His Domineering Lover

It was the first time for Aleigha to come to the Woods Residence. The house was big yet there was no fancy decorations on it.

She calculated that there were at least 30 rooms.

Well, it was not surprising. The Woods family was related to the military and the government. They wouldn't make their a palace like some rich people.

There was a big yard in front of this house. It looked old and simple, but Aleigha could tell that this yard alone was worth more than the entire Gardner Residence.

Windy greeted Charlotte and Aleigha decently and warmly. Seeing Freddie, who had got a silly smile, Aleigha felt that her head was aching.

"Aleigha, welcome to my home." Freddie was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Aleigha followed behind Charlotte, unsettled. As soon as she entered the house, she felt inexplicably upset.

Freddie followed her. He didn't shut up because she was distracted. Instead, he took her hand and walked to the back yard.

"Hey, let go of my hand!" When Aleigha realized where she was, she angrily shook off Freddie's hand.

Freddie went bright pink with embarrassment. He hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry."

"Why did you bring me here? Didn't I tell you to stay away from me?" Aleigha's tone was cold, and the way she looked at Freddie was unfriendly. "The elders are talking. I was afraid you'd feel bored."

Aleigha frowned slightly and said with a look of displeasure, "I like to chat with elders."

"Hey, don't go, I'll show you something great." Freddie was as excited as a child.

Aleigha glanced at him and wanted to say no, but she was attracted by the stars in his eyes. In the end, she nodded.

"Fine. But that doesn't mean we're friends."

Her tone was still as cold as ever, but Freddie didn't mind it at all. The point was, she didn't turn him down.

"Follow me."

Freddie took Aleigha to a room. As soon as Aleigha came in, she felt extremely uncomfortable because of some cold and gloomy aura.

It was very dark and cold in the room.

"Here?" Aleigha clutched her sleeve and clung to him.

He took her by the hand and comforted her softly. "It's okay. I'll turn on the light."

With a thud, the dark room suddenly lit up. Aleigha wanted to cover her eyes with her hand, but Freddie beat her to it.

He stood in front of her to shield her from the bright light. She frowned slightly and subconsciously took two steps back. There was a trace of disappointment in Freddie's eyes. He then smiled and said, "Look."

Aleigha squinted her eyes. When she was used to the light and saw what was in this room, she couldn't help but gasp. Only now did she understand why the Woods family could be so low-key and so intimidating at the same time.

Although this room was just about 100 square meters, it was lined with guns of all kinds.

No heavy big guns. They were all very delicate little guns.

With a look of excitement on his face, Freddie pointed at a golden pistol and said, "This one suits you." "Me? Why do I need a pistol? Do I look like a violent person?" Aleigha wanted to laugh and weep all at once.

Freddie did not know why he wanted to give Aleigha a pistol. Perhaps he felt that a girl like her would not be willing to be protected at all.

"It's for self-defense."

Aleigha stared blankly at the pistol in her hand. Her brain was racing.

In her last life, Emilia had her hunted several times. Though none of these attempts succeeded, she was not sure she would be so lucky in this life. Besides, if it hadn't been for Adrian, she would have been killed by Emilia.

"If you don't know how to use it, I'll teach you." Seeing that she kept silent, Freddie said in a low voice.

Aleigha knitted her brows. She put the pistol into her purse and said, "I can learn it myself."

"You could've let the gun go off." Freddie tried to persuade her.

Aleigha slightly raised her eyebrow and sneered. "You don't believe me?"

Freddie smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"I'm going back." Aleigha turned around to leave.

Freddie couldn't stop her, so he just followed her.

Aleigha stayed at the Woods Residence until late afternoon. She looked at her watch and found that the accident time had passed. Maybe she could relax now. After dinner, they went home. In the car, Aleigha became more and more nervous. Charlotte looked at her absent-minded look and felt distressed. "Aleigha, are you thinking about Adrian?"

Aleigha was stunned. Why would Charlotte suddenly mention Adrian?

"No, I'm just thinking about the school thing. It's time for me to go back."

"Sigh, you're just too kind. Now that Adrian has agreed to cancel the engagement, I'm afraid he would be with..."

Aleigha naturally knew what Charlotte wanted to say. She patted her hand and comforted her, "Take it easy. If it's mine, it's mine.

"If he's not meant to be mine, I'll just let him go. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I just don't want Lainey and Emilia to get what they want. I hate them." Charlotte thought that Emilia was no good enough for Adrian.

"Let it go. Adrian's got to marry someone. If it's not me..."

There was a loud bang. Aleigha felt the impact of a great force upon her body.

Before she knew what had happened, she had already lost consciousness.

The moment her consciousness disappeared, she saw that Charlotte, who was next to her, was bleeding profusely.

The sharp pain soon woke Aleigha up. When she opened her eyes again, she heard hasty footsteps.

She looked up. Her body was pressed by something hard and she could not move at all. Her legs seemed to be injured, because she could feel that blood was flowing out little by little. Fortunately, she could still move her hands. As she groped in the darkness, she suddenly touched a warm hand.

"Someone save us! Save us!"

She used up almost all of her strength to hold that hand tightly and push the heavy object on her.

"Help! Help!"

Someone heard her scream and rushed over to give her a hand.

"Please save the woman next to me first."

She knew that she would be fine, but what about Charlotte? She didn't dare to think about it.
