The Replacement He Never Wanted

Chapter 370 Unpredictable Heart

That was terrifying. Those girls could have stared at Lance's face all day without getting tired. But to be fair, Lance did look remarkably similar to Harvey, and she had to admit, both men were undeniably handsome. Thinking about it, Addison couldn't help but turn her head and glare at Lance. It was all his fault. Why did he have to look so much like Harvey? If he didn't, none of this would've happened. Lance looked puzzled, his expression tinged with grievance as he shrugged, clearly clueless about why she was glaring at him. Addison continued to stare at him fiercely, but seeing his slightly confused face, her anger quickly dissipated. In the end, all she could do was heave a long sigh. Meanwhile, outside the car, the girls noticed how urgently Addison had dragged Lance inside. They seemed to understand the situation somewhat. It was obvious—Addison didn't want to share her husband. She didn't want them to keep staring at him.And honestly, who could blame her? If anyone had such a handsome husband, they'd also want to hide him away. Letting them look for as long as she did already made Addison seem like a 'saint.' Satisfied with the photos they had taken, the girls finally dispersed, scrolling through their cameras with excitement. Meeting such an unbelievably attractive man had made their day worthwhile. Inside the car, Addison watched the crowd slowly clear. She let out a long breath of relief only when the last of them walked away. "Get out," she said abruptly. "What?" Lance blinked, clearly caught off guard. "I said, get out," Addison repeated firmly. Lance frowned in disbelief. "Didn't you just pull me into the car a moment ago?" "That was then. Now, I want you out." Her tone was unwavering. Earlier, she had dragged Lance into the car to avoid the girls. Now that they were gone, he had no reason to stay.She certainly didn't want to be stuck in the same space with him for another second. Before Lance could react, he found himself unceremoniously shoved out of the car. As soon as he closed the door, the car sped off like a rocket, leaving behind a cloud of black exhaust. The speed at which she drove away made it clear—Addison couldn't wait to get away from him. Lance was baffled. What was going on? Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago? She had willingly pulled him into the car, and he had even ... His thoughts halted abruptly, and a faint blush crept up his cheeks. Realizing where his mind was headed, he quickly dismissed those dangerous ideas. Regaining his composure, he stood still, staring at the fading car in the distance, confusion evident in his dark eyes. He couldn't figure it out. Just moments ago, Addison had been smiling, but now, she had turned hostile faster than flipping a page. He had heard the saying before—a woman's heart is like the depths of the sea. But he had never believed it.The reason was simple. Virgina had always been transparent with him. Whatever she felt, she showed openly, and he could easily read her emotions with just a glance. But with Addison ... Lance felt completely at a loss. He couldn't understand what Addison was thinking, what she planned to do, or what thoughts she harbored in her heart. Not even a single one. Ruffling his hair in frustration, Lance finally grasped the true meaning behind that old saying. Addison's heart wasn't just the depth of the sea—it was a vast ocean, impossible to see through. Addison parked the car at Daves Residence. As soon as she stopped, she couldn't wait to open the door and rush inside to see Matthew. She was eager to tell him that she was going to Johnston Residence to treat Steven. If she could finalize this matter quickly, she could get Lance to sign the divorce papers sooner. Recalling how Lance had tricked her the last time, she felt more determined than ever. This time, she was confident he wouldn't dare go back on his word. After all, signing the agreement was closely tied to the life and death of Steven. Lance definitely wouldn't take his grandfather's life lightly. If he hesitated again this time, it would mean losing a beloved family member. With that assurance in mind, Addison's mood improved. She felt much lighter as she stepped into the Daves Residence. However, before she had taken more than a few steps, she bumped into Leon, who was walking out. "Hey, Addy? Where have you been?" Leon asked with a smile. Addison rubbed her nose awkwardly. "I had something to take care of." There was no way she could admit she had gone to see Lance. "Where's Grandpa? I need to talk to him." Leon chuckled. "Where else would he be? "He left early this morning for Herbs Valley." "What? Grandpa went to Herbs Valley?" Addison's eyes widened in surprise, and a hint of disappointment appeared on her face.
