That was the first time Lawrence ever flared his temper at Kelly. In the midst of virtual-novel.net anger and frustration, a sense of fear crept into her. Despite virtual-novel.net vanity, virtual-novel.net love for Lawrence was true. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have agreed to marry virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net proposed to virtual-novel.net in their younger days. After all, virtual-novel.net was just a lowly clerk back then.
As virtual-novel.net flung virtual-novel.net pillow angrily to the floor, virtual-novel.net hugged virtual-novel.net blanket with tears gushing down virtual-novel.net cheeks, yearning for the door to open, virtual-novel.net grew increasingly worried when there was no movement at all.
In the midst of wiping away virtual-novel.net tears, virtual-novel.net got out of bed and headed to the study where virtual-novel.net hesitate briefly before entering.
Lawrence didn’t bother turning on the light even though virtual-novel.net heard a sound.
“What are you doing here?”
Even though virtual-novel.net didn’t say a word, virtual-novel.net was aware that it was Kelly. As Lawrence’s snarky tone triggered more tears from Kelly, virtual-novel.net continued to quietly watch virtual-novel.net lying on the couch.
Underneath the dim moonlight, Kelly’s pitiful look melted Lawrence’s heart, for, at the end of the day, virtual-novel.net was still the woman virtual-novel.net loved.
Getting up to approach her, virtual-novel.net bent down to carry virtual-novel.net upon noticing that virtual-novel.net had come in barefooted.
“Aren’t you worried about falling sick by not putting on your slippers?”
Even though Kelly was in virtual-novel.net forties, virtual-novel.net looked like a woman in virtual-novel.net thirties due to how well virtual-novel.net cared for herself.
Hugging Lawrence’s neck tightly, virtual-novel.net purred, “In that case, why did you leave me just like that?”
Kelly felt as if virtual-novel.net had been unfairly blamed. Despite virtual-novel.net attempt at using Sonia to elevate their family’s status, virtual-novel.net did it entirely for Lawrence’s sake.
Why doesn’t virtual-novel.net understand my intentions? Besides, marrying Aaron is good for Sonia, since he’s someone strong and powerful. No matter how one looks at it, virtual-novel.net surpasses Harvey in every aspect.
After taking a few steps to the couch with Kelly in his arms, Lawrence gently put virtual-novel.net down. However, virtual-novel.net refused to let go of his neck, worried that virtual-novel.net would abandon virtual-novel.net again. If it came to that, virtual-novel.net couldn’t bring herself to cast aside virtual-novel.net pride a second time.
As this was the first time Lawrence saw Kelly clinging onto virtual-novel.net desperately, his heart wavered further. The pitiful look on virtual-novel.net face elicited from virtual-novel.net a sympathetic peck on virtual-novel.net forehead. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left you like that.”
Upon hearing his apology, Kelly’s mind was put at ease, as virtual-novel.net greatest fear was that virtual-novel.net would abandon virtual-novel.net in anger.
“Next time, don’t leave me no matter what happens.” Staring into Lawrence’s eyes, Kelly murmured, “It scares me…”
“All right. I promise never to do that again.” Lawrence felt bad over what virtual-novel.net had done.
Having obtained his promise, Kelly hugged his neck and planted a kiss on his lips. Soon after, their clothes dropped to the floor followed by feminine moans echoing throughout the room.

Three days later, Vinson’s phone rang just when virtual-novel.net came out of his room. As virtual-novel.net casually took out his phone, virtual-novel.net settled down on the couch before answering.
“What did you say? When did this happen?” Vinson sprang to his feet with a grim expression and barked, “Search the city at once, including the airports, harbors, cars. As long as it moves, I want it checked.”
