NovelEnglishChapter 1159:
Fear crept through Laney’s veins, her limbs heavy as she changed clothes. After much deliberation, she selected
an outfit that concealed her neck.
Though Cliff wasn’t one to rush people, the ten-minute wait had chipped away at his patience.
Laney jogged to the front gate, catching sight of Cliff's silhouette in the distance. She paused to catch her breath
before approaching him with tentative steps.
Today, Cliff wore a long-sleeved shirt. The dark fabric amplified his mature presence, his sharp features
commanding respect. He embodied both an elder brother and a stern father figure.
Unease kept Laney from meeting his eyes directly, but his deception still stung. “Weren't you out of town? Why
did you suddenly cback?” she asked, aiming for nonchalance.
Cliff's eyes traced over her tightly covered neck. “I didn’t go out of town,” he replied with cool detachment. His
brief words explained everything. Laney yearned to ask why but couldn't summon the courage. He would

They would surely bring tears to her eyes.
Laney lowered her head, her lips forming a small pout.
“You drank on an empty stomach last night. Drinking something warm now will soothe your stomach,” Cliff said,
stifling a sigh.

A subtle change flickered across Laney’s expression. She reached for the soup, feigning composure.
“The box is heavy. I'll take it up for you and check on your foot, by the way,” Cliff said, dodging her hand.
Laney hesitated, not wanting to prolong their ttogether. She made an excuse. “But my roommate is there.
It’s inconvenient.”
The theater had assigned individual apartments, but Laney’s fear of sleeping alone at night led her to stay with
Kailyn.
“How many roommates are there?” Cliff asked.
“One.”
“The one who dragged you back when you were drunk last night?” Laney nodded.
“She said goodbye tojust now when she left. So, which roommate is upstairs now?” Cliff exposed her lie
without mercy. Laney frowned, trailing behind Cliff as they climbed the stairs.
Steam wafted from the still-hot soup. Cliff ladled a bowl and set it aside to cool.
Laney glanced at it, which looked delicious. Her empty stomach rumbled at the mouthwatering aroma.
