Chapter 405 Holding a Wedding?

I pursed my lips, gave him a cold glance, and remained silent.

Returning to Ezra's villa, it was already night. After the arrival of spring, the sky darkened noticeably later than in the deep winter. This time, Ezra didn't lock me in the dark room.

Instead, he allowed me to move freely within the villa. However, he had arranged for quite a few people to guard outside the villa. It was clear that my freedom was confined to this villa, and I couldn't go anywhere else.

It doesn't matter. Now that I've come this far, I don't really have anywhere else I want to go.

Sitting on the swing in the yard, I stroked Kitty, who had grown quite a bit in my arms. The little guy had a good appetite, his belly was full and bulging, and he felt really good to the touch.

There was an additional person by my side, it was Sebastian. He handed me a hand warmer, and said, "It's cold outside, the master asked you to go back to your room."

I didn't pick up, nor did I look at him, I just said coldly, "No need, I like staying here."

He paused, saying, "The gentleman will be angry."

"Hmph!" I sneered, stepping off the swing and walking emotionlessly towards the villa. After a few steps, Sebastian's voice came from behind, "Ms. Conner, the gentleman won't hurt you."

I stopped in my tracks, turned around to look at him, and mocked,

"Sebastian, I'm curious, how did you become his lapdog? When your life was hanging by a thread, it was Captain Lucas and a group of police officers who saved you. People always say that one should repay kindness with kindness, but you really surprised me. You even had the heart to turn against your own saviors."

His body stiffened, frozen in place, his hands clenched into fists, his face pale. He looked at me and said, "How...how did you know?"

I sneered, looking at him and said, "On the eve of New Year's Eve, it was you who took me home. On the way, only you knew that I had called Captain Lucas, and only you knew that I was going to meet Captain Lucas. Of course, only you could replace Captain Lucas's location at such a fast speed. You were wearing a helmet, but your figure was not hard to recognize."

That night, I kept thinking, if I hadn't met Captain Lucas at that time, perhaps everything that followed wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have been threatened by Ezra. But there were no ifs in this world.

Pierced through, he sighed deeply, looking at me and said, "I'm sorry, I must do what the gentleman has arranged, and I can only follow his arrangements."

"Huh!" I sneered, "What a loyal dog indeed."

His face turned pale, but he didn't retort.

Not wanting to talk to him more, I entered the villa holding Kitty.

Inside the villa.

The bald man came out of Ezra's study, looking at him, I stood still, not hiding the anger and hatred in my eyes at all. The bald man glanced at me, squinted his eyes, and there was the same murderous intent in his

eyes. For a moment, I had no doubt that he would strangle me right here. This man wanted to kill me, that was the only thing I could feel at that moment.

"Robinson!" The voice of Ezra came from behind him. I looked up to see Ezra standing at the study door, looking at us coldly.

Robinson looked back at him, his cold face slightly relaxed, then turned around and left without a sideways glance.

Robinson left, Ezra came to my side, took Kitty from my arms, rubbed its head, and asked, "Where's Sweetie?"

I didn't answer, I just lifted my feet and walked straight towards

He grabbed my wrist, a sinking feeling in my heart. I looked at him. coldly, "What do you want?"

Seeing me like this, he raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Tabatha, have you forgotten? This is my territory, you have no right to talk to me like that."

Scum!

With anger bottled up inside me, I forced myself to look at him and said, "So, what are you'trying to say?"

Seeing that I was listening to him, a devilish grin spread across his face. "I had someone bring you hot milk," he said with a reckless. laugh. "Drink it, get a good night's sleep, and regain your color. Wait obediently to become my bride."

I furrowed my brows, "Ezra, I've already done as you asked, what else do you want?"

He chuckled, saying, "I already told Walter at the entrance of the Civil

Affairs Bureau today to prepare the red envelope to bless our wedding, have you forgotten? Don't worry, whatever Walter owes you, I will make up for it without missing a thing, I will definitely make you the most beautiful bride."

"Madman." I spat out in anger, replaceing him increasingly inscrutable. Now with the police and Walter's men all watching him, instead of thinking about leaving River City as soon as possible, he was still planning to stay and have a wedding with me?

It was simply madness.

I shook off his hand and returned to my room, increasingly unable to understand what his purpose was in doing so.

By now, I had made it clear with Walter that he wasn't leaving River City without me. Why did he suddenly say he wanted to have a wedding?
