Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Patrick and Candy Embrace

Jane followed Nana's direction and looked into the distance. Sure enough, there was a Rolls-Royce parked on the country road, looking particularly conspicuous.

It was Patrick's car, but why would he come here? Jane squinted her eyes and her unease grew stronger. She quickly told the driver, "Please go up there, thank you!"

"Okay!" The taxi driver quickly drove to Patrick's car and stopped.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Jane couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car.

Patrick's car was parked by a small path at the foot of a mountain. Jane looked inside but no one was there. Since his car was here, he should be nearby too right?

Jane called Patrick again but it went straight to voicemail.

Nana paid for their ride and hurried over to ask with concern,"Jane how is it?"

Shaking her head in response Jane said,"No one is in his car."

The vehicle was present but not its owner; worry, nervousness and anxiety all mixed together in Jane's heart. Where did Patrick go? Is he okay?

"Let's look around everywhere; maybe he's nearby." Nana scanned around before speaking reassuringly,"Don't worry so much; I'm sure that Patrick is fine."

Taking a deep breath Jane turned towards Nana saying,"You go left while I'll check out this side."

"Okay." Nana nodded before heading off towards her assigned direction while Jane walked several steps towards her right where she saw an old farmhouse with its door slightly open.

She hesitated for a moment before pushing it open since she wanted to ask if anyone inside had seen or heard from Patrick lately.

Inside.

Patrick drove Candice back home.

This poor rural family lived in abject poverty surrounded by bare walls that made everything look bleak.

Frowning slightly at what he saw through his window as they arrived at Candice's house, Patrick asked,"Candy do you live here?"

"Yes, this is my biological parents' home. I usually rent an apartment in town otherwise going back from bars late night would be too far away. If I have time, I'll come back here." Candice lowered her head biting down on her lip,"Once grandma stabilizes, I'll take them all back with me into town."

Thinking about what Candy just said, Patrik asked curiously,"Where are your parents?"

"They're both at hospital keeping grandma company."Candice spoke softly,"They might not be able to return until later tonight."

"Alright then, you rest well. I have something else I need attend now." Thinking about both Janes' safety as well as their engagement ceremony tonight, Patrik stood up after speaking these words.

"Paddy, I feel a sharp pain here." Candice pointed to her chest as Patrick was about to leave.

Before Patrick could react, Candice leaned into him and fell into his arms.

"Candy, what's wrong?" Patrick quickly supported Candice.

Candice nestled in Patrick's embrace and lifted herself slightly on her toes. With lips as red as roses brushing against his earlobe, she spoke with a voice like an orchid in bloom. "Paddy, do you remember when you said you would marry me?"

Patrick's body stiffened.

Indeed, he had said those words to Candy when they were children.

But...

Jane pushed the door open and saw this scene before her eyes: a disheveled young girl tightly embracing Patrick with intimate gestures. And that girl even asked him if he remembered saying he would marry her!

Jane couldn't believe what she was seeing; for a moment, her mind went blank. She had been worried sick about Patrick and searched everywhere for him. And what was he doing? He disappeared for so long just to be cozying up with another girl!
