CHAPTER 42 Stay to Protect Her

  Alfie's POV

  Yesterday, I ran into Lottie at a coffee shop, and her indifference hurt me. After returning home, I drank some alcohol alone, and to my surprise, I woke up close to noon.

  My daily routine was disrupted for the first time, and it made me feel restless. I picked up my phone, wanting to call Lottie, but I didn't know what to say to her. I tried opening my phone several times, but couldn't bring myself to press the dial icon.

  Suddenly, a push notification caught my attention.

  "Latest: Alfie and Lottie have broken up!"

  I had a bad feeling. I immediately clicked on the article. After closing the article, I called Victor.

  "Have the people from Lewis, the ones we caught, been in contact with him?" That was the first reason that came to my mind because those who could potentially leak information about me and Lottie were only involved in that one incident that I didn't personally handle.
