Rewriting My Heart's Fate novel Chapter 414

Ethan nodded as though he had expected me to say that. "I won't take your time," he said. "If anything, you can just call me."

And with that, he turned and left, his silhouette fading into the distance.

I hastily stuffed the name card into my pocket as if I was allergic to it and was afraid that others would see it.

"Gosh! Am I dreaming?" Lianne mumbled with an astonished look on her face. "Mr. Grayson wants to collaborate with you? That's simply unbelievable!"

I didn't share her exuberance, though. Somehow, I felt as though everything was in Ethan's grasp.

It was as if he was trying to lure me into his trap and that he was carefully planning his every move so that I would fall right back into his world.

I couldn't stop worrying about how uncertain the future may be, and my thoughts weighed on me, making me feel suffocated.

"Let's head back. We don't want others seeing us here," said Kevin, pulling me back from my thoughts.

Lianne grabbed my arm. "Right. We'll talk about it later."

I nodded numbly and let the two of them drag me away with them.

Noticing this, Lianne started to worry. "Are you okay? You don't look good."

"I'm fine." I smiled wryly. "I just… don't know what to do. He suddenly showed up, and his suggestion for a collaboration… It's just too abrupt for me."

"What are you worried about?" Kevin asked seriously. "This opportunity is hard to come by! It's not necessarily a bad thing, you know."

"But… " I faltered. I feared that this was all part of his plan.

I had been avoiding him recently. I just couldn't trust him now that he suddenly took the initiative to be kind to me.
