The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1312

Chapter 1312
After getting drunk, it took Anthony two days before he finally
went to meet Stella.
However, on his way to meet Stella, he encountered Edith.
She was dressed quite casually, with a crop top that exposed her belly button, paired with very short shorts, and wearing a baseball cap.
She was bending over, checking her car, which seemed to
have broken down, causing her to pull over to the side of the
road.
It was scorching hot, and the blazing sun shone on her,
making her look like a porcelain doll surrounded by golden light, captivating anyone who laid eyes on her.
Once upon a time, when she saw him, she would rush over
without hesitation, wrap her arms around his waist, and smile
up at him.
But now…
Edith’s warning words still lingered in his mind.
Those words would wake Anthony up in pain during midnight dreams.
He stared at that figure for a few seconds, hesitated, and then got out of the car.
“Miss Knight.”
Anthony maneuvered through the traffic, about to approach Edith when Dylan appeared in front of her.
“Is anything wrong with your car?”
Edith raised her sweaty face and looked at Dylan, who had a tall and imposing figure.
“Yeah, I’m not sure what’s wrong. It suddenly wouldn’t start…”
Dylan leaned forward, lowered his gaze, and glanced at the
engine.
“You should call a tow truck.”
Edith thought he would at least help her figure out what went
wrong.
Little did she know that he couldn’t even be bothered to lend a
hand, instead felling her to call a tow truck.
“I already called, but it will take a while.”
Edith looked at her watch and realized she had plans to play golf with her friends today, and it seemed she wouldn’t make
it in time.
“Do you have something urgent to attend to?”
Seeing her looking at her watch, Dylan couldn’t help but ask.
“I have plans to play golf with some friends. It’s not good to be
late.”
Dylan glanced at his own car.
“Well…how about I give you a ride?”
That night, Edith took a ride with Dylan and they strolled
around ARCADIA Beach, took a boat ride, and had a
conversation, but nothing particularly special happened
between them.
L
They both came from similar backgrounds and had good
education, so their conversations were deep and meaningful, leaving a decent impression on each other.
However, after the outing, they didn’t make plans to meet
again, it was an unspoken agreement. So when they met on
the road now, Dylan’s offer was simply out of kindness, and
Edith didn’t think too much of it.
“Will it inconvenience you?”
A hint of an elegant smile appeared on Dylan’s handsome
face.
“I have nothing to do all day.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and beckoned to his
assistant inside the car.
“You stay here and wait for the tow truck.!”
The assistant respectfully replied, “Yes,” and Dylan gestured for Edith to get into the car.
Edith didn’t hesitate and followed Dylan, getting into the car. As the car door closed, she finally noticed Anthony standing by the side of the road.
When her gaze met his intense, unwavering eyes, Edith showed no emotional reaction and averted her gaze, treating
him as if he were a stranger, indifferent and unloving.
Anthony gently placed his fingers on his chest, perhaps she had forgotten. Years ago, on that day when she was cornered
and bullied by a group of foreigners, it was he who risked his
life, charging in and getting stabbed multiple times to save
her…
Yes, after her high fever, she had indeed forgotten. She thought someone else had saved her, and she thought he
didn’t care about her or love her enough. But in the end, who
was the one lacking love for whom…
