Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 972

There was a customized black bulletproof Maybach with a golden dragon clearly inscribed on it. There were bodyguards stationed in front of and behind the car. Judging from the situation, it seemed that there was some important family event going on that day.

Lauren glanced over and stopped in her tracks at the same time. She turned around and took a deep breath. Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind when she was about to find a spot to hide before she could leave.

"Laurie..."

Lauren paused. She closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. She heard the voice again which got closer when she was about to walk away.

"What's wrong? It's only been a few days since we last met. Have you forgotten about me?"

Lauren remained silent. The person tapped on Lauren's head with a finger and continued, "Is it embarrassing to be around me? You tend to avoid me whenever there's someone else around! Should I bring you to an eye specialist?"

Elijah could tell that Lauren was pretending not to see him again!

Judging by Lauren's timid personality, she would keep on hiding if Elijah didn't stop her.

Lauren blinked her eyes and turned around slowly. She was then staring at a well-poised, suited man before her.

"Elijah, I..."

After greeting Elijah, Lauren inadvertently took a glance at the entrance of East Bannpool.

Following Lauren's gaze, Elijah could guess what Lauren was thinking. He said, "You don't have to keep searching for it. Uncle and Mom aren't here! I'm here on business!"

Did that mean that he went through all these troubles to put on a show just to prove that he was powerful?

As soon as he finished speaking, Lauren changed her attitude completely. She grabbed Elijah's arm and said with a smile,

"I'm not worried about this! Elijah, what a coincidence. How is everyone at home? I miss you and Aunt so much!"

"Well, if you truly miss me, why were you trying to hide from me?"

Elijah raised his hand and flicked Lauren's forehead playfully. He frowned in disgust when she saw Lauren dressed in simple attire.

"Why haven't I seen you giving a lecture recently? Is there a new research topic? My mother just mentioned to me two days ago that she hasn't seen you for a long time! You're such a beautiful girl, but you just like to dress like a boy. Don't you know how to do yourself up properly?"

Lauren lowered her head in response to Elijah's reproach. She was used to it, but she couldn't help sticking out her tongue as she thought, "Elijah is so long-winded, every single time!"

Lauren felt touched at that moment. There were too many things that happened lately, and she felt overwhelmed with sadness and grievances. However, she did not say anything.

She deliberately made a phone call to her family members to inform them that she was safe when the explosion happened. She was out of prison then, and she was hesitant to tell them more about her situation at that time.

In fact, Lauren was deep down a stubborn woman. Subconsciously, she did not want her family to see her while she was in a mess.

Therefore, she just smiled and didn't mention anything else.

"The next time I see you, I'll definitely dress properly to avoid embarrassing you. All right, Mr. Luther? Otherwise, you'll always look at me in disdain! Elijah, fortunately, I'm not your girlfriend!"

Otherwise, it would be such torture for Lauren to be lectured by Elijah everyday.

Elijah rolled his eyes at Lauren. Seeing her slender figure, Elijah felt heartbroken. He said, "Were you so occupied in your research that you didn't eat and sleep well? Why are you becoming thinner? Laurie, you're the eldest daughter of the Luther family..."

Lauren was not short of money. Why didn't she take care of herself more?
