Waylen stared at Leilani, saying, “Now, you know how dangerous it is. How dare you! Here is the Presidential palace. You shouldn’t be here. Besides, I will give a reasonable explanation. Could you please live with me again?”
“You haven’t explained it to me. I want to get pure love, and you can’t give me. Therefore, it’d be better to finish our relationship now.”
Leilani knew Waylen’s explanations couldn’t persuade her. She couldn’t accept any excuses. The fact was that Waylen got married to a woman that he didn’t love because of Diana. Probably, Waylen would do anything for Diana in the future.
Besides, Rebecca was so eager to have Waylen. Leilani felt really tired of maintaining a close relationship with him. Waylen was attractive. Many women came to curry favor with him, but Leilani didn’t want to be one of them.
Now, safety was the first thing that Leilani needed to ensure.
At this time, Rebecca was closer to them. She had seen Waylen.
Rebecca was walking toward Waylen. It was dark, and she couldn’t see clearly. Therefore, she tried to ask, “Waylen? Is it you? Why do you keep silent?”
When Rebecca was passing through the garden, Leilani’s heart started to beat fast. She couldn’t even control her breath and tried to be careful.
Waylen put down his hand, which covered Leilani’s lips and then whispered to her, “Get out of here as soon as possible. Don’t take risks.”
Then, Waylen turned to kiss her slightly and said sadly, “I need time to deal with it. Trust me.”
Leilani turned to another side. She would have said that she didn’t have time to wait for him, but Rebecca was moving forward to them, so she said nothing.
“Promise me to get out of here. Good girl.”
Leilani knew since Logan Arlington wasn’t here, the presidential palace was a dangerous place, and the situation became more and more complicated now Except Mr. Bamford, many officials wanted to get power when Logan wasn’t there. Besides, the adopted child of Logan also came here to seize power.
Leilani knew she shouldn’t take risks in this situation.
Leilani looked down and put Waylen’s hands aside. Suddenly, she pushed him hard.
“I don’t know whether you really care about me. Probably you are just worried that I would be the barrier between you and Diana. But even if you do care about me, It means nothing for me.”
“For his own businesses, he could even abandon his wife. So do I,” Leilani said to herself.
Waylen didn’t expect that Leilani would push him away. When he just loosened his hands, Leilani pushed him. So, Waylen couldn’t stand stable and took a half step back. When Waylen looked at Leilani, he could only see her from behind. She was standing behind a tree.
It was a big tree with a thick trunk. The tree could cover two people whose figure was like Leilani.
Leilani’s belly wasn’t conspicuous though she was pregnant.
Soon…
The sound of footsteps was clear. Waylen turned around with a stern look.
“Waylen…”
Rebecca named Waylen in a low voice.
Rebecca was sure that someone was standing under the tree. But she couldn’t see clearly and didn’t know who it was because of the dim light.
“What’s wrong?” Waylen asked coldly.
Hearing Waylen said something to her, Rebecca walked to Waylen joyfully and swiftly.
“Waylen, is it you? I had called your name many times, but you didn’t answer me.”
“Shall I answer you?”
“No, you don’t have to. But as the leader, we should be here today. You had left for a long time, and the party was going to begin soon. Therefore I had been looking for you.
Rebecca had a good temper. Although Waylen was cold, she could endure it. She always talked with Lace sweetly and intimately. A woman like Rebecca must be welcomed by most men. Unfortunately, for Waylen, it doesn’t work.
Rebecca walked to Waylen. She intimately held his arms and gave a glance to the back, asking, “It is dark now. Why are you here? I heard someone was talking. Am I wrong?”
Leilani was close to the trunk.
Then she heard Rebecca was walking to the tree, saying with a smile, “What such a big tree. A man can hide behind the tree.”
Waylen put his hands in the pockets and didn’t stop her.
He just said casually, “If you don’t leave, I will go first.”
Rebecca was also afraid of the dark. So, she quickly followed Waylen.
At this time, a bell in the bell tower rang, and the sound echoed at night.
Waylen walked with a big step. When Rebecca trotted, she just kept up with him.
When the sound of footsteps gradually faded, Leilani looked at Waylen and Rebecca from the back of the tree.
Two of them closed to each other, walking under the light.
Leilani came out from the tree until she couldn’t see them.
Then Robert came to Leilani and said to her, “Mrs. Bamford, Mr. Bamford asked me to send you back.”
“You made a mistake!” Leilani was anxious.
“Now, the situation is a bit complicated. Mr. Bamford wishes Mrs. Bamford can stay in a safe place,” Robert explained patiently.
“You told him to take care of himself and leave me alone.”
“I heard from Mr. Bamford that Mrs. Bamford wanted to find Miss. Clifford. I would like to help you. In my opinion, you should leave here first.”
“Get away from me,” Leilani warned.
Since Leilani was very anxious, she couldn’t stop shouting and attracted many pedestrians coming here.
“Who is it?”
When Robert heard voices, he was serious and tried to be silent.
Leilani turned around, finding a few people were close to them. They wore dresses and masks, looking at Leilani and Robert. You could only see their eyes.
Leilani was secretly looking at them too. There were two men and one woman standing in the first front, and about four men followed.
Leilani guessed they were guests who were invited to the party.
“The party is coming. Why are you here?” One of the guests asked.
Leilani looked around and found there was no one standing around them.
Leilani observed that security regulation was more strict than before. If there was something wrong, someone was sent here to have an investigation.
Leilani didn’t know who they were. If they are guests, they don’t have to check her.
Suddenly, Leilani heard Rebecca’s voice from her back. She was saying, “Brother, you are here. I had been trying to look for you.”
Now Leilani knew who the man was. The man who wore a silver fox mask was Logan’s adopted child, the brother of Rebecca.
Leilani glanced at the woman who was standing beside the man. “Is it Jessica?” Leilani thought to herself.
They didn’t recognize each other immediately because they all wore masks, and they weren’t familiar with each other.
Even if it was Jessica, Leilani chose to wait for an excellent opportunity.
Two of them turned to look at Waylen and Rebecca. Rebecca held Waylen with her arms walking toward them.
“Light up the street lights now,” the man told a servant.
“Yes, Sir,” the servant immediately passed the information down. Instantly, the lights on both sides of the road were lit.
Just like stars at night, the warm light made the whole presidential palace bright.
All the guests were amazed at the scene and couldn’t stop exclaiming, “Wow! How beautiful it is.”
