Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 248

Compared with these, Howard's scene was not much better. After making a phone call to Kristen, he slowly walked out.

If Kristen knew that he had screwed it up, would she treat him with evil words again? Besides... Aaron made it clear. He hesitated for a long time before he made the call.

It was time to explain everything to Kristen. If he continued to delay, Aaron would probably lose confidence in him?

He lived for the sake of Aaron. If even Aaron didn't trust him, his existence would be completely denied.

Thinking of this, Howard clenched his fists. At that time, why did he suddenly agree to Kristen's request?

Damn it!

Howard stretched out his hand and slapped himself hard on the forehead. But it was also because of this that he came to his sense.

It was only half an hour's drive from that shop to Aaron's villa. He was driving, so it only took him less than half of the time.

After choosing a seat, Howard ordered a glass of juice and began to sort out his thoughts.

First of all, it was better to apologize to Kristen. After all, he hadn't done the perfect thing he had promised, and it was all his fault...

Feeling sad, Howard thought about a lot of reasons. When he finally decided, he found that it was more than half an hour from the agreed time.

Glancing at the screen of his mobile phone, he looked a little melancholy.

Could it be that something happened to Kristen? They had made an appointment just now and she said she would come. Why hadn't he seen her yet?

Feeling a little uneasy, Howard decided to call Kristen.

The call was soon connected. Seeing that the phone could be connected, Howard was obviously relieved. At least it meant that Kristen was safe?

"Kristen, where are you now?"

Howard cut to the chase and didn't dare to stop for a moment, fearing that he would miss any important information.

Hearing Howard's voice, Kristen was obviously a little disappointed.

She chuckled and said calmly, "It's you. I'm sorry. I have to go now. I'm a little busy. "

Her voice was obviously not as excited as it was at the beginning. Sure enough... Was she expecting someone to call her? Was it Aaron? Or someone else?

Howard was absolutely insensitive in love. It was obvious that she was refusing to meet him, but he believed it. Instead, he even made an appointment with her next time. "Are you a little busy? But I really have something to tell you. It won't take you much time. I've been waiting for you in this hall all the time. When will you have time? "

On the other side of the phone, the corners of Kristen's mouth twitched slightly. Then she said helplessly, "I've been very busy these days. Well, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first. Don't call me for the time being, or I will be very troubled. "

After saying that, Kristen ruthlessly hung up the phone. Then she turned around and smiled sweetly at the man beside her.

The man standing next to Kristen looked strange and then asked subconsciously, "Honey, what's wrong? Who is he? "

If he didn't mishear just now, it seemed to be a man on the other end of the phone, and he seemed to be very familiar with Kristen. Was he her ex boyfriend?

With a gentle smile, Kristen held the man's arm like a spoiled child, shook it a little, and then pretended to be shy, "No, nothing. It's just an ordinary friend asked me to go out for coffee. But in order to go out with you, I refused. "

Without thinking too much, she knew that Howard had failed. Since Aaron had come out to clarify it for Melissa, what else could she say?

While thinking, Kristen slightly clenched her fingers. If only she could stab the blade into the abdomen of Melissa. Not only could she lose her child, but she might not be able to live.

How could she choose to pierce her throat at that time? What a mistake!

At the thought of this, Kristen felt a little regretful, but the reason was that she hadn't been ruthless enough...

If the same thing happened to Melissa, it would be a nightmare for her.

The man's mood lit up in an instant, and his so-called self-esteem was aroused in an instant.

He put his arm around Kristen's shoulder and pulled her into his arms with a little strength. Then he said in a cheerful voice, "Since you have nothing else to do, let's continue shopping. Honey, do you have anything else you want to go? As you refuse your friend, I'll listen to you today. Just tell me what you want. I'll pay by card. "

Everything was going on as planned by Kristen. She smiled enchantingly, and then repeatedly said the man's good words, leaning into his arms.

Howard had no choice but to pay the bill. Then he walked out of the cold drink shop with a little disappointment.

Did he think too much? Why did he hear a man's voice on the other end of the phone just now? Although it was not very clear, he still heard it faintly.

Rubbing his aching eyebrows, Howard seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden. He simply turned his car around and was about to move towards Aaron's company.

However, he had only driven for less than five minutes when his action suddenly stiffened. Staring at the two people not far away, his face darkened.

Why was Kristen here? Didn't she say that she had something to do... And who was the man beside her?

In other words, he didn't mishear just now. Was there really a man around [九幽]. Seeing the two people holding hands so intimately, he thought they must have a special relationship?

Subconsciously, Howard clenched the steering wheel. He drove the car directly and blocked the way of the two. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that the man was not a good man. How could Kristen stay with him?

While thinking, Howard quickened his pace, opened the door and jumped out. He reached out his hand to hold Kristen's hand without saying anything, and then pulled her into his arms.

Howard's face was full of vigilance. He exerted a little strength, and then pulled a long face. "Kristen, why are you here? And... Do you know who this man is? "

It seemed that Kristen didn't know his background. Otherwise, how could she walk on the street with such a man. What if that man intended to do something bad to Kristen?

Howard was lost in various fancies and conjectures, but Kristen shook off his hand disapprovingly. Then she withdrew her disgusted expression and said, "Why do you care about me? I know you feel uncomfortable when I refuse you, but don't think you have the right to care about me. We are just friends. You don't have the right to interfere in my private life. Is there anything wrong with me shopping with my boyfriend? "

There was a trace of contempt in Kristen's words, and Howard was stunned when he heard that Kristen said "Is there anything wrong with me shopping with my boyfriend".

What did she say? Did he hear it wrong? How could Kristen say that the man who was ten years older than her was her boyfriend?

For a moment, Howard couldn't come to his senses.

The man standing next to Kristen didn't say a word and silently watched everything.

Fortunately, the strange atmosphere did not last long. Kristen walked back to the man's side, and then held his wrist. She said helplessly, "Forget it. Jerry, let's go. I'm not familiar with this man. I've told him several times not to bother me. Why didn't he listen to me? It's really annoying. "

'I'm not familiar with her?'

Howard smiled, but there was bitterness in his eyes.

He didn't chase after her. He just stared at Kristen's back silently and whispered, "Kristen... How heartless you are! "
