在野外被三个男人躁一夜

Chapter 867



She kept busy with the baby, using her as a distraction until she decided she could not stand being in the same place with him. She just needed some space to breathe without smelling his musky perfume.

“I am sorry, but something urgent came up with the foundation. I have to leave.” Amelia excused herself from the group after going to her room and grabbing her bag.

“But I am about finish with the meal. Aren’t you joining us for dinner?” Angela asked, concern written all over her face.

“I am sorry, Angela, but I can’t,” Amelia quickly responded, not letting her friend sweet talk her to staying. “Don’t wait for me. I might come back late.” She continued as she strode to Eida’s side, kissing Luisa, cradled in her friend’s arms.

She knew that her friends did not buy her alibi, judging from their expressions, but they would have to accept it as it was. She knew if she stayed, she might break down and cry.

She did not bother to look at him, but she could feel his eyes burn through her back. Or maybe it was just her imagination. She wanted him so much that her heart could not help but hope that he was here for her.

.....

That was just utterly insane.

Her heart was a fool.

Every minute she was with him made her crazy, longing for something she could not have.

“Ok. Drive safely.” Eida looked at her friend with sadness. She wanted to help her, but how could she?

She had kept her secrets to herself, so how could she ask Amelia to reveal what was going on with her life when she could not do the same? But she might have an idea what is going on with her friend.

She watched her friend leave the room, but she also noticed that her other friend had stayed quiet. Yet, his eyes never left her friend’s face. She could see how much he loved her, but both seemed stupid enough to let it slip away.

She could not allow them to follow in her footsteps. Not when they still had a future together. She had to do something about it before everything became too late for the two important people in her life.

“Evan, I know this is not my business, but are you just going to let her get away again? I don’t know what happened between you guys, but if you love her, fight for her.” Eida could not sit idly by while she watched her friends become miserable just like her.

Not when she could still try to do something for them.

“Eida is right, grandson. Don’t torture yourself because of a mistake you made in the past. As long as you swore never to break her heart again, I think it is time that you be a man and show her that you love her.” Angela also faced his grandson.

“I don’t know if she will ever forgive me or believe me that I did not do what she accused me of.” Evan finally shifted his face to his grandmother. “But I guess you are right. It is time that I face the consequence of my action.

He abruptly stepped away from her grandmother but immediately spun around to her side. “Thank you, Grandmama.” Kissing her on the cheek. Then, to Eida. “Thanks for forgiving me.” He knew that he did not only hurt Amelia with his stupid stunt but also the other two people in his life.

He quickly moved to the door, hoping he could catch up to her before she left. But by the time he had reached her car, she was already driving away.

“No, I am not letting you go this time.” Quickly, he ran to his car rental and rode it like a mad man. He could not let her slip from his fingers again.

He was a fool the first time he lost her. He would be crazy to do it over again. He revved his engine again, speeding up in the slightly light traffic. He could finally see her car on the street ahead of him. But the light turned red before he could cross the crossroad.

Now, he was losing sight of the car. He was following the other cars blocking his view. He tapped on the steering wheel, anxious for the light to turn green.

There was a point he wished to beat the red light, but he remembered what happened to Lance. He did not want to take that risk. He was not going to rush this. If he had to beg for all eternity for her to forgive him, he would do it.

“Finally!” He shouted, slamming his foot on the gas pedal when the light said go. He had to find her. He had to do what he was here to do.

But he was not yet far when he heard the blaring siren. He looked at his rearview mirror and saw the flashing lights. He did not doubt that the car was after him as it tailed behind him.

He had no choice but to pull to a complete stop, going to the side of the road. There was no point arguing against the cop when he knew what he had done wrong.

“Good afternoon, officer.” Evan quickly greeted the man in uniform as he stepped beside his side window.

“Good afternoon, Sir. Are you aware you were over the allowed speed limit in this area?” The officer checked his car and then stared at his face. “Can I see your license and registration?”

“I am sorry, but I am in a real emergency.” He attempted to plead with the cop, hoping that he might see reason. But he took his registration from the glove box on his dashboard and handed it with his license.

“What kind of emergency would that be that you would need to break the law?” The cop took his papers. “Are you sick, in imminent danger, or something? Mr. Blake?”

Of course, the officer did not believe his explanation because he did not understand what he was going through. Who would when all he kept doing was messing up?

“No, nothing like that, or maybe all of that,” Evan responded, a little frustrated since he could not explain that he was dying of a broken heart.

He had many opportunities to talk to her, but he kept waiting for the right moment. Now, he might have lost that chance. But, of course, he should not give up. One day, he would get this right.

“Is there a problem here?” The officer’s partner asked as she stepped into his line of sight. He believed she recognized her from somewhere. “Mr. Blake. I know this guy.” The female police officer told her partner.

Maybe there was still hope as an idea crossed his mind. That was if fate would favor him even this once. But he would need the aid of these helpful police officers to accomplish his plan.

Now, all he needed was to convince the two to help him. It might not be above board and a bit bending the law in his favor, but he had to do this if he would like to catch up with her.
