She Killed My Ex novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Be My Girlfriend

Caroline was forcibly brought outside by Antonio.

She could hear the bustling noise from the night market and small vendors were hawking from time to time. Antonio was holding her hand. She wasn't used to being led away like that. But that person who was holding her seemed to be stubborn. She avoided Antonio with excuses a few times and yet he smiled and grabbed onto her hand again.

They were walking through the night market and the food around smelled so good.

Caroline walked slowly but Antonio didn't rush her.

She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her who was holding her hand. She looked at the back of Antonio which was strong and tall. He didn't urge her to move faster nor say a word. But she saw that he slowed down automatically.

There were a lot of people in the night market. Since it was the weekend, there were even more people and many couples around.

In that surging crowd, a handsome man was seen to be leading an unattractive woman, moving slowly in that crowd.

That made them a compelling combination.

Caroline subconsciously wanted to avoid all those eyes that were looking at her. She hated them so much.

She thought to herself, "Can you all stop looking at me?"

"Can you all stop looking at me in this way?"

Those gazes seemed to be cutting through her flesh and going into her bones.

She couldn't stand it.

"Let me go! Let me go!" She tried to remove her hand desperately and said, "Mr. Tucker, just let me go!"

"Please!"

Her voice was coarse and she seemed to roar with all of her strength!

Her wrist turned red by her twisting, her tone finally sounded like she was begging instead of roaring.

Caroline looked at Antonio while he also turned to look at her. Suddenly, Antonio let go of her hand. Before Caroline could breathe a sigh of relief, Antonio wrapped her hand tightly again. This time, he was holding her tighter than before. Caroline could feel a strong man force from Antonio's palm.

"Don't be bothered. They are nobody." While Antonio was talking, he suddenly pulled Caroline to his side with his palm. In the next second, he hugged Caroline tightly. Then, he raised his head to look around and said, "What are you all looking at? Have you never seen a couple walking on the street?"

The scrutinizing gazes around were restrained a lot by Antonio's loud reprimand.

"Let's get some food." Antonio put his arms around Caroline's shoulders firmly. Then, she was led by him and walked into a small alley.

In the alley, there was a beef noodle shop. The shop wasn't as refined as the other shops and it looked old. Antonio forced Caroline to walk into the shop in his arms and said, "Sir, two bowls of beef noodles."

"Little Tonio, you seem free today?" The shopkeeper was an old man in his 50s with a little gray hair. He smiled all the time and he was very friendly. Seeing Antonio coming in, he quickly put his work away and wiped his palms on the bib. Then, he served hot water to Antonio and Caroline.

"Who is this?"

"I'm a friend," Caroline said.

Antonio smiled and answered, "Girlfriend." Then, he raised his head, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "Hudson, isn't my girlfriend looking good?"

Caroline was in a daze when she heard the word "girlfriend".

She was at a loss and looked at Antonio who was chatting with Hudson. Hudson looked very friendly.

"Hudson, don't listen to Antonio."

"Well, this girl isn't bad. Her facial features are decent, but she is too thin."

Caroline was stunned and looked at Hudson confusingly again. She couldn't help but wonder how did that man feel that she had a decent appearance?

Three years ago, Caroline might look beautiful. But now, she looked much old and tired.

"Little Tonio, let me get you the beef noodles."

"That's nonsense. I am not..."

Caroline wanted to explain, but Hudson had walked away. Then, she was stunned for a while.

"Hello... Hey...Do you really like daydreaming that much?"

Caroline came back to her senses when she heard that pleasant yet teasing male voice. She looked at that handsome face on the opposite side. Suddenly, she found something strange. She called out softly and awkwardly, "Little Tonio?"

The mischievous hand that Antonio was teasing Caroline left hanging in the air. His ears turned red and he explained hurriedly, "Don't listen to Hudson. When I was young, my family didn't allow me to eat snacks. My diet was very strict. I love to come to Hudson's place and have a bowl of beef noodles secretly."

"Let me tell you. Hudson's family has been making beef noodles for generations. I heard that it has been available since the emperor's time. You won't get the same taste outside."

"Little Tonio." A smile appeared on Caroline's face. At that moment, she had a trace of the innocent look which she was three years ago.

Antonio was embarrassed. His face turned red from his ears to his neck. He was nervous and said, "Hudson is older than me, but you are not. Don't call me the same way as Hudson. Just call me Tonio."

Caroline declined to comment. Then, Hudson brought two bowls of hot beef noodles to the table and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Let me know if it's not enough." Then, he specifically instructed Antonio, "Ask your girlfriend to eat more. She is so skinny. How can a good boyfriend let that happen?"

"I am not his girlfriend..."

"All right. All right." Antonio interrupted Caroline halfway and urged Hudson to leave with a smile, "Hudson, carry on with your work. My girlfriend and I need some private moments here. Are you trying to peep at us?"
