Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

An hour later, Blanca and the girl were taken to the police station.

“Officer, I was not kidnapping her…”

Blanca didn’t know what to do. She just furrowed hey brows and looked at the officer right in his eyes who was writing the report.

She sensed the danger and dragged the girl away, but they came across the police officer in charge of the neighborhood and were taken to the police station. Only, that pervert saw what happened and fled.

Blanca explained over and over again, “I was just a passerby and doing her a favor, right?”

She nudged the little girl but that young girl was still weeping and couldn’t say anything.

From the moment they went into the office, she had been crying hard. When Blanca nudged her, she cried even harder, “I will never … run away from home again!”

“…”

Just as Blanca was grinding her teeth angrily, she saw a black car pulled over outside the door. The door opened and a man in a black nice suit got off. He seemed to be quite an elegant, noble man and was followed by his assistant.

When she noticed Matthew, Blanca lowered her head.

Half an hour ago, the officer asked her to contact her parents to ask them to come and pick her up. But he was the only person she knew in Oakshire.

“What happened?” said Matthew, eyeing Blanca and the girl next to her.

He regretted for what he did when he saw Blanca fleeing. He shouldn’t lose his temper in front of her like that. But today things really got out of control.

He found it really hard to get off his high horse and admit he was wrong.

The men he sent out to find her could not find her whereabouts and Matthew got worried. And then he got the call from the police station that asked him to pick her up.

At first, he thought someone did something bad to Blanca. He urged Curtis to speed up and drive. Now that he was sure Blanca was fine, he was quite relieved though he didn’t notice this even himself.

“Mr. Grant? The thing is, this lady…”

“Oh my god, Matthew, you’re here … I met a … pervert today … And he tried to molest me… Thanks to this nice lady that I met…”

When the girl saw Matthew, she ran to him and held him tight. Her tears were all over his clothes and she didn’t notice how upset Matthew was.

Even the police officer and Blanca were shocked.

Were they lovers?

Or siblings?

Or…

Countless thoughts were running through her mind. She suddenly remembered that Matthew only married her to keep other women at bay. And this … woman was one of them?

“Elizabeth, why are you here?”

Hearing her squeaky voice, Matthew frowned. And when he saw her smoky makeup which was ruined by her tears, he seemed to be a little disturbed.

Elizabeth pouted and before she could say anything, Matthew pushed her away and went to Blanca.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh?”

Blanca then noticed that there were some bruises on her arms which were probably caused by accident. She still remembered what happened at noon and she didn’t know how to face him like that. So, she remained silent.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
