Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"So, do I really have to go and convince her? Is there really no other way?" Zedd asked.

The lawyer shook his head. Zedd was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted, "Sh*t! You're useless! What's the point of hiring you?"

If he could persuade Lauren, did he have to go all the way there?

The lawyer narrowed his eyes and a smile quickly formed on his face again. "Mr. Michaels, if you are not satisfied with me, you can ask someone else for help. Goodbye!"

Zedd was angered. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end, he said nothing and just turned around and strode away.

With a loud slam of the door, the lawyer snorted with disdain, "If it's not for the sake of the old man, who would want to serve a wicked person like you?"

Zedd was blessed with a good hand but he didn't play the game well!

Lauren made several phone calls on the way, but all of them were rejected. She was very dejected as she closed her cell phone.

Indeed, there was still no other way!

There was no problem with her academic background and experience, but when she was being asked about her current position, she couldn't help but to feel guilty. She was not suspended, but was fired. That itself was something that she couldn't get over with. "Sigh..."

It was rare to be lucky enough to meet someone like Carney! Home tutoring and substitute classes didn't work anymore. At first she was not ashamed of being a ghostwriter in writing thesis, but she had learnt a lesson and she didn't dare to do it anymore! What else was she good at, that she could do?

Strolling on the street, Lauren was at a loss. Would she be like her mother whose life was ruined because of a man?

Lowering her head, she muttered dejectedly, "However, I'm not even married yet..."

Her eyes fell on her belly which was still flat, and her mind suddenly went blank before she uttered, "When one is unlucky, everything would turn against them!"

Just when she couldn't even support herself, another burden emerged! Should she be happy or

sad?

Lauren touched her belly unconsciously, but she did not realize that she was actually smiling and feeling warm!

"No, I have to do my best!"

Lauren cheered herself up inwardly. She planned to find a place to have dinner first, and then continue on.

She couldn't be defeated as she still had to raise her baby in the future! She had to save more money when she was still able to move around freely then. It would be even more difficult when her belly got bigger.

Lauren picked a fast-food restaurant that looked hygienic and ordered a bowl of noodles. While eating, she was looking for various part-time jobs on the Internet. After searching for a while, she selected a few that were more suitable for her, and said, "Proofreading! Story book translator? Recorder..." She was good in English, and she also knew a little German!

She was not afraid of dullness, and she also had patience. As she didn't need to deal with too many people, she would be able to do these. She jotted down all the phone numbers one by one, and planned to try later on during the day.

As she took two more bites, a few dishes were suddenly served in front of her. Glancing along the red tray, Lauren saw Zedd, which made her stomach turn.

"Lauren, what a coincidence! Why are you only eating noodles? It's not nutritious! I ordered beef and some other dishes..." Zedd said.

Sitting down, Zedd was about to put the dishes in her bowl. Almost at the same time, Lauren slammed her cutlery down and said, "You are so disgusting! Why did you touch my noodles?"

Laure had lost her appetite. She grabbed the pen and paper on the table and walked out. It was so annoying. She couldn't even eat properly!

"Lauren..." Zedd said.

Zedd chased after her and blocked her path, saying, "Lauren, don't be like this. I'm just worried about you! Are you looking for a job? Are you facing any difficulties?"

Recalling the content in the cell

phone he caught a glimpse of the moment before and the plain noodle soup she ordered, Zedd was puzzled and felt troubled, and he was trying to find out about it. What situation was she in? Did she get a toyboy earlier on to put on an act? Or, if it was real, did they break up then and was she broke again?

If that was the case, then wouldn't it be a great opportunity for him?

Thinking quickly, Zedd had already taken out his wallet and all the cash inside as he spoke, "You have no family members here. Life must be tough for you! I have some money here. You can take it first..."

He stuffed the money into her hand. When he was about to ask for her card number or to befriend her on her social media platform, suddenly, the stack of bills was thrown back at him. She said,

"Are you giving me a couple hundred dollars? Do you think that I'm a beggar? Zedd, my house and my savings are worth at least a million dollars. How could you bring yourself to give me just a few hundred dollars?" There was no free lunch in the world. At that moment, Lauren was really afraid to be tricked by him!

She really couldn't imagine that the son of a rich man who ran a small company wouldn't even spare her money. Indeed, the wealthier they were, the stingier they were!

"Keep your hypocrisy to yourself!

You must have some dirty trick up your sleeve trying to give me this money! Zedd, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, and if I get fooled for the third time, then I'm just really dumb! I don't care what your purpose is, just don't show up in front of me again! I'll take back everything that belongs to me! Even if I die, someone will take them back for me. So, no matter what you want to do, give it up! Get out of my way!" Lauren scolded.

Lauren was furious when she saw him. She really wanted to tear him into pieces.

She turned and wanted to leave, but Zedd blocked her path again. When she was about to scold him again, Zedd suddenly knelt down on the street and slapped himself. He cried hard. "Lauren, I'm sorry! I didn't want it to be like this..."

"I didn't want to betray you or hurt you, and I didn't want to do anything that would upset you, but I was set up. It was all that woman's fault. She drugged me, and made me do something that hurt you. She even threatened me that if I don't be with her or do what she said, she will go to the prison and tell you everything. I was afraid of losing you..."

"Lauren, believe me, I love you! I didn't tell you about it because I'm afraid that if I did, I won't have the chance to be with you again!"

"I was just playing along with her! I was thinking of obeying her, getting back the video, and then I would cut things off with her! Lauren, I'm a b*stard, and I'm sorry!"

"Can you give me another chance?"

"Honey, I love you, I really screwed up!"

Zedd gripped one of her legs, and pleaded with her again and again. Meanwhile, Lauren was also stunned. At that moment, people started gathering around them, trying to persuade her, "Miss, a fault confessed is half redressed. How about giving him another chance?" She suddenly came to her senses, but she couldn't get rid of the man who was clutching her leg. Lauren was filled with anger and shouted, "We are not husband and wife!"

"Why can't you both talk it out? Hey girl, you shouldn't be like this!"

"Indeed! There's no married couple who won't bicker, at least he was sorry! Since he's already doing this for you now, why don't you give him a chance?"

"As a wife, don't be too harsh!"

A flurry of discussions erupted around them, and Lauren was also feeling anxious. She pulled Zedd aside and said, "Let's go! Aren't you ashamed? Let's talk over there!" Willy and Lexx just got out of the car and they saw the scene. Willy narrowed his eyes and murmured,

"This stupid woman!"
