Come Back, My Ruunaway Bride

Chapter 21 Make A Deal



The moment Albert walked out, she slightly turned her head and took a look at the flowers on the table.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corners of her mouth. As she turned around, she suddenly froze when she saw Charles.

With a smile, Charles's low magnetic and hoarse voice made a charming vibration.

He leaned against the wall, with his gold rimmed glasses lazily on the bridge of his nose. The color of his thin lips was a little cold, and he exuded a sense of relaxation and calmness. "It seems that this young man is doing something bad again..."

He was playing with a delicate lighter with his slender fingers. The flashing graphics on it made Albert a little familiar. Without looking carefully, the man had already held the lighter in his hand. The warmth in Albert's eyes instantly faded away, and her tone was cold.

"Why are you here?"

As she spoke, a defensive wall rose from her body.

It seemed that Charles had found an interesting toy. A bloodthirsty and excited light flashed through his eyes under the shade of glasses.

He walked up to her, leaned over and smelled her.

A faint fragrance of lime dispersed the unpleasant smell of disinfectant in the hospital, which inexplicably made Charles like it.

However, Albert subconsciously stepped back, but she didn't expect that the man suddenly reached out to her, pressed her shoulder and forcibly controlled her.

After struggling for a while, Albert gave up.

Looking at Charles, her eyes were full of danger and coldness.

Charles hooked his lips, lowering his voice, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to come clean about what you did to me last night?"

Albert clenched her fists.

Why did it sound like she had done something shameful to Charles?

The man in front of her was too dangerous. Albert didn't want to have too much contact with him, and she didn't want him to find out her secret. She could only try her best to calm herself down. "Sir, if there is nothing else, can I leave now?"

Staring at her eyebrows, Charles couldn't find any familiar traces, and the temperature in his eyes also dropped a little.

He let go of her shoulders, and Albert quickly withdrew from a safe distance and looked at him cautiously.

Charles adjusted his glasses and said indifferently.

"Kid, you seem to have a grudge against the person inside. Are you interested in making a deal?"

Without hesitation, Albert refused, "No, thanks."

Charles was not annoyed, "You'd better cooperate with me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your two classmates downstairs."

He didn't like others to refuse him.

Albert had provoked him several times. He could still keep her alive. The first time was because she ran fast, and the second time was because of the inexplicably broken vase.

He was curious about what kind of surprise she would bring to him.

Hearing what Charles said, Albert laughed instead of getting angry.

"You can have a try."

Threatening?

Threat was the last thing she feared in her life.

In order to get the rune manipulating skill, Ashley threatened her with her life, but Albert didn't give in.

If Charles really had the ability, Albert would take his surname!

The master of the Rong clan was not someone to be trifled with!

After saying the harsh words, Albert ran downstairs in a hurry.

At least she had to confirm the safety of Rick and Rena.

After all, Charles was not a guy who could be easily ignored.

Rick and Rena were playing with Simba. When they raised their heads, they saw Albert running down with a serious face.

Rick hurried forward and asked, "Bro, is everything fine? Did Jerry embarrass you?"

After taking a look at them, Albert felt a little relieved. Then she looked at Simba, who was still in a daze, and her face returned to normal. "No. It's getting late. Let's go home."

Rena looked at the sky and said with a smile, "You agreed to go out with us yesterday. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Rena pinched Rick secretly, and Rick nodded immediately.

"That's right. Bro, you can't stand us up."

Albert frowned and seemed to be a little resistant, but finally she nodded.

The three of them left the hospital together. When they walked out of the gate of the hospital, Albert couldn't help but look back. There was nothing unusual, but she felt a little uneasy. Standing in front of the window, Charles watched the figure go farther and farther, as if he was staring at a prey, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

It had been a long time since he met such an interesting person.

How could he let her go so easily?

Charles raised his hand, and a school badge was quietly lying in his palm.

When he put his hand on her shoulder just now, he successfully took off the school badge on her chest the moment she quickly retreated.

He opened his thin lips and whispered, "Albert..."

This name was also very interesting.

He remembered that the little kid of the Rong family was also called Albert.

What Albert didn't know was that she had been targeted by Charles.

She also didn't know that the amusement park was the fun place Rena mentioned.

Just standing outside, listening to the screams coming and going inside, Albert, who had always been quiet, couldn't stand it anymore.

On the contrary, Rick and Rena went to buy the tickets excitedly.

Simba put its head on Albert's shoulder and rolled its big eyes. Albert knew that it couldn't be quiet, so she patted it on the shoulder and let it run out to play.

Rena came with two bottles of milk tea. Rick behind her took the ticket and held the snack. The three laughed and walked in.

Albert was a little behind and her eyes fell on the horizon.

At this time, the sun had set. It was dark, and lights of thousands of families were lit up. Especially in the amusement park, there were all kinds of dazzling lights. Around her were the people who were playing. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and there were people accompanying them. Only Albert, alone, occupied a strange body in this strange city. She was like a demon that couldn't see light. She always disguised herself.

Perhaps it was because she had experienced a lot of different things since she was a child. Albert was more precocious than other children of the same age, and she was very clear about her responsibility, not to mention treating herself as a girl. Perhaps it was because of that, no one suspected that the master of the Rong family was actually a woman.

Her grandpa and her parents were trying their best to maintain the century-old glory of the Rong family, but eventually they were killed by the ungrateful person they raised with their own hands.

Ashley, the little girl who used to call her "brother" in a sweet way had been dyed black by the big dye tank of the Imperial City.

For power and money, Ashley could even turn around and stab Albert without hesitation, even Albert's family.

The corners of Albert's mouth lifted into a smirk. 'Just wait and see. I will definitely let them pay a painful price!' She thought! ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
