Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531 Long-time Acquaintance

"You got me." Hank's breath tickled Yelena's ears. "Fine, if you're not answering, then I won't ask." If he gets mad because of that, it'd be bad.

"We first met back in Yothgurd."

Yelena was taken back to the time when she was sixteen. Yothgurd. That's where I lived before I turned sixteen. The Sullivans were expanding their territory in Yothgurd, a city in the south, at that time. Not only did the south have big cities, it also had the gentle air of Damoria. Her elders loved traditional houses, so she stayed in a refurbished courtyard. "I don't remember…"

Hank looked at her with some disappointment in his eyes. "So, you don't remember me."

Yelena blushed. She had no recollection of ever meeting Hank. She thought he was making up a story.

"You were about fourteen and still a student. Do you remember running into a young lad on your way home from school one day?"

A lad? Yelena shook her head.

"I was vacationing with my folks back then, but the throng in Yothgurd separated us. While I was searching for my folks, I ran into a couple of kidnappers. They noticed my expensive clothes and tried to kidnap me." Even though he was almost kidnapped, Hank only had reminiscence in his eyes and no fear or trauma at all. "I saw a girl crossing the bridge, and I called out to her. 'Hey, Chubby! Help me!'"

Chubby… Wait a minute… Yelena stopped blushing, and a look of fury filled her eyes. Oh, I remember now. So that was him! Back in her junior high days, she gained a lot of weight and got a lot more rotund. Her classmates joked about it a lot, but it never got to her. Instead, it fed her ferocity. When she heard that boy calling her Chubby, she flew into a rage.

She was just fourteen back then, yet she was already five-foot-five. She was almost as tall as the kidnappers. She grabbed the kidnapper by her shirt and precociously said, "Hold on, miss." Yelena cleared her throat and hissed, "I have some personal business to settle with this brat." She shot Hank with a murderous glare.

Upset by this sudden interloping, the kidnapper tried to chase her away.

"Your son is an incredibly rude boy. He called me Chubby! I know I'm overweight, but he shouldn't have said that to a girl like me. I need to teach him a lesson on respect."

That was a good reason. Hank wanted the girl to buy him some time, so he just watched the drama unfold.

"It's just a misunderstanding, girl. Just ignore it. I can apologize if you want."

There was a crowd gathering around them, and the kidnappers were getting nervous. If the boy's parents came looking for him, they would send the kidnappers to jail.

"No." Yelena stood in front of the kidnappers, refusing them passage.
