Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

Flipping the paper over, Andrew muttered, "Where the sun shines the brightest."

Scrunching her brows, Linyang curiously inquired, "What does that mean?"

Giving Michael a look, Andrew handed him the paper back before placing his hand on Linyang's shoulder. "I'll take you home."

"But—"

Cutting her off, he added, "Don't worry, Michael will handle everything here."

Without saying anything and refraining herself from asking any further questions, she quietly followed him to the car.

…..

Inside Andrew's car.

"Michael will drive your car home, is that okay?" When she nodded her head, he added, "Do you want to grab some food before going home?"

Wrapping her hands around his arm, she rested her head on his shoulder. "Can't we just go home and make a sandwich?"

Kissing the top of her head, he smiled, "Of course, whatever you say." He then drove out of the parking lot.

After sometime, Linyang asked, "Andrew, who is Pulos?"

Keeping quiet for some time, he answered, "When Jenni and I lost our parents, I was very small and so was she and to top everything up, Jennie was in a very critical condition. At that time, all our relatives left our side and started plotting against us. I was still very young at that time so I had no idea how to deal with it. That is when Pulos stepped in and saved both of us. He took care of Jennie and also started preparing me to take over my dad's business."

"So why is he against you now?" she curiously inquired.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew sighed, "I have no idea, I always knew his intentions were not one hundred percent pure but since he was the only one who was with me when I had nothing, I have treated him like my own but seems like he didn't." Helplessly shaking his head, he added, "People are weird."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she asked, "Why do you think he wants to meet you?"

"I have no idea, maybe this is one of his sly ways to get back on me."

"Or maybe he really wants to help you?" When Andrew frowned, she added, "It's not okay to be just pessimistic about this whole situation. What if he has something important to tell you or maybe he wants to help."

"You can be right but—" Kissing the back of her hand, he smiled, "Let's not talk about it anymore, okay? Why don't you tell me how your day was?"

…..

Wu base.

Looking at the report his subordinate had handed him a couple of minutes ago, Ashton frowned. Tossing it on the table, he gritted his teeth. "How is this possible?"

"We tried everything but—"

"Then try harder," he fumed.

Picking up the file, Yinhai gestured the subordinate to leave before reviewing the report. Raising his brows, he sighed before keeping the doc.u.ments down.

Looking at his friend who was boiling in anger, he tried to calm him down. "There is no point being angry, it's not gonna help."

"I don't understand, how did this even happen? I thought we had everything under control," Ashton snapped.

"I thought so too but we completely ignored everything and neglected everything." Helplessly shaking his head, Yinhai sighed, "We are at fault too."

Pursing his lips, Ashton scrunched his brows. "Now what? We will just sit and let that man enjoy his freedom?"

After learning that Elsa's toxic step brother, Alvin had been bailed from the jail by Henry, Elsa's childhood best friend who wanted to take her away from him, Ashton was losing his cool with every passing minute.

He had no idea if he was more angry over the fact that the two men who had tried to harm his woman had joined hands and were now probably working together or he was mad at himself for neglecting everything.

"You need to relax first, we need to find this Henry guy first. Do you know where he is from?"

Slumping on the couch, Ashton shook his head. "I have no idea, I think his file is still lying on my table."

"You investigated him already?" Yinhai inquired.

"I did when he started sending explicit photographs to Elsa a few months ago."

Scrunching his brows, Yinhai snapped, "He did what?" Gritting his teeth, he snapped harder. "And you are telling me this now?"

"I didn't want to unnecessarily make you worried so I handled it alone and—"

Cutting Ashton off, Yinhai scoffed, "Alone? Seriously Ash? I thought we both are supposed to work together no matter how small the matter is."

"You are getting me wrong dude, it's not—"

"No, you are the one who has it all wrong. We both are a team, we are supposed to work together and share everything."

Helplessly shaking his head, Ashton sighed, "I am sorry for not telling you. I know I should have but I didn't. Can we please not fight for now and try to find a solution to this mess?" When Yinhai did not say anything, he added, "Please bro, I won't be able to find a solution without you."

Thinking for a while, Yinhai remarked, "First we have to find out what they are up to. Since this Henry guy took all the trouble to bail Alvin out, I am sure he has a plan." Looking at him, he added, "They will definitely come after Elsa, we have to be careful until we hunt them down."

Li mansion.

"Girl, how do you feel?"

Looking at the mirror while caressing her protruding belly, Qiang pouted her lips. "I feel fat."

"Fat? I think you look okay," Becca remarked.

"Did Guang ask you to tell me this?" When both Huiling and Becca shrugged their shoulders, she sighed, "He tells me the same thing every time I ask him this question."

"Guang is really very sweet and is taking care of you so well, you are so lucky," Becca stated.

"That is so true, I always knew my brother would make a wonderful husband but now I am sure that he will make a wonderful father too," Huiling remarked.
