Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 359: No regrets...

With Jessica awake, Davis rounded off his work as they both left his office, heading downstairs towards his car.

After her arrival, she had instructed the driver to return the car and told the guards not to bother waiting since she was just coming over to the company briefly.

She was certain that if she arrived at Davis’ office, he wouldn’t allow her to leave alone and not just that, but she also needed some rest.

As they reached at his car, the driver was already waiting for them, along with just three guards who had been on standby.

Davis helped her settle down before he slid in beside her, and the door shut closed with a light thud.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, silently asking for direction. Davis, noting the brief pause, spoke calmly, "Drive to the hospital."

The driver left the parking lot and headed towards the gate. As it pulled out of the company gates and joined the highway, the shadow guards followed, merging into the traffic effortlessly like ordinary commuters.

Seeing the car pull away from sight, Luke Norman stepped out of the shadows. His gaze trailed the car as it disappeared down the road.

His fist clenched briefly, and taking a deep breath, he released his hand and stepped forward but was halted by a voice behind him.

"Are you really just an assistant like you made Davis believe?" Vera asked, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She had been lurking in the shadows just to observe Davis and possibly to get a handle on him.

She wanted to observe whether Davis was really treating Jessica well behind closed doors or if it was just a camouflage to get what they wanted.

But she was more shocked when she found another shadow lurking around with his fist clenched, an attitude that piques her curiosity.

"Miss, do I know you?" Luke asked, turning to her.

""You may not know me," she said, stepping into the light, "but there’s no harm in introductions. We could get to know each other right now." Her smile was light but probing.

Luke stared at her in silence for a while as though he was just seeing her for the first time while he contemplated his options.

After a brief pause, he spoke, his voice cold and devoid of emotion. "Well, I guess you are right. Hello, ma’am." He greeted her with distant politeness.

Noting the ice in his tone and subtle disdain laced in his words, Vera’s face twisted into several shades of colour, her anger palpable.
