Alpha's Regret: False Mate True Luna novel Chapter 184

“I’m going out for a walk.” My voice was hoarse, my throat tight. After saying this, I didn’t care whether he agreed or

not and left the office directly.

The air outside the company was cool. For some reason, I always felt like some gaze was watching me.

I looked back – there was clearly no one in the company, even the corridors were eerily quiet.

When I walked out of the office building, the sky had already turned overcast, with fine rain quietly falling, like emotions that didn’t want to be noticed, silently soaking the clothes on my body.

I didn’t carry an umbrella, just walked aimlessly outward along the street.

My heart felt empty, as if being gradually washed clean by the rain.

Just then, I didn’t notice that a low–key black car was slowly following behind me, as if protecting me, yet seeming to hesitate about something.

The person in the car kept watching me, eyes full of concern.

“Stop the car,” he said quietly.

“Yes.”

The car stopped steadily beside me.

Then I saw a familiar figure get out – it was Adrian.

He held a black umbrella, walking quickly toward me, raindrops hitting the umbrella with crisp sounds.

I turned to look at him. His gentle face appeared even more profound in the rain.

He handed me a coat: “Put this on, you’re soaked through.”

I took it and draped it over myself, saying softly: “Thank you”

I instinctively shook my head: “Ferris has people following me… If we’re photographed, he’ll definitely get angry.”

Saying this, I felt embarrassed myself.

I was like a trapped person, needing to watch another person’s mood even to have dinner with a friend.

After hearing this, Adrian’s throat moved slightly. For some reason, at that moment there was more bitterness in his

eyes.

“Don’t you trust me?” he suddenly asked.

I was stunned and looked up at him.

His voice lowered: “I’m not afraid of Ferris. Your plan is almost complete now, we can go back. You don’t need to live according to his moods anymore.”

I opened my mouth but couldn’t immediately respond.

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Adrian, nor that I thought he was inferior to Ferris.

I had caused him too much trouble and really didn’t want him to get caught up in any more turmoil because of me.

Adrian saw my silence and seemed to understand something.

He had always known my personality.

No matter how difficult things got, I never asked for help proactively.

Even when I was almost harassed by some drunk men as a child, I called the police myself and didn’t tell anyone.
