Chapter 1762


    "Where should we go now? We can''t stay on the road the entire time, right? Will the policee


    check in on us if we stop by the road for too long?" Leah asked with concern.


    After all, she didn''t know much about how traffic worked in London. She was worried that they


    would identally get into trouble and end up returningte.


    "Don''t worry. We''re parked in a safe spot. We can stop here for a while and think about where we


    want to goter."


    Maria let out a long sigh and rubbed the area between her eyebrows wearily.


    "Do you have a headache?" Leah was worried.

    "A little," Maria nodded, "After I heard what Liam said about Celeste, my head started to hurt. I was


    the one who told you to let the past go, but look at me now. I totally deserve feeling like this."


    "Don''t say that. That''s how things work. Even if we think that we''ve finally epted the harsh truth,


    it''ll still hurt us when we confront it head on. I believe that we''ll get through this very soon. We''re not


    the type of people to wallow in self pity after


    all."


    Leah herself seemed to have gotten over the whole situation, but Maria still seemed a little upset by


    it.


    "Do you have any good suggestions? Where do you think we should go?" Maria looked at her,


    hoping that Leah could rmend a nice ce for them to loiter around for a bit.


    Leah thought long and hard. Eventually, she thought of a ce, and the corners of her lips curled


    up into a smile.


    When Maria saw the smile on Leah''s face, she realized that she must''ve thought of something.


    Sure enough, Leah suggested, "Is there anywhere nearby for us to get a massage? Shall we treat


    ourselves to a 2-hour massage to rx?"


    "Oh, Leah, you''re so considerate! I think my headache will definitely be gone after the massage.


    Alright, let''s go find a massage parlor nearby. After that, we can rest there for a short while before


    heading back. Otherwise, I don''t think I''ll have the energy to face Liam."


    Maria was in favor of Leah''s proposal.


    After that, they drove to a massage parlor. Soon enough, they found one nearby that was open.


    When they walked in, they asked for two beds. Then, two female masseuses went up to them and


    massaged them ordingly.


    As expected, the masseuses were really professional. A few minutes after they started to massage


    Leah and Maria, the two women felt all the tension leave their body and they began to rx. Their


    mood improved significantly.


    Meanwhile, Liam and Ernest, who were both unable to contact the two girls, paced around


    anxiously.


    When the two men met upter, Ernest briefly exined the situation to Liam.


    Liam frowned, "Ernest, do you think it''s because they heard what we were talking about in the gym


    just now? Otherwise, why would they suddenly leave like that? That''s the only reason I can think


    of."


    Ernest was shocked by Liam''s deduction. He frowned and gave it some thought, "It wouldn''t matter


    if they''ve heard our conversation or not, right? We talked about how we''ve left our feelings for


    Celeste in the past after all."


    "I''m just worried that they might''ve only heard part of the conversation. If they only heard the first


    part, they would''ve misunderstood us."


    When Ernest heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.


    He hurriedly said, "Let''s go check the surveince footage and see if that''s the case."


    Liam nodded in agreement. The two turned on theirputers and checked the surveince


    footage.


    As expected, they saw Maria and Leah appear at the door that led to the gym. It seemed that they


    had indeed heard parts of their conversation.


    After a short while, the two women could be seen leaving in a strange mood.


    Liam and Ernest exchanged knowing looks with each other.


    It was no wonder that the two women had suddenly disappeared. It turned out that they had partially


    overheard their conversation.


    It seemed that the both of them had heard them admit that they used to like Celeste.


    Liam was a little annoyed. He looked at Ernest and sighed, "Ernest, you''ve got me in deep trouble


    this time. I was just trying to be a good friend by asking you about your problems! I can''t believe my


    good deed ended up causing my girlfriend to misunderstand me. What should I do now? I''m flying


    back to Northern City tomorrow. I don''t know if Maria will be able to forgive me before then."


    "I''m sorry, Liam. I didn''t think things would turn out like this. I''ll exin everything to them now!"


    After that, Ernest made a direct call to Maria instead of Leah.


    However, Maria and Leah had silenced their phones.


    At that moment, they were lyingfortably on the massage bed and were enjoying the


    masseuses'' skillful hands that were working the tension out of their bodies.


    No one paid any attention to their phones. Maria''s phone was in her bag.


    Ernest called Maria continuously. Even so, no one picked up the phone.


    After a long while, Ernest had no choice but to call Leah again. However, Leah did not answer her


    phone as well. Ernest felt his heart ache from being ignored.


    Later, Liam and Ernest took turns calling the two girls, but none of them answered the calls.


    Eventually, three hours passed.


    After the massage, Leah and Maria slept on their beds for over an hour. When they woke up, they


    felt rxed but hungry.


    Maria then asked Leah, "Are you hungry?"


    "Yes, very much so."


    "Me too. I''ll take us somewhere to eat. What would you like to eat? Shall we go eat at the Michelin


    Restaurant?" "I''m fine with anything. I think I can stomach a whole cow at this point."


    "I feel the same. It''s been a while since west ate. Gosh, I feel so much better now after the


    massage. Let''s go get something to eat then go shopping somewhere. Shopping is the best way to


    cure people of sadness after all. What do you think?"


    Leah nodded in agreement, "I think that''s a great n. We''ll do that, then. I want to buy some things


    for some of my friends."


    She was nning to get her close friends some local souvenirs as gifts.


    Maria drove Leah to the Michelin Restaurant for dinner. They ordered a bunch of dishes and ate a


    lot of desserts as well. They were in a really good mood.


    Neither of them thought to check their phones.


    They didn''t want to think about their boyfriends at all. Their mood had only just been lifted for a short


    while, and they didn''t want to get upset again so soon.


    As such, the two did not answer their phones, nor did they have the urge to check them.


    After dinner, they made their way to the mall and bought a bunch of gifts. The car was almost filled


    to the brim with their purchases.


    With that, another three hours passed.


    Meanwhile, Liam and Ernest were getting more anxious as time went by.
