Vera was speechless.

Oh gosh, she just wanted to confirm whether he was the person she thought. She was definitely not going there to get his phone number.

"I'm really not going there to get his phone number. I just thought that he looked like someone I knew, so I wanted to go over and confirm whether it's him or not."

"Oh!" One of the girls patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile. "Is this the excuse you just thought of? It seems to be quite useful as a pickup line. Let's use this reason too, that he looks like a senior from school.1'

Vera said, "You ..."

"Don't be so embarrassed. Let's go together." After saying that, the girl grabbed Vera's arm intimately.

Vera was speechless. She felt that she was going to lose control really soon, so she said angrily, "Hey guys, we do not know each other, right? Can you not hold my arm so intimately? Also, what I just said is true. He does indeed like someone I used to know. I just want to confirm it, and I'm not going to say a word to him. Please stay away from me now, thank you."

After that, the expression on her face became cold, and she looked at the other girl coldly.

The girls were stunned for a moment and they let go of her.

"Humph, don't be so full of yourself. Don't be so arrogant just because you are beautiful. How dare you look down on us."

"Exactly, she even said that she's not going to say a word to him. How am I supposed to believe it? Isn't it obvious that she's using this reason to go to him alone?"

"Let's not care about her then. Let's go replace him first."

"That's right!"

The few women walked forward together. Vera wanted to go over to take a look, but on second thought, if she relied on those women to chat up that person, it was possible that she would not have a chance to see his face at all.

As long as those people were standing behind him, the man would turn back.

Thinking of this, Vera decided to stand still and did not move forward. She intended to hide behind the car and wait to see what would happen next.

Vera held her breath and watched quietly. When the girls went over, they shyly covered their cheeks. After a long time, they asked, "Urn... Hi, you look like a former senior of ours. We are really fated to meet each other."

Because they were not too far away from each other, Vera heard what the girl said. She staggered and almost fell forward.

Was that person... being too honest? Did she really use that reason to flirt with him? What a terrible reason it was. Anyone could easily tell that she was deliberately flirting with him. Sure enough, the man continued to stand still, as if he didn't hear the girl's words. He stood there like a mountain, and the cold aura around him merged with the darkness of the night. After a moment of silence, the atmosphere became embarrassing.

Seeing that scene, Vera couldn't help but reach out to cover her eyes.

She really couldn't bear to continue watching. How could that girl be so stupid?

"Hey..." The girl probably didn't expect him to stand there motionless, as if he hadn't heard her words. It was as if he regarded them as transparent.

However, her friend soon reacted and said with a smile, "He must have thought that we weren't talking to him. Let's go to the front."

So the few girls went around the man, and their smiles were very shy.

"Well, that..."

Maddox frowned, and he could smell the strong scent of women's perfume. The perfume smell soon intoxicated the surrounding air.

These women.

"Cool dude, you..."

"Get lost!"

Out of the blue, Maddox blurted out a sentence.

They finally got him to speak, but what he said was like a knife coated with poison, stabbing straight into the hearts of the women.

In an instant, the faces of the few women turned pale. They were extremely pale in the night, like ghosts.

When Vera saw this scene, she couldn't help covering her lips and almost laughed out loud.

It was such a joke. In fact, from the fact that the man had never stood with the crowd, it could be seen that he was not a man to be trifled with. Those girls were also stupid enough to think that they could win his favor.

Alas.

However... the more the man acted like this, the more frightened Vera became.

If he was that person, he would probably react the same way too.

However... he was in a wheelchair all those years ago. Now, the man in front of her was standing up. She simply couldn't associate the two of them with each other.

Vera looked down and was lost in her thoughts. When she looked up, she happened to see the man with one hand in his pocket leaving in another direction with a cold expression on his face.

He was walking right in Vera's direction. Vera could see the outline of his facial features clearly. However, Maddox kept a cold expression, and his eyes didn't move at all. Therefore he didn't see Vera, who was stunned by the side of the car.

After Vera saw his appearance, she instantly felt as if a basin of cold water was poured down over her head, drenching her heart.

Maddox had already left the scene, but Vera was still staring at his back, unable to come to her senses. The girls who were scolded by him came over with red eyes. Seeing that scene, they became angry from embarrassment. Hence, they teased Vera and said, "Wipe your saliva away. You obviously like him so much, yet you just won't admit it."

Hearing their voices, Vera came to herself and looked at the girls in front of her.

She was not the one who was told to get lost, but her face was even paler than theirs.

One of them noticed that something was wrong with her face and asked curiously, "Why is your face as pale as a ghost's? You are not the one who has been rejected."

Hearing this, Vera took a deep breath. She couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

She only knew that the man who just walked over... clearly looked exactly the same as that person from five years ago.

He also looked... exactly like... Beanie!

How could it be?

Everything was too coincidental. How long had it been since they returned to Hidalgo? How could they meet him on the highway? It was incredible!

Maddox Yardley!

How did she end up meeting Maddox here!? Could it be that she had thought too much of Beanie's face, which was similar to Maddox's, every day? That was why she thought of the man in front of her to be Maddox?

Thinking of that, Vera didn't care how those girls looked at her and asked directly, "Did someone pass by just now? He did, right?"

Upon hearing that, the girls immediately looked at her as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Are you alright?"

"I think you've gone insane. Aren't you still staring at him?"

"Did he... really pass by?" Vera asked in a daze.

So did she really see Maddox?
