Chapter 410 Revisiting the Old Homeland

“Ms. Conner.” Stanley frowned at me, probably not understanding why I was still prepared to go with

Ezra even though I clearly knew everything.

Looking at them, I said, “I didn’t expect you guys would come this far to see me off, thank you.”

After speaking, I avoided Walter’s gaze and returned to the cabin.

Of course, I had no way of knowing what happened next. However, after a short while, I distinctly felt

the ship moving, and the patrol boat was getting farther and farther away from me.

Having fooled Walter and Stanley, Ezra seemed to be in a good mood. When he entered the door,

there was still a smile on his devilishly handsome face.

I didn’t want to pay attention to him, I sat by the window watching the patrol boat getting farther and

farther away.

“Reluctant?” The man behind her spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.

I pursed my lips, indifferently saying, “Playing with them, is it fun?”

He sat in front of me, looking at me, and said, “Of course not, I just want you to see clearly, the man

you care about, is nothing more than this.”

I pursed my lips, feeling that this person was completely unreasonable.

Perhaps upset by my neglect, he sat down next to me, his distinctly

masculine, warm breath hitting my ear, making me genuinely uncomfortable. I frowned, wanting to

move away, but he held me down.

Then came his slightly restrained voice, “I thought you would choose to go with him just now. After all,

this is not River City, and I may not be able to do what I want to do.”

I glanced sideways at his devilishly handsome face, raising an eyebrow, “You would let me go with

him?”

He hooked his lips, his eyes gleaming with radiance, dangerously attractive, “If you really want to leave,

it’s not impossible. I will have him leave his hands as an exchange. If he agrees, then I might consider

letting you go.”

“Madman!” Pushing him away, I stood up and distanced myself from him. This man was a devil to the

core, with absolutely no trace of humanity.

Pushed away by me, he wasn’t angry. He just tilted his head and looked at me with a smile, appearing

harmless. “I just wanted to know how much he really loves you, why did that drive him crazy?”

Looking at him, something suddenly occurred to me. I walked up to him, leaned in close, and asked,

“Ezra, do you like me?”

Standing too close, I could almost clearly see his beautiful skin. It was strange, a person who had been

engulfed by a fire, could still make his face so delicate, without a single flaw.

His brows furrowed, his attractive lips pursed, a somewhat inscrutable expression appeared on his

devilishly handsome face. A few seconds later, he took a few steps back, indifferently saying, “Tabatha, Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

you think too highly of yourself.”

Watching him leave, I finally got some peace.

Without the obstruction of the police, Ezra’s ship smoothly entered the high seas, and from then on, it

became increasingly uncontrollable.

At this point, whatever I did, naturally, it wouldn’t be of any use.

In just three to five days, I had once again arrived at the old place where I used to stay – Fallwall.

This place, was my nightmare, and upon returning, it was the same.

After five years, many places had indeed changed. Numerous houses had been demolished and rebuilt

into luxurious villines. The greenery had increased significantly. Upon entering, one might have

mistaken it for a simple farm.

Once a cold and bloody place, now there is no trace of the bodies that once littered this place.

“Do you like it here?” The tall figure in front of me suddenly stopped, turned around to look at me, and

asked with a raised eyebrow.

I didn’t look at him, I indifferently glanced around, sneered, and looked · up at him, saying, “Like? Like

what? The bones buried under our feet? Or the many lost souls imprisoned under the red walls and

white tiles?”

Perhaps he really didn’t like what I said. He gave me a cold glance and ignored me, directly stepping

into the villa.

Sebastian glanced at me sideways, pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant to speak, but in the end, he let

out a slight sigh and followed me into the villa.

I wasn’t that curious about what he wanted to say, I followed him into the villa with a blank expression.

It was still the same luxurious and spacious, which quite suited Ezra’s

temperament. No matter the situation, he always made his surroundings luxurious and extravagant.

“Ms. Conner, you’ve worked hard. Let me take you to your room to rest.” Sebastian said to me,

glancing at the rooms on the second floor.
