I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 463

I tucked my phone into my purse. It wasn't that I disliked it. As long as I didn’t have anything else scheduled, the timing was manageable. The main issue was having steak for dinner right after having it for lunch; it just felt a bit much. But I was afraid he’d blame himself if he had genuinely forgotten, so I said, “I think it’s great. Let’s eat! Then we can go back and rest.”

Horace's expression immediately brightened, and he broke into a warm smile.

I asked him about his recent work, and we chatted just like we used to. He told me a few things, making me laugh from time to time, and the atmosphere grew steadily warmer.

Just then, the soft melody of the violin came to an abrupt halt. A few police officers approached our table and looked at Horace.

“You’re Horace, correct? We’ve received a report alleging solicitation. We need you to come with us to the station to assist with our investigation.”

Solicitation?

My mind went blank. From my limited understanding, that was related to soliciting prostitutes, wasn't it?

Horace was always swamped with work. How was that possible? Besides, he wasn't that kind of person!

“Horace? That’s impossible. Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”

“We’ll know whether it’s a mistake after he assists us with our investigation,” one of the officers said. “Mr. Spencer, please come with us.”

Horace's expression didn’t change. His handsome face remained calm, though his eyes narrowed slightly as he stood up.

He looked at me. “Trust me, it’s not true. I would never touch anyone but you. This is probably just what happens when you’re in the spotlight. But don’t worry about me. No matter what happens, I can handle it. Can you get back to the hotel by yourself?”

I shot up from my seat, my heart trembling as I nodded. “I can.”
