When Love Turns Dangerous novel Chapter 142

Tara was helpless in the face of both Shawn's and Lance's stubbornness. She quickly pulled Soren away from the corridor.

She couldn't stop either of them, so the only thing she could do was drag Soren away to de-escalate the situation before it got out of hand.

Soren wanted nothing more than to beat them both up, but Tara pulled him away just in time, preventing the situation from spiraling further into chaos.

Shawn wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he watched them leave. He then bent down to pick up his cracked gold-rimmed glasses and slowly put them back on. As disheveled as he looked, he still managed to maintain an air of composure about him.

Lance stopped before him and studied him briefly before asking, "What's your relationship with Tara?"

Shawn curled his lips into a smirk, the crack in the lens veiled the strange glint in his eyes.

"Oh, she and I are very close."

Lance's expression remained cold as he considered the timeline between Shawn and Tara. He then glanced toward the two disappearing figures at the end of the corridor.

From what he had just observed, he had a good grasp of Tara's personality, and he was also very familiar with Shawn's nature.

Shawn might be outwardly courteous like a gentleman, but deep beneath, he was actually morally corrupt. If he really liked Tara, he wouldn't hesitate to steal her away from even his best friend.

But since everyone had lost their memories, his guess was just that—a guess. Only Tara knew the whole truth.

Lance said nothing, his handsome face calm as he walked past Shawn and left the second floor.

Shawn watched his retreating figure and chuckled lightly. Whether he remembered didn't matter, as his feelings told him he couldn't tolerate seeing Tara in another man's arms. He possessed both the time and patience to make her his.

In the open-air parking lot, Soren carried Tara into the car without lingering any longer at the banquet.

Tara looked at his gloomy face and knew how difficult this had been for him. She caressed his cheek.

Soren kissed her hand and held her tighter. "I'm fine," he said in a low voice.

She didn't know what to say to comfort him. Both the men she had been involved with were his trusted friends. Anyone else in his place would have minded too.

Tara opened her mouth to speak but hesitated again.

Soren knew what she was thinking, so he softly reassured her, "I know them. They're not good people."

She was stunned. She didn't expect him to trust her so much.

The next moment, he pulled her into his arms. Tara snapped out of it, only to hear him say hoarsely, "Given how sensitive you are, you won't be able to resist their temptation."

She had heard this line before. The first time was when he had helped her out of a tight spot. But now, she wasn't sure if she should be embarrassed or angry.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Soren was deeply jealous, but he dropped the subject for fear of upsetting her.

His dark gaze landed on her. "You look beautiful today."

Tara didn't expect his expression to shift from stormy to lustful so quickly. She tried to move away from his arms, but he had her in an ironclad grip. He refused to let her sit separately.

"Just now—mmph!"
