Chapter 510: He Is Just a Bodyguard
Connor got up, exhausted, and walked out.He returned home, curled up on the sofa, and the long-suppressed tears burst forth in painful agony.
The sky gradually darkened.
Connor was too tired and fell asleep on the sofa.
Someone walked in, bringing a scent of high-end perfume, and approached him.
"Connor."
She reached out and nudged Connor.
Connor’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and he grabbed her waist in the dark: "Natalie!"
The body he held stiffened slightly, then spoke dryly: "Connor, it’s me, I’m Cora."
Connor released his grip, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.
Yes, Natalie Niles never used perfume.
Cora Ginger never used perfume before either, but since she started dating Boss Barnes, she began liking various high-end perfumes.
His voice was hoarse, carrying a sense of distance: "Why are you here?"
When he was lying in the hospital, telling her he was dying and wanted to see her one last time, why didn’t she come to see him?
Why suddenly come to his house now?
Cora Ginger did not answer the question: "You just called Natalie? Is it the Natalie Niles I know?"
"You heard wrong."
"You and her..."
"Get out!"
Connor exploded suddenly, shouting angrily.
Cora Ginger was startled, she had never seen Connor so fierce before. She didn’t even know he had such a terrifying side!
He seemed to have turned into a wild, bloodthirsty wolf, ready to tear her apart in the next moment!
Cora Ginger backed up several steps with a pale face, asking: "I came to ask if you took my fiancé away again? I couldn’t reach him for the past two days."
"Not my problem."
"Last time it was you who took him away, this time..."
"This time it wasn’t me."
Connor’s words were brief, his throat was in unbearable pain, and speaking was torture for him.
He had long lost any need to take Peter Barnes away. He had told Cora Ginger a month ago that Peter Barnes marrying her was just a setup, but she didn’t listen.
Truth be told, Peter Barnes is indeed a more qualified fiancé than he is as a boyfriend.
Not only did he help the Ginger Family pay off debts, but he also bought Cora Ginger various expensive luxury goods, tailored her a luxurious princess dress, bought her limited edition crystal shoes, took her to various high-end evening parties and balls, and rented a luxury yacht to propose to her with romantic candlelight.
In just a week, she went from Cinderella to a socialite in A City’s elite circle, always having luxury cars picking her up, with six servants by her side, more extravagant than Isabella Weaver, the Young Madam of the Hunter Family. She became the envy of everyone, the soon-to-be Mrs. Barnes.
Connor admitted, all these were things he could not provide.
Cora Ginger was right; he was just a bodyguard.
He finally understood what kind of life Cora Ginger truly desired.
It was since then that he decided to let go, and also since then, that he brought Natalie Niles home and took care of her every day.
Cora Ginger hesitated for a moment, but finally left. Before she walked out, she couldn’t help but turn back: "You seem to have a fever, you should go to the hospital!"
Connor did not respond, quietly sitting on the sofa, as if he were a statue.
Cora Ginger quickly left.
Peter Barnes suddenly disappeared again. The wedding was originally set for tomorrow, but with him missing, what’s going to happen with the wedding?
She was worried, but Connor said it wasn’t him, so where should she look for him?
She couldn’t get into the Barnes Family anymore, the luxury Lincoln wasn’t available for her, and the servants were nowhere to be seen.
She had a vague sense of a very bad premonition.
