Devil President's Night Bride

Chapter 271 Are You Blaming Me

She struggled, but her hand was grasped so hard that she couldn't get rid of his grip.

"Lionel, let go of me. What's the point of doing this? You don't need to do that. All you need to do is to take good care of yourself. Just leave me alone," Amanda said.

"I also want to. I have known you clearly in my mind since the beginning. I know how dangerous it is to have an intersection with you, but I still can't control myself. I want to meet you, to be with you." The expression on Lionel's face was distorted.

Amanda was stunned. Then the doorbell rang. It was from outside and the sound of knocking was heard. "Amanda, open the door! Open the door!"

"Why is Josie here?" Amanda asked Lionel.

Lionel was also surprised. He let go of Amanda's hand and went to open the door.

There were also security guards outside the gate. One of them thought that Josie was here to make trouble, so he insisted on taking her away by force. Lionel said, "It is okay. We're all friends."

Josie came in with red eyes. Lionel closed the door and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come here? Do you think I'm standing in your way?" she asked angrily.

Lionel couldn't help but frown.

"Don't get me wrong, Josie. Sit down and have some tea," Amanda advised.

"Calm down. I am calm now. When I saw him drive away without hesitation, leave me alone, and take a taxi to your place regardless of everything, I was as cold as a snowman," Josie said.

Her words took Amanda by surprise.

"Josie, didn't you go home? Are you following me here?" Lionel asked.

"I just want to see how miserable the woman you loved is now and how you feel about her. It seems that Mrs. An is really living a good life. Even if there is a mess outside, there is still some peace for you. Then we don't need to worry. Lionel, let's go," Josie took a deep breath and said coldly.

"It's really late now. You must be very tired after the long flight. You have to go now." Seeing Josie coming over in such an imposing manner as if she was caught cheating on him, Amanda found it boring.

Seeing that Amanda didn't want to talk to him anymore, Lionel's heart ached. It was true that Josie was there. Amanda might only remember how he protected Josie and made her leave before. Now Amanda had no feelings for him anymore, he nodded and said, "Okay. Take good care of yourself. I'll go."

After seeing them off, Josie glared at Amanda as if she were her enemy. Josie turned to give Lionel a warm smile, and then Amanda closed the door.

The room became quiet again. She breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling what Lionel had said to her in such a fierce and direct way, she felt very sad. To tell the truth, Lionel was a calm and collected man. No one would vent his feelings so directly.

Amanda believed that even at this time, Lionel would be on her side, but she wouldn't let him do that, because she couldn't give him love. In the past, she wanted to be with him so much, but she was tired of marriage. Now, she thought that her identity of being abandoned was not suitable to marry Lionel who was caught in such a situation. She didn't want to make trouble for him.

"That was exactly the reason! But will I keep a distance from him because I don't want to get him into trouble?" Amanda murmured. A figure of Darren suddenly appeared in her mind, and she immediately felt a little sad. She shook her head. It was not because she didn't want to make trouble for him that she had to stay away from him, but because she couldn't give him any more love.

Amanda was sad. She was alone in the room, and she didn't have to pretend to be strong anymore. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

She was just a woman. No matter how strong she was, she had a soft heart.

"Lionel, why didn't you say anything? Were you angry because I tailed after you?" After walking out of the hotel, Josie couldn't help asking Lionel straightforwardly, as he didn't say anything.

"No. let me drive you home."

Josie took his hand and said, "Do you think that I have ruined your date? Do you think that you can be reunited if I come a little late?"

"Josie, let's go back," Lionel replied in a calm tone.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Lionel. "Your tone is so strange. We've been in the US for so long. When did you talk to me so coldly? It's all my fault. I've destroyed your marriage and ruined your relationship, isn't it?"

The onlookers were surprised to see the joyful scene. They wondered why this couple hadn't had a good talk. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Looking at the sparkling tears on her face under the streetlight, Lionel softened his heart. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears on Josie's face, saying, "The wind is so cold outside. If you keep crying like this, how many masks do you need to make up?"

Josie's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She threw herself directly into Lionel's arms and held him tightly. She had expected that Lionel would be very angry and even mad at her. She had already mentally prepared for this. She couldn't allow Lionel to get close to Amanda. Even though she was reprimanded by him, she intended to destroy this.

Josie was courageous and destined to die, just like a soldier carrying a tragic fate. However, even an inch of his gentleness could push her to give up. She felt wronged as well. She didn't want to lose Lionel. She didn't want to see him in love with Amanda.

They hailed a taxi and went straight to the Xia family's house. Neither of them mentioned the matter just now.

The meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Of course, Mr. Xia was not pleased with Lionel. Before leaving the room, he said to him, "This is the only daughter I have. She has grown up. We can't go against her own choice as long as she has something she wants to do. But I hope that you will still cherish our cherished daughter. This is what I want you to do. It's a father's request."

Josie smiled and said, "Thank you, father."

So Mr. Xia sent a car to send them to the Gu family.

"In fact, my father loves me very much. I really made him sad before." Sitting on the back seat, she leaned her head against his shoulder and murmured.
