“If she does love you, I will give up and never bother you again.”
Bella said stoutly.
Felix nodded.
“Fine, remember what you said.”
Then he got up from the sofa.
“I'll send someone to teach you something that will help you get closer to Zaccardi in the future. Concentrate on your studies and don’t get distracted.”
Then he walked out.
Bella stood there looking at his receding figure with some sadness.
She could not help but dream of being his wife.
Then she suddenly asked, “Felix, can I ask you one more question?”
Felix stopped and turned to look at her, frowning.
“Say it.”
Bella gulped back her tears and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you?”
She was desperately eager for an affirmative answer from him, even if he just saw her as a pawn.
But the truth was, she didn’t get the answer she was looking for.
Because he didn’t care about her, much less what she would do.
He just said faintly, “If you are capable of winning his heart, it doesn’t matter if you betray me or not.”
Then he left without looking back.
Bella stood still for a long time and she failed to understand his words.
It didn’t matter if she betrayed him?
Did she mean nothing to him?
Bella could feel the prick of tears in her eyes. Then she crouched down, buried her face in her hand, and wept.
Time flew.
When she was tired of crying, she got up and wended her way out.
Meanwhile, a different story was unfolding.
It was already late at night, Queeny was going to turn off the lights and go to bed, after sending Ella away.
Just then there was some noise outside the window.
She was a professional killer with unusual vision and hearing.
It was just a slight sound, but she noticed it. Then she opened her eyes and looked towards the window, “Who’s there?”
Then the window opened and a black shadow slipped in.
The image of her previous car accident came crowding into her mind. Unconsciously, she reached under her pillow to grope for her darts.
The black shadow darted into the room and did nothing, perhaps because he hadn’t adapted himself to the darkness.
Just then Queeny picked up her darts and threw them out at him.
He was startled and then quickly dodged them.
Queeny was shocked by his agility. She felt her injuries would put her at risk if she continued to fight with him, so she was going to call for help.
At that moment, he seemed to guess her intentions and sprang towards her bed.
