At an office building in the Central Business District.
When Wesley bought this office building, he planned to make it into the headquarters of MJ Technology.
Yes, he wanted to transfer his company to Arlington all for Yuna's sake.
Yuna must have many people's blood on her hands after working for Rowdy for so many years. Once she was no longer under the protection of Rowdy, she would definitely be pursued by the international criminal police.
At that time, Wesley would be the only person who could protect Yuna.
He had already thought of what to offer to the police in exchange for Yuna.
He could give up a lot of things but he could not lose Yuna.
Therefore, he bought this office building to make it the headquarters of MJ Technology in preparation for the negotiation with the police in the future.
However, Yuna told him that she had never trusted him. She even aborted their child and went back to Rowdy.
At that moment, Wesley suddenly felt that everything he had done, including buying the building, had been extremely stupid.
But now, recalling their past, Wesley found he was foolish enough to believe what Yuna told him so easily and even wanted to disclose Yuna's bloody past to the international criminal police, thus exposing her to a double crises.
Even if he could put everything right, he did not deserve to be forgiven.
Dusk fell and the whole building was gradually shrouded in darkness. Wesley's handsome face was partially in the light and in the shadows, which made him look more solemn.
Right at this moment, Wesley's cell phone rang with Kim's number displayed on the screen.
Wesley picked up the phone quickly and asked directly, "How's Yuna?"
"The doctors invited by Larry were detained by the local Customs. Rowdy was mad and Miss Wallace looked agitated too. But they've calmed down now," Kim let out a long sigh of relief, "Brother Wesley, we overcame one difficulty. Miss Wallace is safe for now."
"Okay," Wesley's tone became relieved, "Does she... look fine?"
"She is good. She has built up her strength," Kim answered, "Don't worry, Brother Wesley. I'll protect Miss Wallace if there's an emergency."
Wesley didn't reply. Instead, he was lost in thought.
Yuna was pregnant with his child. He should be the one to protect her.
However, not only did he fail to protect her but he also put Yuna and the baby in danger.
If Brian was a positive example of a new father, then he was the negative one.
After a long time, Wesley slowly asked, "Was Rowdy aware that Yuna had sneaked into his study room?"
Hearing this, Kim couldn't help laughing and said with pure admiration, "Brother Wesley, I really admire you. You made Auston divert Rowdy's attention. Miss Wallace came out of the study successfully and Rowdy didn't discover it at all!"
When Yuna came out of the bedroom that day, she suddenly asked Kim when Rowdy would come back.
Kim knew what Yuna wanted to do, so he answered her question truthfully. Meanwhile, he kept an eye on Rowdy's movements all the time for fear of any sudden change in his schedule and he contacted Wesley at the same time.
Not long after Yuna sneaked into Rowdy's study, Kim was told that Rowdy had returned home ahead of time.
As there were several other subordinates around at that time, Kim couldn't rush into the study to pull Yuna out to get her out of trouble.
When Kim was in an acute state of anxiety, Auston suddenly paid them a visit. Kim hurriedly went to greet him.
Knowing Kim's identity, Auston secretly told Kim to tell Rowdy he was here once Rowdy came back and that he could buy Yuna some time to leave the study.
As soon as Auston finished speaking, Kim noticed Rowdy had arrived. He hurriedly chased after Rowdy to the second floor and stopped Rowdy at the door of the study. After telling Rowdy of Auston's arrival, Kim deliberately asked whether Auston had changed his mind and planned to work with them.
Rowdy had always been eager to cooperate with Auston to open up a safe transportation route. Therefore, he would not waste any time.
As expected, Rowdy went downstairs to meet Auston without hesitation.
Auston had a long chat with Rowdy, which gave Yuna nearly 20 minutes.
Before leaving, Auston stealthily whispered to Kim that he came in time because of Wesley.
Wesley knew Rowdy was quite a fickle sort. He was afraid that Yuna would be exposed if Rowdy went home in advance.
It turned out that Wesley was really good at predicting.
Yuna would never guess that it was Wesley who had helped her at the most critical moment.
The naive girl would probably take it as a coincidence.
Kim couldn't help but feel sorry for Wesley - wasn't it too unfair for Wesley that he had done so much for Yuna but she was not aware of anything?
Kim thought for a second and asked, "Brother Wesley, do you need me to inform Miss Wallace that you've known about everything?"
