Chapter 228 What Are You Afraid Of?
âSheâs not at home. You should leave.â Lindsay shook her head.
âMrs. Baldry, before we came here, we had checked the surveillance footage on all the roads.
Kaliyah and Mr. Baldry left the auction venue and went straight home. Please cooperate with us.â
âWhy are you looking for her?â
âShe is suspected of instigating a crime and needs to be brought back for investigation,â the policeman snapped.
Lindsay said calmly, âThatâs impossible. Someone must have framed her.â
âMrs. Baldry, we wonât come here without evidence or warrant. Please cooperate with us.â
Just as Lindsay was about to argue, Cason opened the entrance to the basement. âKaliyah is down there.â
The police glanced at each other and went down to the basement to catch her.
When Kaliyah was taken out, her face was ashen and her shoulders were shaking. She tried to grab Cason. âCason, save me!â
âTell me everything you know,â Cason had been coldly looking at Kaliyah.
Kaliyah knew that Cason would not save her. She looked at Lindsay in pain. âMrs. Baldry, save me.â
Lindsay walked over in a panic. She looked at Kaliyah and said, âBe careful. She is pregnant. If something happens to her, you have to take responsibility.â
âMy belly hurts!â Kaliyah stopped as soon as she left the door.
âWhatâs going on?â Cason frowned, pulled the servants away, and held Kaliyah.
âCason, help. My belly hurts.â Kaliyahâs face was pale as if she was going to faint at any moment.
âSend her to the hospital,â the policeman said, looking at each other.
On the way back, Ainsley pressed the play button. Inside the car, there was a cheerful song. Lainey sat in the back seat and happily twisted her body.
âI didnât expect everything to be so smooth. I thought there would be a large group of people competing with me for PineMist Island. Ainsley is right.
Those people know nothing. You didnât see that when I was going to your place after the auction, Kaliyah, Aedan, and Irene all had long faces.â
Get Boys Ainsley smiled. âItâs all thanks to Lainey. Why donât we go eat together? Iâll ask Matteo to treat us today. I also brought Pearl Hotelâs membership card, so we can go there.â
Pearl Hotel?
Laineyâs face turned red. She quieted down and took out a mirror from her bag.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at Pearl Hotelâs entrance. The valet went to park the car. After Ainsley took out the membership card, the manager received them.
They were taken to a quiet area. They did not even need to choose a chef because the membership card was given by Roman.
When Roman walked in and saw Lainey, he was dazed.
The memories of yesterday still lingered in his mind. He didnât look at Lainey anymore and put down the menu. âMs. Easton, you can just order the dishes.â
At the same time, he placed the tablet in front of Ainsley.
Ainsley felt that there was something unusual between them. After randomly ordering a few dishes, she returned the tablet to him. âOther than the dishes that have been ordered, pick some dishes for us as you wish.â
âAlright.â
Roman left as if he was escaping. Lainey looked at his back with some sadness.
âLainey, did something happen between you two again?â Ainsley asked.
Lainey shook her head and refused to say anything.
How was she going to talk about the sex between her and Roman after she got drunk in the bar the night before?
Before the dishes were served, Roman carried a plate of soup and placed it in front of Lainey.
âDrink this Lainey looked down and saw that the soup seemed to be sweet.
âI donât want it.â She lowered her head and murmured.
Roman pushed the soup in front of her again. âYou have to finish it.â
The two kept doing this. Ainsley knew what was going on and covered her mouth to laugh.
Matteo noticed something and took the initiative to say, âWhy donât we sit down and eat together Get Bopti after the dishes are served?â
âNo!â Roman and Lainey said at the same time to Matteo.
After all the dishes were served, Roman glanced at Lainey and said, âCome here. I have something for you.â
Lainey was puzzled, but she still stood up and followed him.
Romanâs lounge was similar to the suite in a hotel because he was a top chef.
Lainey stood at the door, not wanting to get in. âWhat do you want to give me?â
âIf you donât come in, how can I give it to you?â
Lainey walked in. As soon as she entered, Roman slammed the door and pressed her against the wall.
âWhy did you run away that day?â
Roman panted as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.
â...â
That day, Roman was making Lainey herbal tea in the kitchen. Listening to the sound of cutting ginger, Lainey felt uneasy.
What happened that night was still vivid in her mind. Why did they have sex again?
Looking at Romanâs back in the kitchen, she could not tell whether she liked him or not, but her pounding heart meant everything. In a panic, she limped out of Romanâs home.
âAnswer me.â Romanâs eyes were red.
Lainey looked away from him and said hesitantly, âScared.â
âScared? What are you afraid of?â Roman narrowed his eyes. He didnât expect this to be the reason.
âIâm afraid that I will like you.â
Romanâs breathing stopped. He could not tell how he was feeling. He just felt his heart beat faster.
âWhy are you afraid of this?â
Ainsley and Matteo were enjoying the food in front of them. âMatteo, do you think they will be together?â
Get Bogus âItâs hard to say. One is always hiding, and the other always remains silent,â Matteo said calmly.
âToday, at the auction, I told you that Manuel gave me the proposal. You didnât seem to be surprised, and you didnât object to me meeting him.â
Matteo said expressionlessly, âYou donât need me to stop you, right? I can see it.â
Ainsley smiled bitterly. âIn fact, you were right at the beginning. I should listen to you. Irene is meant for him.â
Irene was ambitious, bold, and scheming. She would solve difficulties without any worries when faced with them. She would be a good help to Manuelâs career.
âNo two people will be found compatible from the beginning. I stopped your relationship with him.
because I was afraid that you would be hurt.â He did not warn Ainsley she should be alert after being hurt once.
âMatteo, can you give me an area to construct PineMist Island? It doesnât need to be big. Just a small area on the island will be enough.â
âOK, what do you want to do?â Matteo looked at her doubtfully.
âI canât say it for now. Itâs a secret.â Ainsley smiled.
âPineMist Island was won by you, and the Easton Group is also yours. You can do whatever you want.â Matteo smiled.
He had never thought of taking Ainsleyâs properties. He just managed them.
