NovelEnglishI Want To Lock You Up In the restaurant, Raegan and Henley were in the middle of their meal.
None of them spoke.
It was as if they were focused on each other's food.
Suddenly, a violinist approached their table and started playing.
Raegan listened quietly, thinking it was the restaurant's marketing strategy.
After the violinist played the song, she nodded in satisfaction and thanked him.
Suddenly, the violinist magically produced a large bouquet of red roses and handed it to Raegan.
Raegan was stunned.
She only stared at the bouquet without taking it.
The violinist noticed this, so he said, "Miss, congratulations! You are one of the lucky customers chosen for our second-
anniversary promo.
These beautiful roses are for you." Since the bouquet was part of the restaurant's event, Raegan no longer hesitated.
She took it from him.
At this moment, Henley suddenly stood up, walked around the table, and approached her.
Then he took out a jewelry box from his pocket and opened it.
There was a shiny diamond bracelet inside.
He asked in a gentle voice, "Raegan, will you be my girlfriend?” Raegan was taken aback, not understanding what was going on.
Why would Henley suddenly ask her to be his girlfriend? All the customers in the restaurant suddenly applauded and cheered,
"Say yes! Say yes!" Raegan was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide.
She asked in a low voice, "Henley, what are you doing?” She wanted to ask him what kind of drama he was trying to play.
He didn't even inform her in advance.
Henley raised his eyebrow slightly.
He said half- jokingly, "Don't you get it? I want you to be my girlfriend.” “What?” It was only then that everything finally dawned on
Raegan.
She hurriedly waved her hand.
"I...
No, I can’t.” Henley's eyes darkened slightly.
"Raegan, that woman at nine o'clock has been chasing after me from abroad to here.
I want her to know I have a girlfriend, so she will stop pestering me.
Can you help me?" "Henley, I...” Raegan didn't like to lie.
Last time, she only agreed to pretend to be Henley’s girlfriend because she had no choice.
Now, he was asking her to do it again.
She felt it was already a heavy burden on her.
Raegan was still hesitating.
But the cheers around her didn't stop.
She also noticed that the woman at nine o'clock seemed to be staring at them intensely.
Suddenly, she was in a dilemma.
But amidst the cheers, Raegan heard some boos from the crowd from time to time.
She turned her head and saw Aldo, who had mocked Henley earlier.
He gave them a thumbs-down, and he was booing disdainfully.
Henley lowered his gaze and_ smiled _ self- deprecatingly.
"If it's really difficult for you, forget it.
Don't force yourself." After saying this, he put away the jewelry box and stood up stiffly.
Upon seeing this, Raegan’s heart instantly softened.
Henley had helped her a lot.
Now, he was only asking her a small favor.
She felt it was unreasonable to refuse him.
Besides, she didn't want Henley to lose face in front of a scumbag like Aldo.
She held Henley's arm and quickly whispered, "Okay." Henley's eyes lit up at once.
He kneeled and gently put the bracelet on Raegan’s wrist.
"Raegan, I want to lock you up for the rest of my life.” It was only then that Raegan realized that the bracelet was in the shape of
a lock.
She didn't know if it was only her imagination.
But when Henley said those words, there seemed to be coldness in his eyes.
But it was so fleeting that it was not easily discernible.
When she observed closely, she saw that his handsome face was still as warm and affectionate as ever.
The doubts in Raegan's heart had not yet dissipated when she suddenly saw a familiar tall figure at the door of the restaurant.
It was Mitchel, standing there in a domineering manner.
His cold eyes were fixed on her, and she felt his gaze pierced through her.
The way he looked at her made her feel like she had done something disgraceful.
Instantly, the air inside the restaurant seemed to become thinner.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Before Raegan could react, Henley suddenly reached out and hugged her.
Raegan panicked.
She instinctively tried to push him away to break free.
But unfortunately, he hugged her so tightly that she couldn't even move him.
It seemed Henley hugged her in response to the cheers of the crowd.
Then he whispered in her ear, “Raegan, just for a moment.” Raegan's body stiffened.
Her breath was filled with a sense of a completely unfamiliar and refreshing fragrance.
It wasn't unpleasant, but it made her instinctively repel it.
The gaze from Mitchel in the distance seemed to create a big hole in her body, making her restless.
Fortunately, Henley didn't hug her for a long time.
He soon let her go.
Henley obviously wanted to hold Raegan's hand, but she dodged by taking the bouquet of flowers.
Henley noticed it, but he didn't show it on his face.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Let's go." Since Mitchel stood tall at the door, there was no way for Raegan to avoid him.
After all, this restaurant only had one door for the customers.
So, she had no choice but to walk forward.
Henley seemed to notice Mitchel now and paused for a moment.
Then, he wrapped his arm around Raegan's waist and greeted, "Mr.
Dixon, you're here too.
What a coincidence.” His words and actions were obviously provocative.
While looking at them, Mitchel's eyes darkened.
His body emanated an intense coldness.
He snorted coldly, "Do you enjoy taking over?" The contempt in his words made Raegan clench her fists.
Mitchel turned and fixed his eyes on Raegan.
He asked deliberately, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?” Raegan's face instantly turned as pale as a sheet.
He must have deliberately waited for her here to humiliate her.
She exclaimed angrily, "How can you be so shameless?” Mitchel curled his lips coldly.
"It seems you have forgotten our intimate moments in the car and the hospital ward.”.
