Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

A handsand smart-looking man? Could it be... him?

Lauren suddenly stopped sobbing, as if she had recalled something. Mrs. McGowan, can you remember the exact

date and twhen they cover?"

As soon as she was done speaking, Lauren realized that she had asked a stupid question. It was definitely after

she had been put in jail, so it could still be either Willy or Zedd.

Seemed to have remembered something, Lauren searched for his picture online, but only found one picture of

Willy's side profile after looking for a while. "Take a look at this... was this the man?"

The couple took her cell phone over and looked at it, but they weren't too sure about it. "Judging by his side

profile and his outfit, it does look like him. However, we can't see his face clearly, so we're not sure either!"

Sharon took a look as well, and asked curiously, "Who are you talking about?"

Hearing their answer, Lauren was pretty confident with her guess. She put her cell phone away and said, "I think

I know who it was!"

If it were him, then it could still be great news!

However, if he had already gotten the evidence, why didn't he tell her about it?

Lauren's mind was in a mess. She gave Sharon a glance, but didn't say anything. After that, they thanked the

couple and left.

Lauren wasn't clear about the situation yet, so she didn't tell Sharon much about it, and only ranted briefly to her

after they walked out. After that, they went their separate ways, and Sharon made a call after hesitating for a

while.

In the conference room, Willy was elated to receive a call from Lauren. He paused the meeting for ten minutes,

and ran over to the lounge next door, but before he could say anything, he received an intense scolding, and

was stunned for a moment.

"How did you know about the surveillance cameras at the McGowan's house?" she asked.

Was she looking for evidence for the case?

All of a sudden, Willy's brows furrowed in displeasure.

Just as he was about to say something, Lauren burst into flames.

"So, it was indeed you! Willy, you're the biggest jerk in the world! You've been lying tofor this whole time,

haven't you? You've already gotten your hands on the evidence, but you didn't helpprove my innocence. You

kept promisingthat you would, and you just kept comforting me. What are your intentions?" she yelled.

At first, it was only a guess. However, at that moment, Lauren was in disbelief. She clenched her fist so hard that

it crackled, and couldn't help feeling agitated.

She said, "We could've applied for an appeal immediately after submitting the evidence, and | would've been

proven innocent soon after that. | wouldn't have had to been temporarily bailed to wait for another trial, while

needing to report to them regularly. However, you didn't tellanything about it. You mentioned that you were

going to help me, why did you do that? Do you know how depressing my life is, having to carry a bad name

around like this? | couldn't even find a job, and people refused to hireeven as a part-timer! Everyone stayed

away fromand avoidedonce they heard that | have a criminal record. Did you have fun watching me

being isolated and distanced from others? Are you happy seeingbeing exhausted over work everyday?"

"Willy, you're a selfish b*stard! You won't understand the feeling of receiving a salary of thousands daily in the

past, but not even being able to get 200 dollars after a day of running around for work now, and you won't

understand the feeling of not even being able to hail a taxi! | just want to prove my innocence sooner so that |

can work a proper job. Why are you hindering my plans and bullying me? Why are you lying toand scheming

againsttoo?" she yelled. Lauren was so angry that she burst into tears.

She muttered, "Why? Why are you rubbing salt on my wound? Why do you have to stabin the heart? Why?

What did | even do to you? | didn't even know you in the past..."

As Lauren spoke, she was immersed in her own thoughts, and her gaze was in a daze.

"Laurie..." Willy didn't think that she was going to think that way, and his initial happiness was replaced by

indescribable panic. At that moment, his mind was in a mess as well.

"Don't call me! Stay away from me, you jerk!" she shouted.

With a roar, Lauren hung up the phone, and began to sob profusely by the streets.

"Laurie! Let me..." He wanted to explain!

Willy called out to her anxiously, and his face started to darken. He tried to call her back, but all of his calls went

to the voicemail. He slammed the cell phone on the table, and couldn't help but to curse. "D*mn it!" he shouted.

Why wouldn't she let him talk?

Willy pulled the door open, and almost crashed into Lexx, who was there to remind him that the meeting was

about to resume. "Mr. Bowles..."

"The meeting is dismissed!" Willy said.

Leaving those words behind, Willy strode towards the door.

"Huh?" Lexx was perplexed.

He was stunned for a while, and sounds of discussion cfrom the conference room. Lexx returned to his

senses, and hurried back to his spot. "Erkhem..." he coughed.

What in the world was going on? Why didn't he tell him about it earlier? There were a whole group of executives

waiting for him!

"Erm... about the plan for the project,

you may return to your departments

and make further discussions and adjustments to improve the suggestions! We will have another meeting to

discuss the details another time, hopefully, we'll be able to approve the plans in one go the next time. We

mustn't repeat the smistakes! The meeting is dismissed!" Lexx said.

"Yes, sir!" the members of the meeting said.

Ignoring the views of the passers-by, Lauren sat on the stone steps in the park of a small plaza and cried

uncontrollably. It wasn't until a naughty little boy ran up to her when she finally stopped crying. "You're crying

even though you're an adult, that's shameful..." he said.

Just then, a woman panted as she ran over, and pulled the boy away. She slapped his hands as a punishment.

"Solo! You're a naughty boy! How

could you say that? She will be sad! She's a girl too, while you're a man So, you shouldn't bully a girl, and you

shouldn't make fun of a girl. Haven't | taught you this before? Apologize to this lady, quick!" she said.

The little boy hid behind the woman's body shyly, and the woman chuckled embarrassedly as she said. "I'm so

sorry, Miss. My son is a little mischievous, please don't take it seriously!"

Lauren shook her head and gave

them a smile. At that moment, she

thought that the woman in front of her was as pretty as an angel. Her outfit was plain, but she was righteous and

kind. It was obvious

Bel.

that she was good at teaching her

son as

well.

"It's okay..." she said.

As soon as she was done with her words, the little boy handed a flower to her. "Please don't cry, here's a flower

for you! Please don't be mad at me..."

Lauren didn't expect the child to do that, and her heart melted instantly. She reached out awkwardly to take the

flower, and began to tear up again, but with a smile on her face that time. "Thank you..." she said.

They chatted casually for a while, and the woman left with the little boy afterwards. Watching them leave and

looking at the red flower in her hand, Lauren couldn't help but to touch her belly. Was she going to have a child

as adorable as him in the future?

At the thought of the father of the child, Lauren's tears began to trickle down her face again. Why was she

thinking about the future when she hadn't even settled her current situation? Willy!

"You jerk, you b*stard, boohooo..." Why did he have to be the father of her child?

Just as she was murmuring on her own, a familiar figure rushed towards her. "Laura, are you okay?

Are you hurt? I'll send you to the hospital!"
