Chapter 228 What Are You Afraid Of?

“She’s not at home. You should leave.” Lindsay shook her head.

“Mrs. Baldry, before we came here, we had checked the surveillance footage on all the roads.

Kaliyah and Mr. Baldry left the auction venue and went straight home. Please cooperate with us.”

“Why are you looking for her?”

“She is suspected of instigating a crime and needs to be brought back for investigation,” the

policeman snapped.

Lindsay said calmly, “That’s impossible. Someone must have framed her.”

“Mrs. Baldry, we won’t come here without evidence or warrant. Please cooperate with us.”

Just as Lindsay was about to argue, Cason opened the entrance to the basement. “Kaliyah is down

there.”

The police glanced at each other and went down to the basement to catch her.

When Kaliyah was taken out, her face was ashen and her shoulders were shaking. She tried to grab

Cason. “Cason, save me!”

“Tell me everything you know,” Cason had been coldly looking at Kaliyah.

Kaliyah knew that Cason would not save her. She looked at Lindsay in pain. “Mrs. Baldry, save me.”

Lindsay walked over in a panic. She looked at Kaliyah and said, “Be careful. She is pregnant. If something happens to her, you have to take responsibility.”

“My belly hurts!” Kaliyah stopped as soon as she left the door.

“What’s going on?” Cason frowned, pulled the servants away, and held Kaliyah.

“Cason, help. My belly hurts.” Kaliyah’s face was pale as if she was going to faint at any moment.

“Send her to the hospital,” the policeman said, looking at each other.

On the way back, Ainsley pressed the play button. Inside the car, there was a cheerful song. Lainey

sat in the back seat and happily twisted her body.

“I didn’t expect everything to be so smooth. I thought there would be a large group of people competing with me for PineMist Island. Ainsley is right. Those people know nothing. You didn’t see that when I was going to your place after the auction, Kaliyah, Aedan, and Irene all had long faces.”

Get Boys

Ainsley smiled. “It’s all thanks to Lainey. Why don’t we go eat together? I’ll ask Matteo to treat us today. I also brought Pearl Hotel’s membership card, so we can go there.”

Pearl Hotel?

Lainey’s face turned red. She quieted down and took out a mirror from her bag.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Pearl Hotel’s entrance. The valet went to park the car. After Ainsley took out the membership card, the manager received them.

They were taken to a quiet area. They did not even need to choose a chef because the

membership card was given by Roman.

When Roman walked in and saw Lainey, he was dazed.

The memories of yesterday still lingered in his mind. He didn’t look at Lainey anymore and put

down the menu. “Ms. Easton, you can just order the dishes.”

At the same time, he placed the tablet in front of Ainsley.

Ainsley felt that there was something unusual between them. After randomly ordering a few dishes, she returned the tablet to him. “Other than the dishes that have been ordered, pick some

dishes for us as you wish.”

“Alright.”

Roman left as if he was escaping. Lainey looked at his back with some sadness.

“Lainey, did something happen between you two again?” Ainsley asked.

Lainey shook her head and refused to say anything.

How was she going to talk about the sex between her and Roman after she got drunk in the bar

the night before?

Before the dishes were served, Roman carried a plate of soup and placed it in front of Lainey.

“Drink this

Lainey looked down and saw that the soup seemed to be sweet.

“I don’t want it.” She lowered her head and murmured.

Roman pushed the soup in front of her again. “You have to finish it.”

The two kept doing this. Ainsley knew what was going on and covered her mouth to laugh.

Matteo noticed something and took the initiative to say, “Why don’t we sit down and eat together

after the dishes are served?”

“No!” Roman and Lainey said at the same time to Matteo.

After all the dishes were served, Roman glanced at Lainey and said, “Come here. I have something

for you.”

Lainey was puzzled, but she still stood up and followed him.

Roman’s lounge was similar to the suite in a hotel because he was a top chef.

Lainey stood at the door, not wanting to get in. “What do you want to give me?”

“If

you don’t come in, how can I give it to you?”

Lainey walked in. As soon as she entered, Roman slammed the door and pressed her against the

wall.

“Why did you run away that day?”

Roman panted as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

“…”

That day, Roman was making Lainey herbal tea in the kitchen. Listening to the sound of cutting

ginger, Lainey felt uneasy.

What happened that night was still vivid in her mind. Why did they have sex again?

Looking at Roman’s back in the kitchen, she could not tell whether she liked him or not, but her pounding heart meant everything. In a panic, she limped out of Roman’s home.

“Answer me.” Roman’s eyes were red.

Lainey looked away from him and said hesitantly, “Scared.”

“Scared? What are you afraid of?” Roman narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect this to be the reason.

“I’m afraid that I will like you.”

Roman’s breathing stopped. He could not tell how he was feeling. He just felt his heart beat faster.

“Why are you afraid of this?”

Ainsley and Matteo were enjoying the food in front of them. “Matteo, do you think they will be

together?”

“It’s hard to say. One is always hiding, and the other always remains silent,” Matteo said calmly.

“Today, at the auction, I told you that Manuel gave me the proposal. You didn’t seem to be Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

surprised, and you didn’t object to me meeting him.”

Matteo said expressionlessly, “You don’t need me to stop you, right? I can see it.”

Ainsley smiled bitterly. “In fact, you were right at the beginning. I should listen to you. Irene is

meant for him.”

Irene was ambitious, bold, and scheming. She would solve difficulties without any worries when

faced with them. She would be a good help to Manuel’s career.

“No two people will be found compatible from the beginning. I stopped your relationship with him.

because I was afraid that you would be hurt.” He did not warn Ainsley she should be alert after

being hurt once.

“Matteo, can you give me an area to construct PineMist Island? It doesn’t need to be big. Just a

small area on the island will be enough.”

“OK, what do you want to do?” Matteo looked at her doubtfully.

“I can’t say it for now. It’s a secret.” Ainsley smiled.

“PineMist Island was won by you, and the Easton Group is also yours. You can do whatever you

want.” Matteo smiled.

He had never thought of taking Ainsley’s properties. He just managed them.
