Mateo casually replied with a “Yeap.”
However, Arianne was in complete shock. She could not help but feel that what Geralt had said was meant for her. ‘How did Mark even think of keeping an eye on every entrance and exit in the airport? If he thought that I was purely being kidnapped, then the kidnappers would either want money or my life. I would definitely not have been taken overseas or to a city that’s far away!’
Arianne suddenly realized why she thought that there was something wrong with Mateo and Geralt. ‘Geralt must have used the return of my earrings as an excuse to leak some information to Mark…’
As Arianne peeked out the car window to look at the expression on Geralt’s face, Mateo suddenly reached out his hand and shut the car window on Arianne’s side. “It’s hot outside, and we’ve got the air conditioner on in here.”
Arianne huddled herself and coldly said, “Stay away from me! My whole being feels sick just by looking at you!”
Mateo’s body unknowingly froze but soon returned to normal.
‘The hatred that Arianne’s showing is inevitable. Although it pains me, I believe that it’s only temporary. Once we leave here, I’ll treat her even better. I believe that feelings for one another can be developed over time, and I believe that I’m not wrong in persisting for this.’
When the car arrived at the urban area, Arianne noticed that she had always been in the Capital, but the location of the villa was slightly secluded.
Coming to this conclusion, she felt saddened. Even though the person she sorely missed was so close to her, she couldn’t meet him.
Mateo’s car window was specially customized, where they would be able to look at the view outside from inside the car, but not the other way around.
When Arianne finally released his hand and cried out emotionally, Mateo tried to console her by saying, “I’m willing to do anything as long as you’re happy. So, forget about him. I can’t lose you…”
Mateo pursed his lips and remained silent; he did not know what he could say at that moment. Clearly, he could not comply with her desperate request. He was horrified by the thought of having to live his life without her, even if she was never his to begin with…
After driving for at least three hours, the car parked at a medium-sized airport. ‘There aren’t any overseas flights in this airport, so it’s obvious that Mateo is only planning to go to another city before flying overseas.
‘The moment my identification documents leave a trace here, Mark is sure to find out about it very soon. And after I arrive in the other city, I’ll be flying overseas directly without any downtime.’
