#Chapter17 PRIVACY
I slowly nodded at him. I’m ready to hear whatever explanation he’s going to give.
/"Thank you, Emily. Let’s sit down./" he smiled and motioned his hands towards the bed. I sat next to him, staying silent.
/"Those two who kidnapped you are my friends. Dylan and Jacob. I know Patrick would do anything to harm you so he could make me angry. That’s why my friends have been watching you since you stepped foot in the store. I called you many times to tell you not to leave the house. Indeed, you avoided my call./"
/"I’m sorry, Ryder. I wasn’t in a good mood to talk,/" I said, regretting the moment.
/"I know, sweetheart. I’m not blaming you. I told my friends to act as Patrick’s friend and kidnap you here instead of taking you to his place. They almost did their work, but failed to harm you. I should have come for your rescue./" he frowned and kept his hands on my cheek. That’s where his friend slapped me so hard.
