Chapter 188

hapter 0188

Bathed in the twilight, Pete hunched over to brace me. He was trembling even harder than I was

Instead of being as arrogant as usual, he was at a loss for words. He hesitated as if he wanted to comfort me but did not know how to begin. What he did not realize was that this single hug was worth a thousand words.

I thought I would have to face society's judgment by myself. I thought I would have to endure everything until the internet "forgot" about me Though Pete did not say anything, I knew I was no longer alone

He had warmed my heart through a hug that I could not even get from my husband Pete had lit up the dark sky for me. Though it was nor dazzlingly bright, it was enough to illuminate my path home It's okay" I said, gently patting his shoulder. I'm fine."

Pese straightened up as a faint blush appeared on his cheeks." Yeah I knew you'd be fine with that thick skin of yours!"

Just as I was thinking it was not so bad having a childhood friend, he pulled this on me Well, now that I've seen you, you can go home

Rolling my eyes, I turned to go back inside. Pete followed me like a puppy wagging its tail estimated the distance between us before quickly jabbing the elevators close button.

Pete squeezed in without hesitation his handsome features scrunched together "Hey, have you no conscience? I just saved you!"

Get out How could a single man and woman be in a house alone?

Feeling tired, I closed my eyes. I did not want to think or talk about it. Suddenly, I felt a pressure on top of my head. Pete's fingers were brushing my hair. I opened my eyes to see my hair looking as messy as a bird's nest. Pete was annoying me. "What's wrong with you!"

Behind his gentle smile, he could not hide the intense murderous intent in his eyes. "Was it Nicholas?"

My hand froze as I was fixing my hair. Thinking of Nicholas's earlier reaction, I shook my head lightly. "It was Claudia."

As I walked out of the elevator, I turned back to see a complex expression flash across Pete's face. His brows were furrowed in conflict.

My heart sank a little. Nobody would believe and imagine that such a sweet and lovable girl could be so vicious. Leaning against my front door, my tone was flat.

"It's okay if you don't believe me."

Pete's eyes widened. "I didn't say I don't believe you I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with a woman!"
