Chapter 188: Telling Tony about breaking off the engagement
“Oh, Merry so anxious to make a match for me ah.” Tony smiled when he heard that.
Merry sniffed, face slightly red, uncomfortable said: “You are thirty years old, in our China, long ago married and have children.”
“I know this, thirty years old, but that’s what the ancient Chinese say, not many people get married at thirty now, right?” Tony said cheerfully.
He knew what Merry meant, he did not really care, at first this agreement, but also Merry unilaterally made, the reason, and he did not immediately explain to Merry, Tony is to make her understand, everyone has to be responsible for the words spoken, but also to make her understand, what is meant by thinking twice before acting, especially talking, she must have thought before saying.
“Well, Tony, I decided to marry Albert, it`s just that with daddy and mommy, I don’t know what to say, although there is no male and female love between us, but in the first place, I also said it myself.” Merry observed Tony with a sideways glance.
She believed that the Carlisle’s were reasonable people, but the words that were said were water that could not be retrieved, and it would have been better for her and Tony to say it together.
“You know it is good, my daddy, mommy that does not communicate, but I’m afraid you have to pay some price.” Tony said seriously.
They Carlisle family is a businessman, businessmen are not going to do a losing deal, Merry these years although doing well, but her ability is there, it is impossible to carry the entire Sage Group, but Merry can not, there is a person but can.
At this point Tony had an idea in mind, five years before he turned 35, these five years, he could make an exchange with the master.
“My life was saved by daddy, even if I have to die, I have nothing to complain.” Merry serious statement, if the Carlisle couple really opposed, she can only be sorry to Albert.
“This you do not worry, my daddy is not so bad, but this thing you do not have to worry, since you are to marry the master, that the sky is falling down also have the master top.” Tony smilingly said.
“Tony, you’re not going to get Albert’s idea, are you? He’s lying in a hospital bed.” Merry looked at Tony suspiciously, how to say, also get along for ten years, Tony in the mind of what, she can still guess a two.
“Merry, you really do not need to worry about this, the master is a man, these things, you should leave it to the men to deal with, here we are, you hurry back to rest, the other things, do not think about it.” Tony stopped the car and pointed out the car and said.
“I know, Tony, if it really doesn’t work, we can wait until after you get married……” Merry still worried, before getting out of the car again said.
Tony heard and laughed: “Hahahahaha …… Merry, even if you can wait, Albert is probably not willing to wait, besides, if I do not get married in another five years, ten years, do you plan to, for the rest of your life, never get married in your life??”
“Well, Tony, no matter what, this matter, I will personally say to daddy, mommy.” Merry looked at Tony and said solemnly.
No matter what Tony’s idea is, she can’t let Tony make things difficult for Albert, because this is something she promised herself in the first place, and there is no reason, for Albert to take the blame.
“Well, you do not need to worry, since I call Albert a master, I will not really embarrass him, you also do not think nonsense, go back to rest.” Tony said, closed the window and drove the car away with a ‘whoosh’.
The car is not a good idea, but as he said, it is useless to think about it now, you have to talk to daddy and mommy before you know what will happen.
Originally she was thinking of waiting for Tony to get married, or five years later, if Albert was still waiting for her at that time, then she would definitely marry him, but after this incident, she decided not to wait anymore, life is hard, who knows if they have the life to wait until five years later? After ten years of separation, she didn’t want to keep her love in her heart anymore, moreover, Albert had promised her that he would come to America to be with them, and that was enough.
Looking at the dust on the table, Merry used her fingers to write down the word Albert on the table, counting up, there are more than ten days not at home, also did not clean up, before coming back to wash and left, also did not care, this will also have no energy, simply wait for tomorrow to find someone to clean up well.
Yawn, Merry even lazy shower, directly so fell on the bed. Maybe because I know that Albert is fine, my heart is solid, this will be a touch of the bed, she fell asleep.
This time Merry had a beautiful dream, a dream with Albert, her, and her son, in the dream, she was wearing a holy wedding dress, walking towards Albert.
Suddenly, a man in a mask rushes forward, holding a gun, and shoots at Albert without a word.
“Don’t–Albert–you don’t want to die, don’t–” Merry shouted and woke up from her dream.
But when she opened her eyes, there was a man in front of the bed wearing a mask and holding a gun.
“Ah–” Merry screamed, threw the pillow, the quilt over, and grabbed the door while the masked man was panicking.
“Bang, bang ……” gunshots rang out in the ears, bullets flew past, Merry screamed and ran in the direction of the door, fortunately the quilt thrown out was right over the masked man’s face, plus Merry screamed, he obviously panicked a little.
