continued, "Lilith, I remembered you said that you feel weird about our relationship right now, right?"

"Jay, don't misunderstand me. I just...just..." Lilith mumbled.

"Lilith, that is my duty," Jay said directly since he understood what she was going to say.

Looking up, Lilith stared at him.

"As for the woman you met..." Jay paused for a while, trying to make all things clear to her.

Lilith trembled as she heard this. "Her name is Carmen. I stayed with her when I was undercover. Lilith, in fact, I know that you are eager to know what happened between us, right?" Jay continued in a soft tone.

Lilith straightened her back, looking at him silently for quite a while, and then asked, "Yes, I want to know what happened between you when I saw that in Florida. You and she..." Lilith stopped at the moment and kept trembling.

"I am in a relationship with her in Florida," Jay finally said directly.

Lilith began to gasp after hearing this and bit her lips to control herself. "Well, did you..."

"Yes, I had sex with her," Jay replied since he didn't want to lie to her.

Shocked, Lilith looked up abruptly, staring at him with a suspicious look. And soon, her eyes were filled with tears. A second later, the tears trickled down her cheeks.

Lilith felt like she was frozen.

"I am sorry, Lilith. I haven't contacted you for a long time, because I don't know how to explain it to you. I don't want to hurt you," Jay apologized. Lilith was like a flower in a greenhouse that was longing for a beautiful love. But Jay could feel that Lilith changed after he came back to Florida. So, therefore, he plucked up the courage to say that to her today.

"You are an innocent girl. You always see the beautiful things in life. But I can't lie to you because you are uncertain right now, so I have to tell you the truth," Jay continued.

Lilith quivered and kept crying silently. She was unable to control her tears.

Reaching out, she covered her face, but the tears still seeped from her fingers.

Jay felt his heart broken as he saw Lilith's grievance. Walking to her, he held her in his arms. "I am sorry, Lilith." He heated himself because he hurt Lilith so deeply.

"I am not going to ask for your forgiveness. If you hate me, I..." Jay continued.

"No, Jay. I don't. I know that it's your work. just..." She choked with sobs.

"Lilith," Jay called her softly. He was devastated and then tightened his arms, kissed her forehead, and looked into her eyes, "Lilith, I think we need to call it quits."

Obviously, Lilith was startled by his words. Looking up at him, she was trying to find out if he was joking.

"Jay, what did you say just now?"

"Lilith, our relationship is not as beautiful as before in your heart, isn't it?" Jay asked in reply, his eyes looking so desolate.

Lilith shook her head violently to show her attitude. She cherished him so much.

Jay felt so painful, and he found it felt hard to breathe.

Holding her face, he kissed her gently as if he was saying goodbye to her. And soon, he stood up and was going to leave.

Startled, Lilith hastily rushed forward, held him, and said with tears, "Jay, don't leave me. I am not going to break up with you."

She felt so desperate at the moment.

It was different from the silence a moment Jay's words made her feel so scared. Lilith felt that the sky had fallen down, and she was so helpless yet scared, so she could only hold him tightly, not letting him leave.

Jay stood there motionlessly, allowing Lilith to hold him behind, his hands hanging down. Gradually he clenched his hands into fists.

His shirt was wet from Lilith's tears.

She tightened her arms as if she was trying to keep him with her life.

"Jay, don't leave me alone, please. Promise me you won't leave me," begged Lilith with a shaky voice. She choked as a little kid and kept trembling.
