Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

Chapter 862 - "Don't hesitate to call me"

"You don't have to abandon work for me. We can go shopping when you are free and besides, it's not that important," Qiang explained.

"Come here." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Guang pulled her into his l.a.p. "Now why don't you tell me what is going on in your mind."

When she did not say anything, he added, "Babe, if you don't tell me how am I supposed to know what is bothering you? We do have a heart to heart connection but I am sure we can't read each other's mind."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she hesitantly answered, "I don't wanna unnecessarily trouble you. You are already working so hard and—"? After they got married, Guang had been working hard expanding his business. Qiang knew he had been doing so because of the new responsibilities that were on the way and to give them a better future. There were times when she felt extremely bad for him who was taking care of things all by himself and she could presently do nothing to help him out. Even if she wanted to, she knew her husband and father would never agree to that.

Keeping everything in mind, she decided not to unnecessarily trouble Guang and make things more difficult for him.

Stopping midway, she sighed, "I feel bad at times because I can't do anything at present to help you."

"Who said you are not doing anything?" Without waiting for her reply, Guang explained, "You are taking care of our kids. That itself is a very huge responsibility and tedious thing to do. A hundred times more difficult and hard working task that I have been doing. You have no idea how grateful I am of you for doing this because I know if I was the one carrying the kids for nine whole months, I would have never been able to do it."

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "You don't have to hesitate to tell me what you want babe. When did we start hesitating like this with each other? You can tell me anything you want."

"Even if I want to have donuts in the middle of the night?" she asked.

"Yes, anything. As your husband and the father of our kids, I am always at your service."

Squeezing his cheeks, she chuckled, "Why are you so cute?"

"If I wasn't cute, you would never fall for me."

Inside a house.

Grabbing his bag, Henry squatted right in front of Elsa and smiled, "My intention of bringing you here wasn't to hurt you, I can never hurt you Elsa. I just wanted to—" Looking at Alvin, who was lying cold and dead on the floor, he added, "I just wanted to give him what he deserves and I did."

Taking a card out of his pocket, he shoved it inside her jacket. "I know he hasn't told you anything about you and I also know that he will never tell you. So if someday you become curious and want to find out, don't hesitate to give me a call."

Getting up, he added, "You don't have to wait for long, your boyfriend will be here any minute—" A loud 'BANG' interrupted him. "Seems like he is already here. That was faster than I had expected, seems like your lover boy is getting faster."

Walking towards the back door, he added, "I will wait for your call."

Before Elsa could say anything, Henry was nowhere to be seen. Trying to free herself, she started twisting and turning her body, bruising her arms and legs in the process.

"Elsa—" Ashton shouted before rushing towards her. Without wasting any time, je quickly set her free.

Pouncing in his embrace, Elsa burst into tears. "He was here—he killed—" Crying harder, she muttered, "I couldn't do anything."

Looking at Alvin who was lying dead on the floor, Ashton sighed and tried to calm her down. "It's not your fault."

After the news about Alvin's disappearance from the prison, Ashton assumed that Henry must be behind it. Though he was right, Alvin's death baffled him. Did Henry rescue Alvin just to kill him? If yes, why would he do that? With several questions revolving inside his head, he decided to shove them aside for a while and focus on Elsa who was still very traumatized after the whole incident.

"We can't find him anywhere," Yinhai stated.

"He left from the back door," Elsa guided them.

"You should take Elsa home, we will handle things here with the legal officers,"? Zian instructed.

Following his instructions which was the best, Ashton guided Elsa outside, towards the car.

"Seriously, this is how you people are going to treat me now?" Guang snapped.

"What are you talking about?" Yinhai inquired.

"Why didn't any of you tell me about Elsa's abduction?" When Yinhai did not say anything, he snapped harder. "Do I have to rely on the guards to tell such important things about our group?"

Taking a deep breath, Yinhai tried to calm him down. "You are taking it in a wrong way Guang, it's nothing like that—"

"Taking it in the wrong way? This wasn't the answer I was looking for." Cutting Yinhai off, Guang added, "You know what, I don't wanna hear any kind of explanation from you all. Just tell everyone that I am super disappointed especially with you and Ashton."

"Seriously, you called me here to shout at me like this? I had a very rough day today, A tight bro hug would have been much appreciated." Slumping on the couch, Yinhai muttered to himself. "I need a day off." Before closing his eyes for a few minutes. He was very exhausted after a very long day. He was planning to go home and take some rest when Guang called him over. So he changed his plans and came to see him instead.