"No," Wesley said, "She concealed her purpose very well now and Rowdy didn't doubt her at all. If you suddenly tell her that I know the truth, it will only ruin her plan."
Kim already understood Wesley even if he didn't continue.
At this point, there was no hurry for Yuna to discover the truth. Wesley just wanted to protect Yuna until she came back safely from Rowdy.
It would not be too late to tell her that he knew everything at that time.
Kim gave Wesley a thumbs-up in his heart and then asked, "Brother Wesley, is there anything else I can do?"
"No, not yet," Wesley said. He then added after a pause, "Help me take care of Yuna."
"Don't worry, Brother Wesley," Kim vowed, "Even if it's just for your child, I will take good care of Miss Wallace!"
Having Kim's words, Wesley felt much more relieved. He hung up the phone and found it was already dark outside.
He left the office building.
The driver had already parked the car at the door of the building. Seeing Wesley coming out, he hurriedly came out of the car and opened the door for him, and asked, "Brother Wesley, where are we going?"
Before Wesley could answer, his phone rang again.
It was Brian's call this time.
"Yuna is fine. How about having dinner with me?" Brian said calmly. But there was a teasing quality in his tone.
It was Brian who stopped the doctors. Thus, he would, of course, receive the news ahead of Wesley.
Therefore, Wesley was not surprised that Brian knew Yuna was out of danger.
He also knew that Brian asked him over not just for a meal.
"Okay," Wesley answered, "I'll be right there."
He hung up the phone and asked the driver to go to Prime Villas.
When they arrived, it was very dark. Brian's house was ablaze with light. Beams of warm light came out from the specially designed windows, which made the house look particularly welcoming.
"The people inside the house were happy, weren't they?"
When Brian married Joanne, he had planned to divorce her two years later in case Rowdy posed any danger to her.
However, no one expected that Joanne, like an addictive poppy, made Brian gradually fall in love with her and unable to extricate himself. Eventually, he completely gave up the idea of divorce and set out to create a family.
Wesley once teased Brian-
"Why are you in such a hurry to step into the grave of love?"
"A single person like me can develop a relationship or split up with someone as he wishes. How free it feels!"
Wesley at that time really couldn't understand why others would find someone else to tie them down.
Why did they trap themselves in the small world that they built with their husbands or wives while the world outside was so big?
Now, Wesley finally understood.
It was all because of love.
Only love could change a person.
How unbelievable was that?
He used to scorn the constraints brought by marriage, but now, he longed for that constraint as long as the person he married was Yuna.
The gardener of the Lambert Family came out to water the flowers at this time. Seeing Wesley, he hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Mr. Mu, you've come! Mr. Lambert and Madam are waiting for you for dinner. Please come in."
"Madam?"
"Had Iris been discharged from the hospital?"
Wesley walked quickly to the living room and as expected, saw Iris sitting on the sofa, playing with Aiden.
Iris soon saw Wesley and a kind smile appeared on her mature face. "Wesley is here! Come, let's eat," she said.
"Aunt Iris, when did you leave the hospital?" Wesley asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Iris waved her hand and said smilingly, "It's not a big deal. You've been busy. No need to bother you. I'm very happy you can come to have dinner with me."
But Wesley thought Iris was hospitalised mainly because of him.
Since he failed to save her, he should at least pick her up when she left the hospital.
Iris seemed to be able to read Wesley's mind. She patted his hand with a smile and said, "Wesley, I don't blame you for the kidnapping. Besides, if it weren't for Yuna, I might have died. To be honest, I should apologize to you. If it weren't for me, Yuna wouldn't have taken the risk to go back to Rowdy."
"Aunt Iris, it's not like that," Wesley comforted Iris, "I will save Yuna. Please take good care of yourself."
"Alright, let's make a deal," Iris smiled, "I'll rest and you bring Yuna back. Neither of us are in the wrong."
Wesley nodded in agreement with Iris.
Joanne came out of the kitchen with a pot of steaming soup and said, "Dinner is ready."
Wesley helped Iris to the dining room.
He and Yuna had passed the first crisis as the local Customs held the doctors invited by Larry. However, new challenges were still waiting for them in the future.
In the face of the unknown, he could only try his best to arrange for everything to be done well.
Only by maintaining the best condition could he successfully bring Yuna back.
