Please Come Back, My Love novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

“I know.” I said quietly. “Still… thank you.”

I turned to head back to the cabin, but his voice stopped me.

“I’ll keep watching over her in Hong Kong. I’ll keep her safe.”

Bitterness rose like bile. That was my job. My place. And I’d been robbed of it.

Still, I swallowed the fury and nodded. “For all our differences, I’m glad she has you near her.”

Renzo chuckled. “And what if I decide I want to keep her there by my side for good?”

A cold smirk tugged at my mouth. “Not gonna happen.”

I didn’t wait for his response. I returned to the cabin just in time to step into a brewing storm.

“I want you off this plane now!” Zinnia shouted at Ami, her fury on full display. “You have no right”

“I was invited,” Ami said smoothly, a knowing smile touching her lips. “Your father personally extended the invitation. Renzo just offered a better ride. And, from what I see…” Her gaze flicked around the spacious cabin. “There’s plenty of room.”

Zinnia stalked closer, her expression curling with disgust. “Don’t pretend I believe you and Renzo are together. I know what you

want you want Theron back. Dream on.”

“Enough!” My voice cracked through the cabin as I grabbed Zinnia’s wrist and yanked her back.

She glared at me like a feral cat, but I held her stare. “This is my plane. My rules. Ami stays. And if you don’t drop the tantrum, I will have you locked in the galley with the catering carts.”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

I smirked coldly. “Don’t tempt me.”

That finally shut her up. She turned to her champagne, fuming silently. Renzo and Ami settled into seats opposite us. A few minut later, the plane lifted into the sky and I prayed it’d be a smooth flight the rest of the way.

The first few hours were surprisingly calm. Zinnia drank herself into a slumber, and I could finally breathe. But keeping my eyes of

Ami was a war I was steadily losing.

She’d dozed off for a while too, but soon opened her laptop and began working on the French version of the Radiant App. She was right there so close I could reach out and touch her but I didn’t dare. Not here. Not with Chun Kit’s reach possibly extending into every corner of this damn plane.

Chapter 220

And Renzo? He monopolized her attention like it was a damn sport. Their hushed conversations burned in my ears. And that se

her smile aimed at him?

It was a dagger.

i finally snapped. Rising abruptly, I stalked to the rear of the plane and turned on my phone, needing a distraction. Anything. But

what I found only made things worse.

A late message from Lazaro: Ami had been invited to Hong Kong by Chun Kit himself.

I cursed under my breath and scrolled further.

Zebulon.

He hadn’t picked up last night when I called, but now he’d replied. I’d sent him a photo of Ami and Thayer and asked about the of rumors and photos he’d once tampered with. Now, he wanted me to call him back.

I ducked into the small soundproof room and dialed.

“I saw your call last night,” Zebulon said. “Could’ve picked up… probably should’ve. But after Cyrus, and what my father did…”

“I get it,” I said. “I know it’s not easy.”

He let out a dry laugh. “He disowned me. Said I’m not his son anymore. As if I ever wanted to be like him. But you know what? I’m

better off without him.”

“I’m glad you realize that,” I said sincerely.

“Me too…” A pause. “I still have those pictures of Ami. Kept all of them. Not sure why.”

“Did you see the one I sent?”

“That’s why I replied. I’ve got the original. The one you sent? It’s edited.”

My heart kicked. “Edited? You mean?”

“Someone added that dumb folder to the image. No idea why.”

“I do,” I growled. “Zinnia tried to use it to frame Ami make it look like she delivered documents for my mother.”
