Through the rearview mirror, Joanne glanced at Rowdy, standing at the door of the police station, which sent shivers down her spine and made her uncomfortable.

She had been pursued before, but this time, Joanne had a premonition and a deep uneasiness.

Rowdy, he mustn't be a good man.

If she knew it earlier, she wouldn't nose around in the Happy World that day.

Red light ahead; Brian stepped on the brakes and glimpsed at Joanne.

In the past, when she got in the car, she either started to find the CD to play music, or she started talking to him. She rarely stared at the window.

He asked her, "Joanne, what's wrong?"

"What?" Joanne looked back at Brian and replied with hesitation.

'Should I tell Brian about Rowdy?'

Before coming up with an answer, the red light turned into a green light, thus the car moved forward again.

Joanne finally shook her head, "Nothing, a dead person was found in the suburbs in the morning. We confirmed the criminal, but there is no definite evidence to arrest him."

Hearing this, Brian frowned. "Don't think about work again when off-duty."

Joanne touched the tip of her nose and asked, "Why?"

Brian said, "You've been at work during the day, shouldn't you leave it to me after work? If you want to, you should think about him."

Joanne took a moment and couldn't help but laugh. "Are you jealous of my work?"

Brian picked up his eyebrows but made no reply. Joanne understood that was admitting this. She felt like sunshine coming in and became happy in an instant. She forgot Rowdy's things for a while, talking and laughing on their way home with Brian.

Before going to sleep, Brian suddenly told Joanne, "I'll go on a business trip tomorrow."

Joanne felt unprepared and stunned. "Where to?"

"England," Brian said.

England and Arlington were far apart, divided by the ocean.

Joanne's heart suddenly had a strong sour feeling, just like the time when she was going to study abroad, parting from Chris at the airport.

She licked her lips and greedily looked at Brian. "When are you coming back?"

"This weekend." Brian stroked Joanne's long hair and said, "You can directly tell me that you'll miss me."

Joanne curled her mouth and said, "I won't miss you!" She counted her fingers one by one. "I have to work during the day, I have to sleep at night, I have to go to Freya's competition on the weekend... Hey? I don't even have time to miss you."

Brian dangerously narrowed his eyes that would nearly bully Joanne. Joanne suddenly hugged his waist and rubbed against him. Then, completely snuggling into his arms she softly called, "Husband..."

How could she not miss him? In the following week, it would nearly take 150 hours. Brian went to socialize for only four or five hours, she already could not sleep.

Hesitating for a moment, Joanne said, "But during sleep and meal times, I'll take time to miss you!"

Brian smiled and pulled the quilt for her. "Sleep."

Joanne thought that she wouldn't be able to sleep and hugged Brian. She was afraid of suffering losses and suddenly hugged him tighter. She wished that the whole person would stick to her arms. After a little toss, she finally slept with peace of mind.

Brian branded a kiss on her eyebrow and closed his eyes.

The night was sinking in the night like dark ink. No one noticed that in such a sleepy night, a countdown had begun, and dark tentacles were crawling from afar...

In the Kangs' old house, the old city area.

At one o'clock in the morning, Rowdy lay on the wicker chair in the yard, energetic like the bodyguards outside who did the night shift.

Milo pushed the door and poured wine into his empty cup. He said, "Brother, I've known it." His tone appeared a bit conflicted.

Rowdy felt that things were not simple and more interesting. "Speak, I'll listen."

Milo said after swallowing, "According to the investigation, Joanne married to Brian at the beginning of this year..."

Rowdy unhappily stopped shaking the wicker chair. He asked, "Her husband's surname is Lu?"

"Oh, yes, he's called Brian." Milo couldn't understand, Brian was so famous in the market, why did Rowdy merely care about this surname?

He asked, "Brother, this surname... What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I really don't like this surname." Rowdy rashly drank a glass of wine. "Then I have no reason to leave Joanne to him."

Milo felt shameful because of the family surnamed Lu. He aimed to grab the wife of another... Was that okay?

Rowdy turned the wine glass in his hand. "Can you tell me something about this Brian?"

"His position here is like when you were in the Golden Triangle." Milo said, "This man started from scratch and built his own kingdom in just ten years. He is not a simple man. Brother, you see..."

Milo wanted to persuade Rowdy to give up on Joanne. After all, they still had more important things to do. Besides, beautiful women were all over the street; if he played for a long time, he would be tired. Why bother Brian?

"Shut up!" Before Milo continued, Rowdy gave a cold order.

"The main thing is that he is Brian!" Milo was also anxious. "If he were a small company boss, it's okay, he can't do anything even if we robbed him. But this is Brian. It's not easy to provoke, otherwise, how could he run the Lu's group for ten years? Besides, we don't have to provoke such a person because of a woman! We haven't yet gotten Wesley of Glasgow!"

