Irene put away the letter and was about to think of a way to destroy it. “Miss Irene?” She heard a familiar male voice.
Irene was shocked. What should she do?
She hurriedly folded the letter and put it into her pocket. Wen Shaoqing happened to walk to her side. Irene fed the cat as if nothing had happened and thought of a way to get him to leave quickly.
“Miss Irene’s heart is beating so fast that I can hear it even from here.”
This sentence!
Irene felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Ronald had also said this to her during their wedding. Just as Irene was stunned, Wen Shaoqing had already taken out the letter from her pocket.
Irene felt her empty pocket. She turned her head to look and found that the letter was already in Wen Shaoqing’s hand. Just as she was about to reach out and snatch it, Wen Shaoqing hurriedly stood up and dodged her. “Miss Irene, it’s better to keep a distance between uncle and sister-in-law. I don’t want to be killed by my brother in one strike.”
Did he also think that Ronald was as cruel as the rumors said?
“Why do you say that?”
“Isn’t it the truth? I heard that my brother killed the Prince of Celt who wanted to marry you with a strike.”
Irene did not know what Wen Shaoqing was trying to do by telling her all this, so she could only keep her composure and withdraw her hand. “In that case, Mr. Wen should call me Mrs. Ronald.”
“Okay, then Mrs. Ronald. I don’t like the way Westerners address me. In China, they usually call me Young Master Wen.”
Irene heard that the last two words he said were in Mandarin. She could not understand it, so she wanted to ask what it meant.
Moreover, Irene found that when he said that he did not like it, his eyes were filled with disgust, as if he was hostile toward the west. Why?
Wen Shaoqing heard footsteps approaching and immediately got up to leave. Seeing this, Irene also got up to chase after him. Her letter was still in his hands! What if he gave it to Ronald?
After taking a few steps, she was stopped from behind. “The cat is fed. Where do you want to go?”
Irene turned around and saw Ronald looking at her from not far away.
When Ronald saw that Irene wanted to go deeper into the backyard, he immediately stopped her. Did she want to run again? He did not care whether she had cat fur on herself. He pulled Irene’s hand and walked back to the front yard.
But Irene was now focused on the letter, staring in the direction where Wen Shaoqing had disappeared. When Ronald saw Irene’s actions, he thought that she was trying to escape and was unwilling to have been caught.
Ronald pulled Irene into a room and immediately closed the door behind him. “I will never let you leave my sight again.” Ronald grabbed Irene’s arm. “Why? Why do you always want to escape? Haven’t I treated you well enough?”
Irene pulled her arm out of his hand and rubbed the spot where he grabbed her. “I don’t want to escape. I just heard a cat meowing. I’m afraid that there are still kittens that I haven’t noticed that are starving.”
“Really?” Ronald had not returned to the manor for a long time. It was all managed by Wen Shaoqing. He really did not know the situation in the manor. “Then I’ll ask Wen Shaoqing to go into the backyard to look for it later. You don’t have to go.”
Ronald frowned when he saw Irene rubbing the spot he had just grabbed.
He paused for a moment and let Irene sit on the bench. He let Irene put her arm in front of him and reached out to gently rub the spot he had just grabbed.
“I’m sorry. I panicked too. I won’t do it again in the future. In the future, I’ll ask about the situation first and won’t misunderstand you again. You have to promise me that you won’t think about running away anymore, okay?” Ronald explained anxiously.
Irene’s beautiful eyes looked directly at Ronald. She didn’t dodge or avoid him. There was no trace of guilt in her eyes. “Okay.”
She didn’t think about running away in the first place. She was just thinking about the letter.
Ronald only felt that his heart had returned to normal after he received a positive answer. He planted a serene kiss on the top of Irene’s head and pulled her into his arms.