Merry screamed for help as she ran out the door. But the masked man came out with her.
Merry tried to run in the direction of the door, but the masked man inside chased her out, so she had no chance at all. If she really tried to run out, she would probably be shot into a beehive before she reached the door.
“Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?” Merry hid behind the sofa, she was not happy, she just came back from the island of death, Albert also just turned around from the ghost gate, how come there are ‘evil spirits’ at the door again, who did she provoke in the end?
“When you die, ask the god of death and you will know.” The masked man said coldly and fired several shots at the sofa in quick succession.
At this time, Merry home phone rang, looking at the phone just a short distance away, Merry really want to answer, but fear the gun in front of her, at this time, her only barrier is the sofa, as long as she stood up, she certainly will not live.
She had no doubt whatsoever that this man was going to kill her, and if it was just to scare her, the masked man should have been gone as soon as she screamed.
“What does it matter if you tell me who it is when I’m the one who’s going to die?” Merry held a pillow in one hand to protect her chest while she circled the masked man, he went one way and Merry went the other, just hoping to give herself a fighting chance at the afterlife.
“This is about my professional conduct, you suffer death, Merry, to blame only yourself.” The masked man said, and with a long leap, jumped onto the couch.
“Ah–” Merry screamed, using the pillow to block the head, the body can not stop shaking.
Merry closed her eyes and waited for the gun to go off, but to her surprise, it didn’t. When I opened my eyes, I saw the chagrined look of the masked man, who had no bullets in his gun.
Merry seized this opportunity and rushed to run. When she opened the door, her foot just stepped out, the gun sounded again, and Merry felt a burning pain in her leg.
“Help–” Merry gritted her teeth, dragged her wounded leg, and pressed the elevator desperately.
Luckily, the elevator happened to be on this floor and opened with a single press, and there was someone in the elevator. As the elevator doors closed, she saw the masked man come out and shot several times in succession toward this side. Fortunately, the elevator blocked the bullets, otherwise she was afraid she would never see Albert again.
“Help me–” Merry immediately called for help from the people in the elevator.
In the elevator was a man and a woman, who appeared to be a couple. The two were also terrified when they heard the gunshots, especially the woman.
“Call the police, quick – call the police -” the woman yanked the man’s arm and screamed desperately.
The man’s hand holding the phone was trembling, how often have they encountered this kind of thing, this in case the murderer comes down, they will not follow without life.
“Please give me the phone.” Merry held the elevator wall with one hand and went to get the man’s phone with the other. Even if the masked man really wanted to kill her, he most likely wouldn’t dare to come down after her now.
Since he chose to sneak into the house to kill her, then certainly will not do it in public, and see that his movements, should only be a rookie killer.
Merry first called the police, then called an ambulance, after hitting the elevator, the elevator also stopped, but the pair in the elevator but did not dare to go out.
Looking down at the pants already stained with blood, Merry gritted her teeth and took the lead in getting out of the elevator. There were people outside the elevator, but not the masked man, but the security guard, and it turned out that the sound of gunfire upstairs had alerted the floor’s occupants, and someone had called the police.
“Miss, may I ask what happened?” The security guard stepped forward and held Merry.
“There was a masked man – with a gun -” Merry pointed upstairs, and her body suddenly went limp, surprisingly collapsing towards the security guard.
In the hospital, Albert kept calling Merry’s home phone with no answer, and calling her cell phone with no answer, his heart suddenly bottomed out with unease, so he called Tony.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Tony, has Merry not arrived home yet?” Tony, who had already returned to his place, had just come out of the bathroom when he received Albert’s call.
“No, an hour ago, I have delivered Merry safely to home, what happened to Master?” Tony looked at the time with confusion and was sure.
“Tony, please go check again, I just called Merry’s home phone, no answer on the phone, I am a little worried.” Albert is extremely uneasy, according to say he and Merry have reconciled, Merry should answer his phone.
“Master, you are too nervous, what can happen when Merry has already gone home? Why don’t I make a phone call and ask.” Tony said unimpressed.
He felt that these two people were too nervous when they came back, a little bit of wind and grass, they were all scared.
“No, Tony, you go check it out, I always feel something is wrong, my heart is particularly panicky, Merry and I in distress at sea, was not by chance, I worry that it is premeditated, if that is the case ……”
“OK, master you relax, I’m going to Merry’s house.” Tony could not argue with Albert, hung up the phone and rushed to Merry’s house, just arrived at the street corner and heard the sirens whining.
