Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 326

Simon froze, his whole body going stiff as his face turned pale. Clara picked up the clothes from the ground and tossed them back to him. "These clothes cost a fortune. Try not to waste them. Everything you're spending is coming from the Ferguson family, and you haven't even started earning your own money yet."

Her words hit him like a punch to the gut, wiping out the last trace of color from his face. Holding the clothes tightly, he turned away, feeling defeated. As he opened the car door, he couldn't help but ask, his eyes burning, "Clara, who is your boyfriend? Can I at least meet him?"

He just needed to know what he lacked. Even if he was a failure, could he really be worse than a waiter? Clara just closed her eyes. "Why do you want to meet him? He doesn't like meeting people."

A waiter who avoids people? Yeah, right. He probably looks awful and doesn't want to embarrass Clara. But Clara was never short of handsome guys around her. Even her younger brother Ryan was quite the looker.

Simon got into the car, slamming the door shut. He was determined to find out who this so-called boyfriend was.

After he left, Clara waited until nine when Dylan's car finally arrived. She didn't even bother to call out, knowing he was probably still upset. The car stopped in front of her, and a voice came through the slightly open window. "Get in."

Clara was taken aback for a moment but quickly opened the door and got in. She was chilled to the bone, and the warmth inside the car made her shiver slightly as she rubbed her hands together.

Dylan's eyes stayed glued to the documents on his lap, not even glancing at her. But Clara noticed the dark circles under his eyes had deepened. Though they didn't take away from his good looks, they made him look worn out.

The car pulled into the main residence at Palm Bay. She got out first, opening the door for him. Dylan was wheeled into the study without a word, leaving Clara unsure of how to break the silence.

She sat next to him, quietly organizing his papers until Aiden came in, holding a bottle of medicine. "Sir, this was shipped overnight from overseas."
