The Masterpiece of Leaving:Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 93

Robin casually tilted his head and tapped his ear. "I've already asked Fredrica to contact Drift King. If she can join the race, it will be interesting."

Thunder Strike and Drift King. Anyone with a little knowledge of racing would recognize these two names. They were absolute top-notch figures in the racing world. Thunder Strike was Robin himself, while Drift King's true identity remained unknown to the public.

Cathy didn't care much about whether Drift King would come or not. Despite spending years abroad, she never gave up on racing and achieved decent results. Although she might not be able to beat Robin, getting second place was still respectable. For a girl, getting second place meant being extraordinary.

Aubrey would surely be impressed if he saw it. She wanted to showcase her excellence in front of Aubrey.

"Aubrey, can you join us?" She coaxed Aubrey again.

Aubrey pursed his lips and looked at Cathy. "What about your eyes... Are they alright?"

"Eyes?" It suddenly dawned on Cathy that she had just checked her eyes and was told that her left eye had almost zero vision. Cold sweat silently emerged from her back. For a moment, she almost couldn't hold herself and stumbled.

But as a former celebrity who had experienced large-scale events, she quickly composed herself and said, "Don't worry, I'm used to it."

"Okay, then." Aubrey nodded.

He didn't want to get involved in the excitement, but considering all that Cathy had done for him, he couldn't refuse her this time. Seeing Aubrey agree, Cathy felt extremely happy. Aubrey put on a facade of being sweet and nice in front of Robin, showering her with pampering and indulgence. Her vanity was extremely pleased and content.

She tiptoed and leaned in to kiss his cheek, but Aubrey instinctively turned slightly, almost avoiding it. However, the avoidance wasn't very apparent, and it appeared to outsiders that Cathy had successfully kissed him.

Cathy stiffened, feeling embarrassed. But when she realized this, she quickly reined in her disappointment and put on a coquettish smile. Robin, who was standing by the side, saw all of this.

He pressed his lips together and used his thumb to subtly press against his lips, saying, "Cathy, some things lose value if you ask for them. If you ask for something and can't get it, there's no chance."

His words carried deep meaning. Cathy had wanted Aubrey to accompany her in the race, and if Aubrey truly loved her from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn't make her beg and would have agreed immediately. How could a man remain indifferent when he knew his beloved woman was participating in a dangerous activity? Avoiding her kiss in front of him seemed like he hadn't fully accepted her.

As a man, Robin understood the thoughts of other men very well. Cathy was clever, and as soon as she heard his words, she immediately understood. Her face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Aubrey silently.

Aubrey furrowed his brows slightly and embraced Cathy with some remorse. He looked at Robin and said, "Don't apply those theories haphazardly to us." He straightforwardly protected himself, making Cathy feel better.

There was a moment of silence before Robin finally spoke and gave Cathy the time and location of the race. He hopped into his car and drove away, leaving nothing but silence in his wake.

Navier's perspective

On the other side, in the car, Fredrica continued to persuade me, "Come on, it's a rare opportunity. Besides, the company isn't that busy now, and you have nothing else to do."

I still had a calm expression, "Iris is waiting for me to get home, and it's been ages since I saw Dad. He must be worried."

"Don't worry," Fredrica said, waving her phone proudly. "I've called your dad. When he heard that you were out with me, he told me to take you out and have a good time. He probably doesn't want you to come back for a whole week!"

"As for Iris," she went on, "she asked me to film a video of your race to show her."
