Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 825

"You're actually pretty good at comforting people. Just give it a little more effort."

Clara never saw herself as the comforting type-especially not with men-but then Aiden said,

"No matter where you go, just take him with you. Don't leave him home alone to overthink everything."

Honestly, that alone was enough to make Dylan's day.

Clara wanted to ask more, but Aiden closed his eyes, looking exhausted, so she just got up and left quietly.

Back in the car, Ryan nodded toward a vehicle parked down the street.

"Clara, is that car following us?"

She answered, totally unfazed, "Took you long enough to notice."

It had been tailing her since she'd left home, not even trying to be subtle- definitely one of Dylan's guys.

She'd told Dylan not to have anyone follow her. He ignored her anyway.

Ryan figured Clara would be busy now-diving into her mysterious past, hunting down lost memories-so when she pulled up in front of a flower shop, he was caught off guard.

He frowned. "Shouldn't you be, I don't know, investigating your past or something?"

Clara, already picking out flowers, didn't even look up. "Anyone curious about my past will show up on their own. As for my memory, I have a feeling it'll come back soon. So for now, there's really not much to do. Might as well spend my time cheering up my man."
