Can't Let Go novel Chapter 85

　　It was 10 o'clock sharp in the night.

　　During this month, Michael Huo had almost been declining appointments every night.

　　He would accompany her for the time he had saved.

　　At this moment, Mary Yun had taken a bath and sat on the bed, looking extremely nervous.

　　She took a book that Linda Yun normally placed on the bedside, pretending to be reading while looking at the toilet from time to time.

　　Had he finished it yet?

　　Would he touch her tonight?

　　What could she do to make it real?

　　Right, she couldn't let him take off her bra no matter what tonight.

　　Otherwise, the scar on her chest...

　　But...

　　How could she conceal it?

　　Her hands pulled the clothes at her chest uneasily.

　　She used to have a heart transplant, and the scar couldn't be seen from afar since the up-to-date technology in America was adopted there.

　　But there were somehow marks by taking a close look.

　　Therefore, for safety's sake, she could never take off her bra...

　　Then, had Linda Yun taken her clothes off every night?

　　What did they do on the bed every night?

　　At this moment, uneasiness, agitation and restlessness in mind made it impossible for her to breathe.

　　Just at this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom had finally stopped.

　　Promptly, Mary Yun was suffocated out of fear. She held the book nervously.

　　Michael Huo walked out of the bathroom. He wrapped his lower body with a bath towel habitually, held a short white towel and wiped his hair randomly.

　　But it was just this casual movement that made him so handsome and seductive...

　　Mary Yun's heart was thumping.

　　Seeing that she was reading a book as usual, he smiled in a charming way. He threw away the towel, and presently jumped at her. He looked at her with deep and enchanting eyes, "Beware! There will be something wrong with your eyesight if you keep reading books all day long."

　　She didn't speak. She was in a daze looking at the handsome face which she had been dreaming about day and night and was now so near her.

　　"You are in a trance again. What are you thinking about?" He reached out his hand and flipped her forehead with a smile.

　　She hastened to twitch the corner of her mouth, and forced herself to be quiet, "No...nothing, get away from me, you are pressing on me..."

　　He smiled, turned over his body, raised the quilt, and then, he became stuck with her, "Last night, when I pressed on you, you were so happy."

　　On hearing it, her body was a little rigid.

　　Last night...

　　Pressing...

　　Happy?

　　These words were like a sudden clap of thunder, hacking her heart.

　　Damn it! Wasn't Linda Yun playing hard to get him?

　　Why would she go to bed with him?

　　On thinking about it, she went mad and was unable to reconcile herself.

　　Therefore, she put the book on her bedside, and presently lay down.

　　Now that they had just made love last night.

　　Then...

　　Would they make love again tonight?

　　Seeing her lie down, he also lay down so to hug her. He said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Do you have an answer to the question I asked you last time?"

　　She was stunned, what question?

　　"What are you thinking about?" He inquired on seeing that she remained silent.

　　She was a little scared. She hastened to say in a low voice, "I'm a little tired, let's talk about it tomorrow."

　　On seeing it, he held her in his arms, "OK, I'll sleep with you in my arms."

　　She was totally sleepless being hugged by him.

　　She didn't know what question they had discussed about.

　　What should she do now?

　　But she wanted to get him now.

　　Only by getting him could she prove her success.

　　She breathed in deeply, and suddenly turned off the bedside lamp.

　　Presently, she turned around, and hugged him, burying her body in his arms.

　　He was astounded by her movement, and then, he lifted up her lower jaw, "What's up?"

　　She was a little scared of letting slip her secret. She hastened to hug him tightly and said in a dull voice, "Let me hug you for a while, shall I?"

　　He didn't move, and knitted his eyebrows a little bit.

　　"Today I went to my Mom's cemetery..."

　　She seemed to have perceived that the man's body was a little rigid, and immediately said.

　　She knew that she could justify herself with these words whatever anomaly she met with.

　　"Have you been to the cemetery?" As expected, he hastened to look at her and inquired, "Why didn't you tell me?"

　　She hastened to put on a sad look and hold him. She whimpered, "I just want to have a talk with her one on one..."

　　Such a voice and aggrieved feelings made him feel a little sorry for her with no reason.

　　He reached out his hand and lifted her face up lightly. Then, he said in a soft voice, "Next time, I'll go with you, OK?"

　　She didn't speak. She looked at him with red eyes.

　　She was not moved.

　　She was jealous.

　　She was jealous because she wondered why he was so nice to Linda Yun.

　　But she didn't know that her red eyes meant she felt wronged to Michael Huo.

　　"Don't cry." He hastened to wipe away tears for her, "Sorry, I'm not doing well all the time. Although we've been married for such a long time, I have never visited her with you..."

　　Mary Yun felt even more aggrieved being hugged by him.

　　"Tingchen..." She called him in a low voice.

　　"Well?" The man held her in his arms and replied.

　　"Let's stop making a scene in the future, shall we?" She knew that Linda Yun had always been on bad terms with him.

　　But if she succeeded in disguising herself, naturally, she had to keep on playing the role.

　　Now, to break the ice was the top priority.

　　"OK."

　　On hearing it, he was happy without reason.

　　Mary Yun immediately looked up at him affectionately on hearing his answer.

　　She knew men.

　　She knew that it was easiest for her to get everything she wanted at such a moment.

　　Truly, her languishing look was simply too enticing.

