Chapter 582
"What? You've taken a fancy to him?"
"Yes, sort of," Adriana replied.
"He'll definitely be extremely honoured since he's caught your eye, Young Miss. In the future, he'll..."
"Keep it a secret first," Adriana instructed indifferently.
"Of course. Your wish is my command."
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Show up only when I ask you to. I still want to test him," Adriana continued.
"Yes, but... The chief's intentions are clear. If you can't get married to him, don't go to the last base with Chuck. You understand what I mean. I'm sorry, maybe I've said too much. Please don't mind my words."
"I know, I won't be too casual with him," Of course, Adriana would not allow Chuck to do so.
How long have they only known each other for? She was not so open-minded. After all, the bigger the family was, the more strict and disciplined it was.
She could only have one man, and that was her future husband! This was a tradition!
"Alright, but Young Miss, do you need me to do anything?"
"No."
"Yes!" She put the device back into her shoes and changed her clothes.
"I'm done," said Adriana as she walked out.
Chuck was stunned as he stole a glance at her. As a man, he had hidden instincts. Therefore, when he stole the clothes, he unconsciously grabbed the ones which were slightly transparent. Looking at her now, she looked so beautiful.
"What are you looking at?" Adriana raised an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing, it's just that you're as beautiful as my wife," Chuck replied with a smile.
"You're teasing me."
"I didn't, my wife Yve..." Chuck tried to explain. He was just joking around, but he wasn't really trying to flirt with her.
"No need to say any more," Adriana shook her head.
He didn't continue. Now that he could enter restaurants, he brought her into one. However, no one was willing to lend Chuck a phone when he asked around. He was agitated but could do nothing about it.
After lunch, he waited for Adriana's men to arrive. However, even as night approached, they were nowhere to be seen
"Didn't you say that your men would come over?"
"There might be something wrong."
"What kind of secret family is this?"
Chuck was at a loss for words. Was this woman for real? "Fine then, let's get out of here now that we've eaten for free," Chuck picked her up and ran away.
The people in the restaurant chased after them with knives. Since Chuck had regained most of his strength after a meal, it was obviously nothing for him to run away from them even while carrying a woman.
Soon, he found a place to hide.
Adriana chuckled lightly, "This is my first time eating without paying."
"F*ck me, it's my first time as well. Let's look for a place to sleep now," Chuck was exhausted. Fie had not slept well for the past few days, and could finally sleep well for the first time in days now.
"Okay, no problem," Adriana agreed.
Fie found a ruin and went in with her. Just like a gentleman, he laid her down aside and slept by himself. After this incident, he especially missed Yvette.
Fie really, really, missed her.
Naturally, he had no other thoughts about Adriana. If it was the Chuck back when he had just gotten rich, he would've definitely done something by now. After all, no one was around.
Now, he only wanted to sleep.
"You're not going to do anything with me?" Adriana questioned.
Chuck opened his eyes, "Are you messing around with me?"
Didn't this woman say that she was especially dangerous? After all, she was a member of some secret family. It would be better if he didn't provoke her for the time being, otherwise, his mother might become involved as well.
"I'm not messing with you. You're a man and I'm a woman, and we're all adults," Adriana said slowly.
Chuck looked at her strangely. Why was she so confident in whatever she said?
"Forget it, I already have a wife," Chuck closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
"You're not married."
"But I know a girl who grew up with me, and I like her. When I'm old enough, I will marry her," Chuck promised.
Of course.
Yvette had been with him for so long. She had always been the one in his heart. When they got married, he would host the most luxurious and extravagant wedding to let everyone know that Yvette Jordan was Chuck Cannon's wife.
"But you're still not married yet," Adriana continued expressionlessly.
"I will in the future. Don't think too much. Just go to sleep," Chuck closed his eyes again.
If she continued to joke around, his thoughts would run wild.
Adriana looked at him with narrowed eyes. He was a man with lust, but he could still control it. What an interesting man.
