After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 885: Missed Me?

Natalie Niles did hide, but at this moment she is in Connor’s arms.

She isn’t hiding from Connor, but from those guards.

Ben Hunter’s study connects to another room, he deliberately brought Connor upstairs to let the two young people meet.

He reads in the study while letting Connor coax his girlfriend in the next room.

The room has quite good soundproofing, Ben can’t hear what the two are saying and has no intention of eavesdropping. He just feels the probability of these two getting together is so low, letting them stay a little longer is a good thing.

Natalie rests her face on Connor’s chest, listening to his heartbeat, and smiles gently.

"I was just thinking last night, if only you could hold me for a bit, and today it actually happened."

"You missed me? Was it just last night or every night?"

Connor’s voice is soft, his arms tightening around her as if afraid he might loosen his grip and she’ll vanish again, off to cause trouble.

Like a child who has made a mistake, she tugs at Connor’s sleeve and says in a low voice, "I killed your brother."

"Now you’re telling me? What were you doing earlier? When things couldn’t be covered up, you just left me behind and ran off? You’re quite impressive, the whole of S Kingdom was sealed off but you managed to escape, you didn’t possibly use the KS Organization’s channel again, did you?"

The KS Organization controls two airports in S Kingdom, outwardly following the King’s orders but often defying them secretly. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Natalie shakes her head, "I didn’t use KS’s power again, otherwise I’d never be able to escape them for the rest of my life, always having to work for them. I used Young Master Hunter’s power."

Connor let out a sigh of relief, "My family’s Young Master is really great!"

"You’re not angry with me?"

"Angry for what?"

"I killed Prince Ollen, and it led to you getting involved and forcibly taken back to the S Kingdom."

"Not angry, I’ve slowly gotten used to it. It’s a good thing, isn’t it? Young Master said, to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If I wasn’t the prince, I’d never reach the heights I have now or possess what I do now."

Connor’s voice is low and slow, holding Natalie tightly, as if drawing strength from her.

"At first, I did resist, because I don’t recognize that man as my father, and whatever brother I’ve never even met. There’s a rumor that my mom was abandoned by the King, and she died of heartbreak and illness. I have no sense of belonging there, no familial ties with them, not bothered to save their country or defend them against invaders."

"But now it’s different. Now everything is mine. I can’t hand over such immense wealth, my country, my status, to anyone! Men should make achievements, defend their country, and protect the woman they love."
