A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 186

Bun asked Linda for permission to go on a date with Brian. Her eyes were permanently fixed on the ground beneath her, as she was shy. She felt like a young school girl.

"You two deserve it. Go and have fun." Linda said, grabbing Bun gently by the shoulders. Bun knew that Linda could never say no, but it was customary and respectful to ask for permission.

Just then, Brian appeared. "All set?" He directed his question towards Bun.

"Yes." She responded and they walked out hand in hand. Linda couldn't help but smile.

Linda had seen Paul earlier so she knew Charles was in the house as well. She looked for him in the bedroom, but he wasn't there, so she assumed that he was in the study. She wanted to find out if he had had any lunch. Linda went to the study.

Although Charles was back, he still had a lot of work to do. When Linda found him, he was hunched over his laptop.

He didn't even notice that Linda was staring at him from the door until he caught a whiff of her perfume. He looked up and smiled. "Hi."

"Hi." Linda responded. Then, she walked towards him. He held Linda in his arms, and let her sit on his lap.

"When did you get home?" Linda held Charles's neck and buried her head in his arms.

"Brian wanted to talk to me as soon as I came home, so I didn't have time to come to you. Please forgive me."

"Don't be silly. I'm not mad." She grabbed his face gently and kissed him on the lips. When she retreated, she asked, "Are you hungry?"

Charles nodded, his eyes full of tenderness, "Of course I am. I just came back from work and didn't have time to eat."

"Then I'll ask the chef to cook something for you." Linda stood up to head to the Kitchen.

Since Bun wasn't here, she had to go to the kitchen herself.

However, Charles held onto her, preventing her from standing up. "Honey, will you cook for me?"

Although surprised, Linda still nodded. She hadn't cooked for a long time, but since her husband asked, she was willing to do it.

"Ha! Aren't you scared that I might poison you? I haven't cooked in a while. But I will cook for you. What do you want to eat?"

"I'll eat anything that you cook."

"Well, I'm going to make noodles for you." Linda smiled.

"Mmmm, I can already taste them. Delicious." Charles teased. Linda went to the kitchen and prepared a delicious bowl of noodles with eggs.

She went back to the study and handed Charles the food, several minutes later, he had finished. Linda felt good that Charles appreciated her cooking skills. Charles scraped the bowl until there was nothing left. He looked up at his Linda and smiled, a glint of appreciation in his eyes.

Linda locked eyes with him and smiled back. This was the man she loved.

"Well, what were you and Brian talking about? I thought he was here to see Bun?" Linda asked, picking the empty bowl from the desk.

"Yeah, he did come to see Bun, but he also needed to help some issues that he is having. He told me that his grandfather told him that his parents sacrificed their lives due to Bun, and is the main reason he doesn't approve of her."

"Shit, that's serious. What are we going to do now?" Linda shook her head. She had assumed that Brian's grandfather didn't like Bun just because he thought that she was a traitor. However, she didn't know that the death of Brian's parents was also related to this.

If this was so, then Bun would be labelled as a criminal; indirectly associated to the death of Brian's parents.

It was a complicated situation.

"It's no big deal. WSS has investigated this case for many years. Many people were involved in this, including Shen clan. But the traitor was unlikely to be Bun. The hypnosis was probably an excuse to cover the truth." Charles retorted, nodding his head.

In the cinema, Brian held Bun's hand while they were watching the movie, which made Bun blush and she couldn't focus on the movie.

Bun didn't know what the movie was about even after it was over. But she felt very happy that she was with Brian. On occasion, Brian would reach over and kiss Bun. This made her feel warm in her heart. She would grab at Brian's swollen hand and gently massage it. She didn't believe that she could hurt him.

After the movie, Brian drove Bun home. "Thank you for the movie. It was nice spending time with you alone." Bun said. "Yes, my love. To many more." And with that he embraced and kissed her one last time, before he hurried back to the hotel.

The effect of the sleeping drug would be wearing off soon, and he needed to be in the room when it did. As expected, Sarah woke up just after he got in the room.

She didn't know what was going on. She looked around the room and saw Brian sitting on a chair across the room, looking at her. She was confused and wondered why she had fallen asleep. Her plan that night was to make love to Brian, but it clearly didn't happen.

"Brother Brian." Sarah called him in a soft voice.

"Finally, you are awake." Brian feigned relief, trying to mask that he was out of breathe from running through the hotel, to get into the room, mere seconds before she woke up.

"What's going on? Why did I fall asleep?" Sarah asked, groggily.

"How should I know? I tried waking you up, but you refused, so I let you be. Anyway, we need to go, so get up. Your grandfather is still waiting for you in my home! It's already ten o'clock."

Sarah hurriedly stood up from the bed, even though she was unwilling.

She didn't remember anything and wasn't suspicious about the cup of water on the nightstand.

They drove to Brian's home in silence, and when they got there, Brian went to his room without talking to her.

Their grandfathers were playing chess in the study. Upon hearing Brian's car drive in, the two old men went to the living room, where Sarah was standing alone. "Sarah, how was your date? "What did you buy?" They asked, curious.

Sarah couldn't tell them the truth. How could she say that they went to a hotel? So she nodded with embarrassment, "Well, we decided to go and have some food instead. It was really lovely." She smiled, feigning happiness.

But she was really unhappy in her heart. Her memory was just blank.

What the hell happened? Did she have sex with Brian? She tried to sift through her memories for an answer, but nothing came to her.

Later that day, Linda got the news that the students would have a camp in the coming winter vacation and the psychology and P.E. teachers needed to go.

Linda told Charles, and although he didn't agree at first, he later permitted her to go. He felt safe in knowing that Bun was also accompanying Linda.

The only thing that was holding him back from whole-heartedly saying yes, was the fact that the camp would last for about a month and a half.
