However, Esther shrugged, turned to leave, and ignored him.
Philip was somewhat stunned. Why did she ignore him? Didn't she come to chat him up? As Esther walked away, he could not help but rush up to pull Esther's arm. "Wait a minute!"
"Why?" Esther stopped and looked at him. Her gaze fell on his hand which was holding her arm. She broke free quickly.
"You want to go after you meddled?" Philip was annoyed by her movement.
"So what?" Esther didn't give in. "You can’t let me go?"
Just then, four men in suits appeared suddenly, stood in front of Esther, and said respectfully, "Madam, do you need help?"
Esther was stunned and scared by them. "You?"
"Master commanded us to protect you!" One man explained.
Madam?
Philip didn't expect that she had got married at such a young age and pursed his mouth in disappointment! He did mistake her since she had got married. Philip curled his lips. "What's your name?"
Esther said to the four men, "It doesn't matter. Go to handle your own business. I can handle it myself!"
They didn't dare to defy Esther, so they obediently stood aside.
Esther looked at Philip and smiled faintly. " You have bodyguards. So do I!"
"I didn't expect that you had got married at such a young age!" Philip put on a faint and charming smile. "I just want to know your name."
Esther pouted. "I won't tell you!"
"You…" Philip had never been rejected.
A man hurried to see Philip, and whispered respectfully, "Master, we did not find Miss, and Madam passed away ten years ago. Tonight…"
"Book a hotel! We live in G City tonight. You must find her!" Philip said in a cold voice. The evil smile on his face disappeared. Instead, his eyes darkened. He frowned, pursed his lips, and gave out a domineering and noble vibe. He was not so lecherous as before!
Esther paused, shrugged her shoulders, and waited for him.
"What's your name?" Philip turned his head and asked Esther.
"I cannot tell you! Goodbye!" Esther turned her head and walked away.
Philip didn't go after her.
"Shall we go back to the hotel?" The tall and burly man in black asked respectfully.
"Don't follow me!" Philip looked at Esther's back, frowned slightly, and strode out of the mall.
The setting sun shone on his body. He seemed to be covered with golden light and was so dazzling that no one could look directly at him. He walked out slowly and his footsteps were heavy. A hint of sadness touched his eyebrows. There was gloominess and pains in his eyes.
“Christ Perry!”
Philip whispered!
He clenched his hands!
"Master!" The tall man in black appeared again with an anxious expression.
Philip suppressed his mood, put on an indifferent look, and turned his head. "Say it!"
"Miss had also passed away!"
Philip shivered a bit, had his back on the man in black. As the sun was setting, the shadow fell on his face and created a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
"The orphanage staff in G City said a girl named Crystal Perry had lived in the orphanage, but she and two other kids died in a fire!"
"It's impossible!" Philip put on a grieved look and repressed the trembling voice, "Try again!
"Yes!" It was the first time the tall man had seen the pains in Philip's eyes.
He took out a brocade box from his pocket and opened it with his trembling hands. An emerald bracelet was wrapped in the brocade. It was made of good emerald and looked ancient.
He held it tight, put it in his pocket, and strode forward as his face darkened.
Esther strolled and a tall man walked towards her. His figure was bleak and lonely in the sunset. Esther was stunned!
She didn't expect to meet that man again!
Even if he was bathed in the golden light, his vibe was still cold and indifferent as if he was covered with ice. He looked very and sad, and his sad face made her sad too.
Why was he so grieved?
Esther thought and found herself too meddlesome. She even felt sympathetic to such a man!
"It's you!" Philip walked up and found her.
"So what?" Esther did not like his condescending tone. She shook her head to get rid of stress.
"Nothing!" Philip suddenly said in a clear voice and gave her a sense of pressure.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
