Chapter 795
When she heard the knock at the door, Britney instinctively thought it was Soren again.
Earlier that morning, she barely got home when Soren showed up to pester her. No matter how hard he knocked, she pretended not to hear him
Now she figured it was Soren again.
Gavin knocked on the door for what felt like forever, but no one answered. He pulled out his phone and texted Britney: [Are you home?)
Britney stared at the message on her screen, momentarily stunned.
‘Gavin? Is that Gavin?‘ she whispered to herself. She jumped up to answer the door, forgetting to slip on her shoes.
He stood in his sharp suit when she pulled the door open.
“Gavin, what are you doing here?” Britney kept her eyes down. After all, they’d had that unpleasant fight just last night.
Gavin didn’t answer. His eyes swept over her quickly, checking to ensure she was okay. Only then did he let out a small breath of relief
During those moments when Britney hadn’t answered the door, his mind had raced through all sorts of terrible scenarios, He’d been worried about her
“Come with me.” Gavin took her hand.
Britney looked up at him in surprise. Even though Gavin had pursued her for months, he’d always been a gentleman, never crossing any lines.
When Britney didn’t move, Gavin bent down and swept her in his arms.
“Gavin!” Britney gasped, her hands instinctively gripping his shoulders.
“You can’t stay here anymore,” Gavin said.
Britney remained silent. Soren could show up here anytime to cause trouble–it wasn’t safe. But she still felt unsure about leaving.
Gavin didn’t wait for her to protest. He grabbed her purse and phone from the couch, scooped her up in his arms, and headed downstairs.
“Gavin. Wait, I can’t go with you,” Britney finally said.
Gavin said nothing, his jaw tightening. He kept carrying her down the stairs. Britney wasn’t even wearing shoes.
When they ran into a neighbor downstairs, Britney tried to get down, but Gavin wouldn’t let her go. The neighbor smiled and said, “You two lovebirds are so sweet together.”
—-Britney buried her face in Gavin’s shoulder, embarrassed. Thank goodness it was past seven in the evening–most people were home having dinner.
Otherwise, she would have died of shame.
Gavin’s handsome face showed no expression at all. He carried Britney straight to the back seat of the Rolls–Royce.
“Drive.” Before Britney could settle in properly, Gavin had already given the order.
The driver immediately started the car.
“Gavin, where are you taking me?” Britney asked quickly.
Gavin reached up and loosened his tie. Having held her soft, fragrant body just moments before had stirred something in him, making the tie feel uncomfortably tight around his neck.
“The apartment complex across from your hotel,” he said.

Britney pressed her lips together. She thought, ‘We have no relationship at all. Moving into his place just isn’t right
But Gavin didn’t give her a choice.
The drive was short, and they arrived quickly.
