My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1063

Hearing Nelson's words, Monique paused for a moment.

However, she was not a pushover and she soon returned to her usual composed self.

"If you dare to say so, then I'll take your word for it. You have to show your sincerity, though."

Nelson quirked his eyebrow and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

He was already in such a miserable state, so he had nothing more to worry about. As a result, he

became quite collected.

Monique asked mischievously, "How about killing Naomi?"

Nelson pulled a long face instantly. Monique laughed out loud at the sight of that while saying, "What?

Are you scared? I know that I can't win your heart back, so forget it!"

Nelson was vexed as he said in reply, "What on earth do you want me to do?"

"Didn't I say it already? Kill Naomi!"

Nelson warned her sternly, "You can't do that!"

"Why can't I? Amos forced me into a corner. Can't I kill his daughter for revenge?"

"You're not that kind of person. What you want is freedom, don't you? It's not worth risking your life to

kill her."

Monique was like a psychopath at the moment. She might do anything once she was irritated. Amos

was powerful indeed, but nonetheless, he couldn't be on guard all the time.

That was why Nelson no longer dared to be too rash. On the contrary, he had to be cautious and

patiently analyze the situation with her.

"Worth it? What? I don't care about all that anymore. I have nothing to lose. I'm all alone, so what if I

risk my life? After all, there's no one who cares about me."

Nelson frowned for a long time.

He finally spoke in a low voice, "How do you know there's no one who cares about you?"

Monique sneered and asked, "What? Have you changed your mind?"

"It's not that I have changed my mind. I'm just thinking that it's better to live than to die. Besides,

haven't you said that you want to make a comeback?"

"Why don't we leave here together? You can start all over again elsewhere."

Monique was dubious about his suggestion. She asked, "Are you helping me or Naomi?"

"Regardless of whom I'm going to help, isn't it still a good thing for you?"

Monique nodded and said, "You're right. It's better to live than to die. What's more, the thought of dying

in Rosaville City like this really irritates me a lot. It's just that they were guarding so strictly outside. How

do you think we can escape?"

Nelson replied, "I will find a way to contact Patrick and he might be able to help us!"

Monique nodded and replied, "Okay! I'll trust you once again. If you play a trick on me this time, I'll

definitely get back at you for it!"

Nelson pursed his lips before he said, "I absolutely won't do anything! I want to leave this place too."

Monique nodded and left the room. Her subordinate, who was following behind her, was a little

hesitant.

"Miss Monique, do you really believe him? He changed his attitude so quickly. Be careful as he might

pull a fast one on you!"

Monique chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? He has outwitted me too many times. I'm certain

he's lying. Don't worry, I'll counter his moves. Come, I need you to help me with something. First,

you'll..."

Monique whispered to her subordinate for a while before she turned around and went back to

Nelson.

"Although my place is shabbily furnished, I have prepared all the necessary household products. If you

are hungry, you can cook for yourself."

"I'm not hungry. I want to have a rest."

"You can rest over there!" said Monique while pointing in a direction.

Monique was telling the truth. She had prepared this basement some time ago and there were truly a

lot of things in it.

The dinner provided on that day was also quite sumptuous. Monique claimed that it served as a warm

welcome for him.

After eating and drinking, he laid on the bed. Whenever he closed his eyes, Naomi's disappointed

expression would appear in his mind.

Recalling the moment when her tears had fallen down her face, he felt extremely downcast and

discouraged.

If possible, he still wanted to explain things to her. However, she had been so exasperated that she

didn't give him any chance to explain at all.

In fact, he was very surprised that Monique would still trust him.

He felt that with her vicious and scheming mindset, she wouldn't trust him that much. Perhaps she had

a backup plan.

He squinted his eyes. Being in such an uneasy situation, he was unable to lower his guard. However,

he needed to rest well as only then could he have the energy to decipher what Monique was up to.

He intended to find an opportunity to bring Monique back to justice. He didn't care even if he would be

exposed along the way.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise outside the room. It sounded like a door had been kicked open.

He became nervous right away, and he quickly sat up.

He wondered if the police had found his location.

He got out of bed in a hurry, and was about to open the door and walk out when he heard footsteps

coming towards him.

Since he was planning to be a spy, he had already taken notice of his surroundings in the morning.

He was clear that there was only one room in his area, which was the one he was resting in.

How had those intruders headed straight in his direction? They wouldn't have known about the

environment and routes in the basement. He couldn't help pondering on that.

Just as he was in contemplation, he heard Monique's voice.

She was saying, "You're Amos's men? The Granger family is really ruthless. Do you want us to die that

badly?"

Nelson was stupefied.

He hurriedly pulled open the door and walked out.

At a glance, he saw that Monique was surrounded by a group of mysterious men. All of them were

staring at Monique with hostility.

Two of them had their guns raised at Monique.

Monique turned her head away anxiously, happening to see Nelson coming out of the room. She

shouted, "Nelson, run!"

Nelson was stunned. He understood at once.

"I'm not leaving!"

As they were speaking, the guns' muzzles were already pointing at her. Nelson sprinted forward, kicked

one of them away, and then pulled Monique over.

"Are you alright?"

Monique quietly looked at his side profile. She was dazzled for a moment before she shook her head.

She then said, "I'm fine."

In the next second, Nelson was already in a fight with those people.

Unfortunately, he was outnumbered, and those men even had guns. Consequently, he was defeated

shortly afterwards.

As guns were being pointed at his head, the leader of those men spoke in a sinister voice.

He said, "You're trying to be a hero by saving the damsel in distress, huh? Well, let's see which one is

tougher, my gun, or your head?"

"No matter which one is tougher, I will never allow you to hurt the people around me!"

Monique, who was standing behind him, was dumbstruck. For some reason, she was moved by his

words.

In the past, she had gotten together with a lot of men.

However, they had failed to treat her wholeheartedly. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

That was the reason that she had constantly switched partners.

No one had ever protected her the way Nelson was.

Perhaps he was just acting, perhaps he wasn't, but she had to admit that she really was touched at that

moment.
