My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1689

However, Yesseca did not feel anything.

The moment the wolf was about to bite her head off, it fell to the ground. At the same time, blood splattered over her face.

She did not know what to say.

She could only stare blankly at the dead wolf.

"W-What's going on?" she asked.

"It's dead." Tremaine raised the gun in his hand.

Only then did she realize that he was holding a gun.

Looking at the wolf on the ground, she asked, "Did you shoot the wolf?"

"That's right."

"Why wasn't there a gunshot?"

"I have a silencer."

"Why do you have a gun?"

Before he could reply, Yesseca answered, "Of course, you would have a gun. You're the president's bodyguard,"

This time, it was Tremaine who was rendered speechless.

He changed the topic. "We should leave as soon as possible."

She nodded.

It was true that they had to get out of here. Although they had just avoided a wolf, who knew what they would encounter later? They might not be as lucky if they met another wild animal.

Just as they were about to leave, she looked up to take a look at him.

At this moment, rays of the sun shone through the mosaic network of leaves in the canopy above them, falling onto Tremaine's body. He looked like a deity.

She shuddered at the thought of the appearance of a wolf, but he was not afraid at all. It proved that he was courageous as he only pulled the trigger when the wolf was jumping towards them.

Although it might be safer to fire before it pounced, he might not be able to shoot it.

Yesseca couldn't help but ask, "Why weren't you afraid when you saw that wolf just now?"

Tremaine squinted at her and said, "Do you think I am the same as you?"

It rendered her speechless.

She couldn't help but stick out her tongue. "It was a normal reaction from a normal person. Do you think many aren't afraid of wild animals like you?"

A glint flashed through his eyes. "Wild animals aren't that scary."

She asked, "Why not?"

"Human hearts are way more terrifying," he said softly.

The whole reason why he was being attacked was because of a traitor in his party.

The human heart is wicked above all else.

She was about to agree with him because he made sense.

But then, she remembered something.

He had installed surveillance cameras in her room.

She had almost forgotten about it since they had been through many things in the past 24 hours.

Yesseca stopped in her tracks.

Tremaine glanced at her and said, "Why aren't you walking?"

She raised her head and glanced at him.

He was still basking in the sunlight and still as handsome as always, but he was no deity to her.

She whispered, "Let's go,"

Just as they were about to exit the forest, the leader, who was in a military uniform, immediately walked over to them and greeted Tremaine.

It was Sheldon.

He looked relieved to see them. "Sir, it's a good thing that we have found you."

After saying that, he looked at Yesseca in surprise.

Since when did Tremaine have a woman beside him?

However, she did not greet Sheldon.

Usually, she would have said hello.

But she was not in the mood at that moment.
