Lauren covered her mouth with her hand. What did she just do?
Ever since Landon got together with her, he had never touched any other woman. So, how could she
touch another man?
Was she... Was she dirty now? Did she betray Landon?
"I'm... I'm sorry." After being at a loss for words, she could only apologize. However, she wasn't sure if
her apology was meant for Cyrus or Landon.
"What are you sorry for, Ms. Lauren? I should be the one to apologize to you. I have been so busy that
I haven't showered in three days. I'm sorry if I stink."
Cyrus smiled. He noted that Lauren looked naively cute.
"Madam Lauren!"novelbin
Upon hearing some commotion, Angelina hurried over. She was also surprised to see Cyrus. "Mr.
Cyrus?"
Cyrus normally had a low profile. There were only a handful of people who knew of him. Angelina knew
Cyrus only because Landon had mentioned him. Otherwise, the awkward situation when Axel visited
might have been repeated.
Cyrus peered inside. "Are Lyse and Jasper at home?" he asked.
He had heard about what had happened. Moreover, it had been a few days since he last saw Alyssa,
so he was worried.
"Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett have gone out to run some errands." Angelina hesitated for a bit before
politely extending an invitation. "Please, come in."
Cyrus treated the place like his own. He walked straight to the living room and plopped himself down.
He then placed a document regarding Sophia on the table.
Sophia's hearing was about to begin. There were many detailed documents that Alyssa and Jasper
needed to look through. That was why Alyssa had called him over to their place tonight.
"This is a nice house. It is more stylish than ours," Cyrus remarked as he observed his surroundings.
He thought about how Alyssa had been staying here ever since she ran away from home. Based on his
observation, Jasper hadn't treated Alyssa badly.
With a half smile on her face, Angelina responded, "Someone else said the same when they came the
last time. He even said that he'd want to buy the house next door and be our neighbor."
"Who was it who said that?"
"Mr. Axel."
Cyrus was pleased to hear that. "That sounds just like Axel. He has deep pockets. With my annual
salary,
I could probably only afford a toilet here."
It was then that he noticed Lauren crouched anxiously in a corner. The sight of her made her look
pitiful.
"Did I scare you, Ms. Lauren?" Cyrus smiled at her.
Lauren nodded slightly before quickly shaking her head instead. In her nervousness, she was grabbing
at her clothes so much that they had become wrinkled.
"It was my fault. Come to think of it, I was the one who took advantage of you. I'm very sorry."
As someone who worked at the police station, Cyrus worked efficiently. He was someone who spoke
directly without thinking too much about it.
When Angelina heard the phrase "took advantage", her expression became stiff. She stared at Cyrus
anxiously and tightened her fists!
Right at that moment, the doorbell rang once again.
Angelina suppressed her anger and walked to the entrance. She staggered upon looking into the digital
doorviewer.
"Is that Lyse?" Cyrus came up quickly behind her.
He also inhaled sharply when he saw Winston's face appear on the screen.
