Chandra suddenly sighed deeply.

"Alright. Call someone to clean this up," she said, turning to sit down on the chair. As she did, she noticed something on the floor next to the broken table.

She bent down to pick it up and discovered it was a small charm, probably from Rosalie's bag.

Justin drove Rosalie back home.

Rosalie didn't get out of the car, but instead turned to him and said, "Justin, you should leave."

"What?" Justin furrowed his brow. Just as he was about to ask why, he suddenly recalled something and could guess the reason for her request.

"The conflict today was too dangerous. I'm worried the police might come after you. You should leave for a while and lay low," she explained.

"If I leave, what will happen to you?" Justin asked, his concern clear in his voice.

"I'll take care of myself. You don't need to worry. Just leave quickly and take the car with you."

"Rose, I can't leave you alone. What if something happens to you?"

"If you leave, I won't have any problems. Please trust me. We had a close call today. You should hide for now. You can come back once things calm down."

Rosalie opened the glove compartment and handed him a gun. "This is from those two bodyguards. Either dispose of it or keep it for self-defense. Just protect yourself. Don't worry about me I'll take care of myself."

Justin knew the situation today was serious, but he couldn't shake his worry. "Why don't you and Steve come with me?"

He could take them to a remote place where no one could find them, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized it was pointless. Rosalie would never leave.

Rosalie paused for a moment, then said, "Justin, I know you're worried about me, but I'll be fine. I'm more concerned about them targeting you. It would make things harder for you if we came with you, so please leave. Don't make me worry." Justin didn't want to drag her into this either. "Alright, I'll listen to you. If anything happens, you must call me. I'll come back immediately."

He didn't want her to worry, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Good. You need to protect yourself, and only return once I'm sure everything's fine," Rosalie said.

"I won't drive this car," Justin said. "I have my own car, parked in a nearby lot."

With that, he opened the car door and got out. He went around to the backseat, opened the door, and gently ruffled Steve's head. "Steve, I'm leaving for now, but we'll see each other again soon."

Steve cooed and extended his hands. Justin held his tiny hand gently, kissed it, and closed the door before walking away. "Justin," Rosalie called out as she hurried after him.

Justin turned. "Is there something else?"

Rosalie opened her bag and pulled out all the cash inside, handing it to him. "Take this. Do you have a bank account in Blencalgo? I can transfer money to you. If not, I have acredit card. You can use this."

She handed him a card from her bag and gave it to him without thinking. She couldn't bear to see him go.

A surge of emotion welled up in Justin's chest as he took her hands in his. "I don't need money. Don't worry about me."

He kissed her hands. Rosalie's eyes reddened.

"Don't cry," Justin said softly, wiping away a tear from her eye.

But as soon as he spoke, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Justin panicked and pulled her into his embrace Seeing that she didn't push him away, he held her even

tighter. He closed his eyes, savoring he

her warmth. After a long time, reluctantly leaned back. He cupped her face, gently pressing his forehead to hers. They were very close.

Rosalie felt nervous, but her body seemed to be frozen.

"Rosalie," Justin asked hoarsely, "Do you... Do you like me, even just a little bit?"

His breath was soft against her ear, and Rosalie felt her legs weaken.

"You should leave. I'm afraid they'll come for you."

Even at this moment, he was asking her these questions. She couldn't answer him. "Rose, can I kiss you?" He was losing control.

Rosalie's lips trembled slightly, and she looked up at him. Their breaths mingled, growing heavier. Seeing that she didn't reject him, Justin lowered his head to kiss her

At that moment, an angry voice sounded.

"Let go of her!"

They turned toward the voice and saw Theodore, who had somehow arrived. He charged toward them, pulled Rosalie behind him, and then punched Justin!
