Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 699

Taken aback, Ariah looked at Emily worriedly, but Lennon immediately shifted his figure and blocked Ariah's line of sight.

With that, Lennon raised an eyebrow. "Miss Myers, what are you worrying about? Emily is my fiancee. I won't hurt her."

Looking into Lennon's deep gaze, Ariah came to her senses and nodded, "You're right. You should have a good chat with her then. She's still young and needs to be coaxed."

"I know."

Left with no choice, Ariah turned around and left.

However, she did not go far, and she was just lingering at the door of the bedroom.

If something went wrong, she would go in as soon as possible to ensure Emily's safety.

In the bedroom.

At this moment, Emily leaned against the wall as she alertly watched Lennon walk toward her.

Since they were at her place, she figured that Lennon wouldn't dare to mess around.

Even though Emily was determined, she was still anxious. Before Lennon could even approach her, she had already backed down. "Lennon, you could only blame yourself for being too stupid, and you can't blame me for escaping from your villa."

If Lennon were to punish her because of that, she would not accept it!

Then, Lennon stopped in front of Emily. In fact, Lennon had a tall figure, and he was nearly half a head taller than her, and her height was only till his shoulders.

The difference in their height subconsciously gave Emily pressure.

Before Lennon even spoke, Emily felt that she had begun to fear him.

Although she wanted to escape again, there was no way for her to escape.

"Was it fun?" When Lennon's deep voice sounded above Emily's head, her heart skipped a beat. "W-What?"

"Do you think it's fun to play me?"

Slowly, Lennon leaned his body closer to Emily, and her nose was almost against his chest, which made Emily feel as if she couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, her chin tightened, and her head was lifted by Lennon.

Staring into her eyes, Lennon asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

As her body stiffened, Emily straightened her neck. "When... since when did I play you? It was just that you were so stupid that you didn't even ask your men to check under the bed!"

In fact, she was just hiding under the bed at that time, so if Lennon were to ask the bodyguards to check, there would be no way she could escape.

After that, when all of Lennon's men went to the back hill to look for her, only then did she have the opportunity to slip away.

With a faint smile, Lennon's clear and cold voice pulled Emily back to reality. "Usually, those who offend me won't have any good endings. How do you think you will end up then?"

Instantly, Emily's face went pale when she thought of Lennon's vicious methods. "W- What are you going to do?"

Without a word, Lennon stared at Emily with a deep and inscrutable gaze.

It made Emily's scalp tingle. If Lennon were to punish Emily piquantly, she would not have been so afraid. The calmer he was, the more Emily felt like she was already being decapitated.

It was as if she was a fish on the chopping board, and he was the fishmonger that was sharpening his knife.

Suddenly, Lennon, who had been standing still, made a move. As he let go of Emily, he found a chair to sit down.

At that moment, she was standing, and he was seated.

Although Lennon was suddenly half a head shorter than her, Emily still felt that he had an imposing manner.

"You definitely won't be able to handle those torturing methods of mine, but I don't like to be made fun of for nothing either." Slowly, Lennon uttered.

The moment Emily heard his words, she couldn't help but tremble.

When Lennon saw her reaction, he laughed. "But you aren't just anyone. You are my future wife, and I'm not that cruel to torture my wife."

A few words from Lennon were already sufficient to let Emily's feelings go on a roller coaster ride.

Silently, she stared at him. At that moment, Lennon seemed to be a full lion, who was slowly teasing her with his sharp claws and refused to kill her racily.

The moment Lennon saw Emily's face gradually turned darker, he smirked and tapped his fingers on the armrest. "If you're so weak, you shouldn't have escaped."

However, Emily muttered to herself that she would still escape again if she were to have the chance.

"I'm a businessman, and I don't like to suffer losses. Not to mention that you broke my antique vase and didn't compensate me, but you also played me, which made me very angry." In an imperturbed manner, Lennon asked, "How should I deal with this anger of mine?"

Angrily, Emily glared at him. "What do you want?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Be good and follow me back. Then, I'll forget about these things."

"I won't go back with you!"

Immediately, she rejected his offer.

But Lennon was not angry at all. Instead, he stared at Emily for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject. "About the woman who helped you escaped away from my villa, her name is Nicole, right?"

Dumbfounded, Emily wondered how did he manage to guess what happened.

"Two years ago, when I was doing business with Camden in Wedan, I've met Nicole once. At that time, Camden also had her by his side," Slowly, Lennon uttered.

However, Emily did not understand why did Lennon suddenly mention this to her.

"At that time, I did feel that the relationship between them seemed quite strange. In fact, she didn't seem to be Camden's lover, and she was more like an enemy. Besides, Camden treated her with a strange attitude. Although I was curious about their relationship, I didn't ask much about it."

Then, Lennon crossed his legs and continued slowly, "If it weren't for Nicole, you wouldn't have been able to escape from my villa. What benefit have you promised her that made her help you?"

In the meantime, Emily was on the verge of breaking out in cold sweat after she heard how Lennon had just described what had happened yesterday in just a few words.

It was too terrifying.

"You don't want to tell me about it? Fine, let me have a guess then." With a sneer, Lennon continued, "Yesterday, in my villa, you ran down the stairs and threatened me to let you go. You've also mentioned that your friend Jimmy, who is a policeman, would never let me go. When Nicole heard Jimmy's name, she took the initiative to go upstairs to look for you. However, the condition for her to help you escape was that once you successfully escaped, you had to help her pass a message to Jimmy, wasn't it?"

As Emily broke out in a cold sweat, she glared at Lennon in disbelief.

She was in great shock that she couldn't even say a word.

Under Lennon's sharp gaze, Emily came to her senses and shook her head directly. "You are spouting nonsense. It was not what you think it is. You've got it all wrong!"

"Well, if my guess was wrong, why are you so agitated?" Curious, Lennon raised an eyebrow.

Angrily, Emily yelled, "It's none of your business!"

As a matter of fact, she was taken aback by Lennon's reasoning and intelligence.

With a sneer, Lennon uttered, "Since Jimmy isn't here right now, I'm sure he must've contacted Nicole. If I've not mistaken, he should be on his way to find Nicole, right?"

"No!"

"Do you want me to call Camden and let him know that someone is about to help Nicole escape?"

"Don't you dare!"

Anxiously, Emily strode over to Lennon and glared at him condescendingly. "You're not allowed to call Camden!"

Then, Lennon looked at her and nodded calmly. "Alright."

The fact that he agreed to Emily's request so straightforwardly left her in surprise.

Did he just... agreed just like that?

That wasn't Lennon's style.

In fact, he was not that kind of person!

Indeed, Lennon was not an easy-going person. Immediately, Lennon stood up, with his tall figure was right next to her, almost touching her body. Hurriedly, Emily took a few steps back.

"Follow me back, and I won't call Camden."

Angrily, Emily's chest heaved. It turned out that he was digging a hole and waiting for her to jump right in it!

It was true when she said that Lennon was not an easy person to deal with!

"Y-You're so mean!" Pissed, she started to curse, "You're such a b*stard. Why are you doing this to me? You b*stard!"
