Chapter 181 (1/2)

All stafftheir breath

Mason, who had entered the storage facility, looked cohteningly indifferent expression It didn’t feel weird to call hianization

A rustling sound could be heard from inside and Mason’s sharp eyes slowly scanned the area Chase, as hiding inside the storage, held his breath when he heard the footsteps co closer

The sound of shoe heels stepping on the ground was especially loud The footstep echoed fro, and that moment–

A se Mason frowned and took out his cellphone to answer the call

“…-No, wait outside a little longer I think a rat had snuck in”

He said lowly and walked a few more steps

“I don’t knohere it is except it is still inside”

Chase stiffened and sed at the footsteps sounding very close to him A woman’s voice could be heard frohtly

“No”

Chase rolled his eyes as if thinking, ‘Should I rush out and attack the opponent now?’ and suddenly his eyes stilled

Click, a cold sound echoed through the still air

“……”

Chase slowly turned his head Mason was looking down at him from above with a cold expression

“… Have you ever seen me miss a rodent?”

Mason replied indifferently and cut off his cellphone Chase stared at hi stopped

“–CUT!”

Vick shouted with a very satisfied face Mason raised his head, and Chase wiped his sweat and panted Mason held out his hand so that it was easier for him to stand up

“Prepare for the next scene right away! We are starting in 5 minutes!”

Gloria and the staff prepared the next scene and put together a series of breakdowns

“Ah, I really felt like I got caught while hiding”

Chase showed the goose buhed appropriately Chase drank soiven him and cautiously added–

“Yesterday-… I’ to Mr Raycarlton’s house and acted so recklessly”

“Ah No, thank you… For even saying that”

If he didn’t say let’s watch Die Hard, all four series in a row, he would probably have gone to his house In fact, Mason was a bit regretful now

‘If I know you aren't Haley Lusk…, what are you gonna do?’

When Noah whispered, Mason’s head stopped for a second When he had asked ‘why are you doing this to et, ‘I knoho you are,’ as an answer

‘Are you crazy?’

Mason hid his cohts and asked Noah tilted his head like he was puzzled, and stepped back and smiled

‘You speak like you didn’t know’

Noah said, 'Didn't you seein the elevator,' like a joke Mason called him, ‘Mr Raycarlton’

‘You are not serious, right? I’m not Haley Lusk?’

Mason pointed at hier However you see it, he was Haley Lusk; there was no denying it He may have dyed his hair for the moment so it was not blond, but the pale face, well-rounded eyebrows, skinny and tall appearance, and also the beautiful hands; there was nowhere that wasn’t Haley Lusk

But Noah replied as if he ondering–

‘Why? You don’t yourself think that you are hiding it properly?’

‘You did not even try too hard to hide, didn't you?’ –Noah pointed out to look at himself

‘……’

What Noah said wasn’t wrong He hio to the clubs, do drugs or drink alcohol He wore clothes that Haley won’t even look at and kicked out Haley’s relatives and cut his ties off with his junky friends

In fact, he did not plan on living as Haley Lusk Fro to start a new life and not be loutish like Haley Heahis own café and living in ease

‘Hiding or not-… I really don’t knohat you are talking about’

Mason said while looking a little annoyed

‘Usually, don’t people think that the person’s personality has changed? You are really i that I killed Haley, underwent plastic surgery and is now acting like him?’

‘Like in a ely instead of answering him

‘Yesterday and today, did you act weirdly because of that reason? Because I seemed like a different person?’

Mason scratched his head saying, ‘I really don’t knohat’s going on’

‘I really don’t kno that can be the reason I’m just an amnesiac’

‘Ever since I died and ca to live properly’ –Mason sounded perplexed and Noah smiled like he expected that answer

‘You talk too h there was no need’

Noah turned around and walked towards the helicopter

‘Don’t be scared I didn’t say that to scare you I just answered since you were curious about why I’ like this’

He said airily as if nothing had happened

‘Don’t think toothat you don’t understand’

Mason stared at Noah’s back Several dozen steps ahead, Phil aiting for them inside the helicopter Noah walked up to the helicopter and turned back to look at Mason, as still standing at the same spot

‘…’

Mason stared at Noah The gloas darker than a while ago Mason looked back towards the fil set

He was sure Noah knew so He wasn’t sure howHe had met him before at his house, and sometimes he had made a crap out of himself

Working as ainto a life-or-death crisis that if he didn’t feel good about soht away and run away Nothing could possibly go wrong, but he thought turning around right now and running away could be his last chance to lead a peaceful life

‘……’

When he turned around again, he caught Noah staring at his profile He didn’t say, ‘Coether and stared at him

Exactly like the stare he gave hio

“… I shouldn’t have gone to that side…”

Mason mumbled, and Chase asked, “Pardon?” Mason shook his hand to denote it was nothing

Yesterday, Mason thought it would be dangerous of hiot on the helicopter anyway He didn’t know anything yet, and it wasn’t easy to throay everything and run away in that situation Especially when it was nearly ih all the paparazzi that were surrounding the area It wasn’t as if he couldn’t do it if he wanted to, but it wouldn’t be easy

And……, his feet didn’t o, when he’d left Noah and the mansion behind

Ten years ago, Mason wasn’t in his right hter and had chopped off the murderer, who had killed thee ended too quickly The only thing Mason could do at that time was to either destroy himself or destroy someone else

Mason was about to leave for Afghanistan when he got an opportunity to work as a bodyguard for a ain; the small child he once saved in a dirty restroom

The one-month passed very fast Ziii and Noah’s parents offered an extension, but Mason fir care of Noah, Mason had forgotten about his dead wife and child

Mason had groeak towards that beautiful boy He wasn’t his family or a lover, but he wanted to take care of hihtmares, his hand unconsciously reached out to him When he wiped the sweat and brushed his hair, Noah had quietly opened his eyes and soon went back to sleep with relief, which had felt good The fact that Mason can be soave hiet about his wife and child and move on with his life, but it was too early then He felt like he should be sadder and more in pain

It was easy to decide to quit the bodyguard job, but it was not as easy to say goodbye to Noah when the actual tioodbye and left the room and as he walked down the second and first floor stairs, and finally left the rew heavier and harder

He was not the only person who could protect Noah; there were probably plenty of people anted to protect him –He knew it rationally, but Mason felt like the 17-year-old Noah was still the seven year old kid, who held his clothes asking not to leave

‘An existence that could die if he leaves’ –Well, it was a thought if Noah finds out, he ry, but back then that’s how he felt