All of her words were merely a test. If he had tried looking at her expression, he would've found that she was saying so with a vacant look on her face. Her men would've appeared readily if he had agreed to her, signaling that Chuck was no different than other men who were not qualified to marry her.
When Adriana saw that Chuck had fallen asleep, she stood up. However, he turned over in his sleep and accidentally touched her.
For a moment, surprise, anger, indifference, and a bit of shyness crawled onto her face.
All she had to do was scream, and this man who dared to touch her would die within ten seconds.
"Are you pretending to be asleep, or did you do it on purpose?" She snorted softly.
"Honey, my dear..." Chuck murmured as he drooled in his sleep.
His words took her by surprise. She smiled gently, "Consider yourself lucky."
Adriana moved Chuck's hand to one side and took out the device once again.
"Hello. Young Miss, am I to pick you up now?"
Adriana looked at Chuck, who was fast asleep. She thought for a few seconds and ordered, "Find out who Chuck's wife is." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Please hold on."
Thirty seconds later, her answer came, "It's a woman called Yvette Jordan. She grew up with him and used to be a teacher, but now she is a killer in an organization. Her codename is Blood Leopard."
"An assassin? Interesting. Why did she become a killer?" Adriana was slightly taken aback.
"According to sources, it's because Karen is the one who killed her father. She probably wants to improve herself by being a killer."
"Fascinating. Then, it must be impossible for the two of them to end up together. What does this Yvette woman look like?"
"Well..."
"Say it."
"She's very, very pretty."
"Oh, what if she's compared to me?"
"No, of course not! How can this woman be qualified to be compared with you?"
"I'm talking about appearance."
"Well... she just doesn't look noble enough. Her facial features aren't bad, but I don't think she can compare with you at all."
"So, is what he said true?" Adriana looked at the sleeping Chuck again.
Chuck said that she was as beautiful as his wife. Now it seemed that Chuck was not lying.
She really wasn't that different from herself.
"Urn, it's similar. Do you need me to deal with Yvette Jordan? After all, she is not qualified to compete with you, so how can she be qualified to be with Chuck?"
"Do so.."
"Yes, I will. I found out that she should also be in the Amazon now." "Oh, is she here to look for him?"
"Yes. As long as you agree, she can die without a trace in an hour. Chuck won't be able to find out anything. Rest assured."
"I've always been at ease when you do things. But let it go this time. Let her go. Women need to be compared. Only then will he know that I am much better than Yvette Jordan," Adriana said calmly.
"Alright, then shall I go and pick you up now?"
"Well, I'm hurt. Come and deal with my wounds first, I still have to test him."
"You're hurt? Alright, please wait a moment!"
In less than a minute, someone rushed over. Ten men who were dressed in full-black, all of them well-trained.
They treated Adriana's wound quickly. With just a wave of her hand, everyone left. There was no noise at all during the process, and Chuck slept without being disturbed.
Adriana sat next to Chuck, closed her eyes and went to sleep. At least he was an honest man.
"Achoo!"
Yvette sneezed. She was very tired, but why did she sneeze all of a sudden? She looked around curiously. She couldn't have caught a cold, could she?
Yet, just a while ago, she felt someone tracking her down like a predator chasing down prey. It was only a moment, but she could feel her life in danger. She looked around in alert, but couldn't find anything out of place.
"Don't think too much. I'd better find Chuck as soon as possible," She thought to herself anxiously. She picked a wild fruit and ate it, continuing her search without rest.
When Adriana woke up in the morning, she felt a mixture of anger, shyness and indifference creep onto her face once again. Chuck was cuddled up to her, probably because of his tossing and turning at night.
She held herself back. Was this man doing it on purpose, or was it really because he was sleeping? She now doubted him.
At this moment, Chuck woke up and saw that he was leaning against her. He awkwardly apologized, "I'm sorry, are you alright?"
Adriana maintained her cool. Was she alright? Did he know that as long as she shouted, he would have had to die right away?
