“But I still have to meet with Chandler, he asked me to wait for him!” Tina quickly said.
Although she was mentally prepared to be sent home by Hunter after being caught, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon!
She had only spoken a few words with Chandler.
However, Mr. Hunter obviously ignored Tina’s words and called for a servant to come in and escort her out.
“Wait, I don’t…” Tina protested.
Hunter’s servants, one on each side, lifted her up. Although she knew some martial arts, this was
Hunter’s territory and she was an intruder. It wouldn’t be wise to fight back.
Besides, there were so many of Hunter’s servants that she wouldn’t be able to handle them all!
Just as Tina was thinking about how to persuade the old man to let her stay with Hunter, Chandler’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Let her go!”
The servants holding Tina looked to the old man for instructions.
The old man frowned and said to Chandler, “She broke the rules!”
“Rules are made by people. Whether she stays or goes is up to me!” Chandler replied.
The old man’s frown deepened. “Aren’t you afraid that letting her stay here will lead to unexpected changes?”
Chandler took Tina from the servants and said to the old man, “If anything unexpected happens, I will take responsibility for it myself.”
“What can you handle? You are now the only legitimate successor of the Hunter family. If you…” The old man was angry and seemed like he was about to scold, but he held back because Tina was also present.
“If you’re really afraid of not having an heir, then I can at least guarantee that Hunter won’t be without one,” Chandler said. Even if Tina didn’t want him anymore and he couldn’t live properly.
So as long as he donates sperm, Hunter’s bloodline can continue.
But there won’t be any emotional connection between him and the child!
“You–” Mr. Hunter was clearly more angry at Chandler’s words.
Ignoring the old man, Chandler took Tina’s hand and left the scene!
Tina was confused at the moment. What happened? What does she have to bear? And how did they get to talking about not having an heir?
Does the old man think she can’t conceive?
By the time Tina came to her senses, she and Chandler were in another room.
This room looked like a bedroom.
It was just a dark gray color scheme with some simple furniture, giving a particularly cold feeling. The whole room was too simple, as if there was no warmth.
“Is this… your room?” Tina asked.
“Hmm,” Chandler said.
“It’s different from your bedroom in Emerald City,” Tina muttered.
In his villa bedroom in Emerald City, there were many scattered things.
For example, there were teddy bears, picture frames with their photos, and various decorations that she thought were pretty.
Of course, these things seemed to have been accumulated in his room by Tina over the years, like a mouse moving house.
When they get married in the future, Tina also wants to add some warm things to this room so that it doesn’t look so empty! Tina thought to herself.
“How did you find this place?” Chandler’s voice suddenly interrupted Tina’s thoughts.
“Uh…” Tina looked guilty.
Seeing her like this, he knew that she probably used some unsavory means. “You know, I won’t blame you,” he said.
“Well, you said it yourself!” Tina said as if she had caught a lifeline. “Actually… I put a doll in your car, and there’s a locator inside the doll.”
Chandler’s eyes flickered slightly at her words.
He was always vigilant, but he had no guard against her at all.
If someone knew that she had found Hunter’s location like this, he would probably be laughed at.
“Why did you suddenly want to come here to my family’s house?” Chandler asked.
After all, he had returned to his family’s house many times before, but she had never secretly followed him like this before.
“Because…” Tina bit her lip and was a little embarrassed. “I want to know you better.”
“Know me better?” he raised an eyebrow.
but
“Like when you were soaking in the medicinal bath just now, I had no idea you were going to take a bath, and what’s with the black lines on your body?” She had seen his upper body before, but she hadn’t seen those black lines on his body.
Chandler remained silent. How could he explain Hunter’s secrets, his regular medicinal baths, and the black lines on his body to her?
“Have you fallen ill?” Tina asked with concern.
“What if…I really am sick?” Chandler murmured.
“Then of course we need to treat it!” Tina said matter-of-factly. “What kind of illness is it? Is it difficult to cure?”
“It’s not particularly difficult, but without a specific medicine, it’s hard to treat. However, if we find the specific medicine, it’s easy to cure,” Chandler said.
“So…have you found the specific medicine?” she asked with wide eyes.
He stared at her for a while before saying, “Yes, I have.”
But he couldn’t tell her directly that the medicine he found was the placenta of their future child!
They had to have a child!
If he told her this, how would she react?
He was afraid!
Yes, afraid!
There were few things that could make him afraid, but this was one of them.
When you care more and more about someone, you become more afraid of losing them.
“That’s good then!” Tina breathed a sigh of relief.
“Also, it’s very late today. I’ll have someone arrange for you to stay here for the night and send you back tomorrow morning. But tonight, you need to stay in the room and not wander around,” Chandler said.
“Can’t I stay here for a few more days?” Tina asked. She had taken a few days off from school for this trip.
“Be good and listen to me,” Chandler said.
Tina pouted, feeling like he was still treating her like a child.
“Then I’ll just sleep in this room tonight!” she suggested as a compromise.
After some thought, Chandler said, “Okay, you can stay here tonight. I’ll sleep in another room.”
“What?” Tina was surprised. She wanted to sleep in the same room as him.
If he went to another room, what was the point of her staying in this one?
“Why do you have to go to another room? Can’t we just share one room? I promise I won’t do anything to you tonight!” she said, suspecting that he was worried she might make a move on him.
“Hunter is conservative. Although we’re engaged, we’re still unmarried, so it’s best to sleep in separate rooms. When we get married in the future, even if you want to sleep in separate rooms, I won’t allow it,”
Chandler explained.
Tina blushed slightly at the thought of what they would be like after they got married.
In the end, Tina followed Chandler’s advice and slept in another room.
Hunter’s servants were clearly curious about her and couldn’t help but stare at her when they saw her.
That night, Tina couldn’t sleep in Hunter’s guest room.
I just can’t fall asleep!
Being in an unfamiliar environment, especially this room which is far away from Chandler’s room, makes it even harder.
It’s like Hunter purposely arranged for her to be so far away!
Speaking of which, she came here because she listened to Weldon and wanted to see the real
Chandler.
But after coming here, besides finding out that Chandler is sick but has medicine and it’s not a big deal, there doesn’t seem to be anything else!
Oh, wait!
Tina suddenly shuddered. Because so much has happened, she forgot to ask Chandler about what the servant said regarding a previous incident where a servant went in while he was taking a bath and came out with abnormal behavior.
Did something happen between him and the servant?
So, she can’t sleep now and decides to go to Chandler’s room to ask him about it. It should be okay, right?
Tina makes an excuse to go to Chandler’s room in the middle of the night.
Chandler’s room is a distance away from her guest room, but luckily Tina had already memorized the route beforehand, so there weren’t any obstacles for her to go there alone at night.
The Hunter family at night is even colder than during the day.
And because it’s nighttime, she didn’t see any servants coming or going on her way here.
The excessive silence makes her feel a bit scared.
