Free Web NovelChapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Will He Come for Her? I Hope Not
"This place is..." Aurelia Shaw took a step forward, her hand was grabbed.
She looked down and saw her hand in Robert’s hand.
When they were running away, the situation was too critical to mind such details, so she hadn’t noticed this.
Aurelia raised her hand, the one held by Robert, and waved it twice in front of him, jokingly smiling, "Can you let go?"
Robert saw he was holding Aurelia’s hand, his face suddenly turned red, as if he had touched some plague, he quickly let go and hid his fingers behind his back.
"Don’t get the wrong idea, I have no such thoughts towards you! The terrain here is complex, I was just afraid you’d get lost, that’s why I held on to you. I warn you, don’t fall for me just because of this, I’m not interested in your type!" Robert rattled off.
He realized Aurelia wasn’t listening to him at all.
Aurelia was busy inspecting the room.
Instantly, a sense of defeat washed over him.
His fingers, still warm from the touch, clenched slightly, his heart inexplicably raced. He thought to himself, how could this woman’s hand be so soft, it felt like holding nothing; he worried he might crush it.
"What was this place before?" Aurelia picked up a bullet from the table.
Robert took a glance and said, "This used to be a military base, there might be some leftover weapons around."
"There certainly are." Aurelia bent down and picked up something buried in dust, it would be impossible to find without careful inspection, and it turned out to be a gun.
Aurelia blew off the dust on it.
The barrel had already aged, it was hard to tell if it would still fire; there were five rounds in the magazine.
"You’re not thinking of taking that thing outside, are you?" Robert looked at the gun in Aurelia’s hand.
He had been familiar with guns since he was a child.
In his impression, women from the East were all gentle and timid kinds, although this Eastern woman indeed defied all his perceptions in every aspect.
But seeing such a petite woman holding a gun was still hard for Robert to accept.
"Are you planning to fight them barehanded?" Aurelia tucked the gun into her back waist, "You heard them just now, right? They all have guns in their hands, if we fight them barehanded, we’d be shot before we even got close."
"You can use a gun, right?" Aurelia asked.
"Of course I can!"
Aurelia: "Good, later while we run, we’ll search, if you find a gun, pick it up, don’t worry about whether it works, just keep it on you for self-defense."
"Are you... really a woman?" Robert asked hesitantly.
Aurelia tilted her chin looking at Robert.
Her shirt was torn below and tied around her waist, her waist was slender, two buttons were missing from the collar, exposing elegant collarbones.
Her eyes were like peach blossoms, mischievous and arrogant.
"Do you like saying useless things?" Aurelia opened the door and glanced out, "No one’s around."
Robert followed behind.
Looking at the woman’s slender yet strikingly beautiful back, Robert felt another wave of frustration.
Who’s supposed to be rescuing whom here!
He felt like this woman didn’t need his rescue at all!
The cage had opened itself, no one was holding her back, she was even alerting for both of them, causing them to escape now.
And she was the one leading the escape.
Why did he feel like he was just a big burden?
Aurelia touched the earring on her right ear, the man was targeting Mason Nightshade, could Mason have already received the message? Could he be on his way here already?