　　He lifted up her jaw, and couldn't help kissing it...

　　Mary Yun naturally reversed her hands and put them around his neck to greet him...

　　However...

　　He pushed her away slowly.

　　She was so absorbed in kissing and her body started to respond, that when she was pushed away without a reason, she was stunned.

　　He looked at her and didn't speak.

　　She was a little nervous, since the man didn't look right.

　　That was an investigating, dubious and confusing look!

　　She was a little scared without reason. His look was too malicious and pressing, as if he wanted to give her nowhere to hide.

　　"What's up?" She asked on tenterhooks.

　　"Linda Yun!" He cried.

　　"Yes!" She hastened to reply.

　　He remained silent, while pulling down her pyjama down a little casually. His eyes soon touched that "birthmark".

　　"Ting...Tingchen..."

　　His silence made Mary Yun extremely nervous, and she didn't notice the man's movements at all.

　　"Tingchen...what's wrong?" Her body reached forward, and her voice was shaking obviously.

　　Michael Huo's eyelid drooped, making it impossible to see his eyes. His tone sounded mild, "Nothing, Let's sleep!"

　　"Now?"She was a little stunned.

　　"Didn't you say that you were tired? Why not sleep early tonight?" The man unclasped her while saying. He covered her with quilts, "Have an early rest!"

　　"Where are you going?"

　　Seeing him covering her with quilts and going to leave, Mary Yun hastened to inquire.

　　"You can go to sleep first, I'll go out and smoke!" Saying this, the man put away the quilts and walked out to the balcony.

　　Soon, the man could be seen leaning on the rail of the balcony, with a cigarette lit in his hand.

　　She lay in bed and looked outside. She was confused.

　　Why, there had been nothing wrong just now.

　　Why did he suddenly stop?

　　Which part went wrong?

　　-

　　He smoked while standing on the balcony restlessly. The blue smoke filled the air and made his eyebrows more tightly knitted.

　　She was Linda Yun!

　　That birthmark, that tone. It was her beyond doubt.

　　But why...

　　did he make no response to her?

　　He remembered that each night sleeping with that little woman was a perverse torture to him.

　　When she was in the month of confinement after giving birth to her child, she couldn't sleep well, and always cried in nightmares.

　　He would hug her into his arms and take care of her each time. She would move a few times with discontentment in his arms like a kitten.

　　He would feel painfully hurt.

　　But just now, when he kissed her on the lips, her response was too...

　　He didn't know how to put it, but he just didn't feel right anyway.

　　What made him more stunned was that his lower body had no response...

　　Knitting his brows tightly, he smoked hard again.

　　Presently, he pinched out the cigarette and walked inside.

　　Mary Yun was awake. On seeing him walk in, she closed her eyes at once.

　　He put away the quilt again and went to the bed, but Mary Yun turned aside and didn't make any sound.

　　He reached out his hand and wanted to hold her in his arms, but...

　　After a long while, the hand hanging in the air was pulled back again.

　　Presently, the man lay down and closed his eyes.

　　In the darkness...

　　She bit her lips desperately, and couldn't stop her tears from ping...

　　She had lost, hadn't she?

　　She had lost without a reason, right?

　　No, she would never admit that!

　　And she would never lose!

　　This night was shameful to Mary Yun!

　　But for Linda Yun, it was tough.

　　The couple didn't draw any conclusions after discussion for a long time.

　　Linda Yun was simply made to sit on the floor for a whole night.

　　The day broke.

　　The couple walked out of the room. Hua looked at her and said sternly, "If we let go of you, will you really refrain from holding us responsible? Besides, will you give us that 500,000 yuan at once?"

　　"Right, at once!"

　　She didn't know what they had said that night.

　　But now this circumstance was favorable to her.

　　Hua looked at her man, "Shall we let go of her?"

　　The man nodded at Hua, "We'll ask her to transfer money to us, and we'll leave Austral City as soon as we get the money."

　　"But what if she calls the police in the bank?" Hua was a little worried.

　　Linda Yun looked at them, "I'm Mrs. Huo, would it be necessary to call the police for just 50000 dollars? I may tell you as well, if you let go of me now, not only will I stop holding you responsible, on the contrary, I would be grateful to you, since I can surely bring a big blow on Mary Yun when I get back. All people in Austral City know that I'm incompatible with her like water and fire. There is much more fun seeing her embarrassment than 50000!"

　　On hearing it, the couple looked at each other, and found it reasonable.

　　"All right!" Therefore, Hua instantly untied her hands and feet.

　　The man took his bag and put on clothes, "Don't play tricks with us!"

　　Linda Yun nodded. For her, money wasn't the most important thing now.

　　She had to leave here immediately.

　　She couldn't imagine how many innocent people Mary Yun would hurt by assuming her identity!

　　Hua clasped the arms of Linda Yun tightly at once. The man looked at them while opening the door, "Then, let's go now!"

　　The door was opened with a "snip-snap" sound.

　　"Where are you going, well?"

　　Abruptly, a gloomy questioning came from the doorway.

　　Linda Yun's heart clicked and cried to herself that things weren't going well.

　　Hua and Fu were both frozen all of a sudden.

　　"Fu, where are you going, eh?" The man bent over and smiled in a weird way.

　　That man was nobody but her sworn enemy, Kenneth Yun!
