Chapter 230
Chapter 230
After work, I saw Ronan's car in front of the building. Since Michael warned me before, I didn't want him to get the wrong idea. So I made a detour and left.
However, Ronan had very sharp eyes. He noticed me the moment I stepped out of the building. I didn't even have the chance to hide myself.
“Anna.”
When I was about to leave, I heard Ronan's voice behind me and staggered slightly. Now I couldn't hide even if I wanted to.
I turned towards him and answered without any expression, “Ronan, why are you here?”
“What do you think? Of course, I'm here to look for you.”
Ronan marched towards me with a smile in his eyes.
I raised my head, and I responded indifferently because Michael was angry the last time. “Are you looking for me? What is it?”
I had been avoiding Ronan recently for I didn't want Michael to get angry again.
However, I seemed to have forgotten that I had nothing to do with Michael anymore. Hence, no matter which man I was close with, he wouldn't care anymore.
I didn't know why, but the thought of Michael made me upset once again.
“I miss you. Is this reason good enough? What happened to you in the past two days? You wouldn't answer my calls, and I was worried that I did something wrong and angered you.”
Ronan frowned his delicate eyebrows and stared into my eyes. He looked worried.
“It's nothing. I was just in a bad mood these days, and I wanted some quiet time for myself. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. We'll stay in touch.”
I was in a bad mood at that time, so I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to be left alone.
“Since you're in a bad mood, let me take you out to relax, or you can tell me what's bothering you. Holding it in won't do you any good, so you will feel better after pouring it out.”
Ronan didn't want to let me leave. I knew he was worried about me, but I didn't feel like talking.
“No. I'm very tired from work. All I want to do now is to go home and rest.”
I didn't want to say too much, so I turned around and was about to leave.
But, he grabbed my wrist and immediately pulled me towards his car.
“Ronan, what are you doing!” I was annoyed by his actions.
“I want to make you feel better. It hurts me to see you like this.” He stopped and looked at me condescendingly.
I was a little touched. Although Ronan seemed to fool around all the time, I could feel that he really cared for me.
With that, I didn't refuse anymore, and I let him drag me into his car.
Ronan quickly started the car and drove at high speed. The scenery outside rushed past the windows. I could feel my heart thumping.
Why was he driving so fast? Didn't he know that it's dangerous? Moreover, it was a city center. What if he crashed into someone?
“Ronan! Drive slower. It's dangerous!”
I held on tightly to my seat belt. My heart was thumping out of fear.
“Don't you think this is exciting? You're in a bad mood. You should enjoy the thrill of the ride.”
He had a frivolous smile on his face. I could tell from the look of his eyes that he was very excited.
I looked at him as my face turned pale. I really regretted getting in his car. He is playing with fire.
What thrill? Would it be thrilling if we were dead?
“Ronan, stop the car!”
I looked forward in horror and shouted at him. My voice was trembling.
“Don't worry. There will be no accidents. I'm confident in my skills. Besides, I'm a professional racer.”
Ronan looked at me with a smug face, showing no signs of slowing down at all.
What? A racer? I didn't expect him to be a racer.
However, even if he was a professional racer, he speeding in the city center. Most importantly, mistakes happened, even for a racer, and I wouldn't want to die in his car.
Ronan's face turned serious, and he slowed down the car. Maybe he noticed that I was scared.
I let out a long sigh of relief. The tensed feeling in my heart was finally relaxed. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Ronan drove along the way and we finally stopped at the bank of the river.
“Tell me. Why were you in a bad mood in the past few days? Did something happen?”
Ronan stopped the car, and turned to me with a serious look on his face. I could feel the concern in his tone.
“it's nothing. Just some personal issues.”
My instincts were telling me to skirt the issue. I couldn't mention my relationship with Michael. In fact, I have never told anyone before.
“Do you even treat me as a friend? Friends are like trash cans, so you can dump all your unhappy
thoughts on me. After that, you won't be sad anymore.”
He frowned and looked at me very seriously.
I was in control of my emotions until I heard his words. My eyes couldn't help but turn red instantly.
“Really. It was nothing. But seeing that man with his girlfriend really made me feel a little uncomfortable.”
I must never let him know about my relationship with Michael, so I only told him half the truth.
Ronan went stiff. Then, he looked at me as if he was feeling sorry for me.
“Do you still love him? You already knew he couldn't be with you. Continuing to love him would only make you suffer even more.”
The car went silent. He raised his head and looked at me. Apart from being concerned, there was compassion in his eyes.
“I know, but I can't control my feelings.”
I lowered my head and gave out a bitter laugh. Of course, I understood the truth in his words. However, it was no easy feat to withdraw my feelings from a person. It may sound easy, but I was always stubborn in relationships. Thus, I couldn't let it go easily.
“I really don't know who that man is, but I'm truly jealous and envious of him for you love him.”
Maybe I looked miserable at that moment. Ronan had a distressed look on his face, but I knew what he said was true. I may have hurt him while I was feeling upset.