"Milo, do you know why I didn't send you out to do things?" Rowdy said. "You have too many considerations before you do it. I only know that I want Joanne; what I, Rowdy wants, isn't it simple? No matter who she is married to, I'll grab her!"

Milo knew that he could not persuade Rowdy, and bit his teeth. "Then you say how we are to act! And after investigating, I found that Brian would go to the UK for a business trip tomorrow. It is better... we'll go and tie her to let you play a few days, how about it?"

He looked forward to having Joanne, just like the women Rowdy used to be interested in the past. After playing for four or five days, Rowdy would be tired of her, and then he would walk away.

"Didn't you say that Brian is not an easy to provoke person? Is this kind of person's wife so easy to tie up?" Rowdy smiled. "I would like to first see how their marriage is doing."

"I monitored this!" Milo rushed to explain. "It's said that Joanne and Brian were married to produce a protective umbrella, so some people speculate that the media said that their so-called good marriage just on the outside, it is Joanne who used it to deceive her father. In fact, both of them are pretending! Yes, it is said that Brian and the big star Rosalyn were lovers before."

Rowdy was more interested, drinking the little bit of wine left at the bottom of the bottle, and confessing. "Milo, start tomorrow, do as I ordered."

Milo immediately replied, "Yes!"

Rowdy waved to tell Milo to go first. After the door was closed, he leaned back on the wicker chair and looked at the night sky that could not even reveal a star because of the city lights. He coldly turned up the corner of his mouth.

Brian, Lu...

This life, he hated this surname, his home, was destroyed by the man surnamed Lu.

At that time, he shouldn't have been so impulsive to take that man's life in a car accident, then hounding his wife and son to death.

He should have let him live first, then start from his son, then to his wife, destroying one by one; this, to let him taste the pain of losing his loved ones, and then to send him to death.

A phone ring brought Rowdy's thoughts back to reality. He looked at the number displayed on the screen, and the smile on his lips faded away. "Yuna."

"It's me." There was a female voice in the receiver.

"How are you in Glasgow?" Rowdy asked, "Do Wesley still not believe in you?"

"He can hardly believe people, I'm trying to find a way." Yuna said, "Before you act, I must have the trust of Wesley! Right... I've heard from Milo, you are looking for a woman in Arlington?"

Rowdy's face immediately went cold. "It's none of your business! You are performing tasks, don't ask anything outside the mission! I'll tell you if necessary."

In other words, what he didn't say was what she couldn't ask.

Yuna's sound obviously became lost. "Oh," she said, "I'm sorry, I know. If it's okay, I'll hang up first."

"Yuna..." There was a touch of helplessness in the sound of Rowdy.

"I'm fine." Yuna laughed at Rowdy. "But, if you fall in love with someone, tell me please? It's nothing, I just... want to know."

Rowdy closed his eyes, hung up the phone, buckled the phone to the tea table, and sighed at the heavy night sky.

In Glasgow, a beautiful young girl sadly smiled and put the phone away.

This night was a sleepless night for her.

The following day.

Joanne didn't know if it was because she remembered that Brian was going on a business trip today. She woke up early, and LuBrian still slept.

She took a look at Brian for a while, then carefully got out of bed. After checking the weather in the UK she then moved a suitcase to pack up the baggage for Brian.

She used to help Chris to prepare the baggage for the business trip. She had her own set of folding clothes. She quickly classified casual wear and pajamas. The next step was the daily necessities.

When Brian woke up, he subconsciously touched his side, empty, and he frowned, then he saw Joanne kneeling at the end of the bed, putting his things in the luggage one by one, and counting them in a small voice,

"Shaving water, electric toothbrush, razor... what else?"

Joanne thought it hard. Suddenly someone was holding her from behind. She "snapped" her voice. She didn't have to guess that he was Brian. She couldn't have time to say anything. His warm kiss had fallen between her shoulders and neck.

She couldn't help but laugh and pushed Brian, "Itchy... Right, can you see if there is anything missing?" Brian, this person was very picky, although the hotel would prepare toothbrush and toothpaste, he would never use them.

Brian left a mark on her shoulder. "Missed one."

"What?" Joanne rummaged and checked. "Nothing." The baggage he had traveled with on the last trip was also packed up by her. This time it was almost the same, what's missing?"

"You," Brian said.

"...Boring." Joanne slammed and pushed Brian. "What time are you flying?"

"8:50."

Joanne looked at the time, not too early nor too late. She pushed Brian to the bathroom then said, "I'm waiting for you downstairs."

Brian obviously didn't want to go in, and he pretended to pull Joanne into the bathroom. Joanne was greatly shocked, frightened holding the door frame. She saw his deep smile on his lips, and then helplessly softened her shoulders. "Childish."

But it was undeniable that she enjoyed Brian's childishness.

Outsiders, even if Gavin who was closer to him, might not be able to see his childish side.
