However, Stephan didnât say anything.
Hence, continued by saying, âItâs the middle of the night. What if something happens to Ms. Fuller? That would be a disaster.â
Stephan shot him a sharp glance, his eyes as piercing as blades. In the end, he finally spat out two words, âTurn aroundâ
âOkay.â The driver released a sigh of relief and immediately inade a Uâtum at the next intersection, Immediately returning to where they had left Felicia.
However, Pelicia was no longer in sight when they got there.
The driver let out an awkward laugh and said, âMs. Fuller mostâve taken a cab.â
Stephan frowned, his voice icy. âDid you see any cab pass by just now? Check over there.
He pointed to a roadside lined with cherry blossom trees. Though it wasnât the blooming season for the blossoms, a car was parked under one of the trees, and next to it stood two figures.

There was no need for questioning. The only one who could heal Maurice was Felicia.
No wonder Felicia had gotten out of the car so decisively, eager to end things. It was because someone had been waiting for her
Stephan let out a low, bitter laugh laced with selfâmockery. âLetâs go.â
âYes.â The driver didnât dare say anything else nor dare glance at the rearâview mirror to catch Stephanâs expression. Just the sound of his cold, mocking laugh was enough to send chills down his spine.

She stopped in her tracks, only to be surprised when Maurice stepped out of the car.
âWhat are you doing here?â Of course, Felicia didnât bother to
âI donât want to talk to you. Felicia turned on her heel to leave.
However, Maurice didnât get back in hiscar. Instead, he followed her unhurriedly.
Perhaps to ease Feliciaâs guard or maybe he was wary of the silver needles in her hand, Maurice always raised his hands in a gesture of surrender whenever Felicia glanced back at him. Moreover, he kept a fiveâyard distance the entire time.
After walking like this for a while, Felicia finally lost her patience. She stopped, her tone full of irritation as she questioned, âMaurice, what do you want?
He should just get it over with the had a tatck up his sleeve. Instead, he loept annoying her like this!

Felicia colled her eyes hard, thirlding that this guy was crazy. She wouldâve laughed in his face if he had any shame.
Maurice spread his hands, feigning innocence. His expression suggested that he didnât care whether she believed him or not.
After that, Felicia quickened her pace, wanting to get as far away from this lunatic as possible.
