MISTAKE 219
Chapter 219: GOING TO SAVE SOMEONE
Harry may have thought he was not seen, but Mark, who was returning from the toilet, saw him. He glanced at the tent Harry had come out of with a raised brow and guessed it was Lydia's tent.
By the time Lydia woke up, Harry was long gone, which she appreciated. She took her toiletries and a change of clothes and went to the bathroom.
The rest of the trip was uneventful. When Lydia's mouth sparked fires, her professor would give her a task to keep herself and her friends busy. She did not have much interaction with Harry throughout the rest of the camping trip; she had almost thought that the gods of drama and chaos had forgotten her, but she was soon to be proven wrong, as the most dramatic day of Lydia's life came like a storm.
Harry was kept busy on this trip by his professor; she would not let him go, dragging him along to different places to carry out different activities. Ethan and Mark managed to escape a few times but were not lucky all the time. It became clear that Lydia had guessed right. Apparently, the business graduate class has been covering their course work quite quickly, with a majority of them barely moving around. Before the trip, they had just concluded a long project that needed them to go out and do some fact-finding, but most of them easily got the * information needed without stepping out of their hostels and decided to stay indoors for the rest of the time. If the business graduate class were like this, there would be barely anything to say about the computer science graduate class. Their entire workload was done sitting down. They did not need to move or go anywhere; some of them preferred to listen to their lectures online and not even step out. When their professors heard that the Business Management graduate class had applied to tag along, they quickly signed up their students too. So, like Lydia had guessed, it was a vacation that might as well be punishment for some.
Harry had received a call from a private detective he had hired, and he was soon told that the couple he was following were in the same city as himself. When he got the address, his heart sank. It seems he was right.
"What is it?" Mark asked when he saw his dark face.
"It seems you were right," Harry said, and Mark sighed.
"I had hoped I wasn't. But it is good that we rented the house next to them. That way, we can collect as much evidence as we need. But how will you tell your aunt?" Mark asked, and Harry went silent. Ethan, who was usually full of words, kept silent at this moment.
“Since he dared cheat on my aunt, he should be ready for the consequences. "We will take some leave and go to the house soon," he said, and they all agreed. They soon left the hotel that the school had arranged and headed to the house they had reserved for the night.

But on getting there, they were met with an unusual scene. A scene Lydia had been dragged
into.
It was a few days after their camping trip and the last day of their trip. They had only spent two days in camp before moving into a hotel in town. Lydia had even made a comment about the university saving money on hotel bills for two days by having them sleep in a bush, but her friends dragged her away before the professors could respond.
The rest of the trip was spent between group activities for the different art departments. Then there was some personal time, which Lyda spent painting, therefore having no time for
anyone.
They had stayed at the hotel for a half day without incident, as they were all separated into rooms and Lydia only saw her friends. But all good things have an end. She had left the room and gone into town. She had spent a few hours buying random things and looking around until she spotted a familiar face in town. It was Lydia, the accounting student. She was with some friends walking past her. Lydia felt uncomfortable for some reason until she heard their discussion.
"Which house did they say Harry rented again? Does your cousin know?" Lydia asked.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Emerson Estate, no. 15. I confirmed it several times," one of her friends answered.
"Good, I will pass the address to James." Lydia answered. Lydia, hearing them talk, felt odd./ She may not have known Harry well, but she felt he would not like Lydia. Besides, if he really is renting a house today, it may not have anything to do with Lydia. She told herself it was not her business, and she continued shopping. But as time flew by, the more uncomfortable she became. She felt she should at least tell Harry what was about to happen. She had spent her entire life avoiding drama; would she just walk into one? No, she was just going there to take Harry out before he got embarrassed. She knew that if these girls decided he had rented that place for Lydia, there was no way Harry would be able to defend himself. Her plan was to get there and get him out before whatever they were planning took place.
Making up her mind, she took out her phone to check the directions before taking a taxi all the way into the estate.
Unknown to her, in front of her taxi in a luxury car, a driver was alerted. He kept looking outside his rearview mirror at the taxi behind him.
“Madam, there is a taxi following us," the driver informed the woman seated in the back.
"Who? Did you see their faces?" The woman asked, slightly panicked.
"No, but there is a taxi that has been following us all this while. Please put on your seat belt, madam. I will try to lose them." The driver said that and started driving much faster. But no matter how fast she drove, Lydia's taxi, which was following the navigation on her phone, was still on track. Making the car in front feel like they were still being followed. The car drove into the estate and took Amy's turns to get to their home, only to see Lydia's taxi arrive at the

house next to theirs. The woman at the back took a deep breath and stepped out of the car towards the taxi the moment Lydia stepped out.
“I have called the police; you better explain why you are following me,” the woman questioned Lydia.

“I am here to see someone." Lydia was confused by what the woman was sprouting and stepped aside from her and walked towards the house. "Move; you are getting in the way." Lydia did not bother with the woman, even though she had heard the woman claim to have called the police.
"Where do you think you are going?" The woman made to grab Lydia, but she stepped aside.
"Who are you, and why should I be following you? Are you a celebrity? Are you the president of a country or a mistress hiding from the legal wife because you are so afraid of people on the same street as you? Move; I don't have time for this nonsense," Lydia scolded, and the woman froze at her words enough for Lydia to step into the compound. She heard noise from the backyard and walked that way. For a moment, she wondered why this estate had no security. If it had, this situation would not have taken place, as Lydia would not have been able to enter the house Harry rented. The moment she stepped into the backyard, she saw the words, Lydia, Marry Me, written out on a sign and held up by some men behind a man kneeling before Lydia.
