Chapter 142 - What Do You Want To Talk About? (1/2)

”Brother Chris!” Merry automatically flinched away from the car's door. Her face was pale and her voice trembled with panic. Why was Chris there?!

From the driver's seat, Clifford was not surprised at all to see Chris. He knew that Chris had a good relationship with Felix Darmawan, so his boss's best friend was definitely coming tonight.​​

”Young Master Chris.” Clifford greeted the man with respect.

Chris glanced at Clifford coldly. He just nodded before turning his gaze back to Merry.

Chris narrowed his eyes and said, ”Get out of the car and come with me!”

Merry froze for a moment, trying to digest Chris's order. But the man turned around and started walking away without looking back. Merry hastily jumped out of the car. She glanced regretfully at the screen of her phone before slipping it into her pocket. Merry still wanted to continue playing, but she didn't dare to make Chris even more angry!

Clifford watched the two young people walk away in silence. The head of Jean's security team took a deep breath before starting to light a cigarette. He blew the smoke through the open car's window.

Clifford knew Chris had special feelings for Merry and that feeling made him act childish in front of Merry. He sighed and felt like a father watching his daughter being approached by a boy.

Merry panted as she ran and caught up with Chris. The man's legs were much longer than Merry's and so he walked faster. The night wind blew hard, making Merry's body, which was only wrapped in a T-shirt and jeans, trembling with cold. Even though she had moved her body, it was not enough to dispel the cold.

Merry shot Chris a desperate look. She didn't know where the man wanted to go, because they were getting further away from the mansion. The night wind blew again as Merry embraced herself.

The young woman was so focused on keeping herself warm that she didn't notice that Chris had stopped walking.

”Ow!” Merry staggered backwards when she accidentally bumped into Chris's back.

”What the hell? Watch where you are walking…!” Chris turned around and started scolding Merry, but his words were interrupted when he saw Merry's shaking body, ”Why don't you wear a jacket?” Chris asked, frowning.

Merry only frowned without answering. Actually, she had already brought a jacket and intended to put it on, but she left it in the car in her rush to chase after Chris. Merry didn't dare to make an annoyed Chris wait for her!

Merry looked away from Chris and then looked around them. The two of them stood on the small meadow that laid near the parking lot. There were several wooden tables scattered across the field. Each table was equipped with a large umbrella to keep out the sun. But at this time, the umbrellas were tied closed, revealing a star-filled night sky that was no less beautiful than the painting Sasha had bought earlier.

Merry's mind was broken when her body was covered by something warm. She turned to find Chris had his party coat on Merry's shoulders. The man's movements were gentle, in contrast to his irritated expression. Merry pulled the jacket tighter and whispered her thanks.

”Um… Brother Chris is here for a fundraising event?” Merry asked awkwardly.

”So it is.” Chris replied curtly as he stepped away from the woman.

”Oh…” Merry stole a glance at Chris and saw that the man's expression was still annoyed, ”Um… Brother Chris, what do you want to talk to me about?”

”There is nothing!” Chris replied even more curtly.

”Oh ...” Merry could only repeat his answer with a confused face. Then why did Chris bring her all the way here?!

Merry lowered her head to hide her sullen face. She started playing with the buttons of the party suit she was wearing.

The silence between them was only intermittently broken by the sound of the wind blowing.

Chris finally broke the silence with a small cough and made Merry look up, ”What's the name of the game you played with Clifford earlier?” Chris asked in a serious tone.

Merry stared wide-eyed at Chris. She didn't understand why that man had dragged her all the way here just to ask about the game!

But Chris acted as if he didn't notice her surprise. If Merry liked the game so much, she'd use it as an opportunity to get closer to Merry! Chris was determined to find the game and play with the woman. He didn't want to see Merry having a good time with another man!

Merry finally recovered from the shock and a smile appeared on her lips, ”Brother Chris wants to know? So this is an online game…” Merry started explaining the game at length with great enthusiasm. Her shining eyes were no less beautiful than the stars in the night sky.

After nearly 15 minutes of listening to Merry's story, Chris's head was full of absurd information. Why did kings from different centuries meet? Why did they all have special abilities that don't make sense?

”Brother Chris, are you listening to me?” Merry asked, leaning closer.
