Chapter 53. Love Arrows

Laird’s POV

I waited in front of the temporary detainee waiting room. After completing several document verification processes and paying the bail, I was able to take Alan home. If only I hadn't promised Fenella to meet her at Alan's house, I would have just left him to take a taxi home.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he finally emerged from the door, accompanied by two police officers. Alan might have thanked or said some nonsense to the two officers. I patiently waited for him to finish chatting.

"Here's my best lawyer, Mr. Evans." Alan stretched out his arms sideways with a broad smile.

Was he going to hug me? I snorted as he walked closer and actually attempted to hug me. I stared sharply with an expressionless face, not interested in his feigned familiarity.

"You don't like hugs?" he asked, his hands still raised in the air.

"There is no need for hugs. Come on, let's go to your house," I said, nodding my head towards the exit.
