Chapter 410 - Four Hundred And Ten: The Father Of Her Child Is A Crazy Man (2/2)
Judging from their interaction, Emerald could tell they did prior investigation before coming here. So the idea of Cecil having a husband was foreign to them.
”If you say so, then we would love to have a one on one conversation with your wife,” the other faked a smile to him.
Emerald rolled his eyes towards heaven, did they take him for a fool. He had a feeling that whatever business these people had with Cecil, it was connected to that strange call she had received that day.
”What do you want with my wife?”
”I'm sorry but it's private,”
”My wife's business is my business and vice versa,” He insisted.
”I'm sorry but it's your wife we need and if you could let us access to her, we would have a few talks with her and be on our way. No harm done,” the other claimed.
”Still don't care, you're not going anywhere until you tell me what is it that is so important that you seek my wife alone,”
”It's orders from above sir and I'm sorry that we have to do this forcefully,” He charged at Emerald thinking that the man was all brute but no skills.
However, the man was surprised that Emerald was able to swipe off his hand that had gone to his stomach - a vital weak point. Everyone knew it was not advisable to go head-on with a man of such massive height, rather disable him from the chest down. Emerald then punched the daylight out of him just as the other man aimed at him.
However, the giant turned around on time to catch him, ramming his fist into his stomach and forced him to his knees. Emerald grabbed his shoulder and applied pressure as he questioned, ”What do you want from my wife?!”
”Nothing!”
But Emerald didn't buy that, rather he increased the pressure on his arms, ”One more question and if you don't answer, I'll break your arm?” he threatened.
”Fine, fine,” the man couldn't endure the pain anymore, ”I'll tell you!”
”I'm waiting,”
”We are here to take Lady Cecil,”
”What do you mean take her?”
”Her father Vincent wants her home but she's been ignoring him ever since….men easy on the arm!” he complained mid-way, ”Are you a gangster or what?”
”Yes, I am,” Emerald concurred, watching with wicked delight the way the man paled, ”Now continue,”
”He sent us to get her home by all means! We were here to take her!”
Oh. Emerald realized what they had come to do. A smile that didn't touch his eyes showed on his face as he leaned to whisper into the guard's ear, ”Tell Vincent or whoever he thinks he is that Cecil would not take a step a foot into that disgusting family. He chased off his daughter eighteen years ago, let it remain that way,” he pushed away from the man who lay on the floor moaning in pain.
Emerald went back into the room just in time for Cecil to pull him into a hug.
”ThankGod,” She kissed him on the cheeks, relieved, ”Who were those?”
”The ones came to take you to your father's place,” He exposed her.
Cecil's face fell, he found out.
”When were you planning on telling me?”
”Because it was none of your business? It's family business, Emerald” She emphasized, taking a step back.
Emerald wanted to retort yet ordered instead, ”You're not going anywhere,”
”You don't get to conclude for me. I am a legal adult and have the right to make decisions for myself. You have no right to interfere with my life, Emerald!”
”Yes, I have no right,” He agreed, yet added, ”But then, it becomes my business because you're having my child,” He pointed to his stomach.
”Our child,” Cecil corrected the impression.
”Exactly. Which is why I'm protecting you,”
”No, you're restricting me!”
”Fine, you can go if that would satisfy your stubborn ass, but I'm coming with you,” He gave her the condition while Cecil's jaw dropped. No one told her the father of her child was a crazy man.
