She Killed My Ex

Chapter 74 Be My Girlfriend

Chapter 74 Be My Girlfriend

Caroline was forcibly brought outside by Antonio.

She could hear the bustling noise from the night market and small vendors were hawking from time to time. Antonio was holding her hand. She wasn't used to being led away like that. But that person who was holding her seemed to be stubborn. She avoided Antonio with excuses a few times and yet he smiled and grabbed onto her hand again.

They were walking through the night market and the food around smelled so good.

Caroline walked slowly but Antonio didn't rush her.

She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her who was holding her hand. She looked at the back of Antonio which was strong and tall. He didn't urge her to move faster nor say a word. But she saw that he slowed down automatically.

There were a lot of people in the night market. Since it was the weekend, there were even more people and many couples around.

In that surging crowd, a handsome man was seen to be leading an unattractive woman, moving slowly in that crowd.

That made them a compelling combination.

Caroline subconsciously wanted to avoid all those eyes that were looking at her. She hated them so much.

She thought to herself, "Can you all stop looking at me?"

"Can you all stop looking at me in this way?"

Those gazes seemed to be cutting through her flesh and going into her bones.

She couldn't stand it.

"Let me go! Let me go!" She tried to remove her hand desperately and said, "Mr. Tucker, just let me go!"

"Please!"

Her voice was coarse and she seemed to roar with all of her strength!

Her wrist turned red by her twisting, her tone finally sounded like she was begging instead of roaring.

Caroline looked at Antonio while he also turned to look at her. Suddenly, Antonio let go of her hand. Before Caroline could breathe a sigh of relief, Antonio wrapped her hand tightly again. This time, he was holding her tighter than before. Caroline could feel a strong man force from Antonio's palm.

"Don't be bothered. They are nobody." While Antonio was talking, he suddenly pulled Caroline to his side with his palm. In the next second, he hugged Caroline tightly. Then, he raised his head to look around and said, "What are you all looking at? Have you never seen a couple walking on the street?"

The scrutinizing gazes around were restrained a lot by Antonio's loud reprimand.

"Let's get some food." Antonio put his arms around Caroline's shoulders firmly. Then, she was led by him and walked into a small alley.

In the alley, there was a beef noodle shop. The shop wasn't as refined as the other shops and it looked old. Antonio forced Caroline to walk into the shop in his arms and said, "Sir, two bowls of beef noodles."

"Little Tonio, you seem free today?" The shopkeeper was an old man in his 50s with a little gray hair. He smiled all the time and he was very friendly. Seeing Antonio coming in, he quickly put his work away and wiped his palms on the bib. Then, he served hot water to Antonio and Caroline.

"Who is this?"

"I'm a friend," Caroline said.

Antonio smiled and answered, "Girlfriend." Then, he raised his head, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked, "Hudson, isn't my girlfriend looking good?"

Caroline was in a daze when she heard the word "girlfriend".

She was at a loss and looked at Antonio who was chatting with Hudson. Hudson looked very friendly.

"Hudson, don't listen to Antonio."

"Well, this girl isn't bad. Her facial features are decent, but she is too thin."

Caroline was stunned and looked at Hudson confusingly again. She couldn't help but wonder how did that man feel that she had a decent appearance?

Three years ago, Caroline might look beautiful. But now, she looked much old and tired.

"Little Tonio, let me get you the beef noodles."

"That's nonsense. I am not..."

Caroline wanted to explain, but Hudson had walked away. Then, she was stunned for a while.

"Hello... Hey...Do you really like daydreaming that much?"

Caroline came back to her senses when she heard that pleasant yet teasing male voice. She looked at that handsome face on the opposite side. Suddenly, she found something strange. She called out softly and awkwardly, "Little Tonio?"

The mischievous hand that Antonio was teasing Caroline left hanging in the air. His ears turned red and he explained hurriedly, "Don't listen to Hudson. When I was young, my family didn't allow me to eat snacks. My diet was very strict. I love to come to Hudson's place and have a bowl of beef noodles secretly."

"Let me tell you. Hudson's family has been making beef noodles for generations. I heard that it has been available since the emperor's time. You won't get the same taste outside."

"Little Tonio." A smile appeared on Caroline's face. At that moment, she had a trace of the innocent look which she was three years ago.

Antonio was embarrassed. His face turned red from his ears to his neck. He was nervous and said, "Hudson is older than me, but you are not. Don't call me the same way as Hudson. Just call me Tonio."

Caroline declined to comment. Then, Hudson brought two bowls of hot beef noodles to the table and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Let me know if it's not enough." Then, he specifically instructed Antonio, "Ask your girlfriend to eat more. She is so skinny. How can a good boyfriend let that happen?"

"I am not his girlfriend..."

"All right. All right." Antonio interrupted Caroline halfway and urged Hudson to leave with a smile, "Hudson, carry on with your work. My girlfriend and I need some private moments here. Are you trying to peep at us?"

