Chapter 274 - City Hunter (1/2)
”Why did you marry mum?”
”I heard grandparents liked her. Were you forced to marry her?”
Sara asked him both questions simultaneously.
He scratched his head awkwardly before saying to her.
”Sara...there are a whole lot of things you need to know. I know I have been wrong to have kept a lot from you. But I had done all of that to protect you.”
”I am aware. And I appreciate. But now, I am an adult. I should be protecting you now” She corrected him.
As much as he wanted to tell Sara everything, he wanted to clear everything with the woman who was currently sleeping in his room first
He only had a question for her— whether or not she regretted abandoning their child.
He knew that was an insensitive question to ask at a time like this. But he wanted to know. To know whether she regretted it.
He knew she was young back then. But if a woman could abandon her day old child, then she was not fit to be a mother.
If she did regret it, then there was no point in him hiding it anymore. He was going to tell her about Sara and also tell Sara about her.
But if she did not feel remorse, then he would have to pretend like she did not exist. And he was never going to raise the issue to Sara.
It is okay to think she was mad at him for the message she received through the mail. But to think she was bold enough to abandon their child, he was never going to forgive her for that.
He only wanted her to wake up on time so they could properly talk about that.
”Dad?” Sara called again when she noticed he was lost in thought.
”Give me a little time. Whatever question you have, all you need to do is to ask. I will provide every answer for you. But just a little time.” He pleaded with her.
Sara could not help but sigh.
She really did have questions: Why did he marry her mother? Why did he mess with her real age? And who was the child Changyu had abandoned?
Although, a lot of people had said she had a low EQ, she was not dumb. She could put two and two together to see that there were some ties between Changyu and herself but she did not want to jump into conclusion just yet.
Since he said he needed time, she was going to give him even though she was curious to death right now.
”Two days. That's all I can give. You have to tell me everything after two days. Else, I will pester you to death.” She threatened.
She did not want to waste much time there because she had things to attend to.
She was to meet with whoever Snake wanted her to meet in the address he had slipped into her hoodie's pocket.
Jianjun nodded to her words. Now, everything was in Changyu's hands— whether he decides to tell Sara a lie or the truth, it all depended on Changyu now.
Sara finally smiled when she saw him nod. ”It's settled then. I'll be out for a while.”
She did not wait for her father to ask where she was going to. She knew if she gave him the chance, he was likely going to ask about what had happened last night and so she quickly took off after getting some stuff from inside the room.
She followed the address to a clubhouse.
She was careful to wear a face mask and baseball cap to hide her face from the public.
When she got to the entrance, the bouncers looked at her weirdly before refusing to let her in.
They wondered how a girl could dress in a Jean, sweater and baseball cap to enter inside a top night club like this. Was this a joke?
Two ladies successfully entered and as Sara looked at the way they were dressed, she finally realised why the bouncers had not allowed her in.
She thought they were only doing her job and so she did not make trouble. She quickly took out her phone and placed a call to Marcus since his number was the only one she had amongst every Black member.
But before it even started to ring, she heard Snake's voice behind her, at the entrance of the club.
”Oh Hi. You're here early. Let's go in.”
He smiled at the three hefty bouncers to let them know she was with him.
They had obvious looks of surprise on their faces to see that their VVIP customer was acquainted with the strange looking girl who had a face mask hanging on one ear.
For show, Snake walked towards Sara and placed a hand on her shoulder to lead her in but she was quick to push his hand away.
After glaring at him, she marched inside.
The bouncers looked at her in even more shock. They could not believe that the little girl dared to ignore him like that. He was money.
And they had heard rumours that he was the new owner of Grand Castle Hotel even though he frequented this club.
There was a sudden glint in Snake's eyes when he saw Sara's reaction. He knew that something had definitely changed in her and he was curious to know what had happened with her.
Sara slowed her pace and allowed Snake lead the way.
They both took the large hallway which seemed awfully quiet except for the people who moved about.
She saw the grand door by her right open and when two people came out, she heard the loud buzz of music and saw the different colors of lights inside the club with people dancing around.
They kept walking and soon, they used an elevator.
She had only been to a club once and it was nothing like this. So she was slightly curious whether the clubs of the 'super rich' were usually like this.
Soon, they arrived at the second floor and swiped his card at the door to his private room.
Immediately they entered, she saw a young lady already sitting there. She looked to be in her mid twenties also.
