It was Maurice. He walked out with Brenda in his arms. Aleigha looked at them. Brenda was lowering her head in silence.
Maurice,on the other hand, was gently smiling.
"I'm good."
Aleigha smiled faintly and took a few steps back, keeping him at arm's length.
"Then, see you."
Aleigha did not reply. She said in her heart, "I wish I won't see you again."
Maurice did not let Brenda stand in place waiting for him, but pulled her together to the rain.
Adrian pulled up to the side of the road and trotted up to Aleigha. He took off his shirt and covered Aleigha with it.
Then he put his hands over her head.
Ill -.1.1 - H
Lets go.
Aleigha put her arms around his waist. They quickly ran to the car.
Maurice sat in his car and watched them from a distance. He didn't know why, but he had a strange feeling.
Brenda was sitting in the passenger seat. She didn't dare to utter a single sound. Her body was still trembling slightly.
"Get out of the car," Maurice suddenly said.
Brenda was slightly stunned. Then, she took her purse and got off.
The car sped along the highway.
Maurice was irrationally upset.
He ran three red lights in a row and was finally pulled over by the traffic police.
Coincidentally, Adrian was pulled over for a breathalyzer at the same place.
"That guy seems to be Maurice."
Aleigha looked out of the window and saw a man getting off from a supercar. In the dark, his face was not that clear.
Adrian handed the policeman his driver's license and passed the test.
"Looks like he ran a red light." Aleigha noticed the policeman was asking Maurice questions.
Adrian looked over. Then, he opened the car door and got off.
Maurice was pretty wild and wacky. Apparently, he was not a rule follower.
There was always an evil smile on his devil face.
But at this moment, he seemed a bit upset.
He sounded unusually impatient. "I'm gonna go. If you want, come to my company tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, Sir. You and your car are not going anywhere."
The traffic policeman looked very serious. He didn't know who Maurice was.
"I'm busy. You can call my assistant, and she'll take care of it." Maurice took out a cigarette and lit it.
"What's the matter?"
Adrian came to them.
"He's suspected of exceeding the speed limit."
The traffic policeman looked at Adrian and his tone softened a little.
"I'll be his bail bondsman. You keep his car and we'll come to you tomorrow morning."
The traffic policeman looked at Adrian and then Maurice. Soon after, two traffic policemen came over.
After discussion, they agreed.
"Mr. Xiao, without you, we wouldn't let him go. He was against the law.
"I hope you can keep your word. We must see him tomorrow morning." Adrian nodded with a calm face. Then, the traffic police towed Maurice's car.
It was almost done. Adrian turned around to leave.
"Adrian, as long as you don't stop me from dealing with Jaidyn, we can still be friends."
Maurice said as he smoked.
"My attitude is the same. I won't take the initiative to go against you.
"However, I'm Jaidyn's friend and I will help him."
Adrian walked straight to his car without looking back.
Watching him drive away, Maurice took a few puffs of smoke and threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground.
When they got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Aleigha took a hot shower and was ready to go to sleep.
