She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 414

These words struck like a thunderbolt, terrifying Lyra to her very core. She almost dropped the phone in her shock, and would have if Andrea hadn't possessed the quick reflexes to catch it...

Fifty feet away, Rowan was watching her back through his half-open car window. His dark eyes were bottomless, and his sharp, cold features carried an air of nonchalance, looking every bit the puppet master coldly observing his board.

Because it was an unfamiliar vehicle, she had assumed it belonged to a neighbor making a temporary stop when she walked past earlier. She never in a million years expected Rowan to be sitting inside.

"Miss Fairchild, let's go," Andrea said, gently nudging her back.

Tears slipped down unexpectedly, trailing rapidly down Lyra's cheeks.

Seeing this, Andrea offered a kind word of comfort. "Don't be nervous. He couldn't hear anything from this distance. You can just talk to him properly."

Words could still completely salvage the situation.

However, as the distance between them closed, Andrea didn't dare say another word.

She opened the back door, gesturing for Lyra to get in, before taking her own seat in the passenger side.

Wesley Wade started the engine from the driver's seat, thinking to himself that this woman was entirely too bold. Given her current relationship with Rowan, she actually had the nerve to flirt with other men.

This time, Rowan pressed the button to raise the privacy partition himself. He pulled a tissue from the box and handed it to Lyra. "Why are you crying?"

Lyra silently took the tissue and dabbed at her eyes.

"Is it that painful not being able to be with him?"

Rowan mocked, "You certainly were 'waiting for me to come back'. If I had returned any later, you would have personally put the horns on me."

Lyra looked down at her hands and shook her head. "I just see him as a friend."

"Oh, really?" Rowan said lightly. "I thought you were about to throw yourself straight into his arms."
