Chapter 2854

After she had dished those words out to him, Patricia hurried off to her car parked at the lot.

Ellar's eyes glinted with pain and anguish at Patricia's response, but he gritted his teeth and followed her anyway.

He could feel that Patricia's resistance toward him was not as strong as he had expected, so he would do well not to

give up now.

Once they were in the car, Patricia, her tone cold and indifferent, said, ’Sit tight, I'll take you home first."

After that, she floored the gas pedal, bringing the car out of the parking lot in a jiffy. Having anticipated how fast

she would be going, El la r instinctively fastened his seatbelt and grabbed the handle.

On the way, Patricia was going at 80 miles an hour, making the atmosphere in the car quiet yet tense, with a

nervous Ellar tightening his grip on the handle, his face scrunched up in fear and concern. He knew that Patricia

was in a bad mood, and could not help but wonder if it was because of the confession he had made earlier.

After a while, Patricia took a right turn and brought him right to the entrance of BayCorp.

"Get off," Patricia ordered, her voice still sounding somewhat cold.

"Okay." Ellar, aware of her bad mood, obediently got out of the car, but not before dropping her a reminder. "Be

careful on your way back."

"You should take care of yourself,” Patricia said and stepped on the gas, speeding off and leaving a cloud of dust on

her way.

Ellar, who was left in an eerily empty street, grew increasingly worried as he watched her race off at breakneck

speeds. At the pace she was going, one would think she was competing in a NASCAR tournament.

Unable to put his worries aside, Ellar hailed a cab down and ordered the driver to tail Patricia from behind. It was

only after he had followed her around for a bit that he realized Patricia was not returning to her apartment. Instead,

she was making her way to the outskirts of the city.

This left Ellar puzzled. 'What is Patricia doing on the outskirts at this time?'

And it was not until Patricia arrived at an open area that Ellar understood what she was up to. As it turned out, she

was looking for a place to vent. It seemed that she was not as calm as she had appeared. Deep down, she might as

well have been a nervous wreck.

The instant she found a vast, empty stretch of road, Patricia floored the accelerator and sent the car forward at

blistering speeds. Within her chest was a strong, disruptive force weighing down on her heart and gnawing away at

her, and it was only by driving recklessly that she could feel a modicum of relief.

For reasons unknown to her, she felt inexplicably restless. Concurrently, Ellar's words were echoing in her mind,

asking her why she simply could not give them a chance. Still, she could not be bothered to acknowledge that she

had been too harsh or cold in her treatment toward him as there were factors beyond her control; factors which

Ellar would never be able to understand.

Meanwhile, Nicole and Jared had just returned to the Riddle residence. It was already late, and everyone had

already gone to bed, making both the house and the courtyard exceptionally quiet save for the symphony of

crickets chirping in the bushes.

But this did not bother Jared, who went on to hold Nicole's hand as they walked side by side.

"Do you have anything to say about Ellar and Patricia?" Nicole asked Jared in a soft voice.

She did not believe that Jared would do something so out-of -character for a man as stern and serious as himself

just because Ellar had addressed him as his brother-in-law.

"Let them decide forthemselves," Jared said indifferently.

He was not concerned about trivial issues that were not his own.

"But Patricia obviously has her concerns, and they are probably linked to her ties to the organization. It's not easy

for her to break free so easily." Nicole frowned, knowing that individuals like Patricia and Charlie harbored secrets

unknown to those outside the fold of their duties.

"I guess we'll have to see what her choices are, then," Jared replied, remaining indifferent.

After she had heard him, Nicole became even more certain that it was going to be a tough road ahead for Patricia

should she choose to pursue a normal life. However, it also seemed that Jared would not stop Patricia from leading

the life of an average Jane if she so desired.

Nicole then stared at him with a frown, realizing that she did not understand him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jared stopped and looked down at her, his eyes brimming with gentleness.

"If Patricia chooses to be with Ellar in the end, you won't stop her, right?" Nicole asked.

"Will you let me?" Jared asked, whereupon a defeated smile crossed his face.
