Rose couldn't believe that the commissioner really took Kyler away. She was not happy at all but worried.
Was it really worth it for Caesar to mess with the mayor for her? The mayor did have a quite heavy influence in the city.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm sorry, if I had known that something like this would happen, I wouldn't have brought you here."
"Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong. You don't need to apologize." Caesar affectionately brushed the tip of her nose.
He held Rose's waist and said to the people in the store, "This is my girlfriend. The man couldn't leave with his failure of pursuing my woman and that's why he said what he said."
Rose was really touched. She didn't expect Caesar to say those words to prove her innocence.
No matter what angle you looked at it from, Caesar was better than Kyler. And the two of them standing together made a perfect couple, who would believe Kyler's bulls*it?
There was now nothing but jealousy in the eyes of
the people standing around.
"Are we still having the food here?" Caesar asked thoughtfully.
"Since we are here, why not? Leaving now would only make us look suspicious." Rose pulled Caesar to sit down.
"I like your serious attitude."
"Sorry to keep you waiting. The dishes are here." The owner came over happily with the dishes.
Caesar specially opened a bottle of wine. Only then did Rose realize that he had just gone out to buy some wine.
"You literally drink wine whenever you are having food. Can't you just keep it off for once? You are beginning to look like an alcoholic to me."
"I'm used to it." Caesar had almost been soaked in wine and liquor for the past few years.
Rose frowned and said, "You don't have to attend so many social activities. Why do you like drinking so much?"
"I'll quit it in time." Caesar seemed unwilling to mention his past.
"Okay." Rose saw that he didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask more. They finished their meal quietly.
"Let's go back." Caesar escorted Rose home, but
this time he didn't go into the house with Rose.
"Where are you going?" It had already begun to feel strange to Rose that he'd leave the house.
"Go home and bring some things over. I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home." Caesar rubbed her cheek.
Only then did Rose relax. Thinking how nervous and reluctant she was when she thought he was not going to stay, she realized how important Caesar was in her heart already.
"Well, I'll get some warm milk for you. I'll wait for you at home." Rose bent down and kissed him on the cheek. In her heart, she had already regarded Caesar as her boyfriend.
Caesar's breath became heavy, "Baby, are you seducing me again?"
Rose's little face was covered with a layer of red blush. Every time he called her baby, his voice was particularly charming.
"I just want you to come back earlier."
"All right."
Caesar drove away, and Rose watched him leave. She had gotten used to being alone before he showed up.
After being with him, Rose almost couldn't stand one second without him.
Caesar actually went to the police station instead of home. He didn't wanna get Rose involved in this.
Kyler had been detained, and someone informed his family. Knowing the mayor was on his way here, the commissioner was so anxious that he paced back and forth in his office.
