Semua Bab Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife : Bab 321 - Bab 330

Heidi looked at him. Astonishment flashed in her eyes for a split second, replaced by the chill that hardened her features. Realizing that he'd failed to bottle in his anger, the words left his mouth before he thought twice about it. And the look in her eyes made him want to take back his words,...Unfortunately, it was too late. Thinking she might jump down his throat or do something worse, he didn't see her reaction coming. Silent and stiff, she turned the door's handle and left the car.On the vast dark street, she stood by the roadside, her hands folded across her chest, her features cascaded with a coldness that cracked his heart. Lucas took in a deep breath, fighting down his rage.“You know it's a silly idea.” He left the car and stood in front of her. “Neither Killian nor your cousin loves each other.”His words were greeted with silence. Heidi looked sideways, blinking rapidly. He'd prefer she yell at him and express her anger rather than her silence. Lucas couldn't even

…At GreyHills City. Freya looked at the text message on her phone, her expression changing from calm to sad. Hearing footsteps approaching, she deleted the message and dropped her phone. “You aren't looking around. Didn't you want to come for a tour?”She lifted her head, staring at the man standing in front of her. “While you were away, I looked around. This place looks great.”“More appealing than the AG Group?” Steve sat beside her on the couch in his office. Freya nodded, looking around. “Yeah. I prefer this place.”“You have changed a lot, Heidi.” He took her chin in his fingers, turning her face to stare at him. “I think I'm starting to miss the old Heidi, fiery and honest.”“You said it yourself that you prefer the docile Heidi. It's a surprise that you're fed up with me already,” she replied in a soft tone, looking down. Steve sighed. “I'm just bored. But who am I to complain?” He shrugged. “This Heidi is less troublesome.”She nodded meekly, playing with her fingers. Mo

…Heidi sat on the dining table, playing with her food, jabbing the knife at the bread toast in front of her. Sitting across from her was Isla whose sad eyes mirrored the feeling in Heidi's heart.Not only was Heidi sad, but she was also confused and mad. “Won't you eat your food, Madam?” Mira urged her gently. “Please eat the food. It's good for your health.”Heidi pushed the plate of food away instead. “I understand you're angry, Madam. But-”“What are you hiding from me, Mira? Do you know where Lucas is? Did he tell you not to tell me?”Lucas was acting strange again. What Heidi feared was the man playing with her feelings. What if he'd lied to her? What if he was currently in the Harrisons Mansion and Tracy was still there?He didn't return last night. He spent the whole day yesterday outside, and didn't even pick up anyone's call. Was he fooling her again?“I'm not hiding anything, Madam. Please believe me.” Mira lowered her head. “Two nights ago, the Young Master left in a

The coincidence was too good to be true. Heidi never knew she possessed psychic powers. “Lucas Harrison…” she narrowed her eyes on him. “If the GK Group was in crisis, why didn't I see it in the news?”“Hey, Heidi, would you like to go out?” Instead of answering her question, he changed the topic, giving her a doting look. Heidi knew he did it intentionally. Was Lucas lying to her? “You haven't answered my question yet.” She frowned. Lucas dropped his spoon and stood up. He circled the table to her side and made her stand up by placing both hands on her shoulders. “Believe my words. I never keep in touch with Tracy.”As if he was aware of her fears or maybe he could read her mind. Was she so obvious? Heidi didn't want to seem off as jealous or even bothered about Tracy. “How should I be sure that you're not lying?” But the question slipped out, making her uncertainty and insecurity more obvious. It brought a smile to the man's lips, a sign that he was proud he'd won over her

After changing her clothes…,Heidi went downstairs to find Lucas sulking on the couch. On a closer look, he wasn't actually sulking.There was a deep frown on his face as he stared at his phone. He seemed to have just finished making a phone call. His displeasure might be due to the phone call he just made, or probably due to her brutal rejection. Uhm, was she supposed to feel guilty?“Ehm, I'm ready.” Heidi cleared her throat to get his attention. “Can we leave now?”Lucas didn't look at her. He nodded absentmindedly, and stood up, taking her hand and leaving the house with her.Heidi watched his back, unease settling in. Was he mad at her? Her eyes would stray to his side profile now and then as he drove the car out of the Villa's gates and down to the city. The bodyguards took separate cars. One car behind them, and one car ahead of them.“Is this necessary?” Heidi didn't need to ask that question, she just wanted to strike up a conversation, to know what was bothering him.
