Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 16
Violet sat up straight and turned to look at that iceberg-like face. He was expressionless.
He could fight very well, but his face was as arrogant as Jack’s. There was no wonder that they were master and se rvant.
Michael was very calm although he could sense where she was looking. He kept his sight directed to the front without betraying any hint of emotion and did not plan to speak.
Violet looked away sullenly after a while.
That was before she suddenly jolted up. “Where are you bringing me?” She looked out the window. Were they going back?
Nobody answered her.
“Hey!” She yelled, sensing something was amiss. “Stop the car!”
This was the way to the mansion!
She frowned and shouted, “Stop the car! Let me out! I don’t want to see him! Stop the car! Are you listening to me?!”
She did not want him to see her in this pitiful state.
The chauffeur turned to glance at Michael. Naturally, he dared not stop the car without the master’s orders.
Violet began to panic. She turned to glare at Michael. “Hey, get him to stop the car, won’t you?!”
Michael’s eyes met with hers.

“Thank you very much for saving me!” she said, “You can let me down now! I don’t want to see Jack! I don’t wish to see him!”
Violet knew he was in charge here. How could she move him when he was as hard as an iceberg? He was as cold as Jack Yancey!
Unemotionally, Michael looked at her from the corner of his eyes and spoke, “Do you have a death wish? How did they know where you would be dropped off?”

“There is only one possibility. We’ve been followed from the moment we departed. There’s more than one ambush along our trip.” He came to an immediate conclusion.
“..” Violet quietened down after hearing what he said. She was only half convinced. “How do you know?”
“Believe what you will.”
Violet glared at him and continued doing so for a full minute.
This man did not seem capable of expressing any emotion. All he did was blink and sit as still as a log. Was he a robot?
Violet bit her lip and felt as deflated as a burst balloon. All she could do was accept her misfortune…
The only place she could go if she wanted to survive, was his.
At the moment, lights were shining brightly from the mansion at Goldbay Estate.
Jack sat alone with his whiskey on his custom-designed couch, thinking back on the incidents that had happened over the past hour.
He frowned as he thought to himself, ‘Is this destiny?’
An urgent matter at the company earlier today had caused him to depart ten minutes later than he had planned.
He had gotten stuck in a traffic jam on the way to fetch her.
After fetching her, they had encountered those brutes and got entangled in a fight. All of that had resulted in him being unable to send her off before the sunset, which led to her learning about his secret.
Everything felt too coincidental, as though it had been predestined.
His phone rang, disrupting his thoughts.
Jack took up the phone and glanced at the caller ID before answering. “Ili, grandpa.”
“Where’s Violet? Senior Yancey’s kind voice said. “Could you pass the phone to her? I have something to tell her.”
Why was he talking about her again? Jack felt unhappy but he did not show it. “She has gone home,” he said calmly.
