Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

The next day, Allen Rivera met Melinda Johnson’s live-in boyfriend, Marshall Jones, at the police station.

The guy was quite handsome, only 19 years old. Due to his work, his skin was tanned, with a lean yet muscular build. His slightly longer hair hung messily over his eyes, giving him a rebellious and cool appearance. Despite his untidy look, he was the kind of bad boy that young girls were often infatuated with.

Before Allen met him, the officers had already spoken to him, and it was said that the conversation did not go well.

There was a cynical air about him, as if he brimmed with anger towards society, often responding with aggressive comments.

Having read through the transcript, Allen asked Marshall, "According to your colleagues, you and Melinda Johnson have been breaking up recently. Is that true?"

"We were arguing," Marshall replied, tilting his head as he sat in the chair opposite, his face darkened. "Has the prosecutor never been in a relationship? My wife and I have small fights every three days, big fights every five days. That’s how feelings develop."

Unperturbed by Marshall’s sharp words, Allen continued, "Did you go home before the incident?"

"No."

"Did you buy her any nutritional products, like pastries, milk, or vitamin tablets?"
