"I can manage. Let’s go. I can see we won’t make it to the market by dark."
"Okay~"
The two of them really did walk for a full day to reach the market.
They didn’t dare stay at an inn. For one, they had no money, and for another, they were afraid of being discovered.
They carried some fruit and other food, plus water. Chloe Marshall was too exhausted to walk. He couldn’t carry her on his back, so he had no choice but to carry her in his arms.
Chloe Marshall knew she was heavy and protested, but she couldn’t win the argument.
He carried her in his arms, with their food and water on his back.
They walked late into the night before finally huddling together to rest.
And just like that, they traveled from the woods to the Capital of Harrowin.
They had walked the entire way.
After walking for two days and two nights, they were so exhausted they couldn’t take another step and sat on the ground to rest for a while.
Carrying enough food and water was a burden in itself.
On the morning of the eighth, they set foot on the soil of the Capital.
His eyes grew a little moist.
But he still held her hand tightly, as if she had already become an inseparable part of his life.
The more he acted this way, the worse Chloe Marshall felt.
’He’s so good to me. How can I ever repay him?’
Around ten o’clock, as they walked down a main street, they suddenly saw a large crowd gathered up ahead. The sounds of cheering and shouting made it impossible not to look over.
The two of them headed in that direction.
The crowd was thick, so he shielded her with his arm, afraid she would be knocked over.
From the edge of the crowd, Chloe Marshall’s eyes picked out the two languages written on a sign.
Above the Fravian text was the local language of Harrowin.
When her eyes landed on the name ’Ethan Ellsworth’, a storm raged in Chloe Marshall’s heart.
He was in Harrowin for a concert.
He was here!
’Would he even recognize me?’
She recklessly plunged into the crowd. Seeing this, Silly called out to her in standard Fravian, but she acted as if she hadn’t heard him, desperately squeezing through the throng of fans to push her way forward.
A fan next to her even yelled in disgust, "Hey, lady! You’re about to pop and you’re still trying to join the fun?!"
But Chloe Marshall didn’t understand the local language and had no idea what they were saying.
Silly, however, shot a sharp glare at the shouting fan, who resentfully fell silent.
"Wifey, where are you going?"
Chloe Marshall couldn’t speak, just pointing insistently at the sign.
"There are too many people. If you want to see, can we just watch from a distance?"
Chloe Marshall shook her head. "I want to go inside and see."
She was about to see him. She had never felt so close, so able to get near him. Chloe Marshall’s heart was about to leap out of her chest, but she was trying hard to calm her emotions.
Silly forcibly pulled her out of the crowd. "There are too many people here! You’ll get crushed!"
"No! I want to see Ethan Ellsworth!"
Silly’s expression tightened. He grabbed her from behind, carried her out of the crowd, and didn’t stop until they were standing on the outskirts.
"What are you doing?! I want to see Ethan Ellsworth!" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Only then did he notice how agitated she was, her eyes red.
"We can see from here, too."
"We can’t! You need to pay to get into the concert. We can’t see anything from here, only him getting out of the car." Her eyes remained fixed on the surging crowd.
"Then let’s not watch. Ain’t I as handsome as him?"
Chloe Marshall fell silent. This wasn’t about looks at all.
"Silly, I’m begging you, just let me get a glimpse, okay? Just one look. Please let me see him, okay?"
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, he glanced over, then took her hand and started walking forward. "Come with me."
She eagerly let him pull her along. They took a long way around and came to a section with a smaller group of fans.
He guided her as they squeezed forward, bit by bit. As long as he didn’t lose her, he would give her anything she wanted.
Finally, with great effort, they managed to get a spot near the front.
Just then, a stretch Lincoln slowly drove toward them, followed by a white luxury car, and finally another stretch Lincoln. It seemed the first and last cars were for bodyguards, while the one in the middle was Ethan Ellsworth’s transport.
A wave of deafening screams erupted. Chloe Marshall watched the fans around her, their faces flushed, hysterically shouting Ethan Ellsworth’s name. It was clear that even abroad, Ethan Ellsworth’s popularity was no joke!
The stadium quickly dispatched a large number of security guards to block the fans from getting closer.
Once the fans were separated from the cars by a fair distance, the bodyguards from the front and rear vehicles got out and stood on either side of the white car’s door.
The cheering died down as everyone’s gaze focused on the white car’s door.
Chloe Marshall’s eyes were also glued to the spot, only about four meters away.
He got out of the car. The instant he waved to the crowd, the screams intensified, and tears streamed down Chloe Marshall’s face.
He was dressed in all white, from his clothes to the leather shoes on his feet.
A handsome suit perfectly showcased his excellent physique. He had a cool hairstyle and a strikingly handsome, smiling face.
By the time she came to her senses, the man she was watching was already walking toward the stadium entrance.
"Ethan Ellsworth!!!" Chloe Marshall screamed with all her might.
He paused.
