Chapter 62 - Like a Tigress… (2/2)
”Sure. Let me take you there.” Alonzo told as both of them headed to there.

Outside the hotel..
The whole Brown family stood near the carpark area to bid goodbye to the four most powerful families of Country K.
As they were approaching to their estimated cars, Reuben saw Veronica to go with her parents and suddenly the thought of staying without her for a whole night struck into his mind and his face soured.
He exactly knew that if Veronica once stepped in her father's car, then her parents would not allow her to go back to their loving bungalow, which will be a big torment for him.
As he already stayed very long without her before, so now even a single night without her is like the biggest torture for him. He really couldn't sleep without embracing her and feeling the softness of her body in his arms.
He started to think different types of ideas to let her not stay away from him and finally his brilliant brain got an amazing idea...
He then whispered something in Henry's ears and when Henry denied his words, he then mumbled in a low voice, ”Bro. Help me this time. I promise I will arrange a date for you with Lucinda at my hotel without any disturbance.”
Henry smirked at this awesome proposal and finally agreed to help him before whispering, ”You promised it yourself. Don't forget it later.”
Reuben vigorously nodded his head and said, ”Promise.. 100%..”
When Veronica was about to enter her father's car, Henry said, ”Reuben, why don't you drop Veronica on your way home? Both of your place are in the same way whereas the Lopez Mansion is on the exact opposite direction. It'll be a big trouble for Uncle Lopez to drop Veronica at her place and then again going back.”
Father Lopez tried to dodge it, ”But I've thought to keep Vero in our mansion today. She haven't stayed there for two weeks.”
Veronica stopped entering the car and raised her eyebrows towards Reuben and saw the pitiful expression on his face. She wanted to laugh hard there but hold on the urge to do so.
Father Smith who was gazing at Reuben, guessed something naughty and immediately helped Reuben, ”Come on James. Your daughter has grown up. She must have some office work left in her home. So don't pressure her. So Reuben drop her off before you go home. Will you?”
”Why me? Are you telling me that I'm a chauffeur of her that I've to drive her home?” He mocked her in pretense.
”If you don't want then it's okay. I'll go with my parents.” Veronica counter attacked.
Reuben's eyes widened but he tried to stay calm, ”Don't overreact. Come, I'll help you for this once. Humph.!” And hold the passenger door for Veronica to get inside.
Their friends just rolled their eyes at their overacting, cause they already knew what this couple would exactly do after going back and also boarded their own cars.
After everyone left, Alonzo looked at Reuben's departing car and murmured to himself, ”Today I let you go easily, my dear Veronica. But now that I'm here, you will not have a peaceful life anymore.” And smiled evilly.
