A Night of Desire

Chapter 627: Chapter 624: She Cannot Let Her Be in Danger

She might have been able to overlook the transactional nature of their relationship, all because she loved him.

But after she left, Linden Jennings found another woman. He even brought her back to the home he had once promised only she would ever enter. Her heart had died then and there.

’Perhaps she really meant nothing to him?’

’What could she be to him? Just a pawn in a transaction!’

’He paid the money, and she sold herself!’

That was why her leaving had no effect on him. Once she was gone, he could just find another woman.

"Poppy, Brother Jennings really..." Clara, not ready to give up, wanted to explain, but Poppy Vance cut her off.

"Clara, please, I’m begging you, don’t mention him again. I really don’t want to hear about him right now. You know I’m pregnant, and a pregnant woman needs to be in a good mood for the baby’s sake. So, if you really care about me, let’s talk about something happy."

Clara Grant took Poppy Vance’s hand and sighed in resignation. "Alright, we won’t talk about unhappy things. We haven’t seen each other in so long. Let’s just have a nice chat."

...

After chatting with Poppy Vance for a long time, it was time for Clara Grant to leave. Before she left, she repeatedly reminded Poppy to take good care of herself and to call her if she needed anything.

Only after Poppy Vance promised she would definitely call her for help if anything came up did a reluctant Clara Grant finally go downstairs.

Sitting in the taxi, Clara Grant was so worried about Poppy Vance that the troubled look on her face seemed permanently fixed.

’She didn’t know if she should tell Linden Jennings about Poppy Vance’s pregnancy. If she told him, Poppy might run even farther away, hiding so completely that even Clara herself wouldn’t be able to find her. She was terrified!’

’But if she didn’t tell him, she couldn’t bear the thought of Poppy living in a place like that and enduring such a hard life, all alone and pregnant.’

’At this moment, Clara Grant truly didn’t know what she could do that would actually be best for Poppy Vance.’

Her deeply troubled expression seemed to have caught the taxi driver’s attention.

He glanced at her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss, do you live around here?"

Clara Grant paused, pulled from her thoughts, and replied, "Oh, no. I was visiting a friend."

"Oh," the driver said, nodding knowingly. "Is your friend a man or a woman?"

Although Clara Grant didn’t understand why he was asking, she still answered, "A woman."

"Seeing how worried you look, has something happened to your friend? Judging by your age, she must be a young woman too, right?

Let me tell you, this area is a real trouble spot. It’s full of bad people. Break-ins and muggings happen all the time.

I drive a taxi, so I come through here occasionally. I hear things when I pick up passengers from this neighborhood. Not too long ago, there was a break-in and murder right in the building you just came out of.

The victim was a young woman. They say a burglar broke in to steal things and she happened to see him. To stop her from calling the police, the burglar killed her.

So, it’s really not safe to live here, especially for a young woman. It’s dangerous."

The driver’s words made Clara Grant’s blood run cold. ’Poppy isn’t just a young woman—she’s pregnant! If something were to happen... that would be two lives lost!’

’No, absolutely not. She couldn’t let Poppy be in that kind of danger.’
