The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 636

Watching the scene unfold before me, I couldn't help but marvel again at how wonderful it was to be young.

Young love really was something else.

Marcus looked like the quintessential, mild-mannered gentleman, but the way he abruptly scooped Amber up and marched toward his car was fiercely dominant and left no room for argument.

Amber was clearly startled. She put up a token struggle, but anyone with eyes could see she was secretly relishing it.

"Marcus, you jerk! Let me go!" Even as she was being deposited into the passenger seat, she kept yelling at him. "Selena, help me! Call the police and have this bastard arrested for kidnapping me in broad daylight!"

I couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, stop fighting him. Just treat it as letting him give you a ride to work."

"Dr. Hayes, are you sure..." Marcus trailed off, looking slightly apologetic as he buckled Amber in, slammed the door, and locked the car.

I knew exactly what he was trying to say and waved him off immediately. "I'm fine. I'll just order a ride. Take this chance to really talk things out with Amber."

I didn't need Marcus to drive me to work. The young couple had fought explosively the night before, and the sooner they cleared up their misunderstanding, the better.

Marcus shot me a look of deep gratitude before pulling open the driver's side door and sliding in. With Amber still yelling furiously in the passenger seat, the car sped off.

I smiled and waved goodbye, then pulled out my phone to hail a ride. Just as I opened the app, a sharp honk pierced the air.

A Black Range Rover rolled to a silent halt right in front of me. The driver's window glided down, revealing Ferris's devastatingly handsome profile.

The silver rims of his glasses caught the morning light as he looked up. His deep, captivating eyes were dark and fathomless. "Get in."

"That's very kind of you, Director Sterling, but I'm fine. I can get a ride myself," I instantly rejected the offer.

The man was completely relentless. I had just managed to escape him, and not even ten minutes later, he was back in my face.
