Timeless Devotion

Swoosh Swoosh

On a starkly silent night, the heavy gasps and rapidly prodding footsteps were unusually clear in the deep street alley.

Cindy Luo seemed to be rather flustered, her face red and her forehead covered with sweat as she staggered on her feet.

Every now and then Cindy Luo squeezed her eyes as she clutched her stomach with her hands to contain the sharp pain caused by excessive alcohol.

The alcohol was getting better of her with every passing moment. At that moment, she was in unbearable pain.

But Cindy Luo couldn't afford to stop!

Especially after she saw a familiar figure at the bar gate just a while ago.

Cindy Luo could still not get over the cold and condensing look on his face and his piercing eyes. At the moment, she could think of only one thing.

She didn't want to see him again!

She hated him so much!

That was exactly what caused Cindy to run all the way from downtown to this deserted street even though she felt extremely exhausted.

After a while, Cindy Luo's legs felt so heavy that she started to drag her feet till the time her legs started to feel numb.

Cindy Luo halted in the middle of the road and bent over. The stabbing pain in her stomach was pulling her down and her heart was pounding against her chest. She then took a deep breath.

The uncanny silence all round and night breeze biting into Cindy Luo's skin made her tremble.

All of a sudden, she felt a dull chill on her back.

She swallowed hard and turned around.

However, all she could see was the ruthless darkness staring back at her.

He… He didn't catch up! He did not come after her!

A mix of anger and disappointment flashed across her face.

"Huh…

How foolish of me? What was I expecting?" Cindy thought in her mind.

Had he not thrown Cindy Luo out of the house already? Yes! He had left her alone already.

He had made his choice. He chose the woman he loved and she was the one who would be his bride! And that was certainly not Cindy Luo.

And Cindy Luo…

She felt aggrieved and sad, with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

All of a sudden...

"ZZZZZZ --"

The sound of a sharp brake pierced the darkness of the night as a speeding car stopped right beside Cindy Luo.

And before she could even look up and see what had happened, she found herself wrapped by a big strong arm, the hand of which was covering her little mouth.

Next, the other hand wrapped tightly around her waist. Cindy Luo could feel the warmth of his body, which made her heart beat faster.

Before she could even react, she was forcefully pushed into the car.

"Phewww Let go of me... "

Cindy Luo struggled until she smelt a familiar perfume coming from the man. After that, she became a little calm.

However, the calmness was momentary. Barely two seconds had passed before Cindy Luo found her anger surging again and she started grasping even harder.

She struggled with all her might to free herself, but the more rebellious she was, the tighter the man held her in his arms.

The entire scene of the man driving her out of the house in front of the other woman came alive in front of Cindy Luo's eyes. How the woman had nestled in his arms as if they might have already made love...

The very thought of it felt like a dagger stabbing into Cindy's heart.

Cindy's eyes had turned red as blood, and she struggled even harder to free herself. She made up a strong will and put in all her strength to free herself from the stranglehold.

Looking at Cindy throwing her limbs while being in his arms, Marcus Huo' eyes darkened.

A momentary distraction on his part could have been enough for her to succeed in escaping.

Marcus Huo pursed his lips slightly. His hand that was covering Cindy's mouth slid down a little. And unexpectedly…

"What?"

Cindy let out a scream and froze all of a sudden.

At the moment, Cindy remained still. She was too scared to move. She held her breath and even forgot to struggle.

Only her petite face was as hot as a soldering iron.

As for Marcus Huo, although his action was unintentional, at the moment, he had no intention of letting go.

Finally, it was not until Marcus Huo' handsome face got closer to her that she came back to her senses.

Cindy raised her hand and hit Marcus Huo hard on his face.
