Chapter 398 I Want You To Love Me
Yuliana looked at Wesley in a daze and said, “Thank you.”
If it weren’t for Wesley, she wouldn’t have known what to do.
“Yuliana, I don’t need your thanks.” Wesley smiled as if he was thinking highly of himself.
However, the smile soon disappeared. He stretched out his arms to hug Yuliana. Then, he put his chin against her head and continued, “Yuliana, I love you very much. I will do anything for you.”
He lowered his head and kissed Yuliana’s forehead. “I don’t need you to thank me. I just want you to love me.”
Listening to his words, Yuliana was greatly touched. Although Wesley had expressed his feelings for her a long time ago, when she heard him say this to her sincerely, her heart still beat uncontrollably.
This was the most touching confession she had ever heard.
Yuliana wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, she whispered, “Okay, I will never thank you again.”
Wesley let go of her and said, “Yuliana, I have to go now.”
“Now?” Yuliana was stunned.
Wesley nodded. “Yes.”
“Take care of yourself.” After saying this, Yuliana pursed her lips and kissed him.
Wesley pressed her neck to deepen the kiss, but he let go soon after. “My men will be here soon. Don’t leave the room until they come, okay?”
“I know.”
“I’ll get going then.”
Wesley took a deep look at Yuliana, turned around, opened the door, and left quickly.
Yuliana stood there and looked at the closed door. Only then did she have the presence of mind to think about what had happened that night.
She walked to the window and looked outside.
The chaos last night had subsided, but it was still different from when she came to the town yesterday. Two policemen were patrolling around nearby, and there were fewer people on the street than yesterday. The people even looked very cautious.
Some tourists were carrying large and small bags. Most of them were asked by the police on the street.
Wesley was right. The town would be under strict control these two days.
Yuliana originally planned to leave Lofbury in the afternoon and fly back to Juxshire at night.
Looking at the situation, there was no way for her to leave.
Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at Christopher who was on the bed.
The expression on her face gradually faded away.
The memory of last night came to her mind. She was panicked and embarrassed.
She was very afraid that Christopher would die.
Ever since she was a child, Yuliana had never been so afraid of anything.
At the moment, Yuliana hoped that Christopher wouldn’t die. She seemed to be completely grasped by a kind of fear. She had forgotten about her reason and calmness. She didn’t even know how she dared to open the door to face the three men.
Yuliana took a deep breath before walking into the bathroom.
Standing in front of the mirror by the sink, she was still wearing the black nightgown with a casual knitted coat over it. Her hair was simply tied with a leather band on the back of her head, but it was messy
Yuliana’s hands, nails, and even her chest were stained with dried blood.
Her face was a mess, her dark circles were showing, and her eyes were swollen because she didn’t sleep at
all Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
After examining herself, Yuliana unscrewed the faucet, cleaned herself up bit by bit, and tied her hair again.
The two men arranged by Wesley soon arrived.
One of them was Blake.
“Ms. Livingstone, Mr. Duncan asked me to bring these to you.” Blake handed Yuliana the things in his hand and continued, “There’s breakfast in it. I bought it after looking in several stores, but the taste might not be good. After what happened last night, the town was still in chaos, and many shops were
still closed. You just have to eat these. There are also some medicines, which Mr. Duncan had specially ordered. The usage and dosage had been written. If you don’t know how to do it, you can call me at any time. I’m just next door.”
“Okay, thank you!” Yuliana took the things and thanked him.
Blake smiled. “Ms. Livingstone, you don’t have to be nice to me. This is what I do. We will go back to our room first. You should have breakfast while it’s hot.”
Yuliana nodded and watched them enter the next room. Then, she closed the door and turned around.
For breakfast, there was oatmeal and several snacks.
Yuliana didn’t eat much last night. After a whole night, her stomach had already been empty. In addition, the temperature in the mountain was low, so she felt that her limbs were stiff and cold. After a bowl of hot oatmeal, she felt comfortable.
After breakfast, Yuliana thought for a while and contacted Thomas.
When she called, Thomas was busy.
“Ms. Livingstone, I’m so sorry. Something unexpected happened in town last night. I can’t leave now. Can I come to you later?”
Yuliana asked, “Thomas, what happened last night? Why are there so many policemen on the street today?” “It’s not a big deal. It’s just some thieves in the town who have stolen from several houses. Now, the police are just capturing the thieves.” Thomas pretended to be relaxed. After a pause, he added, “Ms. Livingstone, the security in Lofbury has always been good. This is just an accident.”
Thomas was afraid that Yuliana would have a bad idea of Lofbury, so he comforted her.
Yuliana just wanted to know about the situation from Thomas, but she didn’t expect him to be so cautious. In the end, she didn’t find anything.
After hanging up the phone, Yuliana stayed in the room. However, there was a man who was injured and unconscious in the room with her, so she couldn’t sit still and became worried.
Therefore, she took out the computer and re-evaluated Lofbury’s resort development project.
When she was done, it was almost noon.
Blake was the one who brought her lunch.
It was nearly three o’clock in the afternoon when Thomas hurried to meet Yuliana.
Thomas took Yuliana to a cafe next to Hatte Hotel. He ordered coffee for them both and asked Yuliana, “Ms. Livingstone, are you flying back to Juxshire tonight?”
“That was what I planned to do. However, there was such a big commotion in the town last night, so I think I have to take a look at the resort. That’s why I’m planning to stay in Lofbury for two more days.” Yuliana smiled and took a sip of coffee.
Thomas’ expression changed, but it soon returned to normal. “It’s right to look at it more. We must be careful when investing. However, I may be too busy to accompany Ms. Livingstone these two days. How about I arrange for another person to accompany you?”
*Sure. Thank you, Thomas.”
As soon as she said that, Thomas’ phone rang.
He got up and walked to the side to answer the call. Suddenly, his face turned anxious. “I’m so sorry, Ms. Livingstone. I have to go back to my office immediately for a meeting.”
Yuliana replied, “Go ahead, Thomas. There’s no need to worry about me.”
Thomas was still a little worried. He hesitated for a while and reminded her, “Ms. Livingstone, there are still
few thieves who didn’t get caught last night. As a woman, you should try not to go to a remote place.”
Yuliana nodded.
Thomas left a phone number for Yuliana, which was a teacher in their unit. His name was Liam Evans.
