A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 126

The night was just starting its long song. However, for Linda, it was a fleeting one.

Right after she laid her head on her pillow, the next thing she knew, it was morning already.

Linda gently rubbed her eyes as the sunlight shone into the room and cast a warm tinge on the quilt. The sunlight slanted through the window and was warm and comfortable as it touched her skin.

She stretched her arms and unconsciously reached for Charles, who was not there anymore.

She felt that she has been more dependent on him after the abduction. From that moment on, she wanted him by her side each and every time.

She could not risk the thought of losing him. It was so close.

She remembered the time when she was hung by the crane, dangling in the blowing, chilling wind.

She had a little acrophobia. Such high places made her extremely uncomfortable to the point of fear. But it was Charles who gave her the courage to overcome these fears. As she endured the chilling winds, she could see his face every time she closed her eyes. It was as if he was waving to her and encouraging her!

She knew that if she died right there, Charles would be completely devastated.

She can't bear imagining how broken he will be, so she tried her best to survive.

She said in a soft voice, "Bun."

Bun entered the room and gladly replied, "My Lady, you're awake. Go downstairs and eat something. Your food has already been prepared. It's already ten o'clock now!"

Linda realized she had slept over twelve hours.

"Twelve hours? I overslept again? Who am I, a pig? ", she thought.

In dismay, she scratched her hair, and immediately ran into the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

She did not forget about the meeting with Robert Huo. They were supposed to have lunch today.

And she was really hungry. That's mostly what woke her up.

"My Lady, your body has not fully recovered. Please know that it's normal to sleep a lot. By the way, lunch is ready. They had made your favorite dish, Cola chicken wings."

Linda realized that she forgot to tell Bun she was eating out for lunch. But she had promised Robert she would be there. So she apologized to Bun and said, "Bun, I forgot to tell you. I'll have lunch with one of my friends."

Bun smiled and said, "That's fine. The food will be prepared no matter if you're at home or not."

At first, Linda wanted to go on her own. After all, Robert was her senior during college, and he didn't know much about Bun. She didn't tell Robert that Bun was coming. Robert and her just wanted to catch up a little bit. It would be inappropriate to bring Bun with her.

What if Robert asked about Bun? It was tricky to answer that question. It seemed Bun was the one who was always there to attend to her needs.

But Linda didn't want to say that. First, she always considered Bun as her sister.

Second, she didn't want Robert to know too much about her family.

She didn't want Robert to view her in a different way.

However, considering she was abducted just a few days ago....

Linda knew there was no way Bun would let her go out on her own.

Since she was now engaged to Charles Mu, she should prepare herself for every possible storms that were to come.

She should take caution in every step that she would take.

But she never regretted being engaged to Charles, for she knew she had fallen in love with him. With Charles, she is willing to sit through all those coming storms.

"My Lady, where are you going?" Asked Bun while she was busy preparing the clothes Linda was going to wear.

The bruises on Linda's body had not faded away. But they do not hurt anymore and Linda is now allowed to do some outdoor activities.

Her bruises wouldn't show as long as she wore long-sleeve shirts and trousers.

"I'm going to a cafe near the back gate of my Alma Mater."

"A cafe? Isn't that a place for drinking coffee? I don't think you can find a good meal at such a place. How about eating something at home before you go?"

Bun suggested.

Bun came to the Mu clan right after she completed her army duty, so she doesn't know a lot about the ordinary world. What was a cafe for? What could you eat in such a place? She only knew it was a place for drinking coffee.

Looking at her doubtful face, Linda was amused and laughed. "Yes, it is a place for drinking coffee. However, inside they sell all kinds of food. You can have lunch and dinner there. You can even enjoy your afternoon tea there. When I was still in college, the cafe was near our campus. The food served there was cheap and delicious."

"All right. I've been in the army for so long. And when I left the position I came to the Mu clan to serve as Master Charles's bodyguard. So I don't know a lot about the outside world. So......"

From Bun's eyes, Linda could see how much she was looking forward to discover what the outside world offers.

She didn't know a lot because she didn't have the chance to know.

"What do you say about the two of us hanging out together outside? We can eat whatever we like. We'll do that next time."

Linda always thought life was about eating. So when she was upset, she would treat herself to a hearty meal. Then whatever made her upset would be quickly forgotten.

Linda smiled as she turned her head. Her eyes, and her smile were intoxicating, like a gorgeous goddess. If Bun was not a girl, she would definitely fall in love with her.

After Linda finished grooming herself, she put on her clothes and was ready to go.

Bun has gone to the garage to fetch the car. A few minutes later, a modest black Volkswagen pulled over in front of the villa of the Mu clan.

"My Lady, who is this we are going to meet today?" Bun asked while she was busy driving.

"A senior when I was still in college. It has been a long time since we last met."

"Is he the guy we met the other day?"

Bun remembered the day when Linda went back to her Alma Mater to fetch her books. They came across a guy called Robert.

"Yes. That's him."

"Ha!. My Lady! You're going to meet a 'male' senior. Master Charles must be jealous if he knows about it."

Linda's lips twitched, "He's just one of my friends. Keep it a secret from Master Charles. I have promised that guy that I will have lunch with him. I can't take back my words. Just some casual talk over lunch. All you need to do is to sit beside me."

Linda has been going back and forth on whether she should tell Charles. But a lunch was not that big a deal. If he didn't ask, there was no need to tell him. A man as bossy as Charles would definitely get jealous.
