Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) -
Chapter 635 Charged Through the Barriers
Raquella nearly fell backward from fright. She turned around to replace the security guard standing behind her.
While she had been busy with her fear, he had walked over and spotted her sitting on the top of the wall. He looked like he was going to drag her off the wall at any moment.
"Are you in your rebellious phase? I said no, so why do you insist on going out?" the security guard roared.
The angry security guard was about to charge over to the wall. She slammed her eyes shut and forced herself to jump.
On the other hand, Frank kept his word. He caught her without issue.
"What is going on with you two? I told you to stop! Why do you insist on running off?" The security guard huffed.
However, he was unable to climb across the wall himself, so he had no choice but to shout to them, "Come back!" Frank did not plan to obey the security guard. He swiftly grabbed the bags and ran off with Raquella in tow.
"Brats!"
The security guard's shouts faded away into the distance.
Now that they were out of the building, their next task was to replace a way to get to Aunt Mariana's home.
They stood by the side of the road and watched the few cars speeding past them.
Impatient, he said, "Why don't we just walk? With the outbreak, taxis are not allowed to operate."
"I know that, but her home is very far away from us. We'll need to walk for an entire day, at least. What's worse is that we have so many bags with us," she countered while looking at their bags in distress. "Why don't we see if we can hail a car?" he suggested.
She sighed.
"There's no way that will work. Everyone is rushing home. No one will stop for us."
"We should try. We won't know unless we do."
He immediately stepped onto the road and held his hands out to hail one of the cars.
Standing in the middle of the road, he took his job very seriously.
However, no matter how harried he looked, the cars kept driving by him.
None of them showed any signs of slowing down.
"It's fine.Let's forget about it since we can't hail anyone. I'll think of another way," she called out.
She looked down, frowning heavily as though she was thinking hard. The lost look on her face made his eyes darken.
"Okay.Keep an eye on our bags. I'll be back soon," he said.
She looked up at him in confusion.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be back soon."
Then, he dashed away, ignoring her questions.
Standing by the road with bags by her feet, she stared down at her phone as time slowly ticked by.
Worry burned through her.
Nowhere was safe these days.
Where did Frank go? The more she thought about it, the more certain she was that he had gone off to do something risky.
Hence, she abandoned the bags and ran toward the direction he had run off in. She had barely taken a few steps when she spotted Frank driving a Maybach over to her. She cried out in surprise, "Where did you replace the car? Did you head back into the building?"
He rolled down the window and waved at her, who was panting hard.
"Leave those questions until after you get in."
She dazedly nodded.
Suddenly, she smacked herself on the head as she suddenly remembered something.
"Shoot! The bags!"
Frank let out an angry but amused huff.
"Where did you leave the bags?"
"Back where you left me."
The guilty look on her face made him sigh before saying in a reassuring tone, "It's fine. Don't worry. I'll go look for them."
She nodded and got into the car.
Thankfully, they found the bags exactly where she left them. He promptly loaded the bags into the car, and they drove off toward the outskirts of the city.
On the way there, he turned on the heater when he saw her shivering.
"Where did you get this car from, Frank?" she asked.
Since the entire area was under lockdown, no car was allowed to leave their parking lots.
Thus, where did the car come from? "Don't worry about that."
Despite his persistent attempts at avoiding the topic, she refused to back down.
Eventually, he helplessly said, "Relax.Nothing actually happened. Don't worry."
"Since nothing happened, why won't you tell me what you did?" She stared at him with blazing eyes.
"It's nothing big.I just..."
"What did you do?"
"I just charged through the barriers."
She abruptly recalled noticing how the car looked rather dented on the front when she first spotted him.
"Do you have a death wish?" she demanded.
His reply had infuriated her. She knew he had always been a bold man, make you sick too!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Mariana.I don't care even if you infect me."
A look of disapproval crossed Mariana's face.
"What nonsense is that, child? This illness is no joke!"
"I know.I..."
"Go back to where you came from," Mariana interrupted.
"Do not come back!"
Those few words left Mariana panting hard and almost unable to keep herself upright.
Raquella's eyes went red when she saw how sick Mariana was.
"Enough. Don't say that. I won't leave."
Frank hurriedly piped up from beside her, "Aunt Mariana, please. We had to go through a lot to get back here. Don't kick us out."
It was only then that Mariana noticed Frank's presence in her home.
Confused, she asked, "This man is..."
As Raquella wiped her tears away before slowly replying, "He's..."
However, Frank hurriedly continued her sentence.
"Hello, Aunt Mariana.I'm Raquella's boyfriend."