"Stop your nonsense, boy," Hudson said with a smile before he left.

Caroline looked at Antonio and said, "Why are you lying to Hudson? I'm not your girlfriend."

Antonio was passing the chopsticks in his hand over to Caroline while saying, "What makes you say that I was lying to Hudson?" Then, he raised his head suddenly and continued, "Caroline, think about it."

That was very shocking!

That came out of nowhere!

Caroline's ears were buzzing. She stared blankly at Antonio for a while and asked, "Mr. Tucker, what did you just say?"

The back of her hand was getting warm. Then, she heard Antonio's words again, "Do you want to be my girlfriend? Let's give it a try."

Caroline quickly withdrew her hand and answered without hesitation, "Mr. Tucker, the noodles are getting cold. Please don't make this joke again in the future."

"I wasn't joking..."

"You are!" Caroline suddenly glared at him and shouted, "I'll only see it as a joke, Mr. Tucker!"

"I..." Antonio wanted to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly. He looked at Caroline, who was in front of him for a while and sighed, "Yes, I was joking. The noodles are getting cold. Let'sC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

eat."

She was too stubborn. Although she seemed to be struggling a little just now, she didn't run away from Antonio's keen glares.

After a while, Antonio raised his head and saw that Caroline was avoiding the green onions in the bowl secretly. He asked, "You don't eat green onions?" Without any second thought, Antonio stretched out his arm to take the bowl in front of Caroline and put it in front of himself.

Caroline was stunned. The man who was sitting opposite her picked all the chopped green onions from her bowl to his bowl and said, "Well, I love to eat green onions."

Caroline still stared blankly at the beef noodles that were put back in front of her. She couldn't find any chopped green onion inside.

After they finished eating the noodles, Antonio grabbed Caroline's hand again. He walked in front of her, holding her hand, and shuttled through the crowd. From time to time, he would be telling Caroline, who was at his back about his childhood stories.

Caroline stared blankly at their intertwined hands behind him. She didn't know what to do and just let the man in front of her leading her through the crowd.

"Don't...Don't you feel ashamed?"

Suddenly, she asked.

"Why would I feel ashamed?"

Caroline didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally squeezed out some words from her mouth, "Because I'm a joke."

"Jokes can bring people joy and positive energy. Why would I feel ashamed with something positive?"

Caroline was speechless. She didn't know that could be interpreted in that way.

She lowered her head. She found herself very despicable because when Mr. Tucker dragged her to eat, she only thought of asking for help from him along the way. She wanted to promote herself to Mr. Tucker so that she might be able to sell herself for a good price.

"Do you have something to say?" When Antonio sent Caroline back to the entrance of the Royal Club, he suddenly hold onto her and asked.

Caroline seemed to have something to say.

After a while, she responded, "No. There is nothing." Originally, she wanted to ask that man shamelessly, "Would you like to buy me?" At that moment, Caroline found her throat was very dry and she couldn't ask.

After she took a glance at Antonio, she turned around and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the Royal Club, as if she was fleeing from something.

But her leg couldn't walk fast. So, she dragged herself forward like a clown.

She didn't dare to look at that man who was behind her. A sense of shame kept emerging in her heart and telling her, "Caroline, you are so cheap! Caroline, you are so disgusting!"

Caroline was standing in front of the elevator. After a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened. When she was about to enter the elevator, she lifted her head and saw a handsome man, who was full of anger and coldness in the elevator.

Instinctively, Caroline took half a step back. She was terrified by that man. Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the elevator and quickly dragged her into the elevator.

Before she could stand still, a fiery body directly pressed her against the wall of the elevator. Without saying a word, an overwhelming kiss pressed on her from the top.

Caroline's heart skipped a beat and she was angry. She stretched out her hand to push him away, but her hands were grasped by a pair of big hands. Then, her hands were raised above her head and pressed against the elevator wall.

"No! No! Let me go! Go away!"

She was trying to escape but the other person directly pressed his body against her.

He was kissing her while she was trying to avoid it.

He seemed to be angry and she seemed to be scared.

When the elevator door opened, the people outside gasped, "Carol...Caroline?"

Caroline's heart was flustered. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and her pupils widened. "Oh, no!" She struggled even harder.

Bentley didn't even look at the people outside. He freed one hand and pressed the closing button.

The elevator didn't stop at other floors after that and went straight to the 28th floor.

The man squinted his long and narrow eyes to glance at Caroline, who was breathing chaotically. Then, he bent down, carried her in his arms, and strode out.

The man didn't say a word until Caroline was thrown into the big bed.

When Caroline was thrown into the big bed, her body bounced. Then, she tried to stabilize her body by supporting herself with her arms. When she was about to prop up her upper body, she saw that Bentley was unbuttoning his white shirt without saying a word at the end of the bed.
