Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Meanwhile, Nelly had just reached the hotel. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Boss said, “It’s not safe around here lately. If you need anything, ask someone to get it for you. Try not to go out unnecessarily.”

Nelly turned around and looked at the man coldly. “Why? Are you going to start restricting my freedom now?”

“I’m just concerned about your safety,” Boss replied in a deep voice.

“There’s no need for that. I will be responsible for my own safety,” Nelly said softly.

Boss felt a flash of irritation at how the woman was always keeping people at a distance.

He got out of the car and walked toward her. “Recently, there have been a lot of crimes happening. A foreigner like you would be an easy target. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“For my own good?” Nelly let out a chuckle when she heard. “But we are at most acquaintances, not even friends. Why are you so good to me?”

An unfathomable glint appeared in Boss’ eyes as he looked at her.

A moment later, the man spoke. “What if I tell you it’s because I find you attractive?”

“But there are so many attractive women in the world. Are you really good to me because of such a superficial reason?”

“Because you’re not only pretty, you’re also very sassy! I like that!”

“Sorry, but I don’t! Besides, I don’t think I’m sassy at all. I’m just good at rejecting people. I think it’s quite sad if you consider that sassy. It means that there isn’t a single genuine person by your side.”

Not only was the woman sassy, but she was also extremely sharp with her words.

However, even if that was the case, Boss still found Nelly extremely appealing, and he could not help but feel attracted to her.

“You’re right. It’s true that there aren’t any genuine people around me, but I don’t need that,” Boss replied slowly with a meaningful gaze.

“If you don’t need that, don’t try to act genuine toward me. I don’t appreciate that.”

The man merely looked at Nelly without replying.

“So, when are you taking me to Midnight fang pack ?” Nelly asked directly.

When Boss heard that, he shut his eyes for a moment before saying thoughtfully, “I’ve already told you, General Will is occupied with some matters lately. I’ll take you there after he’s done with his work.”

“How long more will it take?”

“I’m not sure yet, but it won’t be too long.”

“If that’s the case, maybe I can come back again when he’s free?”

A crease appeared between Boss’ brows as he looked at her.

Nelly was well aware of her situation. It was clear that the man was keeping her under surveillance, but he was trying to act like her friend, telling her that he wasn’t restricting her freedom when it was obviously not true.

Nelly did not know what Boss’ intentions were, but she was clear that he was scheming something.

At that thought, she looked at the man and said, “I’ll wait for two more days. If the situation is still the same, I’ll be heading to Midnight fang pack myself.”

Boss looked up at the woman incredulously and asked, “You want to go there yourself?” He chuckled. “Do you even know where it is?”

Nelly surveyed her surroundings. “If I guessed it correctly, it should be not too far from here, right? Around fifteen miles toward the east?”

A smirk, which was somewhat stiff, appeared on Boss’ face as he looked at Nelly with a complicated expression.

A while later, he answered, “Nope.”

Nelly fixed her gaze on the man as the corners of her lips curled into a confident smile. “You hesitated for ten seconds before replying. That means you’re lying!”

Indeed, Nelly was extremely smart. In fact, she was so smart that she could see through any pretense.

Boss stared at the woman and smiled. Feigning nonchalance, he said, “There’s nothing you can do even if you know the location of Midnight fang pack . Do you think you can walk through the gates freely? Or do you think you will be able to get close to General Will? Let me tell you, before you could even step foot into the compound, you would have already been shot dead!”

Even if what the man said was true, Nelly had already made up her mind. With a fearless expression, she said resolutely, “Even if that’s my fate, I will be responsible for my own choice!”

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Boss asked, scrutinizing her.

“I am!” Nelly replied, smiling at the man faintly. “Of course I’m afraid to die. Otherwise, why would I look for you?”

Although it was just a subtle smile, Boss found it extremely alluring.

Taking a moment to compose himself, the man asked, “If that’s the case, why do you still want to go?”

“It’s natural for us to be scared when we’re venturing into the unknown. However, being afraid should not stop us from doing what needs to be done,” Nelly enunciated each word slowly.

Boss looked at her with a strange glow in his eyes and asked, “Your father has already passed away for so long. Isn’t it easier for you to let everything go and move on with your life? Why do you insist on finding out the truth?”

“Good question. Then why is there a need to have family or blood relations in this world?” Nelly asked in return.

