Dear Sweetheart Chapter 174 Why The Hell Are You Crying

“Come back here!” Kristie exclaimed frantically.

She finally got to her feet after removing her cumbersome heels and rushed to keep up.

By the time she reached the empty streets, James was nowhere to be found.

“Why won’t you listen to me, you stupid Gray Wolf! I didn’t do it on purpose.” Kristie sobbed profusely as she took in the desolate scene around her.

She had no idea that they were siblings.

Kristie crouched down and burst into uncontrollable tears as she was overcome with the indignity she’d suffered.

He’s too much!

How could he abandon me in such an unfamiliar place?

Several blonde-haired youths who were passing by noticed Kristie weeping by the road. They took in her flawlessly fair skin and exchanged glances before making their way toward her.

One of the youths crouched down beside Kristie and asked in broken Anglandurn, “Hey, why are you crying?”

Kristie raised her head and was repulsed by their hoodlum-like behavior. “How does this concern you? Leave me alone!”

She stood up and prepared to leave.

“Come on, don’t go! Let’s have some fun together!” The youth grabbed Kristie.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” Kristie shrieked as she slapped his hand off her. The youths started encircling her as if she were part of their gang to avoid attracting too much attention.

They were about to coerce her to go along with them when a tall and broad figure appeared menacingly.

“Let her go.”

The youths were annoyed at being disrupted. “Who the hell are you? She’s ours now, so get out of our—”

The youth did not get to finish his sentence, as he was punched in the face.

Before any one of the youths could react, they were already lying on the ground whining in pain with aches in various parts of their body.

Once he was done thrashing the delinquents, James pulled Kristie along with him stonily and strode off.

“Slow down. I can’t keep up.” Kristie stumbled behind him and cast him a sidelong glance. She had not foreseen his return.

She sniffled and added, “I’ll apologize to your sister once I’m back in the country. I’m aware of my mistake, so please tell me that you won’t leave me.”

James ignored her.

Kristie cried out in pain and tripped.

She would have fallen if James had not supported her. His face was lined with impatience. “What is it again?”

I must be out of my mind. Why did I come all the way back here out of concern for her safety?

She’s indeed a worrisome creature. How senseless is she to be out crying in such cold weather? To think she managed to draw the attention of a bunch of thugs! She’d be done for if I hadn’t been there.

Kristie whimpered piteously. “I think I hurt my feet.”

It was only then that he noticed that she was barefooted. Her pale soles were covered in dirt, while her left one had been cut by shards and was bleeding ceaselessly.

He was ticked off. “Why aren’t you wearing your shoes? Are you daft?”

“That’s it! I’ve had enough of your temper!” Kristie was at her limit. “It’s all thanks to your vanishing act! I wouldn’t have been able to walk at all if I’d continued wearing my heels.”

In the next second, she put on a pitiful look as she clung to his arm. “Come now, don’t be mad at me. I’ll do anything you say if you stop being angry.”

“Get your hands off of me.”
