Chapter 28
He had watched as she ran in the rain, her clothes sopping wet. Even from a distance, he could see that she was shivering from the cold.
Cecilia was sitting in the passenger seat.
She had been playing on her phone for around an hour. Finally, she yawned and asked, “Waylen, didn’t you say that we’re going out for a midnight snack? You’ve been Iooking for a restaurant for over an hour now. Hey, wait a second, isn’t that Tyrone’s girlfriend?”

He glanced at her and said, “Aren’t you trying to lose weight? How can you eat at this late hour?”
Cecilia fell silent. Her brother was right.
Dejected, she took out her cell phone and chatted with Harold to keep her mind off the food she could have eaten.
The following day, Waylen went back to the family mansion to fetch a document.
As soon as he went downstairs, he heard Cecilia shouting, “Waylen, Miss Gordon refused my offer! I can’t believe she won’t take twenty thousand!”
