Chapter 125
The very same luxury car came to a sudden stop. The next moment, a man came out of the back seat and started running toward Lorraine.
The other cars following the luxury car also came to a halt. The bodyguards did not know what was happening just yet, but they instinctively chased after their benefactor. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Passersby soon witnessed a group of well–dressed men sprinting across the street as if chasing after a runaway thief.
The man leading the charge soon approached his target and grabbed her by the wrist.
Lorraine was caught off guard by the large hand grabbing onto her wrist. She instinctively started kicking at the man.
Despite being so severely shortsighted that she could not even recognize her loved ones in front of her without her glasses, she was still skilled enough to defend herself. After all, Lorraine had to have some strength in her from always climbing up trees.
However, the man easily dodged her kick and anxiously exclaimed, “Carol, it’s me, Benjamin!”
Lorraine took a closer look at the man holding onto her wrist. She blinked, wondering why all the men she had been encountering recently were tall and handsome.
Her newfound husband whom she got into a flash marriage to was extremely handsome, and Sonia’s boss was also rather attractive. And now, the stranger grabbing her by the wrist was also strikingly handsome.
Benjamin held onto Lorraine’s wrist tightly as if he were afraid that she would disappear the moment he let go of his grip. “Carol.”
Lorraine frowned and replied, “I think you got the wrong person, sir. Please let go of me, or I’ll have to resort to force.”
Benjamin stared at Lorraine’s face intensely as he gradually loosened his grip.
He started to wonder if he had actually gotten the wrong person as he realized that her facial features were different from the person he was looking for. It was just that Lorraine’s figure and demeanor were extremely similar to that of Carol’s.
Lorraine continued, “You got the wrong person, sir. I’m not Carol! My name’s Lorraine Somner. Do you need me to show you my ID?”
Lorraine Somner?
Benjamin was utterly confused as he believed that the woman before him was Carol in disguise.
He knew that Carol was proficient at makeup and was capable of transforming even the plainest– looking individual into a beauty. Carol’s skill in makeup and creating disguises
had earned her the nickname of Thousand Faces.
Benjamin would often be fooled by Carol’s disguises. He could only attempt to recognize her from her figure and outward demeanor.
He was still extremely confused as he took a closer look at Lorraine before gradually releasing his grip.
Benjamin realized that he might have actually made a mistake as Lorraine’s tone was different from that of Carol’s. But he still could not believe that someone else in the world had such a similar figure and demeanor to Carol.
Benjamin slowly let go of her hand.
Lorraine then asked, “Do you still need me to show you my ID, sir?”
Benjamin slowly shook his head as his prior good mood evaporated into thin air. “I’m sorry about what happened. I mistook you for someone named Carol.”
He sincerely apologized to Lorraine for the mistake, who had a remarkably similar face to Carol.
It was his arrogance and stubborn behavior that caused him to lose Carol back then.
A decade had passed since.
Benjamin regretted his mistakes as much as he missed Carol, so much that it was enough to drive him mad.
