There was a trattic jam, and what would normally be a ten-minute drive took us more than 40 minutes.
t was crowded.
The entrance to the supermarket was packed, and all the parking spots on the street were full. Even the underground parking lot Liam told me to get out of the car and wait for him at the supermarket's entrance. I glanced around, and it was crowded everywhere. I didn't want to wait there, but Liarn didn't give me a chance to reject. He quickly drove off.
I instantly felt like cursing. I waited at a slightly less crowded spot, but soon enough, people who'd finished shopping started gathering there to wait for their nides. I had no choice but to move to another spot.
Just as I found a quieter place. I was suddenly shoved from behind
"So sorry." I stumbled forward slightly but soon regained my balance.
I didn't even get to see who'd apologized as the people around me had left by the time I turned around.
I suddenly felt a sharp gaze on me. I tumed and saw Ethan standing by a black Mercedes with one hand resting on the car door. I had no idea if he was about to leave of had just arrived. Our eyes met, and there was something in his gaze that I couldn't decipher.
I hadn't seen Ethan since our last unpleasant encounter. He'd become noticeably thinner, and his complexion looked terrible. He appeared cold and distant, dressed in a black down jacket My eyes drifted to where he'd been injured, but I saw nothing
"Eve," he called out to me. Though I couldn't hear what he said, I could tell from his lips.
I expressionlessly tumed my gaze away just as Liam returned, "What are you doing here? Aren't you cold standing out here in the wind? The supermarket has heating"
Liam had a lot to say. I glared at him and thought he could surely nag
"Hey, don't glare at me." Liam instantly switched to a playful tone as he rested his right arm on my shoulders. "I'm just worried about you."
"Thanks for your concern." I gave him a fake smile and spoke in a tone full of threat, "I'm going to count to three, and if you don't let go, I won't mind testing out my new karate moves on you" "Three, two, one..."
"Mr. Grayson, please get in the car," Andy said. He stepped out of the car to remind Ethan, who was still standing outside staring at the mart.
Ethan's grip on the car door tightened, and his tall figure looked a bit disheveled in the cold wind. He turned and bent down to get into the car. "Let's go."
Andy watched him get into the car and was momentarily stunned. He thought he'd seen Ethan's eyes were bloodshot and shimmering,
He frowned. Was Erhan crying?
