Chapter 628 She's Quite Special
After everyone had left, Lloyd suddenly felt deflated. Over the years, Moonlight Gate had been all show and no substance, and he himself was not what he used to be.
If something happened to Moonlight Game, many people would take the chance to destroy it, as it had too many enemies.
.Seated on the sofa, Lloyd glanced down to see Warmie crawling on the soft mat, already by his feet.
This was the first time Lloyd had seen Warmie crawl.
"Warmie, you can crawl now." Lloyd was suddenly happy, feeling both surprised and delighted.
With a face full of kindness, Lloyd praised, "Warmie, you're amazing."
Warmie sat on the floor, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing. Her shy expression instantly dispelled the anger in Lloyd's heart.
Lloyd reached out to touch Warmie's chubby little face and said, "Warmie, I'm in trouble. Many police officers will come to arrest me. But I don't want to leave you. I want to watch you grow up. You're so adorable. I like you."
Warmie babbled, not understanding what Lloyd was saying, but she responded as if she were really answering him.
Lloyd felt a sense of healing. He picked Warmie up and said, "I'll take you to a place where no one can find us. I'll tell you a secret. I have a lot of money, and it will all be yours. You'll become the happiest girl in the world."
As he spoke, Lloyd remembered the gold locket he had made for Warmie. He took it out of the box and gave it to her.
Warmie loved golden and shiny things. She grabbed the gold locket with her tiny hands and smiled.
Seeing Warmie happy, Lloyd was also pleased.
When Lloyd chose this path, he had made all sorts of plans.
If something went wrong, Lloyd would always have a way to escape.
Playing with Warmie, Lloyd's worries disappeared, but Finnegan, who lived downstairs, was very anxious.
Thinking that Warmie was just upstairs with Lloyd, Finnegan couldn't calm down.
He had been tracking them for so long and still couldn't find an opportunity to act. Lloyd always kept Warmie close, never leaving her side.
No one knew Finnegan's frustration.
Fortunately, Lloyd didn't mistreat Warmie, which was the only thing that comforted Finnegan.
In Yorkhaven,Caspian had been inquiring about Tate's whereabouts. Ophelia knew what was on Caspian's mind. After returning from the police station, she called Caspian and told him about Tate turning herself in.
Caspian's heart tightened for a moment, but it was fleeting. He didn't dwell on the feeling and asked, "How many years will Tate be sentenced to?"
"That's unclear," Ophelia said. "Prepare yourself mentally. It should be at least ten years."
"Ten years? Then her best years will be spent in prison?" Caspian said anxiously, "I'll hire the best lawyer for her. Maybe there's a chance. Niamh harmed so many people and got only a few years. This isn't fair to Tate."
Ophelia directly asked, "Caspian, do you like Tate?"
The question stunned Caspian, who had never thought about it.
When Ophelia asked, Caspian subconsciously recalled his interactions with Tate. They hadn't spent much time together, but he remembered every moment clearly.
Tate's initial impression on him was aloof, seemingly impervious to pain.
When he first found Tate injured in the alley, her wounds were so deep, yet she didn't make a sound. Other girls would cry even over a scratch, but Tate seemed to feel no pain.
Later, he found the amnesiac Tate in the greenbelt, which was their first "intimate" contact. It was the first time someone said he was weak and incompetent in sex.
When he knew Tate was in danger, he was very worried, eager to to know her whereabouts.
Caspian scratched his head and said to Ophelia on the phone, "I don't know. I just feel she's different from other girls."
