Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 224

Michael’s POV

*Mr. Parker was following you? I couldn’t hide my surprise.

“Yeah.” Audrey sighed, looking out the window. “All the way to Pinehaven Village.

“Pinehaven Village? That abandoned place?” I frowned, keeping my eyes on the road as Manhattan’s lights flashed by. ‘Did you go there knowing hed follow?

“I’m not that petty,” she said with a short laugh. “I was visiting the old clinic, remembering a friend.”

I nodded, thinking about the coincidence. “You know, Mr. Parker does something similar. He takes Miss Rose to a hospital on the other side of town to remember someone.”

I glanced at her reflection in the rearview mirror, watching for a reaction.

“That area was almost a ghost town until Mr. Parker started visiting. Now it’s practically a landmark,” I continued. “The hospital’s been completely renovated. When Miss Rose was abroad, he’d still go on certain days and stay for hours.”

I paused. “You knew about this, right?”

“No,” she said simply. “I didn’t.”

“You didn’t?” The surprise in my voice was genuine.

Audrey’s lips curved into something between a smile and a grimace. “If Blake spent those days visiting a hospital with Laurel four years ago, then for the past three years, he’s probably been going there to remember her.”

Her voice turned bitter. “Why would he tell me about that?”

We pulled up to her apartment building. The streets were nearly empty at this hour.

“You can stop here,” she said, taking a deep breath. “I’ll walk from here. It’s late – you should get some rest.”

I pulled over without arguing. Something in her tone made it clear the conversation was over.

“Thanks,” she said, offering me a small smile as she opened the door. “Drive safe.”

I watched her walk toward the building, thinking about how different she was from Miss Rose. When I drove Laurel home late, she never cared if I was tired.

If she wanted a ride, I had to provide one, and she wouldn’t walk an extra step if she could help it.
