S31 51. Problematic Partner

“Why are you so strange? Earlier you showed compulsion, but now you are forcing me to come with you. Are you afraid that your brother

will be angry if he finds out that you have abandoned me in the

middle of the road?”

This time, Jeremy didn’t let Ava off the hook. He caught her other wrist, then stared at her intensely.

“Yes. I don’t want to argue with my brother because of your problematic behavior. Now let’s get in the car.”

Ava snorted in amusement. “If you argue with your brother, it’s your fault. It’s your personality that’s causing the problem, not mine.”

Jeremy snorted tiredly. Without further ado, he lifted Ava onto his shoulders. The girl could not help but gasp.

“Hey! Put me down! I don’t want to share the car with you! I’d rather wait for a taxi than have to deal with your arrogance and accusations.

Ava pushed Jeremy’s back, trying to separate her body from the man. However, Jeremy’s arm was too strong. He brought her to the car door. When she was about to run away, he had already trapped her with both arms. Ava was now sandwiched between the car and the man’s cold gaze.

“Listen to me carefully and don’t look around.”

“What if I don’t want to?”

Just before Ava turned her head, Jeremy grabbed her chin.

“I said don’t look around,” he said firmly with a firm look in his eyes. Ava finally saw the seriousness there.

“Okay,” she sighed, calming her breathing. Her eyes moved around checking every corner she could reach. “What is going on?”

“A car has been following us since earlier.”

Ava checked her memory. “That black car?”

Jeremy nodded. “Yes.”

“I was suspicious before, but I thought the car engine had a problem.”

Jeremy shook his head faintly. “And now, there are two other cars on that side of the road.” He moved his head in the opposite direction.
