Chapter 220
Now that she was clear on the situation, Eliana ended the video call.
“Well, your name is Eli Goodwin, right? I’m sorry that I confused you with someone else just now.”
Eliana’s apology was sincere.
Eli was a little embarrassed by her sudden politeness. “It doesn’t matter. I was rude because I misunderstood why you were following me. What is your name?”
“Eliana Pierce,” Eliana said.
“Miss Pierce, I’m sorry.”
Neither of them knew what to say then.
“Woof woof…”
A dog’s bark suddenly broke the silence.
A puppy ran over from close by.
“Lucky! What are you doing here?”
When Eli had thought the person following him was a stalker fan, he left his puppy in a corner close by for safety. He was surprised when the puppy ran over by itself.
Eli squatted down and stretched out his arms for his dog to run into.
The puppy ran with clear excitement.
Then…
He passed by Eli and went straight to Eliana.
What? He mistook its master?
Eli was stunned when Lucky ignored him and ran to Eliana.
Lucky circled around Eliana, rubbing excitedly against her legs.
“Bowling!”
She squatted down and rubbed its head. She was now 100% sure that it was Bowling.
Eliana picked up Bowling. “Mr. Goodwin, was this dog a stray when you met it?”
Eli had finally come back to his senses after his dog’s betrayal. “Do you have a dog that looks exactly like Lucky?” he asked in disbelief.
“No,” Eliana said quickly.
“Good.” Eli breathed a sigh of relief.
“In fact, I think your Lucky is the dog I lost. I called it Bowling.”
Eli paused for a moment and asked, “What?”
“To tell you the truth, my dog Bowling went missing a few months ago. And before he went missing, he swallowed my ring.”
The ring…
Eli touched his necklace subconsciously, thinking that the ring Eliana spoke of might be around his neck at that very moment.
Three months ago, Eli found a puppy by the roadside and took him home out of kindness. A few days later, when he was cleaning the doghouse, he was surprised to find a ruby ring in his new dog’s poop.
Then, something magical happened. Before he rescued the puppy, he was nobody. After, he became famous overnight. He got many opportunities to perform and became a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
Because of this, he saw the dog and the ring as his good luck charms. He named the dog Lucky and took the ring with him wherever he went.
Now this strange woman was telling him the dog and the ring were hers and she wanted them back. He couldn’t go along with this.
“I’m sorry, Miss Pierce. You must be mistaken. I bought Lucky myself. I don’t know anything about the ring you mentioned either.”
After hesitating for a moment, Eli chose to lie.
Eliana didn’t suspect Eli was being untruthful. She was disappointed by what he said.
“It’s just a misunderstanding. I’m leaving with Lucky.”
Eli picked up the barking dog and turned away.
Before he took more than a few steps, he heard someone shouting.
“Look! That’s Eli Goodwin!”
“Go after him!”
Paparazzi and fans rushed towards him like a pack of dogs on the hunt.
“Damn it!”
Eli ran back to Eliana. He grabbed her arm with one hand, while the other still held the dog.
“Run!”
Eliana followed the command without thinking.
“What’s happening?”
“Look behind us!”
Confused, Eliana looked back and gasped.
Gosh! Those people were chasing after them like zombies!
“It’s all your fault. They found me because you were talking to me in public! If they get photos of us and claim that we are lovers, I will have to pay my company for the loss! Would you compensate me for that?”
Compensate?
That was the word she hated most in the world!
She would never pay for him!
Eli had hardly finished speaking when Eliana quickened her pace and passed him.
“Run! Come on!” She looked back and glared at Eli.
Eli was stunned.
This woman was so horrible!
