Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0396

Remembering what Annie had told me when she met yesterday, I felt like there was a chance she had gotten impatient and wanted to let Nicholas know how she truly felt. Very quickly, Annie confirmed my suspicions.

Annie's voice, from inside the room, sounded as she said, "Mr. Hawk, I'll be honest with you. I don't think the wedding will be able to continue on as unplanned. Pete has probably run away with Ariana by now." Nicholas sneered. His voice was laid back and confident as he said, "I think you've gone mad."

The few of us on the other side of the door exchanged glances. If it weren't for Yasmine covering Leo's mouth, Leo would have burst out in laughter.

Pete turned around and met my eyes. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. But once he met my rational gaze, he instantly calmed down.

Annie's suggestion was already shocking enough. I didn't know how much of it Pete knew. There was even a chance that he had been the one to orchestrate it. However, it would not be beneficial for us if we allowed Annie to continue speaking. Just as I was about to knock, Pete suddenly stopped me and placed his finger on his lips, gesturing for me to be quiet.

Then, he leaned toward my ear and said softly, "Continue to listen in, and you'll find out about the secret that I wanted to tell you."

I froze momentarily as my heart beat rapidly. A bad feeling began to creep into my heart as I blinked my drying eyes while staring directly at the door.

Annie's voice was filled with amusement. "Mr. Hawk, did you not notice that my groom is missing?"

"No matter where he went to hide, he would not be able to escape this marriage. At the end of the day. the two of you will be married. That fact won't change!"
