just the day before yesterday, he received a major dressing down from his boss for filtering Larys Miller’s calls
three years ago.
Norris knew better than to point out that Mr Cavanaugh was the one who ordered him to do so
As the boss’s most trusted assistant, he knew that being made a scapegoat was part of his job description
The driver nudged Norris again when the car was about to pass the junction–they needed to know which way
to turn.
Norris turned his head from the front passenger seat and braced himself. Boss, are we dropping Miss Fischer off at her hotel first or heading back to the office?”
Regina spoke up in a hurry before Micah could answer, I want to visit your parents first, Micah I haven’t seen Judy and your father for a long time. And Felicia. I brought presents for every one of them. They are in my suitcase.‘
Micah did not bother looking up.
He spoke directly to the driver, ‘Bryant, go to Canninghill.”
‘Yes, boss.
Regina looked confused. ‘But my hotel’s not at Canninghill Nor’s yours.‘
Her eyes lit up when she thought of something ‘Did you buy another apartment?”

What she really wanted to ask was: did you buy another apartment for me?
Micah raised his head and looked at her, but it wasn’t a look Regina felt comfortable with.
His eyes were cold, disapproving, even suspicious. ‘You don’t know what’s at Canninghill?‘
‘Um, I’m not sure.‘ Regina picked her words carefully, sensing she might have made a mistake. ‘I’ve been away from Hagen for several months. Did they build another hotel there?‘
Canninghill was a well–known shopping district not far from downtown.
Tourists flocked there every summer for retail therapy.
‘Lucian’s parents live there,‘ Micah said slowly.
Regina blanched.
She grabbed the strap of her handbag. ‘I…Sorry, I didn’t know…‘
‘You said Lucian was the love of your life,‘ Micah reminded her in a monotone. ‘You said he felt the same way about you. How could you not know where his parents live?‘
‘I do! It just skipped my mind, that’s all.‘ Regina stared at the floor.
‘Then you should know the anniversary of his death is coming up.‘ Micah was relentless. ‘Isn’t that why you claimed you had to come back? Did that skip your mind as well?‘
‘It didn’t!‘ Regina hastened to explain. ‘I did come back for him. I miss him terribly. It’s just that…‘
She touched her forehead. ‘I think I’m still airsick. I don’t feel so well.‘
Micah frowned.
He took another look at her face.
She did look paler than usual.
He decided to drop the subject for now. ‘Bryant, slow down.‘
For the rest of the ride, no one spoke again.
Regina’s reaction just now had left Micah dissatisfied and sceptical.
For years, she had proclaimed her love and devotion for Lucian.
After his death, she never dated again.
The simple mention of his name was enough to draw tears from her.
Lucian saved Micah’s life.
He was forever indebted to Lucian for it, and vowed to take good care of the woman his army buddy loved.
But the way Regina acted was making Micah increasingly doubtful–did she really love Lucian?
He knew she was leading him on, dropping flirtatious hints at every possible opportunity, but he ignored them because he would never betray Lucian.

Chapter 16 Devotion Of Game
He had hoped the three months spent abroad would be enough for her to come to grips with reality.
Micah would protect Regins to the best of his ability, but he would not love her.
But now it seemed that Regina had not gotten that message, or even if she did, she was pretending to not
understand it.
Micah thought back to the forged medical records and the many times hemade Darya donate blood to Regina
He had to admit he’d made a serious error in judgement when it came to Regina.