Boss pressed his lips together when he heard the woman’s reply. He knew that there was no way he would be able to convince her.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the man looked at Nelly and said, “General Will is not somebody to be trifled with. Let me give you a word of advice. It’s better for you to stop pursuing this matter. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, things might progress to a stage where no one will be able to save you!”

After entering the room, Nelly took off her shoes at the doorway and walked inside.

She sat on the chair with her slender legs crossed. With one hand supporting her chin, she gazed outside while wearing a tight frown, seemingly in deep thought.

A few moments later, she regained her senses and shifted her eyes to the newly purchased items on the table. She got to her feet, took out a can of drink from the grocery bag, and narrowed her eyes at the name on the can. Hopefully, they will see this.

With that thought in her mind, Nelly opened the can and poured the drink into the pond before throwing the empty can into the rubbish bin.

She then casually tied her hair into a bun and went into the bathroom.

When she exited the bathroom half an hour later, she had changed into a more comfortable casual sports attire with her hair hanging freely on her back. Despite being a mother of three children, she had the appearance of a pure and innocent maiden with a hint of maturity lacing her beauty.

She had wanted to take a shower, but she went downstairs in search of food instead, as she suddenly felt a little hungry.

When she descended to the first floor of the hotel, she ordered some food and sat at a table next to the window to enjoy her meal.

At that moment, a commotion erupted behind her.

She turned her head around and saw a knife-wielding man dressed in the hotel employee’s uniform chasing after Boss.

She raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise. What is this? An assassination?

Nelly continued to enjoy her food unperturbedly. She did not show any inclination to call anyone to help Boss and merely resumed eating while watching the scene.

The two men fought in the corridor. When Boss noticed Nelly and how she looked at them in amusement, he knitted his brows. As he was distracted, his opponent managed to take the opportunity of the split second to stab a knife into his chest.

“Argh!” Boss returned to his senses and furrowed his brows at the sight of the knife protruding from his chest.

Even though he was infuriated, there was nothing he could do because he was at a disadvantage.

However, just as the killer was about to end Boss’ life with a final hit, Boss struggled mightily until his face turned crimson.

Nelly could have rescued Boss if she had provided him with the slightest assistance. Still, she remained an observer and ate her meal in a relaxed manner, showing no desire to lend a helping hand.

Instead, the amused look in her eyes intensified.

Inexplicable complex emotions glinted in Boss’ eyes as he gave her the side-eye.

In the end, Boss was gradually overwhelmed in the brawl as his muscles grew weaker. Just as the assassin was about to stab the knife into Boss’ eyes, a loud bang sounded. The man threatening to end Boss’ life froze with his widened eyes fixating on Boss.

Bang! Bang!

Two more gunshots rang out. Blood gushed out from the killer’s mouth as his grip around the knife slowly slackened. He ultimately fell to the floor with his eyes still open as he expired in reluctance.

Someone jogged over a few seconds later. “Boss, how are you? Are you all right?”

Boss did not respond, seemingly used to experiencing such situations. He stared at the man on the floor and said, “Get rid of him.”

“Got it.”

Boss applied pressure on the wound on his chest, but blood continued to pour out continuously. His subordinates hurried over. “Boss, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

“I’ll get the doctor right away!” One of his subordinates immediately left after saying that.

Boss stood rooted to his spot with his gaze fixated on Nelly , who was sitting nearby and enjoying her meal calmly with a hint of disdain and mockery on her face.

He strode up to her, sat down, and asked, while staring at her food, “So, how’s the food?” Nelly nodded. “It’s not bad.”

“What about the show earlier? Was it entertaining?” “It was a little boring.”

“Boring?”

“The ending is predictable, just like all the shows on television.” Nelly shook her head regretfully.

Boss sat in front of her with blood trickling down her chest and colors draining from his face with every passing second. Yet, when he heard her words, he chuckled. “You seem disappointed with the

outcome?”

“Really?” Nelly smiled at him. “I’m still counting on you on the search, so I’ll never harbor that kind of thought.”

“Oh? Then why didn’t you help me just now?” “Me? Help?”

Boss stared at her in silence.

“Shouldn’t I allow you to handle a matter between men on your own? If I had assisted you, how embarrassed would you have looked in front of others?”

“Then should I be thanking you instead?”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
