"Yes, there is."
I curved my lips and mustered the courage to say, "If it's the latter, I'm worried that you might have developed
feelings for me."
He scoffed, "Worried? Are you saying that if | like you, it will make you uneasy?"
"Pretty much," | said candidly. "You have a good personality, a good family background, and you're loyal. It's hard
not to be moved by someone like you, but precisely because of that, it's impossible for us to be together."
"Impossible?"
"Yes, impossible."
| took a deep breath, looking at him earnestly. "I'm not a naive girl anymore. It's impossible forto willingly
walk into a dangerous situation knowing it's there. Your loyalty is a flaw in my eyes. Just now, you helped me, so
I'll help you deal with your parents. Other than that, let's be rational."
That night, after washing up in the guest room arranged by Madam Shaw, | lay in bed but remained wide
awake.
What did Frank say toearlier?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe said, "Charlotte, don't think you're the only one scared."
Before | could delve into what he meant, he had shovedinto the car and had the driver takeback.
As | adjusted my pillow and was about to turn off the light, the phone on the bedside table buzzed. It was Frank.
| frowned and answered the call. "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, his lazy voice cthrough, "Coutside. Quick, it's freezing."
"Oh." I got up, grabbed a long down coat, and went outside while putting it on.
As | was zipping up the coat, | unexpectedly bumped into a hard chest. | staggered back and looked up abruptly!
Under the streetlight, Frank was leaning against the car. He gasped as a result of the impact, his brows furrowed.
"Are you that unhappy aboutasking you to cout at night that you want to get yourself
killed?"
There was a faint smell of alcohol on him.
rubbed my nose. "I just wasn't looking where | was going. So you do know it's late at night? What's the matter?"
"Charlotte." His gaze was fixed on me, with subtle waves in his eyes, his tone cold and somber. "I've set New
Year's Day as the deadline. If | haven't heard anything about her by then, | won't wait for her anymore.

I was stunned.
| naturally understood what he meant by not waiting anymore.
My nails dug into my palms involuntarily, leavingfeeling somewhat dazed, awkward, and confused...
After a moment, | looked at him hesitantly. "You clearly said you wouldn't give up on her, Frank!"
He suddenly pulledinto his embrace. The minty scent mixed with the winter night's chill lingered at my nose.
"Just an early advance on a hug."
But he was considerate and soon letgo, dropping his usual casual demeanor. His eyes were tender, his words
clear and profound. "I wasn't sure before, but seeing you with Ryan today madelose control and want to
betray my initial intentions."
For the first tin front of him, | felt somewhat at a loss, entirely different from the feeling of being caught in
something shameful in the past.
It was strange, confusing, and long-awaited.
| took a step back awkwardly. "What makes you so confident that I'll agree?"
"I have confidence in everything."
Frank turned and opened the car door, handingsomething.
| was puzzled and didn't reach for it. "What's this?"
"Just had a late-night snack with them."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe seemed awkward for once. "They packed food for their girlfriends, and the server made a mistake with the
order, so you get a freebie." "Are you... drunk?"
| was tempted to be impulsive but was driven to calm down by reason. "Are you so sure that there won't be any
news from her in the next two days?"
As | said this, | didn't expect my words to be so prophetic.
His phone rang almost immediately.
After a brief conversation on the other end, he straightened up abruptly, nearly dropping the night snack in his
hand.
"Is the news reliable?" he asked.
