章 304: -Chapter 304-

"Hello?" Lake asked harmlessly like the Omega hadn't been steadily raising his blood pressure all evening.

"Are you on the road?"

"Yes, I'm almost at the mansion."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

"I'll hang up now, I'm driving." Lake said in a hurry, mercilessly doing as he said he would.

Davian stared at his device, walking back to take a seat behind his desk.

He knew that Lake wouldn't accept his offer but it didn't stop him from trying.

He stood up as soon after he sat down, leaving his study to go outside the mansion.

Davian had just spoken to Lake but he felt pulled taut like a string as he waited for the gates to open and for the headlights of Lake's car to blind him.

It was a familiar feeling, one that hurt like an old scar, a dull blade digging into his chest. 

Davian was so distracted by his thoughts that he flinched imperceptibly when headlights blinded him.
