Queen Revenge

I stepped out from the stairway and called out behind him, “Walker Richter.”

He remained oblivious and pressed the code to open the door, ready to enter the house.

“Walker Richter,” I stride forward, stopping in front of him as he enters, my eyes transfixed, “Walker Richter, what do you mean? Avoiding me on purpose are you.”

During the daytime, he called out to him as if he hadn’t heard me, and now he did the same, a nameless fire sprang up.

Walker Richter looked at me, those eyes were serious, staring earnestly at my lips, half silent.

My fire got bigger and I asked him, “How did you pass out in the abandoned factory that day, what did they do to you? Why did you … go, you know Ben Richter will not let you go, why did you take the risk, you almost died in that fire do you know.”

If Yao Mubai didn’t go that day, both he and I would have been buried in the fire.

I had a lot of questions, I wanted to know what happened that day, I wanted to know why Ben Richter left the company.

Walker Richter abruptly smiled, he reached out and touched my face, his voice was low and magnetic: “Alva.”

His tone carried a touch of loving tenderness.

I clearly felt the warmth of my fingers touching my face, and for a moment, my brain was confused, not knowing how to react.

“President Richter,” Emily broke the silence.

Walker Richter retracted his hand, yes, retracted, as if he had touched something he shouldn’t have, carefully.

His brow was cool and his tone was consistently cool, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I deliberately waited for you here.” I frowned and asked him, “Why are you avoiding me?”

“No.”

He answered dryly and sharply.

Dropping that, he headed inside, removing the jacket he was wearing and handing it to Emily, then he rolled up his sleeves and sat on the couch, giving me a sidelong glance, “It’s getting late, so be safe on the road.”

This is the meaning of giving an expulsion order.

I also came to temper, sat down opposite him, “Tell me the reason and I’ll go, why are you avoiding me, why are you going to save me?”

He was still staring at my lips, his face expressionless, “I’m not avoiding you.”

After a pause, he added, “You’re SWEETHEART’s mother, I just didn’t want her to lose her mother.”

“That’s all?”

I didn’t believe him, he had clearly …

“Just this.” His tone didn’t rise or fall a bit, as if he was just stating a fact.

“But your Ulysses Will clearly said he wanted to live together as a family …”

“It was just an off-the-cuff remark, and I’d forgotten I said it until you reminded me.”

Just off the cuff …

He was just teasing me?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

I took a few dark breaths and smiled, only there was no warmth in my smile, “Walker Richter, whatever you went to save me for, I want to say thank you for going to save me.”

He sat, head bowed in silence, there was something subtle about the atmosphere, but I couldn’t tell what was wrong.

I turned on my side and pressed down the nameless fire in my heart and said, “I heard everything you said to Ben Richter on the phone that day, and I also know that you hired Mr. Huang to treat my leg, but now it seems that I was overthinking it, and that I’m actually nothing more than a pawn in the fight between you and Ben Richter, and that you forced Ben Richter to take one step to the You forced Ben Richter to kidnap me, right? Now that Ben Richter has severed his relationship with the Richter family, you have won, and I have no more use for you, Walker Richter, I won’t have any more expectations from now on, you will just be sweetheart’s father from now on.”

After I said that, I was rather more clogged up inside because when I turned back to Walker Richter, he was staring out of the window with a godforsaken look on his face and wasn’t even listening to what I was saying.

“I’m leaving.”

The fire in me flared up again, and if I didn’t leave, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist saying something else.

Hearing me say I’m leaving, Walker Richter didn’t react at all either, his gaze was still fixed outside, even Emily who was on the side was embarrassed for me, “Ms. Alva, I’ll see you off.”

I took one last look at Walker Richter and left with a sense of gambling, Emily followed and chased me out, “Ms. Alva.”

She walked me all the way downstairs, wanting to say something, “Ms. Alva, don’t take President Richter’s words to heart, that’s not what he meant.”

“Secretary Ai, don’t speak for him, I’ve known him for so long, don’t I know him well? In order to achieve his goal, he can sacrifice everything, including his own marriage isn’t it?”

“President Richter has a hard time.” Emily spoke for Walker Richter, “In President Richter’s heart, you are irreplaceable, believe me, President Richter loves you, he just … ”

“Just what?”

Emily very entangled like, half a day before stifling a sentence: “He is just not good at expressing, men, where can understand the woman’s small heart.”

“Heh.” I laughed coldly: “Secretary Ai, I once saw what he looks like when he loves someone, he is not bad at expressing himself, on the contrary, men are smarter than anything, they are not unaware of women, but they feel that this woman is not important and unnecessary.”

Walker Richter is so good at pleasing girls, he can even pick the stars in the sky and give them to me, and how can he not understand women when he says all those mushy earthy love words?

The wind in the night was cold, cooling the newly warm heart once again.

“Ms. Alva, you give President Richter a little more time.” Emily’s tone was a little eager; she was pleading for him.

She’s just a secretary and she’s doing this for him?

I sized Emily up, she was pretty, tall, her features weren’t stunning, stunning, but the more I looked at her, the more durable and attractive she became.

“You like him.”

I said a statement, not a question.

A flash of nervousness flashed across Emily’s face, the panic of having her secret poked out.

“Ms. Alva, I, I …” she tried to explain, but in the end, she lowered her eyes and the corner of her mouth curved up into a bitter smile, “President Richter is so good and charismatic, and what woman can resist?”

Right.

General women can’t resist, not to mention Emily stayed beside Walker Richter for such a long time, and took care of sweetheart for such a long time, Walker Richter almost always stayed over here, equivalent to the three of them living under the same roof, Emily if Walker Richter has no heart at all, that should be strange.

Emily looked at the streetlight next to her and let out a long breath of relief, the relief of having the secret in her heart out.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, a longing in her eyes, “I’ve thought about President Richter looking back at me, but that’s just a fool’s errand, isn’t it? I’ve been by his side for so many years, I know what he is most jealous of, if I let him know what’s on my mind, I won’t be able to stay by his side anymore, in fact, to be able to stay by his side like this is already very content, I’m much luckier than Tina Deross.”

I was surprised for a moment in my heart, I didn’t expect Emily to know Tina Deross’s mind as well.

“You … how do you know Tina Deross she …”

“Not only do I know that Tina Deross is in love with President Richter, I also know the entanglement between the three of them, President Richter and Ben Richter and Tina Deross.” Emily smiled and asked me, “Wanna hear about it?”
