Chapter 269 - Ready for the blacks (2/2)

He really did not know. But he felt she would not want to talk about it because it was probably related to how she had lived in the past and he did not want to push her into telling him what she did not want to say.

Her hands around his waist tightened. She also snuggled closer but remained quiet and did not say anything.

He took the hint and did not push further.

”Did you meet any of them?” He asked because he did not know who wanted the painting. They had been reaching him secretly through agencies who did not even know the person who wanted it. He believed if they threatened her then she must have met with them. It was the first step to know who wanted the painting and who dared to threaten his woman.

He would have started making plans to go after them immediately he noticed something was off with Sara, but he did not want to do anything that would probably put her in danger. It was the reason he simply decided to sell it ten times the original price.

She immediately shook her head. ”I did not meet them. I did not meet any of them.”

She thought it was better to leave it that way. She did not want Muchen to get involved with the members of the black.

He wanted to ask how they got through her but he simply let it slide.

”Do not worry sweetheart. I assure you... I won't let them get away with this. I will look for whoever dared to threaten you and deal with the person.”

”No!” Sara objected immediately and pulled away from the hug.

”Why?” He asked in surprise at her sudden outburst.

”Please... Do this for me. Just let them be.” She pleaded with her still teary eyes.

He sighed and scratched his head. How was he supposed to just let the person be like that? They had threatened her for crying out loud!

He did not want to do anything now but that did not mean he would not do something later. What if they begin to see his family as easy and come threaten her with something else? He did not want her to be placed in a tough spot because of him again.

”Please Muchen. I beg of you. Don't do anything.” She took his hands and pleaded earnestly.

She knew how those people were. Whether it was the Blacks or the Jins. She did not want him to get involved with any of them.

If anyone should get involved, it was her.

”Fine. It's okay. I won't do anything” He assured her and pulled her into a hug again.

”Do you know who wants to purchase it?” She finally asked him after he agreed.

She felt him shake his head before saying ”I have no idea.”

She sighed deeply. The only people who came to her mind were the Jins.

She was going to find out if the painting had gone to the Jin family. And no matter what, she was not going to let Muchen sell it. It was the only thing she could do to appease her conscience and Muchen right now.

She had to meet whoever wanted it but first, there was one person she needed to meet right away, it was Jin Cherry. The girl in the same etiquette class with her.

She was going to find out everything she wanted to know from her.

”Muchen?” She called again.

”Hmm..?”

”Do you trust me?”

He slowly pulled her away from the hug and looked at her eyes. ”I do. Why?”

”Then...do not sell it yet.”

His look turned to one of confusion. Right now, he could not read her or follow her train of thought.

”Why?”

She was about to say something when her phone rang.

When she checked to see it was a call from her father, she quickly answered it and heard her father's worried voice asking her to come home.

He also told her her aunt was back. She wondered whether something bad had happened to her aunt and that was why he sounded worried.

After kissing Muchen goodbye and declining his offer for a drive, she hurried out.

She was grateful for her father's call. It was a good excuse to leave without answering his question about why she did not want him to sell it yet.

Now, she was fully ready for the blacks.
