Yuna had heard a kind of saying before - while two were at such a close distance, everything between them would be magnified and become clearer.

The reason why Rowdy held her so tightly was that he wanted to capture her real reaction.

Yuna kept telling herself that she had to stay calm.

Wesley's healing ability was even more terrifying than his strength. Even if he was injured, he would soon recover.

Moreover, judging from Rowdy's reaction, it could be seen that Wesley's injury was probably not serious.

Yuna took a deep breath and hugged Rowdy with the same strength. She put her head on his shoulder, and there was a sense of dependence in her movements.

Rowdy naturally felt it.

However, that was not the point.

The real point was that he didn't feel any worries or uneasiness from Yuna's reaction.

He wondered whether it meant that Yuna actually didn't care about Wesley.

After a while, Yuna let go of Rowdy and said, "You still have a lot of things to do, don't you?"

"Yes." There was no obvious emotion in Rowdy's voice. "Although our action is over, we still need to clean up the mess. We can't let the police get to us according to the clues. Otherwise, we will be putting a target on our backs."

Yuna nodded in understanding. "Just go. I'll stay with Emily."

Rowdy lowered his head slightly and kissed Yuna on the forehead. "See you tomorrow."

Yuna closed her eyes and pretended to happily accept the kiss. She smiled and looked at Rowdy. "See you tomorrow."

Rowdy rubbed her hand and then loosened it, saying, "You go inside first."

Yuna usually listened to him when it came to his orders.

She replied with a "hmm" and obediently turned to go into the house.

Rowdy stood still and didn't leave the old house until he couldn't see Yuna. He went to meet Milo.

Milo was sitting in the car. When he saw Rowdy coming over, he hurriedly got off the car and opened the door. He called Rowdy, "Brother Rowdy."

Rowdy replied with a "hmm" as a response to Kai. He then ordered the driver, "Drive."

The car was started quickly, passing through the streets in the decorations of the New Year atmosphere and through the light of fireworks.

Milo observed Rowdy's expression a bit. Although it was not good, at least it was much better than before. He no longer looked so gloomy and scary.

"Is he like this because of Yuna?"

His intuition told him that if he talked about Yuna now, it would probably make Rowdy feel even better.

Kai thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Rowdy, does Miss Wallace know about Wesley's injury? What's her reaction?"

"Yuna knows." Rowdy answered very straightforwardly. "She is very disappointed."

"Disappointed?"

Kai couldn't figure out Yuna's thoughts at the moment, so he asked in a daze, "Brother Rowdy, what do you mean by disappointed?"

Rowdy didn't hide anything and told Kai directly, "Yuna hopes that you can end Wesley's life, but you failed to do it."

Kai didn't say anything.

"That's why Yuna is disappointed?

"In other words, she wants Wesley dead?"

Kai was very surprised, but he was also very clear that Rowdy would be very happy to hear such an answer.

As long as Rowdy was happy, Kai and his men might not have to bear severe punishment for the failure of the operation today.

"Brother Rowdy, I'm sorry." Kai apologized. "We let you and Miss Wallace down."

Rowdy raised his hand, indicating that Kai didn't need to continue.

He followed with Kai's words and said, "As you said, many people want to kill Wesley, but no one has succeeded. It's indeed a bit too rash of us to try to succeed in something that others can't do with one operation."

Kai had been working for Rowdy for so long, and it was the first time that he had heard Rowdy speak in such a soft tone.

It seemed that he was really in a good mood.

Kai took advantage of the situation and continued to ask, "Brother Rowdy, can we... trust Miss Wallace now?"

Rowdy was silent for a long time. When Kai thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly said, "Maybe we should have trusted Yuna from the beginning."

Rowdy had always been decisive.

He never hesitated or regretted the things he had done.

But this time, Kai clearly heard regret in his tone.

Was he regretting his previous doubts about Yuna?

Kai was shocked and asked uncertainly, "Brother Rowdy, do you think that we were wrong about her before?"

Rowdy was silent again for a long time and then said, "Maybe."

Kai was even more surprised. After that, his first reaction was to comfort Rowdy.

Rowdy would need to be comforted. It sounded ridiculous, but that was the truth.

Kai racked his brains and finally said, "Brother Rowdy, we just need to treat Miss Wallace well from now on!"

His thinking was relatively simple, and he felt that there was nothing that couldn't be compensated.

Rowdy thought about Kai's words and glanced at him. "Do you think I didn't treat Yuna well in the past?"

"No!" Kai subconsciously denied. In the end, he felt that he had a bad conscience, so he continued, "It's just that... Brother Rowdy, you can be quite fierce to Miss Wallace occasionally..."

