Tim managed to escape to BL Alley. His life flashed before his eyes as he thought that death was imminent.
He managed to survive though. A smart woman saved his life, misled the enemies and came back to help him stop his wounds from bleeding.
But unfortunately, he was so exhausted that he couldn't lift his heavy eyelids. He vaguely saw a figure, and smelled the faint milky fragrance from the woman. Perhaps he was just starving at the time, so that thought engulfed his senses. It smelled like cream cake and that was all he concentrated on.
When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed. Vivian brought him a bowl of chicken soup that was cold and sour. It was very apparent that this woman was from the upper echelon of society. With her wealthy background, she definitely didn't look like she was used to housework at first glance.
Tim often went to the BL Alley since he had spent half a year in there, recovering from his injuries.
In the past, he had lived a life of risky business, riddled with gun violence. He was constantly paranoid even when he slept at night. He had to be on guard against the surroundings at all times.
He wanted to live a peaceful life after recuperating in the BL Alley. But for Vivian's sake, he had to continue to live the same life as before.
In fact, at the beginning, he liked Vivian and her scheming yet gentle nature. Even after finding out that she intended using him for her own gain, he didn't care.
Anyway, she was his woman, he would spoil her as long as he could. Moreover, he always thought that Vivian had saved him. He had to repay this favor and that meant helping her return to the Ye family.
However as time progressed, the initial attraction gradually faded. Without that blind affection, Tim began realizing that Vivian was not the person who had saved him.
He visited BL Alley more often in the hopes of one day meeting his savior and repaying her.
One day he thought that he finally found her. He saw a young girl with big bright eyes in the alley. He had never seen a woman's eyes so clear and captivating before.
He was sick of being a filthy person and longed eagerly for a clean soul. He couldn't stop himself from approaching this girl.
She looked like a timid rabbit. She was frightened as soon as he approached her. He couldn't help but wonder whether he was really that frightening.
It was the unfortunate truth. Everyone around him, no matter who it was, seemed afraid of him. Either their legs trembled or they keenly watched his every move in order to stay away from him.
The only two people who weren't scared of him were Vivian and Victor.
The faint fragrance of milk and sweetness radiated off the girl just like he smelled before. His tongue seemed to creep and lick his lips with how badly he wanted to taste it.
Of course he wasn't going to lick her or anything. She was too clean to be tainted.
Taking a lesson from falsely lauding Vivian before, he didn't want to get ahead of himself and assume that this girl was his savior. Instead, he sent Victor to follow her and investigate.
He wasn't expecting that this girl had something to do with John's wife though. That was the most troubling thing for him in all honesty.
Tim had no intention of ever crossing paths with John again. As long as they didn't interfere with each other, they could live in peace.
But he couldn't stay away from this sweet smell. He really wanted to get close to her and make her his woman.
Tim was lost in his own thoughts.
"Mr. Shen? Mr. Shen?" Victor called out, but didn't receive any acknowledgement. He raised his hands and clapped in front of Tim's eyes. Finally, Tim came back to his senses.
Being disturbed, Tim was ready to hit Victor for ruining his blissful thoughts.
"Speak!"
Victor grinned. "Mr. Shen, are you longing for love? Are you missing the girl? If you want, I'll tie her up and send her to your bed immediately."
"What? Who are you talking about? She has a name." Tim raised his leg and kicked Victor, annoyed.
Victor screamed in pain and jumped away from this horrible man. "I'm sorry.
Her name is Michelle He.
Can I call her Michelle, then?"
