Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 123

"Dane, what are you talking about? You can get many things you want. But things are different with love. Sometimes you don’t win a woman's heart even if you try hard. It has been so many years. I thought you have moved on. But you haven’t. You still want to impose your wishes on me." Alicia said with tears streaming down her face.

"He wanted to be Miss Alicia’s boyfriend? How ridiculous! He is no match for her at all!"

"Absolutely not. Why hasn't he let go after so many years? He must be a freak! Oh! It's horrible!" The guests looked at Dane with disdain.

Dane sneered and glanced at Alicia, "Miss Alicia, facts speak louder than words." He took out a handful of U disks from his pocket. He scattered them at the guests and said, "These are videos I shot with Miss Alicia at that time. You can see from the videos that Miss Alicia had asked me to be her boyfriend. She said it first. Was I crazy for this lady or was she pursuing me? You would know the answer after you watch them. Also, I want to say..." Dane turned to Alicia and said loudly, "Even if she was the only woman left in this world, I would not choose her. It makes me sick to look at her!" After Dane finished, he turned around and leave.

"Dane! Come back! You should tell them the truth!" Alicia shouted, but Dane had gone away. The reporters picked up the small U disks excitedly. The guests who had been watching beside also put them in their pockets. They wanted to watch the videos at home.

"Everyone, please don't believe anything that Dane said. He... He made up those stories. He just wants to revenge on me!" Alicia stood among people and said in panic.

"My daughter is innocent. Please don't believe that vicious man!" Shania also came to defend her.

However, the guests, the reporters, and even the waiters were all collecting the U disks. Nobody listened to them.

"Marvin, say something! They should not take the U disks away!" Shania nudged Marvin.

Marvin collected himself and said, "Excuse me. Everyone, please give the garbage to us right now!" Marvin asked the waiters to collect the U disks, but no one gave it to them. People had taken all the U disks.

"Miss Alicia said it was fake and that Dane was slandering her. Then why did she panic?"

"That's right. If the videos are fake, why do you want them? Are you going to destroy the evidence?"

"Dane has given the videos to us. You have no right to take them away!"

"Did you see the look on Dane's face? I think he's not lying." The guests refused to give the U disks to the waiters.

"Kieran, let's get out of here." I said to Kieran.

We got up and left. We didn't know what happen after that, but I knew that there would be some interesting news on the newspaper tomorrow.

"Mr. Charles, Ms. Cornell!" Just as Kieran and I got out, we saw Armand. I was surprised. Armand was supposed to be with Madame Charles. Did she...

"Kieran, Rach, you've finally come out!" As I expected, Madame Charles got out of a Bentley limousine. She held my hand and smiled.

"Madame Charles!" I greeted her. People tended to keep a distance with me. I had got used to it and didn't know how to get along with others. Therefore, I felt uneasy as Madame Charles held my hand, but I couldn't withdraw my hand. Nor could I let her notice that I was pretending. Otherwise, Kieran would punish me.

"Come on. Let's go home!" Madame Charles smiled and pulled me into the car.

I looked at Kieran. Was she taking me to his place?

Kieran didn't say anything as if nothing had happened. He got straight into the car. I could only follow him.

The car stopped at the entrance of Kieran's villa. Madame Charles enthusiastically led me into the villa and smiled at me, "Rach, it's getting late. You should go to bed now!" As she spoke, she pushed me into Kieran's bedroom.

I hurriedly grabbed her hand and cleared my throat, "Madame Charles, I got a cold today. It may infect Kieran. I'd better go home."

"You can't go home. You are sick and alone. Who will look after you? Stay here. Kieran will take care of you!" Madame Charles said.

I looked at Kieran, who stood there expressionless as if he didn't hear it.

Was she serious? I would die under Kieran's care!

Armand stood at the corner. He covered his mouth and looked at me. His gaze was strange. Obviously, he was holding back his laughter.

Kieran raised his head and glanced at him. Armand immediately turned around. He didn't make a sound, but I could tell from his shaking that he was laughing.

I felt embarrassed.

"Madame Charles, it's alright. I... I'm fine. I can..."

I tried my best to convince her. I couldn't imagine staying in Kieran's bedroom tonight. What would he do to me?

"You're sick. Don't go home. I'll be worried." Kieran said in a flat tone.

I was surprised and stared at Kieran. What did he just say?

"Rachael, what do you say?" Kieran looked at me. There was coldness in his red eyes.

"Right… I don't feel very well. I can't stay at home alone. I am not leaving." I immediately agreed to stay after I saw the look on Kieran's face.

"That's it. You're Kieran's girlfriend. You are getting engaged. It's good for you to spend more time together. Good night." Madame Charles pushed us into the bedroom and quickly closed the door.

Now the huge bedroom was completely silent. There were just Kieran and me.

There was only one bed. It was quite big, but we couldn't sleep together. So, where should I sleep tonight? I looked around and saw a sofa.

"Well. I... I'll sleep on the sofa at night!" I asked tentatively.

Kieran asked me to pretend in front of Madame Charles, but I didn't have to sleep with him, right? Besides, he was obsessional about cleanliness. He wouldn't let me lay on the bed with him.

Kieran raised his head and looked at me with his red eyes. I was a little afraid.
