All Chapters of Married to The Problematic: The Jerk is Crazy Over Me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“You ask if I would be happy if God called you? The answer is no. It would be as if He had taken half of my soul. Would you be happy to become a soulless zombie?” –Jiji–***[Hi, Ji... busy?]A message popped up, distracting Angie, who daydreamed about the man who had just left her apartment after saying goodbye. The name on the screen made her heart race faster, accompanied by a sweet smile on her flushed face.Was Jordan so missing her that he reached out and asked about her busy schedule in the middle of the night? Didn’t he think she might be asleep and drifting off to dreamland?[Sorry, I just checked the time. You must already be asleep.]Another message came in, and Angie quickly typed some words. She sent one message and hoped for another reply, so their conversation kept flowing until she didn’t notice the time had reached one in the morning.Angie stopped her activity, looking at the wall clock where the second hand kept moving while she hadn’t received any news from Mike. H

“If I survive, tell me, what do you want? Freedom? I’ll give it to you.” –Mike–***Mike’s parents stared into the room through the large window when Angie arrived. She couldn’t speak. Her steps, which had been quick with impatience to get to the hospital, were now slow, as if her feet were stuck in the ground.She hoped it wasn’t serious. Perhaps her mother-in-law was overreacting because Mike was her only son—finding her son in trouble, which parent wouldn’t be worried?Angie’s jaw nearly dropped when she saw the man in the room wasn’t just receiving treatment for being unconscious—it wasn’t a minor issue as she had imagined, but something more serious. Mike, her husband, was lying there with his chest exposed, covered only by bandages. Several life-support machines, like the ones she had seen on TV, were attached to various parts of his body.To be honest, Angie had never seen those devices up close before. Still, this time, she was seeing them right before her eyes, and the one re

“You’re right. When one of us disappears, it’s as if half of our soul leaves our body. I feel it now.” –Mike– *** Angie shook her head, refusing the man’s decision, even with tears streaming down her face, but Mike, without looking at her, threw several bills and a card at her feet. She froze for a moment until Mike finally spoke. “Use it to meet your needs, whatever they may be. I promised to cover your tuition until you graduate, and your mother’s medical expenses until you graduate. You deserve it for your efforts over the past few months.” “No, Mike. What about you? I’ll stay here to fulfill my duties as your wife,” Angie said, refusing Mike’s order even though she knew he would never accept any form of refusal. “You weren’t my wife from the start. We married for convenience.” “Mike, are you serious?” The mother approached Angie, holding her shoulders and trying to offer any support she could. “You chose her yourself. Is it fair to say that because you don’t want to complic

“Do you want to know how it feels when I can’t find you anywhere? Empty. Like a body without a soul. Is this what you call ‘half a soul gone’?” –Mike–***“Greg, Jimmy, Jiji's not here!” Mike shouted, causing the two men fighting the criminals to turn their heads.This was an opportunity for the kidnappers to escape, and Greg and Jimmy weren't interested in chasing them because their focus now was on his sister, whom he couldn't find anywhere in the room.The building only had a few large rooms, and it seemed impossible for Angie to disappear. Someone must have kidnapped her and taken her away.They were so careless that they didn’t even notice it.“Where’s Jiji? What are you doing here?” Mike asked, pointing his gun at Jimmy, who raised both hands. He just stared at Mike, who looked helpless without his strong legs. But he felt no pity at all. Mike was still a dangerous man. “Tell me where she is!”“I came because she called me. And when I arrived here, she was still in the room, try

“I was wrong. You’re not a cute little rabbit, but a poisonous snake. However, I’ve grown so accustomed to your venom that it’s like breathing oxygen. So don’t ever leave, or I’ll die.” –Mike– *** Angie began to notice Mike’s presence there. Mike, who had been lying on the ground, struggled to reach for the wheelchair and stand up, and somehow, despite trembling, the man managed to steady himself while keeping his hands gripped. Angie, after successfully subduing her attacker, turned around and rushed toward Mike, who was now staring at her with a questioning look. “Mike... did you come to pick me up?” Angie asked, full of hope, but Mike didn’t respond except with the same blank stare. “Who are you really, Angie?” Mike, without mincing words, immediately confronted Angie with a question that left her speechless. Not to mention, the barrel of Mike’s gun was also pointed at her. It was only natural for Mike to ask that question. He had just witnessed an unexpected event right befor
