Darling, Don’t Run Away! - Chapter 265

Luna, Liam, and Sabrina just arrived at the second-floor gazebo when they heard the shooting sound. When they come, James already went back to his room.

Leaving only Raymond, Barbara, and a few other of maids who gather at the side of the terrace.

Seeing Hero’s fur is covered with blood, Luna immediately runs to the dog and Raymond. “What happens?” She asked while searching for a wound on Hero’s body.

“It’s not Hero’s blood, darling,” Raymond reply to his wife and bends down. “Hero kills dad’s dog, and he got angry. That’s why he tries to kill Hero.” Raymond petting on Hero’s head while explaining to Luna.

Hearing the explanation from Raymond, Luna jaw open with a bit surprised. “Why? Why did Hero kill your father’s dog?”

“I don’t know, darling. But, Hero will not kill if he’s not threatened.” Raymond smiles and averts his eyes back to the few maids who are still standing at the corner of the terrace.

Raymond was then signaling them to come closer. “Bath my dog. Make sure you feed him and put on the collar before you guys send him to my room. And don’t forget to find where he hid the remains of my father’s dog. Bury it if you guys have found it.” Raymond gives out the instruction and looks at the dog afterward.

“You…behave and don’t cause any more trouble. Got it? You’re grounded to eat any wet food for a week.”

Hero could only whine before he lowered his head a bit. Luna also sighing and remind Hero for the second time. “Do not cause trouble Hero, remember that.”

After the maid takes the dog out from the terrace, both of them look at Barbara. Barbara is now getting treatment on her elbow and knee. It’s not a deep wound, but it still may leave a scar later. After all, she’s not that young anymore.

“You’re okay, mom?” Raymond asked. A little worry about her.

“Do I look okay to you? All you care about is your stupid dog. Just like your dad.” Barbara snarl at her son, and Raymond reply with a smile on his face.

Chuckles, “Aren’t I is your husband’s son? You can’t expect me to always be a weak and obedient son, mom, you know that, don’t you? I’ll always protect someone I love dearly. So..you better watch out. But, of course, I still love you too, mom.” Raymond places his hand around Luna’s waist, and before they went back inside, Luna turns her head and looks at Barbara.

She bends down a little and whispers, “You know…I got the feeling like you just get your karma back. Hmm…why is it, though?” She chuckles and walks pass by her.

Hearing it from Luna’s mouth makes her blood boiled. She dares to mock her in front of her servants! “Dammit,” she clenches her fist before she’s squinting her eyes a bit.

“If you’re not feeling good, you can rest inside, Barbara. I’ll ask a few maids to attend you.” Sabrina said and signal the maid to bring Barbara back to her room.

Today was really odd, two incidents in a row. Like they really venting their anger without holding back now. Sabrina then looks at the third-floor terrace where she could see the little Sky was sitting there, eating his sunflower seeds.

He waves his hand to Sabrina while mouthing at her, “Hi, aunt!”

Sabrina squints her eyes and signals him to get down and get back into his bedroom. It almost dark right now, and they have to get ready for dinner. After dinner, Raymond and Luna will be returning to their home, and they’ll meet tomorrow night again at the banquet hall for Ben’s engagement held in New York downtown.

…

Hotel suite room,

“Ah! Uncle Jay,” Alex immediately climbed down from his bed and went to the guy who just entered the room. Jamal looks a bit surprised to see the energetic Alex, who still hasn’t sleep yet.

“Hey, it’s already past your bedtime, why are you still up?” he asked while carrying Alex in his arm. Looking at his little master, left and right. Worried if something happens to this little fella.

“Uh, I’m okay, Uncle Jay.” He replied to Jamal’s question. Knowing the meaning of his ‘glare’ from left to right. Alex then smiles before pointing his index finger on the sofa in the hall beside his bedroom.

“I prepare something for you for tomorrow’s event. You MUST wear it tomorrow, okay?” Alex gives him strict instructions while staring right at Jamal’s face. Making Jamal frowned before he glances at the elegant black suit. It looks a bit different than his usual uniform.

“Why?” He asked. Feeling a bit strange for a little kid to prepare him a particular suit.

“Since you’re my butler, then dress like one. I especially pick the material. It’ll come in handy one day. By the way…don’t thank me.” Alex pushes Jamal’s hand a little before he jumps down from his hand and goes back to bed. Leaving Jamal standing there, dumbstruck.

“Uncle Jay…hurry up and take the suit with you. I need to sleep now.” Alex shakes his head when he sees Jamal was still standing idly there. He knows, maybe Jamal had so many questions in his head. However, he doesn’t plan to answer any of his issues right now.

After all, he was so excited about tomorrow’s event. He finally can meet his mother again after a few months apart. And to think that maybe he might get another sibling, it excites him more.

Hearing Alex’s command, Jamal stride to the sofa and took the suit with him. He looks at the design, and as Alex’s said before, it is looked like a butler suit. Well, very detailed and look grand. The material also feels different than any silk from his wardrobe.

Just thinking how rich this brat’s father is..Jamal sighs inwardly. ‘Such a lucky child to be born rich!’

Turning his body around, he saw that Alex already close his eyes, and he could hear his steady breathing. Smiling, he went to the side of the bed and gently stroke his head. “Thank you, young master Alex.”

…

New York downtown,

“Honey, why don’t I know you carry a gun with you?” Luna suddenly voices up on what’s in her mind since this evening. She has been wanting to ask him about why he carries a gun with him and even dare to point it to his own father.

Raymond slightly smiles before he touched his chin with his index finger. “Hmm…just for a safety purpose. Nothing that you should worry about, darling.” Of course, he doesn’t want to worry his wife about the real reason he had to carry a gun with him.

First, it really for a safety purpose, and second is because he doesn’t want anyone to think that he still the weak and obedient Raymond. He’ll do anything to protect his wife. Even if that means he needs to blow up his father’s head tonight.

Maybe he really inherits his father’s ruthlessness. Well, he’s the one who teaches him to be merciless, ain’t he?

“You know how terrified I was when I saw you holding that gun? I have been holding back my fear, so I..”

“I’m sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to scare you. After all, It really worth it this time.” He holds Luna’s hands, squeezes it gently. “I really don’t want to gamble on Hero’s life. I would do the same if it were you..”

Luna scrunches her eyebrow. When she wants to open her mouth, Raymond said again. “No! I actually really gonna shoot that old man if he dares to point his gun on you without any second wait.”

Luna’s sighing. She really doesn’t want to say anything. Of course, she was relieved that Raymond does care about her. But at the same time, she also doesn’t want to put him in a tight situation. Where he needs to choose between his family or her.

But judging by his character, she knew, Raymond will always choose her and put his life on the line. Just look at how he almost kills Max when he knew that guy ‘kill’ her back then.

While she lost in her trains of thought, her phone chimes with a new message from Dania. She’s updating Luna about Sarah’s situation as her request earlier today.

Picking up her phone, Luna scroll on her screen. Reading the content before she was slowly smiling, which is caught Raymond’s attention.

“Something good happens?” He asked.

Nodded, Luna brings his hand, which still holding hers and kiss on the back of his hand gently. “Yeah. Something amusing.”

“Care to share it with me?”

Chuckles, she shakes her head before she was sticking out her tongue. “Nope. Just wait until tomorrow. We’ll have bait for the culprit.”

“Hmm…why it sounded so s.e.xy when you say something so sly like that?” Raymond lift up his eyebrow a bit. The road back to their penthouse seems clear from the ‘normal’ traffic jam.
