Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 460
— I didn’t lie to you, did I?
Suppressing my excitement, I continued forward. As he advanced, there were no more carriages and the road became narrower as the number of slopes increased. As a result, the number of tourists has decreased. Gradually, it was as if Eric and I were the only ones in the world. This really is a fascinating place. It’s like Eden without any bustle of life, every corner full of surprise and delight! Honestly speaking, I was now enchanted by this romantic atmosphere.
Eric and I stopped riding our bikes and walked. As we walked, we saw many older couples who had gone through countless tribulations in life but remained true to their feelings from the beginning, walking hand in hand. At some point, Eric reached out and took my hand. I looked up at him, only to be greeted by a warm smile on his face. His smile played havoc with my heart, and an absurd thought suddenly occurred to me. How nice it would be if I could spend the rest of my life walking hand in hand with him like this!
The sudden ringing of my cell phone broke the rare tenderness of the moment. When I caught a glimpse of the word ‘husband’ flashing across the screen, I suddenly realized how ridiculous my earlier thought was.
Removing my hand from Eric’s, I walked to the side and answered Carson’s call. “When are you coming back, dear?” He doesn’t sound gentle like he
used to. Instead, it sounds rather strange..
‘In a few days.’ He’s been calling me every day lately, but he’s never asked me when I’d be back. So why is he asking me this today?
“You’re in Germania now, right?
‘Yes.’
“Are you with Jenny?” Carson once asked me who I was with, so I told him Jenny’s name. However, it seems a bit odd that he’s asking me such
a question now.
– No, I’m alone now. Jenny came back. Although Carson didn’t necessarily know that Jenny was back, I still told him so to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
‘You must be feeling very bored there alone, no?’
‘Just a little.’
“Come back early, dear. I miss you!’
Carson’s call this time is really weird. Unlike the previous times he asked about my well being, he asked who I am with now. Does he know I’m hanging out with Eric?
Come to think of it, it seemed ridiculous that I was feeling so guilty. I just met Eric in Germania, and Carson isn’t clairvoyant, so how could he
know I’m with Eric?
However, Carson’s uncharacteristic behavior made me uncomfortable. What exactly is he trying to do? There is a problem at his company that he wants my help with. with? But then, he didn’t mention a single word.
