The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 106

He seldom talked to Austin in this way.

"Austin." After a moment of hesitation, he softened his tone and said, "sometimes, life is not so easy as it takes. To be able to live a peaceful life with Joan in the rest of our lives, we must deal with such a mess in front of us."

His tone was meaningful. People who understood him could understand what he meant.

He understood what he meant. He still remembered the result of the impulsion in the army. He knew that after these years with Darren, he had grown up gradually. And he also knew that if he had treated it in a different way, the ending would be very different.

Like the other girl who feared nothing and could help her friends at any time, Linda was the second him.

With his arms on the doorknob, he slowed down in an instant when he thought that he had to face the woman named Lola Qi later. But soon he resumed his countenance.

Just like everything was fine.

It was just like when they were in the past, walking and sharing good things every day.

His calm was broken by the call. "Darren Lu, I suppose you know Joan Gu very well, don't you?"

"Who are you?"

Darren put him on speaker. His vulgar voice came from the other end of the line. "I don't want to talk about who I am. You should know why we kidnapped her. I don't ask for the amount of money. You assume this woman is important to you. You give me a number."

This wasn't an ordinary kidnap. The kidnapper did it on purpose. He wanted Darren to know that maybe they were his old friends or business opponents.

It was by no means a simple kidnap.

His voice was muffled by a piece of cloth over the phone, which made his voice even hoarse.

"Before I go there, if you dare to hurt her, no matter who you are or who is behind you, I will definitely make you get out of S City and never come back."

It had been a long time since the last time they heard Darren getting angry. His stern voice made Jean's face look ghastly pale.

He still cared about this woman in the end.

"I'd like to see who he will choose to give up when his new love and old love ask for help at the same time."

Jean winked at the man, and the two of them told him the wrong address as they had agreed.

"Joan, do you think he will agree to everything I want to do to save you?" She asked deliberately because she knew that Darren wouldn't come.

She didn't want to know any romantic love story. Now she just wanted to see a joke.

Joan sat up straight and looked at her. "You know nothing about love. I have nothing to say to you."

"You know what I want besides money, status, handbags of famous brand and luxury clothes? What does Darren want the most? " She paused for a moment. On the first day she moved into the Lu family, she had said, "what I want is not a powerful ATM that can give me a safe and comfortable life, but a warm and considerate husband who knows my feelings."

The life she wanted was not so ups and downs like this. An ordinary life was as rare as a luxury.

"Husband? Ordinary?! Miss Gu, I'm so glad to hear that! You are in such a low spirits now. There must be a reason. What did you know? What did you see? Why did you come here from so far away? And why are you caught by me? " Jean smiled scornfully and said, "at this moment, where is your ordinary and great husband?"

Although she had been away for more than a day, she still believed that Darren had never given up looking for her. But her deliberate dodge made him unable to find the object for a while.

"He knows that I'm imprisoned by you, and in the hands of a vicious woman like you, he will surely come to save me!"

If I lost the confidence, my long-standing devotion to him would be in vain. Moreover, she had already known that he could help her when they were strangers back then, not to mention the pregnant lover.

How could he sit there and do nothing?

She still refused to be convinced. "Miss Gu and Mr. Lu are a good couple. You can rest assured that I'm not that greedy. I will let you and Mr. Lu leave safely once I get what I want."

What she wanted was not simple. Was there an ambush here?

Joan stretched out her neck and looked around the buildings.

As a professional designer, the design structure here was the simplest and flattest, and there was no place to hide. Seeing this, she was gradually relieved.
