Chapter44
On the way back, Roderick inexplicably asked the driver to detour to the flower shop Andrea often visited.
However, the busy figure in the shop window was a strange girl, and the decoration in the store had also completely changed.
Just as she was about to question him, she happened to look up at him, her eyes as innocent as a young girl’s. “Didn’t you used to complain that I was too busy to pay attention to you?”
Roderick stood there, stunned.
The sunlight shone through the car window onto her, the white dress outlining her slender waist, just like they looked when they first met.
“Now I can wholeheartedly accompany you.”
Roderick parked the car on the side of the road, grabbed her wrist, and only realized his palm was sweaty when he felt her pulse.
She was too perfect, perfect to be real.
The abnormality of the flower shop, Quinn’s provocation, and her unusually gentle demeanor at the moment…
All the clues were connected in my mind, but I couldn’t find that key piece.
“Andie.”
His voice was hoarse, with a plea that he didn’t even realize, “Don’t lie to me.”

Andrea looked up and planted a gentle kiss on his tense jaw, saying, “I will always be yours.”
This sentence calmed the restless beast like a spell.
Roderick buried his head in her neck, not seeing the look in her eyes
as she glanced past his shoulder out the window, empty and indifferent.
After holding her for a while, Roderick finally felt the realness of Andrea still being by his side.
The Adam’s apple bobbed heavily on top of her head, while Roderick absentmindedly rubbed the back of her neck.
He suddenly turned her face, his thumb brushing past the corner of her red lips.
“Starting tomorrow, you come to my company.”
Andrea’s eyelashes fluttered lightly.
For seven years, she was too familiar with his gentle control.
Whenever he sensed danger, he would lock her in a golden cage.
“The company was so busy, too tired…”
She pretended to frown weakly, but her fingertips were actually creasing the fold of his suit sleeve.
“Be my assistant.”
Roderick felt her pulsé with his thumb, sensing the faint beat.
“From morning till night, you were always in my sight.”
His voice suddenly lowered, with a chilling paranoia, “That’s the only

way I feel at ease.”
Andrea coldly watched him, then suddenly yanked her hand back.
“I didn’t know anything, so I would just be causing trouble for you if I went.”
She stood up straight, meeting the man’s dark and unclear gaze with her almond–shaped eyes.
“Roderick, you promised to take care of me for life before, now you’re backing out and want me to work, huh?”
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair, but she dodged.
“What I said counts, Andie doesn’t need to do anything, just stay at home and relax.”
The man suddenly approached, and Andrea instinctively backed away, her back against the cold door frame.
Roderick’s icy breath came over without any hesitation.
When she looked up, she ran into the man’s deep, mysterious eyes, hiding a surge she couldn’t understand.
She started to act up on purpose, trying to ruin the romance.
“So, you just asked me if I wanted to intern at the company?”
She bit her lower lip, her voice tinged with grievance.
“I can see that you clearly regret it.”
The hair fell down, casting a fine shadow on the cheek, adding a sense of brokenness to the stubborn expression.
