She didn't know this man well, despite him saving her and her feeling grateful toward him.
Even so, it didn't mean that he could raise such a ridiculous request.
"My motive is simple. Ten thousand dollars and a week of your time." Vincent leaned back casually against the chair and said, "Or you could just give me ten billion dollars."
Rosalie said solemnly, "I don't have ten billion dollars."
"If you don't, then let's make it ten thousand dollars and a week of your time. If you can't afford either option, I'd have saved you in vain and I'll kill you."
His voice sounded like a rumble in the night, dangerous and with a tinge of wickedness.
He felt like a serpent hidden in the night, silently attacking his next victim in a way that made one shudder in fright.
Rosalie suddenly felt uneasy. She didn't know if it was in hindsight or because this man changed way too fast. He had just blocked a bullet for her at the risk of his life.
After coming here, he even let her drive his car off and gave her a gun for self-defense.
But now, he was acting like a completely different person, one who was evil and wicked.
Rosalie looked straight into Vincent's eyes, as if trying to see through them.
After a long time, she said, "You're not that kind of person. No one would risk his life for the sake of money. Since you blocked the bullet for me, why would you kill me? I don't know why you're saying something so ruthless, but whatever it is, I hope you'll make a full recovery soon."
With that, Rosalie stood up.
"I'm done with lunch. Take your time with the food. I'm leaving this place now. My son is waiting for me to return."
Rosalie's bag was kept in a cabinet not far away. She grabbed it, and pulled out a pen and a post-it note, and scribbled her number on it.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
