My Stubborn Mistress - Chapter 378

“You have another plan, is it?” Levi asked Quinn.

“Yes. We need him and Gene to work on this plan… and then, I will pretend as Carlisle,” Quinn announced.

The three people in front of him dropped their mouths upon hearing his announcement.

“What do you mean about that, brother Quinn?” Levi asked stunningly. Quinn has wild plans, he thought.

“No one suspects that Carlisle and Marivella run away if people see he’s still here.”

“We will act on hiding Marivella, or like we are kidnapping her?” Charles wants to clarify it.

“Both…” he affirmed.

“Both? Oh— okay,” Charles chuckles nervously.

“Papa…”

“Madison, do you have something on your mind?”

“How about if, I will pretend to be Marivella also?” Madison’s suggestion.

“Madison!” Levi and Carlisle said it once. They looked at each other, then Charles nods at Levi to give way and let him talk.

“Are you certain about this?” asked Levi. “Then, how if I will pretend as Charles as well?”

“Hey! You can’t do that!”

Madison giggles. “You are still way younger.”

“Hey! I’m still young!” Charles complains again.

Watching them amusingly, Quinn chuckles and shakes head. If Levi has a twin, it looks like hilarious chaos.

“Madison, are you sure to pretend as her?”

She nodded, determined to do this for her parents. She won’t allow her mother to die. How will she be born in this world if Marivella dies soon? They must prevent that to happen.

“All right. But Carlisle must not know I will pretend to be him. Doctor Charles, can you get me a few of Carlisle’s cloth and his uniform?”

“I can get them, yes. I will go back to the Palace and talk to Gene.”

“Charles, I need a long hair wig like Marivella.”

“That’s right. And I will do something with your eyes. Marivella has bright brown eyes, and yours is a velvet black.”

“Oh, would the prince notice the difference?”

“He may not, but the other people maybe, like her parents.”

“You are correct, Charles.”

“I will come back immediately.” After saying this, he hastily returned on the road back to the palace.

“Now, brother Quinn?”

“Levi, come with me.”

“Where to?”

“I need clothes to pretend as Marivella.”

“We’ll steal at her house?” Levi’s eyes grow wider, dumbfounded while staring at Madison.

“Yes. While no one left home, let’s go get Mama’s a few clothes.”

Levi scratching his head. “All right. How about you, brother Quinn?” he asked him.

“The fewer people going around is better. Besides, I must watch them over. Might the Royal Guards still looking for them, along with the Korean soldiers.”

Back in the future, just in one dial, he can get anything. But coming in the past, they were like the rebellion, stealing, the heroes, kidnappers, and even actors. Wow. Levi feels overwhelmed by having these thoughts.

“You are right, brother Quinn.”

“We’ll come back quickly, papa,” said Madison then climbed up to Levi’s horse and ride together.

“Take care, Madison, Levi…”

Quinn watches them leaving. Now what? He sighed. The night still young to disturb the couple.

And now that he is alone, he feels too much loneliness. He misses her badly. He may always see Marivella while he is here in the past, but strangely, his heart only longs for Cassandra.

Quinn looks up to the sky. “Cassandra… did you see this beautiful moon I am seeing? I missed you so much. I want to be with you soon.”

He did not notice the tears trailing down from his eyes.

“I love you…”

He sounded was likely sending these words toward the moon and deliver it to Cassandra.

Quinn jumps off from the horse, he pulls the beast toward the woods and tied it somewhere in a tree. From his position, he could see the house but no one could notice him. He rested his back on the tree and closed his eyes, massaging his forehead.

Paris France, 2017

Shun opens his eyes. He had a strange dream last night. Feeling heavier, he drags his body out of the bed and walks toward the shower room. The hot water washes his fatigue. It took him thirty minutes before he finishes his shower and gets clothes on.

His body knows where to go and what to do. Shun paused, then fell in deep thoughts. He saw one luggage in the foot of his bed. Is he going somewhere? Is he going back to Mainland City?

He’s still confused he reaches the first floor of Larry’s house.

“Shun, breakfast is ready— hey, what’s the matter?” Larry wonders why Shun looks at him like in shock. “Hey, Shun! Where are you going?”

“I will come back, Larry!”

It made Larry dumbfounded when Shun suddenly runs outside. “What happens to him?” he murmurs to himself. “Whatever. I will eat alone, then.”

Meanwhile, outside the building, Shun looks around. After remembering the streets, he runs in a certain direction. His heart pounding loudly. His whole body shaking in excitement. Shun heaves a long sighed in front of a door before he presses the doorbell nervously. He listens to the sound coming from the house and remembers something, so he hides.

A girl opens the door. She looks like she just woke up and seem pissed when she found no one in the door. He sighed once again. She is too cute. Oh, she is younger in this life.

The girl is about to close the door when Shun showed up. “Cassandra!”

Her eyes grew bigger. “How did you know—” she pauses. Shun knew already that she’s alive? Confused and surprised, she slams the door closed, then locked it.

“This is not happening!” her mind freaks out.

“Cassandra, open the door,” he begs. “Please!”

“You shouldn’t know yet!”

“Just open the door, let us talk.” He keeps knocking on the door.

She’s confused about what to do. She is not very careful. Shot! What she must do now?

“Cassandra, listen to me. Please, open the door before someone saw me at your doorsteps.”

“You shouldn’t found me yet!”

“But it is me!”

“I know you are Shun!”

“No. It is me…”

“What?” she yells behind the door.

“Okay. Tell me, do you have a mole on your left hip? Lower back?” Shun told her.

She forcibly opens the door and looks at the guy unbelievably with wider and bigger eyes. “You pervert! But I don’t have a mole but birthmark on my back!”

“I am not talking about the Cassandra who’s living in a life that does not exist anymore.”

She’s stunned. “Quinn?”

Finally, he smiled widely. “I can tell every mole in your bod— hmm…”

Cassie covers his mouth and grabbed him inside. “Stop! Might someone heard you and thinks we sleep together like, I was still fifteen years old to this time, you know!”

“And I am asking you to let me in…” he smirked.

Dumbfounded, Quinn is grinning at her, teasing her! It is Quinn whom she knew! Tears suddenly flooded her eyes.

“It is really you?”

“Like what I mentioned earlier, I know where are your moles in your real body,” he grinned.

“Oh, Quinn!” she jumps at him but showered him pinches first before she hugs him so tight. She heard him laughing sexily. It has been too long since she heard his laughs.

“Quinn…” she peered at him lovingly. Put her arms around his neck, she tiptoed to reach his lips and then kisses him wholeheartedly.

“Dear God, if this is a dream, please don’t let me wake up…” she prayed.
