?Chapter 1371:


    Brendon went pale, then flushed crimson. No man could stomach that kind of jab—not in front of witnesses. His pride shattered like ss.


    “Are you saying I can’t—?” He choked on the words, then whirled on Gerry, desperation twisting into usation. “Or is he the one who’s useless in bed? How else would you know so much about it?”


    Christina didn’t flinch. Her voice remained calm, almost pitying.


    “I’ll say it once more: go see a doctor. Before your ego ruins what’s left.”


    Then, with deliberate grace, she slid her arm through Gerry’s and rested her head lightly against his shoulder.


    “Even if you don’t mind that yourself,” she added sweetly, “think about your poor wife. Don’t leave her in a constant state of frustration.”


    For a moment, the world seemed to stop. Gerry couldn’t help itughter burst out of him.


    “Pfft—ha! Bonnie, you’re merciless!” he remarked, nearly doubling over with amusement.


    Across from them, Brendon’s face turned an rming shade of red, while Ynda’s expression twisted in mortified fury. Her carefully painted smile cracked as she tugged on Brendon’s sleeve, but it was already toote.


    “Christina!” Brendon roared, his anger finally boiling over.


    Without thinking, he raised his hand to strike her.


    But before his hand coulde down, Gerry’s arm shot out, catching his wrist in midair.


    “If you want to touch her,” Gerry said coldly, his eyes burning with warning, “you’ll have to go through me first.”


    He tightened his grip.


    “Ah!” Brendon cried out, sweat beading on his forehead as painnced through his arm.


    “Brendon!” Ynda screamed, rushing to intervene—but before she could reach them, Gerry shoved Brendon backward.


    ?????????????? ?????? ?????????ν?????????????


    Both Brendon and Ynda stumbled, colliding and crashing to the floor in a tangled heap.


    Ynda groaned in pain, pinned beneath Brendon’s weight.


    Meanwhile, Gerry turned back to Christina with a proud grin.


    “Bonnie, am I impressive or what?”


    Christina blinked, then burst outughing.


    “Yes! You are impressive.”


    Herughter made Gerry’s chest puff up with pride. He looked positively radiant, basking in her praise.


    Unable to resist, he gave Brendon’s leg a light kick for good measure before returning to Christina’s side.
