Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 167

His Wife Got In The Car With Another Man 

Kai had been so swamped with work today that he forgot to bring this up earlier

Then he decided to wait for a better time when the boss was in a good mood

Kai swallowed. Um” 

What’s wrong?” 

Kai decided to let the evidence speak for itself

He unlocked his phone, cued up the footage from the hospital, and handed his iPhone to Austyn, avoiding eye contact in the meanwhile 

This is the CCTV footage from Mr Hewitt’s 

ward.‘ 

Austyn scowled as he took the phone. Why can’t you just tell me?” 

Kai gripped the steering wheel with both hands and pretended not to hear the question

Austyn hit Play.” 

The hospital ward showed up on the screen

A doctor was in the room

Kira walked in

Followed by a man

Austyn stared at the face in disbelief

牢牢 

Kira was walking through the lobby when her phone rang

Liam Cane

She pulled up short

The last time he called, he’d asked her to be his girlfriend

Kira had hung up in a hurry

Then radio silenceno calls or texts from him for almost a week

Kira thought he’d given up the idea

Why was he calling her now

Her ringtone rang persistently

Bob Dylan urged her to pick up the call

Kira gripped her phone. Hello, Mr Cane.” 

Are you off work now?” 

Um, yes.‘ 

Have you thought about what I said last time?He got straight to the point

Kira came out of the front door. Yes.‘ 

And?‘ 

And I think I’m going to 

Wie Gorm The Car With Another Man 

Wait. For news this important, I’d want to see you face to face.

Kira stood on the sidewalk. But I’m at the office. I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to 

Look up.” 

Kira raised her head

Liam’s candy red Bentley was parked on the other side of the road

The man himself was leaning against the car, waving at her with a smile on his face

Kira gawked

Let’s talk.His mellow voice travelled down the line clearly

Liam started walking towards her

Stop right there!Kira shouted

He did. Why? What’s wrong?‘ 

Kira kept her head down and dashed across the road

She circled round to the passenger side of the Bentley, pulled the door open and scrambled inside

The whole process took less than ten seconds

The only two witnesses of the scene were sitting inside the Hummer, parked twenty metres away

With a blank face, Austyn watched Kira get into the car

There was not a sound in the Hummer… 

Kai was glad he was sitting down; his knees were weak

Boss had just watched the footage

Liam Cane was the one with Kira at the hospital

He steadied her when Kira almost collapsed

Both his arms were around her shoulders

Kai had seen the video multiple times

Now he did not dare make a sound

He knew Boss was on the verge of losing his temper, big time

The last time Boss had gone berserk, he’d shot the person who killed Deborah

One bullet, close range, straight to the head

Four bodyguards weren’t enough to stop him

Liam was somehow involved

He probably would have died at Austyn’s hands back then if their father hadn’t arrived in time

Kal could only imagine what Boss was feeling when he saw Kira get in the car with Liam

When Austyn finally spoke, his voice had gone hoarse and cold. Follow them.” 

Yes, Boss,Kai started the engine straight away

When he heard a loud snap from the backseat, Kai prayed it was the signature pen and not his iPhone

The assistant kept his eyes on the Bentley and said a silent prayer for Young Madam

His Wife Get in The Car With Another Man 

Boss had seen her get into Liam’s car, an act tantamount to waving a muleta in front of an already enraged bull

Liam glanced at Kira in the front passenger seat

She was panting hard, her chest rising and falling rapidly

Liam caught himself staring and looked away

There’s water in the glovebox if you’re thirsty.He started the engine

Thank you.Kira removed a bottle of mineral water

She twisted off the cap and took a big swig to calm her pounding heart

Hopefully, no one saw her get into the Bentley

you just drank the water like that?Liam asked

‘Huh?She looked at him. What do you mean?‘ 

What if the water’s drugged?” 

Kira coughed and spluttered, spilling water on the front of her shirt

You’re joking, right?” 

You caught me.” 

Kira put down the bottle anyway

How’s work?Liam’s tone was casual, as if he were a husband picking up his wife before driving home together

Kira fidgeted in her seat

Liam had driven off before she could say anything

she intended to just get in the car and out of public view and then lay all her cards on the table

You can stop the car now,she said

Why?‘ 

So we can talk‘ 

But I’ve already booked a restaurant.” 

I didn’t agree to have dinner with you,Kira said with an edge to her voice. And it’s going to be a short conversation 

anyway.‘ 

Still, even a death row inmate gets his last meal. Just indulge me this one time, okay?” 

Liam didn’t slow down the car

Kira gripped the grab handle

Liam Cane had made quite an impression on her when they first met

He saved her bag from a mugger and got knifed for his trouble

Then they ran into each other again at the hospital, where he helped obtain surveillance footage for her father’s ward

Kira would have liked to keep in touch with him as a friend, but all that changed when he asked her out

He seemed to be absolutely serious about pursuing her and wasn’t shy about making advances on her

It was more attention than Kira wanted

This Wife Got In The Car With Another Man 

She decided that this was going to be their last meeting

From the rearview mirror, Liam glimpsed the black vehicle following his Bentley

The make of the car was too unique to be mistaken

Liam smiled to himself once he realised to whom the car belonged

Rush hour traffic was slow, giving the Hummer plenty of opportunity to catch up with the Bentley