With tears in her eyes, Chloe Marshall shouted again, "Ethan Ellsworth!!!"
One after another, the calls came, each one more heartbroken and desperate than the last. ƒreewebɳovel.com
But how could her cries be heard over the screams of countless female fans?
They were so close. She saw him, but he didn’t turn around.
The bodyguard beside him seemed to ask what was wrong when he paused, but he just shook his head with a smile.
Chloe Marshall wanted to break through the security line and run to him, but she was powerless. Silly gripped her hand tightly, and a security guard shouted at her to stand back.
Watching him walk further and further away, Chloe Marshall didn’t stop shouting.
She shouted until she was out of breath, but he still didn’t seem to hear her.
Finally, her body swayed, and she paused to steady herself.
"Wifey, don’t get so worked up. You’ve seen him. Should we go?"
Chloe Marshall stood there, numb in body and soul.
Her throat felt like it was on fire. Watching the white figure about to disappear into the entrance, she let out one last cry, "Boss Ellsworth!!!"
Then, Silly forcibly guided her out of the crowd.
Ethan Ellsworth suddenly whipped his head around, his eyes searching the sea of dark heads.
The fans, seeing their idol turn back from the entrance, didn’t know why but continued to scream.
A moment ago, he had clearly heard her voice. Was it a hallucination?
His bright eyes quickly dimmed.
He turned and strode into the stadium entrance.
His entourage of bodyguards followed close behind.
Silly pulled Chloe Marshall away. Her body was already struggling to cope after traveling for two days and two nights.
Or perhaps she just didn’t want to leave. As she walked, she suddenly shook off Silly’s hand.
"I’m so tired."
Silly said to her, "All that crying and shouting, on top of the exhaustion from the last two days, how could you not be tired? He’s just a male celebrity. You sang his song for me that one time, and now you’re infatuated with the man himself."
Chloe Marshall didn’t want to explain. She just said, "I wanted to. Is that a problem?"
"Fine. Now that we’re in Kythor, let’s get settled first. We’ll find a place close to the hospital."
Chloe Marshall pouted. "Neither of us has any money. How are we going to get settled?"
Silly chuckled. "You don’t have to worry about that. I told you, I’ll make sure you have a good life."
"Okay."
She followed behind him, walking further and further away from the stadium.
So close, yet they had passed each other by.
The greatest distance in the world isn’t standing in front of you while you don’t know I love you; it’s standing right in front of you, but you, who love me, can’t see me.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the most expensive hospital in Harrowin. Chloe Marshall was a little timid. "Silly, this place looks so expensive. We’ll get thrown out if we go in, won’t we?"
He just looked at the main entrance calmly. "Expensive? What do you think of this place?"
Chloe Marshall nodded. "Is that even a question? It must be really nice."
"Do you like it?"
"I do."
He took her hand and nodded. "Good, then this is it. Let’s find an apartment first. Slow down, be careful with the chain on your ankle."
Chloe Marshall nodded. "Okay."
The two went to a residential complex next to the hospital to look at apartments.
The prices shocked even Chloe Marshall, who had seen it all. She pulled him aside and whispered, "Silly, let’s go. A two-bedroom apartment here costs five or six million. How can we possibly afford that?"
The real estate agent saw their shabby appearance—the woman with a chain on her ankle, the man’s face as dirty as a scavenger’s—but despite their clothes, they carried themselves with a certain air of nobility.
"Are you buying? If not, please leave. This is a sales office."
"Of course we’re buying," Silly said, perfectly composed. "We’ll take this one. The three-bedroom on the third floor."
Chloe Marshall gasped.
"But that’s over eight million!"
He smiled at her. "Wifey, we have money."
Chloe Marshall felt like weeping. ’People like *us* have money?!’
She couldn’t believe it herself.
She resigned herself to being thrown out by the sales staff.
The salesperson looked at him doubtfully. "Can you really afford it?"
"Pay now."
At those two words, the agent’s face immediately broke into a grin. "Of course, of course! This way, sir!"
When he took out a card and handed it to her, the agent became even more enthusiastic, calling him "sir" with every breath.
Chloe Marshall followed Silly upstairs.
The one they bought was the sales office’s model unit. It was already decorated, which saved them time and effort.
The apartment was beautifully decorated inside, with a very warm and cozy layout.
Silly looked at her. "Wifey, are you satisfied?"
Chloe Marshall was still in a daze. "Where did you—"
His finger sealed her lips. He looked at her seriously and said, "I’ll tell you later."
Seeing the sales agent was still there, Chloe Marshall could only nod.
"It’s a very nice apartment."
"We weren’t originally planning to sell this unit, but since you’ve taken a liking to it, sir, we’ll have to part with our beloved."
Chloe Marshall rolled her eyes. ’This saleswoman really knows how to talk. If she wasn’t getting a single penny, would she still be willing to ’part with her beloved’?’
