Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 48

“Oh, he’s your adoptive brother? Good. So where’s our beloved?” Tedy asked as he sat his body on the sofa in Luci’s flat. Sometimes his eyes still stare at Spider who is still standing.

Even though Spider already knew that the relationship between Tedy and Luci was nothing more than a relationship between two people who were working – and never forget Luci considered Tedy a sibling and vice versa – but somehow Spider was still so sensitive about Tedy.

Especially if the man with a very smooth face as smooth as a baby’s bottom said words similar to intimacy, for example, the words ‘our beloved’.

That would make Spider ignite with jealousy again. Because after all, Spider only wanted Luci to be intimate with him, not with other men, not with Tedy.

‘Couldn’t that baby-faced man not misunderstand others? People will think he’s Bee’s lover, not me,’ Spider growled in his heart.

“You haven’t brought it out earlier, Lu. Did our beloved take any serious damage?” Tedy continued his questioning.

The man then grabbed the bottle of cola he had been drinking. But after seeing that there was already a glass full of cola in the glass, the man with glasses put the bottle of cola in his hand to switch to taking the glass filled with cola. Tedy drank it greedily.

‘You lowly! Macho men don’t drink like that. Bee shouldn’t go near him, let alone use the term beloved with him.’ Spider smoldered in his heart again.

But because he didn’t want to arouse suspicion of Luci, the head of The Crown sat beside Tedy.

Previously Spider had put his coat on the nearest hanger. The coat was so luxurious it looked so gloomy and dark at the same time. Tedy, who saw it, got goosebumps.

“Uh, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about, Ted. You want some more cola?” Luci tried to persuade Tedy by giving him more cola.

But it wouldn’t be Tedy if he couldn’t tell something was wrong here.

Tedy was a man who had a balanced IQ (logical intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence). Therefore, Tedy could be said to be multi-skilled. He could do a complicated job, but he could also be so warm to other people.

Tedy’s IQ and EQ intelligence were now at work.

On his IQ intelligence, Tedy was analyzing the oddities in Luci’s movements, which are a bit awkward and restless. Not to mention when Luci started offering cola back. Luci was a person who likes to give extra food if she had done something wrong and wanted to apologize.

Then in his EQ intelligence, Tedy felt that there was a different emotion from Luci, namely the emotion of fear. Luci’s eyes were moving wildly everywhere. Then the most important thing was that her eyebrows are a bit down and wistful. It was a sign that there was something that made Luci very sad.

“What happened, Lu?” Tedy asked bluntly.

Tedy’s brown irises were now shining so brown, but his pupils had dilated drastically. It was a sign that he was watching Luci closely.

Luci felt trapped. From the beginning, she should have known that Tedy was a sensitive man. Therefore, Tedy’s kindness and gentle nature (due to his sensitivity to women) made him very popular among women in Tedy’s youth.

Not only in his youth, even now, even though they were married, some women still want to hook Tedy so that the man would become their lover. Shameless indeed!

“A moment. I’ll get something first.” Luci got up to go to his room.

She wanted to take the money that had been given to her by Alan. Never forget Luci grabbed the binding documents that were on the table in front of his room. Then she kept the document in a desk drawer in her room.

Luci then took a blue-black backpack that hung on the wall. Luckily Luci had already counted the number as soon as she arrived at her flat with Spider escorting her earlier.

Before leaving Luci took a deep breath. This was the first time Luci would disappoint Tedy.

And to be honest, Luci was afraid that after this Tedy would run away and not cooperate with Luci anymore. At this probability who would help Luci? And who would be beside Luci as an encouragement?

Spider wasn’t strong enough to replace Tedy. Because after all Tedy already knew a lot about Luci, about her life, about the murder case that dragged Luci’s name, and much more.

“I’m trying to be honest with you, Ted. I hope you appreciate my honesty by not getting angry or avoiding me,” Luci muttered while still in her room.

Luci also prepared herself nervously. Her nervousness in revealing the truth in front of Tedy exceeds her nervousness when attending court about Daniel’s death.

Because at that moment in her heart Luci was feeling confusion and sadness that was bigger than nervousness.

“What’s that? Do you keep it there? Isn’t that a little too small?” Tedy furrowed his smooth brow when he saw Luci had come out of his room with a backpack that didn’t look bloated at all.

If the camouflage equipment was stowed in a backpack then it would be overcrowded. Moreover, the chest and buttocks of the synthetic mask were made so big and inflated by Tedy.

“This… it’s money, Ted.” Luci cleared her throat awkwardly and uncomfortably. She then unzipped the backpack in her hand. Luci’s face was filled with sadness and regret.

Tedy still couldn’t grasp exactly what Luci meant. But what was certain was that there was so much money in the backpack.

Even Spider was surprised, even though Spider had seen the money when he dropped Luci at the Medical Sky hospital this morning.

“What does this mean?” Tedy was still reluctant to touch the money and the backpack, let alone the huge amount of money.

Tedy wasn’t an idiot who couldn’t feel at all what Luci was trying to say.

Tedy already had an idea that it seemed like his handiwork such as synthetic masks, costume jewelry, costume bags, and imitation shoes had been exchanged for the money in the backpack.

However, because Tedy was a man who always thought positively and was reluctant to be suspicious, Tedy was still trying to be calm. Besides that, Tedy also preferred clarity, so the man directly asked Luci the meaning of the money.

Meanwhile, before responding or answering Tedy’s question, Luci couldn’t feel her breath anymore, because she was so nervous and scared.

So far, Tedy was a man who always helped Luci. And during that time Luci knew that Tedy was a little strict and strict about the results of his work. Tedy didn’t like his work items being transferred to random people.

Luci was still on the verge of being scared if it turned out that today, this moment, was the last time Tedy would talk and meet Luci. If that happened then what should Luci do afterward?

“Eh, I sold all our beloved,” Luci replied in a low voice.

Instantly Tedy froze with bloodshot eyes as if he couldn’t believe it. There was a rush of urgency in those eyes, and soon the urge would explode.
