Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 972

There was a customized black bulletproof Maybach with a golden dragon clearly inscribed on it. There were bodyguards stationed in front of and behind the car. Judging from the situation, it seemed that there was some important family event going on that day. Lauren glanced over and stopped in her tracks at the same time. She turned around and took a deep breath. Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind when she was about to find a spot to hide before she could leave. "Laurie..."

Lauren paused. She closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. She heard the voice again which got closer when she was about to walk away.

"What's wrong? It's only been a few days since we last met. Have you forgotten about me?"

Lauren remained silent. The person tapped on Lauren's head with a finger and continued, "Is it embarrassing to be around me? You tend to avoid me whenever there's someone else around! Should I bring you to an eye specialist?" Elijah could tell that Lauren was pretending not to see him again!

Judging by Lauren's timid personality, she would keep on hiding if Elijah didn't stop her.

Lauren blinked her eyes and turned around slowly. She was then staring at a well-poised, suited man before her.

"Elijah, I..."

After greeting Elijah, Lauren inadvertently took a glance at the entrance of East Bannpool.

Following Lauren's gaze, Elijah could guess what Lauren was thinking. He said, "You don't have to keep searching for it. Uncle and Mom aren't here! I'm here on business!"

Did that mean that he went through all these troubles to put on a show just to prove that he was powerful?

As soon as he finished speaking, Lauren changed her attitude completely. She grabbed Elijah's arm and said with a smile,

"I'm not worried about this! Elijah, what a coincidence. How is everyone at home? I miss you and Aunt so much!"

"Well, if you truly miss me, why were you trying to hide from me?"

Elijah raised his hand and flicked Lauren's forehead playfully. He frowned in disgust when she saw Lauren dressed in simple attire.
