A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 31

Maria couldn't help laughing. "Are you serious? Not everyone is as capable as you and James, okay? Besides, people like you won't come to this kind of hotel. Relax. I assure you, no one will do anything to me here." She had stayed in this hotel for a long time, so she was confident about its security.

"Well, it's still my responsibility to make sure you are safe," Lawrence insisted. Indeed, it was his professional instinct. So Maria didn't argue anymore.

They walked together and entered the hotel.

Although they were alone, there was no embarrassment or ambiguity between them at all.

Lawrence and Maria got along with each other like siblings. Although she was older than him, he had always been protective of her.

As soon as they entered Maria's room, Lawrence checked every part and every corner. After making sure that there were no signs of danger, he decided to say goodbye to her. "Let's call it a day. I still have to meet James for a drink later. Then I have to rush back to S County after. Always take care, okay?" Lawrence was currently on a mission in S County. He only came back to H City today because he received a call from Maria this afternoon. Knowing that she was in trouble, he just couldn't take her for granted.

Maria had just opened a bottle of water and was about to pour a glass for Lawrence. When she heard him saying goodbye, she put the lid back and said, "Okay. Thanks for saving a bottle of water for me. Tell Nick to drive carefully."

"Okay." Lawrence walked out of the door. But after taking a few steps in the hallway, he looked back to Maria, who saw him off at the door. "Don't worry. I'll explain everything to James and ask him to smooth things over," he said. He was serious about it. He knew very well how James dealt with his enemies.

"Thank you so much. Remember to tell him to have more mercy on me to let me survive." Maria believed that as long as she was alive, she had the chance to win James' heart back.

They were together in the past. Now, she knew that they could still be together again. She just needed time and opportunity.

"I will. I'll go now. Bye!" This time, Lawrence walked away without looking back.

However, Maria stopped him again. She then asked, "Lowrie, how much were those shoes?"

Lawrence shook his head helplessly and answered, "Don't worry about it. I'll charge it to James' account and let him pay me back double in the future. After all, I have no plans of supporting my best friend's woman financially."

Lawrence knew Maria very well. She was the type of person who didn't want to owe anyone anything, especially money.

Maria and James used to be a couple. Since Lawrence said he'd charge it to James' account, Maria would not insist on paying him.

After thinking for a while, Maria said, "That's acceptable. Bye!" She then closed the door without hesitation.

Lawrence and Maria treated each other as siblings. But the truth was, they had each own reasons for getting along with each other.

Maria couldn't tell what exactly it was, but she knew that Lawrence had a reason why he was always there to help her. But she was sure that it had nothing to do with romance.

As for Lawrence, he knew what Maria was up to. She only needed someone to help her if something happened to her in H City, just like today.

Although she was his best friend's ex-wife, Lawrence didn't mind helping her as long as he could find the answer he wanted from her soon.

Lawrence rushed to Leopard Club, where he and his close friends always met. As soon as he opened the door to the private room, a man in yellow rushed to him and hugged him. "Why are you so late? We haven't seen each other for three months. I miss you so much!"

If Lawrence hadn't gotten used to the man's style, he would have punched him in the face.

Lawrence pushed the man away from his body in disgust and said, "Fuck off, man! You're getting more and more sissy every time I see you. I drove Maria back to her hotel, so I'm late.

Ethan wanted to retort. But when he heard Lawrence's last sentence, he almost choked to death on his own saliva. "Did you have sex with the enchantress Maria Song?"
