Chapter 24 - Fate Brought Us Together (2/2)

There's no point in lying to her, but that didn't mean he could just let her go like that.

”Can I talk to you privately?” Hero asked after a long silence between them.

Joanna nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

”I'll just check on Amber and to make sure everything's packed. I will leave the two of you.” She then glared at her brother. ”Don't you dare to leave without us. I already told Amber that you're going today,” she said before leaving.

A shiver run down on Luna's spine. She didn't like being alone with this man, and she hated that he could affect her just by looking at her.

”Luna Jiang,” Hero tested her name, and he liked how her name sounds. ”What a beautiful name.”

”This is just a coincidence. I didn't plan to meet you this way,” Luna said. Her heartbeat finally calmed down.

”I know,” Hero replied, ”And I didn't expect meeting you here, Luna. Don't you think fate brought us together?”

”As if!”

”Oh? You don't think so?” Hero fought the urge to laugh at her flustered state. Now that destiny gave him a chance, he would never miss this opportunity to get her.

Who would have thought that the woman Amber liked was the same woman he was trying to chase? If all works as he planned, she would fall for him anytime soon, and that was thanks to his daughter.

”I told you it's just a coincidence. If it wasn't for your daughter, I wouldn't be here.” Luna had enough of him and decided to leave before everything got out of hand.

Hero's eyes narrowed. There's no second time for her! She couldn't just leave him like this. He moved swiftly, pushing her on the nearest wall and trapping her by hitting his hand on a wall to surprise her. The smile on his face vanished as he glared down at her. There was no escaping this time.

Oh, dear. What should she do?
