Chapter 615 Her Pounding Heart
It was silent in the car.
No one said another word again.
The car arrived at the villa and Laura wanted to ask Max to get out of the car. She turned her head and
found him asleep with his head against the car window.
She was a little surprised and felt sorry to see the dark circles under his eyes.
The driver didn't know Max was sleeping and wanted to call him, but Laura stopped him.
She put her finger to her lips to signal silence.
The driver covered his mouth.
Then Laura gently placed a pillow under Max's head and asked the driver to bring a clean jacket from
behind to cover him.
After that, she got out of the car and said to the driver, "Let him sleep for a while. Don't wake him."
The driver looked at them.
"But Mr. Nixon has to go to the office this afternoon..."
"Health comes first."
Laura interrupted him without hesitation and looked at her watch, "If he's still sleeping two hours later,
I'll wake him up myself."
The driver nodded.
Laura didn't enter the villa but brought a chair to sunbathe in the courtyard.
The driver didn't leave and no one said anything.
Quiet and warm, she hadn't been this relaxed in a long time.
She had a fast-paced life in the entertainment industry, sometimes so busy that she couldn't tell day
from night and almost lost herself.
But now she was sitting here quietly with her loved one sleeping peacefully in a car.
She felt inner peace.
Moments late, a buzzing sound suddenly broke the silence.
Max opened his eyes with a frown, confused for a moment.
He looked out the car window at Laura and the driver and then his jacket fell off as he got up.
Finally, he took out his phone from his pocket and answer it.
It was from the people in the company.
He had to attend an important video conference this afternoon, but he was more than half an hour late.
They thought something had happened to him so they called.
Max got out of the car while talking on the phone.
He grabbed his jacket and said in a low voice on the phone, "I'll be right there. Get ready for the
meeting. Okay, see you later."
He walked up to Laura as he hung up.
He looked down at her and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Laura lounged back in her chair, squinted at him under the sunlight, and uttered, "Um."
Max looked at her face with a fair skin tone in the sun and giggled.
He bent over, propped one hand on the arm of the chair, and gently held up her chin with the other.
They looked at each other up close.
She could even clearly see her reflection in his pupils and heard him say in a low voice, "You're worriednovelbin
about me, right?"
Laura thought she wasn't young anymore, but at that moment, her heart was pounding because of him.
She pursed her lips and, for the first time, didn't hold back her feelings.
She nodded slightly.
Max grinned, leaned in gently, and kissed her on the lips.
"Laura, I love you."
Laura's heart palpitated.
The driver had turned his back on them and pretended not to hear anything.
She blushed with her face was as lovely as white cotton illuminated by the evening sun.
Max was turned on with an urge to possess her right there.
But he was sensible and just kissed her gently before letting her go and straightening up.
"I'm going to the office. Wait for me at home, OK?"
Laura nodded.
With a smile on his face, he stroked her hair, and got in the car.
The driver also got in the car. Laura stood up and watched as the car drove out of the yard.
It didn't take long for Jim to come over with two men.
One was Weldon and the other was Tommy, both of which were bodyguards under him.
They were twin brothers with good characters and skills. Most importantly, they were extra loyal and
reliable.
Laura didn't say anything when Jim introduced them. She just nodded along before sending them
away.
After they left, she was alone in the villa.
She thought for a moment, sat down on the couch, and called Fannie.
Fannie didn't know Laura had been kidnapped, so when she got the call, she just thought Laura
wanted to say hi.
She happily answered the phone and after talking for a while, Laura suddenly said, "Mom, I'll go pick
you up in a few days."
Fannie was confused.
"What's wrong?"
"Diego has been arrested and will be sentenced. I want you to get a divorce as soon as possible."
Diego was not only guilty of kidnapping but also of murder this time.
It was a capital offense.
Laura didn't want her mother to be the wife of a murderer, so she wanted them to get a divorce before
Diego was sentenced.
Fannie was silent for a moment.
"What crime did he commit?"
Diego had broken the law many times over the years but had never been arrested, but he didn't get
away with it this time.
Fannie was confused.
Laura knew there was no way to keep it from her.
Even if she didn't tell her now, Diego would tell her everything when they divorced.
Therefore, she told Fannie what had happened in the past few days in detail on the phone.
Fannie listened quietly. She was heartbroken and angry when she learned that Laura had been through
so much.
"Laura, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If I hadn't married him, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
She blamed herself with a remorseful tone.
