Chapter 1585

Chapter 1585 Not Leaving You Behind That was the first time Lawrence ever flared his temper at Kelly. In the midst of her anger and frustration, a sense of fear crept into her.

Despite her vanity, her love for Lawrence was true. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry him when he proposed to her in their younger days. After all, he was just a lowly clerk back then.

As she flung her pillow angrily to the floor, she hugged her blanket with tears gushing down her cheeks.

yearning for the door to open, she grew increasingly worried when there was no movement at all.

In the midst of wiping away her tears, she got out of bed and headed to the study where she hesitate briefly before entering.

Lawrence didn’t bother turning on the light even though he heard a sound.

‘‘What are you doing here?’‘

Even though she didn’t say a word, he was aware that it was Kelly.

As Lawrence’s snarky tone triggered more tears from Kelly, she continued to quietly watch him lying on the couch.

Underneath the dim moonlight, Kelly’s pitiful look melted Lawrence’s heart, for, at the end of the day, she was still the woman he loved.

Getting up to approach her, he bent down to carry her upon noticing that she had come in barefooted.

‘‘Aren’t you worried about falling sick by not putting on your slippers?’‘

Even though Kelly was in her forties, she looked like a woman in her thirties due to how well she cared for herself. Hugging Lawrence’s neck tightly, she purred, ‘‘In that case, why did you leave me just like that?’‘

Kelly felt as if she had been unfairly blamed. Despite her attempt at using Sonia to elevate their family’s status, she did it entirely for Lawrence’s sake. Why doesn’t he understand my intentions? Besides, marrying Aaron is good for Sonia, since he’s someone strong and powerful. No matter how one looks at it, he surpasses Harvey in every department.

After taking a few steps to the couch with Kelly in his arms, Lawrence gently put her down. However, she refused to let go of his neck, worried that he would abandon her again. If it came to that, she couldn’t bring herself to cast aside her pride a second time.

As this was the first time Lawrence saw Kelly clinging onto him desperately, his heart wavered further.

The pitiful look on her face elicited from him a sympathetic peck on her 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 her greatest fear was that he would abandon her 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 he 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 he came out of his room. As he casually took out his phone, he 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.’‘
