Chapter 45

45 Ch. 45 Ling Meng Is The Reason Lori Is Alive

Anxia was starting to regret asking the man. She didn’t understand why she was curious about Richard’s treatment of her.

Judging the general character of men, shouldn’t Richard hate her?

She had tricked the man four years ago, and Richard also knew of her wicked plan to ruin Raymond’s married life.

Anxia believed that Richard must have investigated her background and knew she was master Yu’s assassin.

Then why was that man so kind and perhaps warmly caring of her if Anxia was willing to admit it?

Anxia could understand that Richard treasured Lori because the child was his flesh and blood. And she understood Richard was forcing her to marry him so Lori would grow up in a complete family.

Anxia also understood that Richard was nice to her in front of people so as not to invite suspicion from Stanley and the others.

But she didn’t understand why Richard was still sweet to her even though it was just the two of them.

Maybe because she was too curious and confused about her own feelings, Anxia unconsciously rushed to express her curiosity.

.....

“Because you are my wife.” came out a short answer with a faint smile from Richard making Anxia’s brows furrow.

“So if I weren’t your wife, you wouldn’t be nice to me?” she should have expected, but why did she feel disappointed?

“I’m still going to do the same thing.”

“Why?” Once again, Anxia was confused by the man who was her husband. She was trying to figure out what was going on in this man’s mind. But the man’s following answer left her speechless.

“Because you are my future wife. Why are you asking something you already know the answer to?”

“...” Anxia bit her lip because her heart was pounding abnormally upon hearing the man’s ridiculous answer. Not to mention the man’s hand, which was still comfortable stroking her thigh, made butterflies dance at the bottom of her stomach. “What do you mean by your future wife? You wouldn’t have married me without Lori.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Pang! Anxia clenched her fists as she felt something gripping her chest. She didn’t know what made her chest ache and constrict like this.

“I wouldn’t have forced you to marry me if Lori weren’t around. On the other hand, I would have...” Richard paused on purpose mid-sentence.

“What are you going to do?”

Richard moved closer, and suddenly Richard pushed her to lie, and his face was above Anxia’s head, causing the woman to hold her breath at their sudden closeness.

“I will entice you into accepting my proposal.” a crooked smile resembling a sly wolf grin spread across the man’s face.

Richard tilted his head to kiss his wife again, but Anxia immediately slipped her hands against her husband’s chest.

“Uh... what was in that paper?” Anxia struggled to change the topic of their conversation.

She didn’t know if Richard meant what he said, but she knew Richard desired her body. Everything was clearly seen through the man’s eyes, filled with lust, as he licked her cum on the man’s finger.

Anxia didn’t want to be trapped and became addicted to a man’s touch, which could make her lose her mind. If she were careless, she would fall in love with Richard instead of making Richard fall in love with her.

As she had expected, Richard Calvin was indeed very dangerous. Dangerous to her heart as well as her body. She began to regret her rash decision when agreeing to this marriage. She couldn’t understand how she could make such a reckless decision.

Anxia had no idea that Richard was deliberately cornering her by making her tired and frustrated so that she couldn’t think straight and immediately agreed to this marriage offer.

“There’s nothing special. At least it’s not about Lori or us.” Richard replied in an indifferent tone while he still didn’t move away and was still above Anxia’s face making his wife even more helpless.

“I don’t believe it. That person can’t be....” Anxia immediately pursed her lips tightly, realizing her mouth had made a mistake.

At least for now, Richard didn’t know who had found her. She must not expose the fact that Master Yu is in the country. Well, she didn’t see Master Yu in person, but she was sure she saw that cunning man’s right hand here. Master Yu’s right hand never parted from his master. If that guy is here, then there is a possibility that Master Yu is also here.

“That person?”

Ugh! Of course, Richard couldn’t possibly just let it go. This man would certainly find out who had installed the two tracking devices on his boat and the secret messenger on Anxia.

“Master Yu?”

Anxia didn’t answer and stared straight into Richard’s brown eyes without flinching. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Richard lifted his face and sat down with an even expression.

Anxia immediately sat down to fix her skirt to cover her intimate area. Even though she didn’t have to be ashamed of being seen by a perverted man like her husband, she still felt uncomfortable having her privacy area open for long periods.

“Besides master Yu do you have any other acquaintances? Like someone pretending to be you to pick up Lori at the Crown Plaza hotel. Who is that girl?”

“She’s my friend.”

“And she is also related to master Yu?”

“...”

“Lori said she was a bad influence on you. You always ignore Lori every time that girl comes to your house.”

“What? That is not true.”

“You mean Lori is lying? You know she can’t lie, at least.”

“And you know she’s the best at acting.”

“Yes, I know. After all, she got her talent from her mother.”

Anxia gripped the fabric of her shirt in frustration. She craved to beat this guy up. She didn’t understand how a man could make her angry and aroused at the same time. Richard was the expert when it came to playing with her emotions.

“So... who is that girl?”

“What do you want to know for?” Anxia couldn’t help but be wary. She didn’t understand why Richard wanted to know about her friend.

“I’m making a decision as to whether I should get rid of her for good or let her live.”

Anxia’s pair of eyes widened upon hearing this. What does it mean?

“You’ll regret it if you kill her.”

“Why should I?”

“Because Ling Meng is the sole reason why Lori is still alive today.”

“...”
