MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 7 - Season 14 Episode 70

Seeing what was going on between Jake and Mark, Noah felt his mind had stopped working. When? What happened? How come he didn’t know?
Lu Lijuh went to Jake and held him back as he was worried that Jake might kill this guy.

Jake shrugged Lu Lijun’s hand and clenched his fists as he glared at Mark, “One more word and I won’t mind completing what I could not at that time.”

Just then one more guy arrived there and he was shocked to see what happened. Lu Lijun, Jake and Noah recognised him.

Mark did not give up and laughed again, “The royal who has a criminal record, such a shame for the royal family.”

Jake was about to hit him again but Lu Lijun stopped him and the newly arrived guy went to Mark to shut his mouth and looked at Jake, “Jake, let him be. Let’s not repeat the past. I beg you. I will take him away right now.”

Jake seemed to not have any hostile feelings towards this new guy and stopped while Noah was standing frozen in his place, trying to guess what exactly must have happened. He had seen Jake so angry after so long. He was like this whenever someone bullied Noah during their school days but after Lu Lijun became their friend, these three were not easy to bully and others stopped troubling them.

Just as that newcomer and the other three were about to take Mark away, Noah called, “Wait, I want to know what happened.”

Jake interrupted him, “You don’t need to know my personal matters.”

”It’s about me too. Why did he say it was because of me ….”

”He is lying to stir up things. Don’t pay attention. He was the same even when we were in school,” Jake said coldly.

”He is the one lying to you, Noah,” Mark said as he was being forcefully dragged away by his friend. “Shut your mouth Mark, for god’s sake,” the newcomer guy tried to stop him before Jake came to him and beat him even more. He had seen in the past how fierce Jake could be without caring for the consequences and he didn’t wish something like that to happen again.

Noah glared at Jake only to get a nonchalant look from him, “That Mark was a jerk even when we were kids. If you want to trust his words, then go to him and don’t come back to me,” Jake grabbed the car keys from Noah’s hand and turned towards the car.

”Let’s go, Noah. It’s not the time,” Lu Lijun said as he could see Jake would not like it if Noah went after that guy to know what happened. “We will find it out,” Lu Lijun assured him as he too wished to know it.

They were best friends and never hid anything from each other but a few things they had to. Like how Lu Lijun didn’t tell them about his marriage when he was in the past and tried to hide Jiang Yuyan’s reality from them but his friends finally found out. Jake had something he didn’t wish to share and Noah was till now hiding his true feelings for Jake.

Noah agreed to Lu Lijun as Jake was more important to him than knowing the truth. He could not upset his friend who was more than just a friend to him.

Jake was already in the driver’s seat and he was waiting for his two friends to sit in the car. Lu Lijun made Jake sit on the front passenger seat and he himself sat on the back passenger seat. There was silence inside the car. Jake focussed on driving, Noah looked outside the window while Lu Lijun sat quietly as if he didn’t exist in that car and wished his two friends to say something to each other.

Finally, Noah broke the silence, “Will you not tell us what happened with you and those guys?”

Noah only received silence in return and frowned as he resumed looking outside the window.

”I will drop both of you at your office and then leave,” Jake informed.

When they reached Lu Lijun’s office building, Lu Lijun spoke, “I’ll head out first.” Without a second’s delay, Lu Lijun stepped out of the car and left.

Noah just unbuckled his seat belt and was about to open the car door but Jake held his hand, “Noah.”

Noah stopped and looked at his hand that Jake held and then looked at Jake who was looking at him. Noah sat back comfortably in his seat saying he was ready to listen and only looked ahead.

He heard Jake, “Noah, I don’t know whether I am into men or women. All I know is I am into you.”

Noah didn’t know what he should say and simply looked at Jake with a gaze that was filled with so many questions but didn’t know what exactly to ask.

Jake spoke again, “Maybe it started long back even before I could understand who I should even prefer. Whether you are a man or a woman, my feelings would have been the same because it’s you, Noah. I only know you are the one for me and my heart only beats for you.”

Noah felt his chest tightening up and his throat became choked. Not a single word could come out to reply to his confession. He inhaled deeply and exhaled out, “You are late, Jake. When I needed you the most, you didn’t come to me. You have no idea what I have gone through.”

Jake could say nothing in his defence and stayed quiet.

”Treat your hands when you reach the office,” Noah said and stepped out of the car while Jake could only see him leaving. Seeing his retreating back, Jake mumbled. “I was indeed late that day and I can never forgive myself for it. Only if I had received your calls that day….” His eyes turned moist. Trying to calm himself, Jake drove away.
