Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 25

Shelly felt a headache and rubbed her head. It was dark around. Where was she? She remembered that when she was about to enter the airport, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose, and then she lost consciousness.

"Bang!" the door was opened and several people came in.

"Take her out."

Shelly was dragged out. The dazzling light made her feel uncomfortable, so she hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands.

"Miss Shelly, please have a seat." A man's voice with a foreign accent sounded. Apparently, his Chinese was not very fluent.

Shelly slowly put down her hands, opened her eyes and looked around at the surrounding environment and the man in front of her. The room was luxuriously decorated, and the floor was a little wobbly. She guessed that they were on a boat. The man in front of her was a typical European looking and behaved decently, but the murderous look in his eyes destroyed his elegance.

"Who are you? Why did you catch me? " Shelly stood up slowly and said coldly.

"Miss Shelly, how are you? You are my distinguished guest. I won't neglect you." The man gracefully made a gesture of welcome.

Shelly sat on the sofa. She was helpless now and could not resist.

Seeing that Shelly sat down obediently, the man smiled and said, "Miss Shelly, I just want to invite you to my house. I don't mean anything else."

"Invite? Why do I feel that you have kidnapped me? Tell me, what's your purpose? " A malicious look flashed through Shelly's eyes.

"Miss Shelly is really a forthright woman. I've heard that Miss Shelly is a world famous pharmacy expert and the only heir of the Su family. You must have the formula of the heartwarming pill." The man said straightforwardly.

"The formula of the heart warming pill has been lost for a long time. I don't have it." Shelly thought it over carefully. The heartwarming pill was the heirloom of the Su family. Outsiders didn't know it. Who was this man?

"Miss Shelly, I have plenty of time. You can stay here for a few days. You can leave when you hand over the formula."

"Who the hell are you?" Shelly looked at the man in front of her coldly.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that you are in my hand now." the man sneered, "somebody, entertain Miss Su well."

"Yes, sir."

On the second day, Leah went to the bookstore. She wanted to go to work in MZ City, but Lucian said that she hadn't fully recovered yet. She decided to have a rest at home. It was too boring to stay in the Great Garden all the time.

"Leah." A clear voice came to her ears.

"Jacob, why are you here?" Leah was surprised.

"I'm here to buy a book." Jacob waved the book in his hand.

Leah glanced at the book and was speechless.

"What books do you buy?" Jacob approached the bookshelf and saw the "Ferryman" in Leah's hand. His eyes froze.

"I like it very much." Leah shrugged.

Jacob's face returned to normal in an instant. "It's not easy to meet you. Let's go to have a cup of coffee together."

"Okay." Seeing the hesitation in Leah's eyes, Jacob picked up the book in her hand and went to the checkout counter.

"Two books together."

"You are really..." Leah frowned.

"Have a cup of coffee with me. I'll give you this book." Jacob raised his eyebrows.

"I can afford a book." Leah took the book and said, "Miss, I'll pay it myself."

"You are not cute." Jacob pouted.

In the cafe, Leah stirred the coffee in front of her and looked out of the window.

Jacob put two pieces of sugar in the coffee and asked, "Leah, did you cancel the engagement with Mr. Charlie?"

"What do you want to gossip about?" Leah glanced at the man in front of her. It was the first time that she had seen a man so addicted to sugar.

"No, I just care about you and see if I have the chance to be your boyfriend."

"Yes, I broke off the engagement with him, but you will never have the chance." Leah picked up the coffee and put it to her lips.

Now it was Jacob's turn to cry, "Why?"

"I don't like you."

"I will make you like it." Jacob didn't want to give up.

"I have someone I like. He is taller, more handsome and richer than you."

"Fine." Jacob sniffed with grievance.

After a moment's silence, he decided to change the topic. "Leah, I also like 'Ferryman'."

"Really?" Leah smiled.

"If I really exist, it must be because you need me." When Jacob said this, there was indescribable sadness in his eyes.
