Second Chances

“Coincidentally, we’ll have school holidays in a few days. I havent seen your rings yet!” Lane added. 

Emma had not thought of that. She blinked her eyes and asked, Do you want to go with me?” 

“Of course I do!” Lane jumped up in excitement. “Every girl has dream wedding! I’m already looking forward to yo 

Seeing her reaction. Emma smiled brightly and said, “Alright, riflet you know then. After we get the ring. I’ll treat yo Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

meal.” 

This was the first time Lane had gone out alone with Froma. 

She was so excited that she started preparing for it days in advance. 

On the day to collect the ring. Liam had repeatedly insisted that he take time off to accompany Emma 

However, Emma said. “You’ve been busy recently, so you don’t need to make a special trip just for this. Besides, I’ve ali arranged to go with Lane. We’ll grab something to eat after collecting the ring and then watch a movie: When I get bar you’ll be almost done with your work, which is perfect, isn’t it?” 

“How can I let you take our rings with someone else? Liam’s voice was calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed. 

“Lane isn’t anyone else!” Emma pouted and poked the tip of Liam’s nose with the tip of his finger. “And the person who accompanied me was my best friend, not a man.” 

Seeing Liam remain silent, she hugged his neck and coaxed, “But the stock market has been in turmoil recently. You’re busy. It’ll take up quite some time.” 

Although they had chosen the ring together, going alone to pick up did feel a bit lonely. 

It would be best if they could go together, but going alone was time for Emma. 

Fortunately, Lane had offered to join her. 

Emma added, “Just focus on your work. There are plenty of other wonderful things we’ll do together in the future,” 

She could sense that Liam’s work was particularly challenging lately. Sometimes, she overheard his calls, and it sounded 1 it was related to Simon. 

Simon would surely catch wind of their wedding plans, which would make things less smooth. 

If she didn’t interfere, Liam could finish dealing with things sooner and it wouldn’t delay the wedding 

Liam still wasn’t convinced. “A wedding happens only once in a lifetime 

“That’s exactly why we should take our time.” Emma said. 

Her 

er gaze was gentle and firm, and her words were filled with determination. 

When he saw the look in her eyes and how resolutely she chose to support him, he couldn’t help but relax his brow and 

He tapped her lightly with his index finger and said, “Just come back early after collecting it, okay?” 

“Okay. Thank you, honey! I love you! Enuma said happily 

Liam pinched her delicate nose. 

There was nothing he could do to her except for pampering her 

Emma and Lane had agreed to set off at 3 pm. that day. 

According to the original plan, Emma would go to pick up Lane. 

Unexpectedly, Lane had learned how to drive a vehicle at Charon Military School when Emma was on leave at home some time ago. 

Lane got out of the army–green SUV and shook the driver’s license in her hand. 

Not only did she now have a license, but she was also one of the top drivers in the entire school. 

They had agreed to meet at 3 pm, but to Emma’s surprise, Lane arrived at Icovine Estate with a rented car by midday 

Emma stared in astonishment, while Lane scratched her head and said confidently. “Emma, this car may seem normal, but it’s quite spacious. And you can trust my driving skills 1001 So, should we leave now or wait a bet?” 

Seeing Lane’s serious expression, Emma could not help but want to try her driving skills. “Let’s go now? 

Lane said, “Okay, let’s gu 

The two girls happily drove out of the gate of kovine Estate 

In the meantime, Liam was watching from behind when the women walked away cheerfully 

For some reason, he felt a little jealous 

Lane drove very stradd 

Emma sat in the front passenger seat able to tell that Lanes strong skills were truly impressive 

Having missed some classes, Emma couldn’t help but tease, “If frayed away for a few more days, would you have learned to fly a plane?” 

Lane smiled embarrassedly “Toriginally wanted to enroll in the pilot program. I passed the physical exams, but my psychological evaluation wasn’t up to par. What a shame 

Seeing her regretful expression, Emma smiled highly and comforted her. “If you like flying. I can teach you next time” 

Lane was so shocked that she nearly slammed on the brakes and sent the two of them flying, “What the heck, Emma? You can fly a plane?” 

Emma quickly grabbed the safety handle, “Lady, focus on driving, don’t get too excited” 

Tm sorry, I’m sorry. Shit, I forgot,” apologized Lane 

Emma thought, “Her psychological resilience was indeed a bit lacking. I almost let it slip that I know how to fly a plane 

The autumn air was refreshing, and the sky was clear 

The road conditions were not bad. The journey from lovine Estate to the mall was not far, so it was not difficult for Lane to 

dive. 

Seeing her serious and focused expression, Emma decided not to disturb her from concentrating on driving, 

She narrowed her eyes and gazed out of the window. The greenmedian strips flew by, and the fresh air dritted in through

the window. 

The rearview mirror reflected her face. She had put on light makeup, and there was an irrepressible smile at the corners of her lips. 

“Lane, Emma said. 

At this moment, Emma noticed a car in the rearview mirror. Het dark eyes narrowed slightly. 

Lane asked, “What’s wrong, Enima?” 

Emma stared at the rearview mirror. Her expression grew serious. “Has anyone been following you recently?” 

Lane was stunned for a moment, completely unprepared for this. “Wh–what… What’s going on? Is someone following us??” 

Emma said in a calm voice, “Third car on the right behind us, license plate 275.” 

Lane saw it 

His fingers that were holding the steering wheel felt a little cold, 

She hadn’t noticed it before. It was an inconspicuous white sedan, blending into the traffic unnoticed. 

Emma had just spotted it while admiring the scenery outside the window. 

She was more sensitive than average people in this aspect and had immediately sensed that the person in that car was glancing in their direction from time to time. 

“Emma, what do we do now?” Lane was a little anxious. 

Emma did not expect that she would be targeted when she did not go out with Liam. 

With a calm expression, she knocked on the door handle with her fingertips and said emotionlessly, “Pull over at the crowded intersection ahead. I’ll drive.” 

Even though she didn’t know the other party’s purpose, there were very few people in the world bold enough to follow her so openly. 

The safest way was to hurry to a crowded place in the mall and inform Liam. 

Emma called Josiah and asked him to find out who the owner of the license plate was. 

Just then, the army–green SUV was suddenly rammed from behind. 

“Boom
