Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 57

"What?" The man looks at us incredulously.

Harrison takes out his wallet and throws a hundred bucks on the table. "The rest is your tip."

After that, he leaves with me in his arms. I didn't struggle because I don't want to stay here.

When I walk to the door, I stop and look back. The man seems very happy about the tip.

"Do you want me to take you home?"

Harrison's voice sounds above my head. I shake my head. "No, thank you."

Sitting in the car, we don't speak.

"Stop at the intersection. I'll walk back," I say softly.

But he acts as if he didn't hear me. He steps on the gas pedal and starts the car.

I'm not angry. I just think it's a bit ridiculous.

"If you want to say something, just say it," he says.

I tilt my head and look at him. "Does it matter what I want to say? Harrison, please stop doing anything that might give me the wrong

idea." "We are both aware of our relationship, but you've always been so flirtatious with me. Aren't you afraid that I will fall in love with you?"

I've been meaning to say that for a long time. I didn't tell him before because I still wanted his help.

But things are different now. I'm almost 30 years old and what I need is a long-term relationship. I'm afraid I'm gonna fall in love with him and he's just toying with me.

I can't afford this.

As he parks his car, he turns to look at me and asks, "Is it your problem or mine? You're dating another man while you are with me. Aren't you going too far?"

"But we're not a couple! You give me money, and I sleep with you. Can't I contact other men when you're not around?" I sneer.

Turns out he thinks I can't date other men as long as I still owe him. He doesn't love me. He just doesn't want anyone to touch what's rightfully his.

It's not too late for me to know that.

"I don't like sharing my belongings," he says in a low voice.

So in his eyes, I'm just one of the belongings.

He's gonna abandon me whenever he's tired of me.

I stop smiling. 'Tm almost 30 years old. I can't wait any longer."

"Wait for what?" he asks.

"I'll probably be too old to have children in a few years. I need to find a man who truly loves me, or my mother will always worry about me. Do you understand?"

Harrison has asked me a lot of questions tonight. I answered his questions, but he never seemed to understand what I was saying.

In the end, I feel tired. I get off the car after saying goodbye.

He doesn't stop me or drive away like before. Perhaps I should thank him for respecting me.

I've already made up my mind. I'll return the black card to him tomorrow and give him an IOU. When I get a job, I'm gonna work my ass off to pay him back.

Suddenly, someone grabs me from behind and presses me against the wall. I scream in pain, but he kisses me hard the next moment.

It's dark in the parking lot, but his smell tells me who he is. After being stunned for a while, I try my best to push Harrison away. But right now, he's like a mountain.

I want to bite him, but his kiss makes me crazy.

"That was a nice dress. Should I buy it?"

"Whatever."

"Hey, why are you being so impatient?"

"What should I say? I told you..."

My heart skips a beat. This voice can't be more familiar to me. It's my ex- husband, Callen! Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As if noticing my shock, Harrison lets go of me. He follows my line of sight and looks over. With a smile, he says, "What a coincidence."

Maisy doesn't see me, probably because I'm in the darkness. She whispers to Callen, as if to ask who I am.

I whisper to Harrison, "Let's go."

"Wait. Don't you want to see us?" Callen asks.

I'm a bit surprised. He's got a thick skin for saying that.

I turn to look at him. "Mr. Gibbs, I just didn't think you'd want to see me, after everything you've done to me."

"Chelsea! Why are you here!" Maisy asks in sharp voice, looking at me defensively.

I guess what happened last time is still hanging over her. She is afraid to come near me, but she holds on to Callen for fear that I would seduce him.

Callen's much calmer than her. He looks at Harrison and says, "Mr. Stewart, I heard you've been out of the office lately. Turns out you're just busy with your personal life. But I think the career is more important."

"I built this company from the ground up. Mr. Gibbs, I really envy you for your wife helping you get where you are." Harrison puts his arms around my waist and holds me tightly.

What he said is just so ironic. Callen must be pissed off now. I forget my quarrel with him and let him hold me.

From the way Callen treats Harrison, I can tell Harrison is someone Callen can't afford to mess with.

At this time, Maisy steps forward and scolds Harrison. "Who the hell are you? Do you know who my dad is?"

"I do." Harrison sounds neither angry nor happy.

Callen pulls her back and asks, "Do you want to grab a coffee?"
