Chapter 192

Laurel’s POV

Blake’s words sent a thrill through me. Finally, something had gone my way tonight. I quickly took out my phone, angling it away from him, and texted the housekeepers at Twilight Mansion.

Prepare the guest bedroom next to mine. Fresh towels, new sheets, and those pills I brought. Make it perfect.

I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips. Tonight might be the night Blake finally stayed over. That old man wouldn’t be able to object to our engagement after that not without looking like a hypocrite.

But when I looked up, Blake wasn’t turning around toward Twilight Mansion. He was still driving straight ahead, toward Manhattan.

“Blake darling,” I said, confused, “didn’t you say you were taking me back?”

“Michael will send you back,” he replied without looking at me.

Before I could respond, Blake pressed down on the accelerator. The car surged forward, leaving me speechless.

He’s not taking me back himself?

His phone rang, cutting through the silence. Blake pressed the speaker button without hesitation.

“Sir,” Michael’s voice filled the car, “the car I arranged is heading to Twilight Mansion now. You should see it soon.”

“Good.”

“About Paris Night,” Michael continued, “it’s a small hotel like you thought. Ethan Davies ch

“Got it,” Blake replied, checking his phone before setting the navigation.

I watched him, his profile hard in the dim light, and finally found my voice.

“You’re going to find Audrey?”