Being revealed by his subordinate, Rowdy was somewhat speechless. He said with a cold face after a long while, "It won't happen again in the future."

No matter how Kai listened to it, he felt that Rowdy sounded like he was making an oath.

He smiled, and the scene of Rowdy and Yuna loving each other appeared in his mind.

"That's more like it!"

Not only Kai but Rowdy also had a beautiful scene of him and Yuna in his mind.

From then on, he and Yuna could be together.

Originally, Rowdy didn't intend to trust Yuna so easily.

Just a second before he said those words, he was still hesitating.

While hesitating, he knew very well that if he didn't believe in Yuna, he wouldn't be able to win her heart.

Yuna seemed to be indifferent to everything, but in fact, she was smarter than anyone else. If he didn't believe her, she could feel it at once.

Rowdy knew Yuna too well. According to her temperament, she would never love someone who had doubts about her.

At the last moment, while they were secretly guessing each other's thoughts, selfishness defeated reason.

Rowdy chose to believe in Yuna.

He had no choice but to do so.

Because he wanted Yuna so much.

...

In the old house of the Kent family.

When Yuna returned to the living room, she saw Emily sitting on the sofa, leisurely swinging his legs.

She called the little boy, "Emily."

Emily slid down from the sofa and ran to Yuna. "Where's Daddy?"

Yuna didn't tell the little boy the truth. Instead, she said, "Today is New Year's Day. He went out to have a party with his friends."

Emily blinked his eyes and unexpectedly asked, "Auntie Yuna, do you think Uncle Hayes will also be having a party with Uncle Lambert and the others?"

Yuna was stunned.

How could she tell the little boy that Wesley was injured?

"It's better not to tell Emily about this kind of thing."

In the end, Yuna nodded and said, "Yes! It's a nice festival today, and everyone will be very happy."

Emily blinked and looked at Yuna, asking, "Auntie Yuna, are you happy?"

Yuna smiled, touched the little boy's head, and said, "I'm very happy while you're here with me."

In fact, she was not happy.

All she could think about was - how was Wesley?

At the Summit Clubhouse.

After Wesley discussed business with others, he went straight to the suite on the top floor of the club.

The doctor was thinking about how to treat Wesley's wounds and had been waiting for him to come back. As soon as he saw Wesley, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Mu, let me help you with your wounds again."

Kai also chimed in. "Brother Wesley, you should take good care of your injuries. This is a crucial period, so you should have your injuries healed as soon as possible."

Wesley looked at Kai and ordered, "Go help me with something."

"Okay!" Kai suddenly reacted. "But... what is it?"

"I want to stay in the small villa I stayed in the last time." Wesley said, "Go tell the manager to get it ready for me."

Kai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. He nodded and said, "I'll go right away."

Wesley took off his coat, sat down, and asked the doctor to treat his wound.

The doctor did it very fast and his movements were light. He quickly bandaged the wounds and reminded, "Remember to come to me to have the medicine replaced tomorrow."

"That won't be necessary." Wesley's voice was cold, and there was an unquestionable momentum in his tone. "Just give me the medicine, and I can replace it myself."

No matter how bold the doctor was, he didn't dare to disobey Wesley's order. He quickly packed up the medicine and handed it to Wesley, saying, "Replace it twice a day. Also, don't touch the wounds with water, or they will get worse. In addition..."

Wesley had suffered injuries since he was a child. He probably knew better than ordinary doctors how to deal with his wounds.

He didn't have the patience to listen and said, "Got it." He then took the medicine and left the suite. When he went to the first floor, he happened to meet the manager of the club.

The manager walked toward Wesley and said, "Mr. Mu, the small villa is ready."

Wesley didn't show any obvious reaction. He just calmly said, "Okay."

The manager was familiar with Wesley, and he knew why he only wanted to stay in that small villa. He smiled and said, "Mr. Mu, since you left last time, I haven't arranged for anyone to live in that villa."

When Wesley returned to the villa, he found that the manager was telling the truth.

The whole villa was still the same as he left. Even the things that he and Yuna hadn't used were left where they were.

In a trance, Wesley had an illusion that he and Yuna would come back again and continue to stay here.

He went upstairs and slowly pushed open the tightly shut door.

All of a sudden, the scene of him and Yuna on the top of the mountain flashed by in front of his eyes. It was as if it had happened yesterday.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but in an instant, Wesley felt as if he had been violently shocked by something. After that, a bone-chilling pain spread from the bottom of his heart.
