Chapter 145


    Dawson Immediately got the hint fromn and joined in the teasing. “What a splendid Ideal Attorney


    ra won’t have to face awsuit, and our Mr. Hayes gets hitched. It’s a win–win. How perfect!”


    He even went as far as to sh a “perfect” sign right in front of Heidi’s eyes.


    Heidi was so furious that she could almost bite off her tongue. Was she inadvertently weaving a


    wedding gown for ra?


    Heidi’s face was a canvas of emotions, turning from pale to flushed in seconds. She couldn’t help


    but let out a cold chuckle internally. She shotn a re. “In your dreams! I’d rather do time than be


    with you!” Then, she spun on her heel to leave.


    He held onto ra’s hand with a tenacious grip, and his eyes brimmed with an indefinable sorrow.


    It was almost like watching a lovesick drama.


    As Dawson watched his boss trailing after ra, he turned to Heidi with a cocky tilt of his head.


    “Ms. Heidi, see that? True love can change a person. When have you ever seen Mr. Hayes this


    clingy? He’s like that only with Attorney ra. They’re quite the pair. Don’t you think?”


    With a nod and a smug smile, Dawson tipped his hat to Heidi and sauntered out.


    Heidi’s rage was at a boiling point. In a fit of anger, she knocked a nearby first–aid kit to the floor.


    Her eyes, dark with malice, followed ra as she left. “ra, you won’t get away with this!”


    Just a few steps out, ra halted and turned ton with a frosty gaze. “Do you really believe I set


    you up?”


    ra scoffed. There was a hint of derision on her face. “I’m not Heidi.” She wouldn’t stoop to any


    means just to get what she wanted, especially when what she wanted was nowhere near being this


    man.


    He offered a bittersweet smile. His voice was slightly hoarse. “Let me take you home. I’ll handle the


    rest.”


    He escorted ra back to her ce and even got her somete–night grub. Then he just stood


    there at the foot of the building, watching her walk away.


    11:31


    He wanted to hold her from behind, follow her upstairs, and relive their wildest moments, He


    missed her so deeply it hurt.


    However, he knew that pursuing her now would only push her further away. He wanted more than


    ra’s body; he wanted her heart, devoted to him as it once had been. Memories of their past


    together brought a sour taste ton’s heart.


    No sooner hadn sunk into his car seat than he saw Anders and Ryker hustling over from the


    other side.


    “ra!”


    “Ms. ra!”


    They rushed to ra, scanning her from head to toe with worry and urgency in their eyes.


    “ra, are you hurt?”


    “What on earth happened? I’ve been trying to call you, but I couldn’t get through. Then that jerkn


    says you were kidnapped. We wanted toe rescue you, but he wouldn’t let us. Don’t tell me this


    was his scheme all along getting you kidnapped so he could y the hero and earn your


    gratitude?”

    Ryker was in full flow when suddenly someone kicked him in the rear. A chilly voice. followed from


    behind.
