When the car was in a dead silence, Aaron's phone suddenly vibrated.
He reached out one hand to take out his cellphone. After inadvertently glancing at the Caller ID, he put on the Bluetooth and quickly answered the phone. "Hello? What's up, Sean?"
Generally speaking, Sean would not make this call if there was no emergency. But today he made it through the internal call, which meant there was something urgent.
There was a note of urgency in the voice of Sean, and then he quickly held his phone to ask, "Aaron, where are you now?"
His question raised some doubts in Aaron. After a pause, he replied, "I was just about to go back to the old house. What's up?"
Today was that woman's birthday. He just came back with Melissa to dispel her boring thoughts. Lest she every day tries every means to find a woman for him to carry on the family line.
This was also the reason why when Aaron ran into Melissa, he kept asking her whether she was sent by his mother.
Sean said something to Aaron. After talking for about one minute, Aaron nodded and responded, "I know. You first look at the people. I will be right there soon."
Then he hung up the phone in a hurry, reached out his hand and pushed Melissa. Without any nostalgic feeling, he said, "Don't say anything. You first go back by yourself."
Before Melissa could figure out what was going on, she was turned from the car and the door was slammed shut by Aaron, who disappeared from her sight quickly.
Stunned, Melissa stared at the broad and strange street and felt somehow uneasy.
Without thinking too much, she rushed in the direction that Aaron had left.
She didn't want the feeling of being abandoned.
Tears were welling up in her eyes. Melissa quickened her pace to chase the man while yelling, "Aaron! Aaron!"
The name was too conspicuous, but Melissa didn't realize what she was doing at all. She just didn't want to be abandoned by instinct.
But she was no match for the car. Just in the blink of an eye, Melissa had stopped and gasped miserably on the spot.
Melissa clasped her hand over her chest. For the first time, her eyes were filled with despair.
Her face was pale, and her lips mumbled for a long time. "Don't leave me alone... Please don't leave me alone... "
There was no reply.
Melissa’s eyelids sunken slightly, and her thick lashes quivered lightly. Besides, the tears in Melissa’s eyes would roll down at any moment.
All of a sudden, noises reached the ears of disappointed Melissa.
"Yes, it's her! I've read the news before. She was the woman who was bought by Aaron. It's said that she's an undergraduate. Reporter, see? I have provided some information. Do I have any money for the clue?"
"Okay, next time you have such good news, remember to call me at any time. I will definitely give you a lot of money!"
Then a group of people ran over quickly. Horror was written on the face of Melissa. Her body was a few paces faster than her mind. When they were approaching, she directly turned around and ran away.
"Stop! Catch her! Don't let her go. It's not easy to get the news about Aaron. How can we let her go so easily?"
There was a slight noise flashed through Melissa's ear. Then her mind went blank and she coul
d only keep running forward...
She didn't know how long it took before she ran into the bushes. Melissa crouched down and panted for breath.
She anxiously turned her head back to make sure nobody was following her. Then she collapsed on the ground.
She felt that her body was tired and her heart was even more tired.
Since when she was given such a humiliating title?
Melissa's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what to say to defend herself.
This situation had lasted for nearly half an hour. With her legs becoming weak, Melissa stretched herself with difficulty. Then she held out her hand to a passer-by and asked the way home.
She had no choice but to go back to that shabby house. She couldn't think of any other place to shelter herself.
Without a penny left, Melissa could only walk. Fortunately, the path was not very far. She stumbled for nearly an hour before she could make it to the neighborhood.
Looking at the street, Melissa felt unprecedentedly relieved.
She groped the key from the corner beside the window. Then she closed the door lightly.
Melissa let out a long breath and sat down on the ground immediately.
A tinge of coldness was felt on the rough floor. As a result, Melissa curled up all of her body. She held her legs tightly and said, "Why... You all have to leave me alone. What did I do? What have I done wrong? The same to mom, father, brother, Aaron... Why do you push me away just after being gentle to me?"
Failing to get an answer, Melissa had no choice but to lean tiredly against the corner of the wall and fall asleep.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening that Aaron finally settled down the matter with Sean. After that, he hurriedly drove the car back to the road where he left Melissa.
To his greatest relief, he didn't see any trace of Melissa on the way, which meant she was back? Thinking about it, Aaron quickened his pace.
However, the truth was just the opposite of his imagination.
Aaron opened the door and called the name of Melissa coldly, but he got no response.
Aaron was confused and called the maid, but the maid denied his suspicion and said that Melissa hadn't come back since she went out in the morning.
The face of Aaron changed dramatically. The blue veins on his forehead bulged slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "She didn't come back?"
The maid nodded her head stiffly and trembled, as if she was afraid that Aaron would vent his anger on her.
Without saying too much, Aaron turned around and walked away, then he stepped into his car, disappearing from the maid's sight at once.
He switched on his phone and tried to call Melissa, but her phone was broken in the classroom, so what he got was just the sound of a power off.
Aaron grinned evilly. There was a gurgling sound in his knotted hands. Then he stared at his phone angrily and said, "Melissa, you've got a lot of guts."
He clicked on the software and looked for the GPS of Melissa. As soon as Aaron found the target, he hurried over as if he didn't want to miss her.
On the other hand, Melissa seemed to be tied to a bad dream. Bean sized sweat and tear rolled down from her eyes and forehead. She frowned and kept muttering, looking a little painful.
