By the time they arrived at where their car was, Declan led her to get into the car.

“Declan?”

“You just rest here. I can go inside myself.”

“But…”

“Roxy, you promised not to push yourself. I don’t want you to get sick. Your health is my top priority.”

In other words, if Roxy fell unconscious right now, Declan would cancel his departure and postpone his meeting with his birth father. Roxy didn’t want to be the one to get in the way of the first meeting between the father and son.

Although Declan never talked about it, Roxy knew that Declan was looking forward to his reunion with his father.

“Okay. I’ll rest here and wait for Kris, then go straight home. Are you happy now?”

Declan smiled in satisfaction as he nodded his head and rubbed the top of Roxy’s head. “More than happy.” Declan pulled Roxy’s neck gently to kiss the girl gently. “See you tomorrow.”

“I thought you’d be back in two days.”

“Well, I can’t be apart for more than two days with you.”

Roxy laughed, amused at that. “Alright then. See you tomorrow.” and the two kissed again before Declan walked back towards the departure gate.

Unbeknown to them, someone watched their interaction, and after confirming Declan had entered through the boarding pass checkpoint, the person spoke through his earphones.

“The target is alone now. Block that guy.”

On the other hand, Roxy stroked her stomach. She felt it was spinning ever since Declan left her. Roxy felt uneasy, and the hairs on her neck rose. Was it because Declan wasn’t by her side, or because she came to the most traumatic place?

If she knew this, she wouldn’t be coming to the airport, but… Roxy still wanted to see her fiancé’s face a little longer.

Roxy gasped in surprise when she realized something she had not been aware of. Roxy had never felt an intense longing when left by the person she loved in her whole life. When Robert went to England to study abroad, Roxy felt sad but did not feel this longing.

Well, her feelings towards Declan and Robert were much different. 

She thought no one would be able to love her for who she is, let alone make her fall overhead heels with someone. She never expected that she would fall in love with someone to death.

Roxy was a wild and unrestrained girl since childhood. Even her parents sometimes raise a white flag when handling her.

They may have been able to control her when she was a child, and her mother often advised her to make her change for the better. Roxy did change, but that was because she wanted to please her mother.

Unbeknownst to her mother, Roxy kept acting and making trouble here and there without her parents knowing.

In the end, her father grounded her by locking her in her room and not being allowed out of the house for several days. Even so, Roxy managed to escape on the second day after finding a secret passage in her room.

Roxy chuckled as she recalled her wild past. Thinking of her childhood memories made her mood gradually improve, and she no longer felt nauseous.

Roxy glanced at the clock on her phone screen and wondered when Kris would arrive.

Speak of the devil. Kris called her in the nit time.

“Miss Zouch. I’m sorry, the roads here are clogged, and there is an accident ahead. I’ll be turning around, but… I doubt it’ll make it in time. Do you mind if you wait a little longer?”

“No need to come. I can go home alone.”

“But…” Mr. Black will kill me if he finds out I don’t drive you home. Cried Kris inside his heart.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell Declan. Let’s just say you’ve arrived and taken me home. As long as we’re both silent, he’ll never know.”

“…” Kris never expected his master’s wife to have such a naughty idea and dare to trick his master. “If you say so. But please do let me know once you get home.”

“Okay, okay.” Why does everyone in this world treat her like a child?

Convinced that her condition was not as bad as before, Roxy started her car engine and drove her car out of the airport area.

The moment she entered the crowded city area, Roxy groaned in frustration because the streets in this city were overcrowded that she couldn’t move.

Roxy had asked Kris which areas were jammed, so she avoided Kris’s path, but apparently… the roads here were also full.

Roxy had no other choice but to follow the relatively deserted path, and the green light flashed. When she got another red light, Roxy sat down while turning on the radio to find an alternative route.

Not long after, Roxy’s phone received a text from an unknown person making her frown in confusion.

“When the sky meets the earth, it’s time to jump.” Roxy read the text out loud while trying to digest the meaning of the text. “What the hell? Who sent this ridiculous text.”

Beeps! Beeps!

Roxy quickly threw her phone aside as the car behind her honked its horn. She just realized the green light was on, and she didn’t drive while the cars in front of her were already moving away.

Roxy steered her car, but instead, she headed to the opposite road to Declan’s apartment. She was unfamiliar with this area and needed the help of a map-guidance app.

Luckily she ran into another red light so she could reach for her phone and open the map-guidance app. Alas, her phone signal suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason, and the app was running rather slowly.

Roxy took a deep breath and tried to call Kris back. However, she couldn’t contact the young man because her phone signal was literally gone.

Having no other choice, Roxy continued to drive her car along with the current in search of her phone signal.

Little did she know that someone controlled this heavy traffic jam and the red-green light to guide her in their wanted place.
