Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 798

Shocked at first, Paul shrieked excitedly, "Really?" At the same time, Elaine was equally surprised. Previously, she thought that he would not let them go tonight because of his persistence, but never did she expect that Ruben's nonchalance remark would change his mind.

She wondered what Ruben told Vincent.

It must be something compelling since he agreed to let Paul go just like that!

Looking at Ruben, she smiled gratefully at him, and Ruben waved his hand to her, indicating that she should take the frightened Paul out of here.

Therefore, she pulled Paul's hand and ran out of the room.

Allen was shouting desperately behind her. "Elaine, don't leave! If you leave, I'll never forgive you! If your parents find out that you're such a person, they'll beat you up... Ah!"

After Elaine left, Ruben turned around and kicked Allen who was shouting for help.

The kick landed squarely on Allen's chest that he fell to the floor, wailing in pain.

Ruben growled at him indignantly, " despised him and said, "Instead of doing something serious and legal, you break into other people's house and even kidnap a woman. Shame on you!"

Vincent followed Elaine and Paul out.

With that, Ruben turned around and went out as well.

When she was about to leave with Paul, she heard a man's faint voice coming from the stairs. "Where do you plan to go at this late hour?"

Turning around, she saw that Vincent was slowly walking down the stairs.

Her heart thumping nervously, she opened her eyes wide and stared at him nervously.

"Where do you want to go at this late hour?"

Vincent came to her and repeated.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, she blurted, "Since Paul is fine, I will leave with him right now. Thank you for your hospitality these days, Mr. Bradbury."

Instantly, Ruben felt that the air in the room turned cold.

As he looked at Vincent, he looked extremely gloomy.

Massaging his forehead helplessly, Ruben looked at Elaine speechlessly. Why would she speak to him in such a tone? Did she try to provoke Vincent to reveal his brutal side again? He didn't know whether to say that she was bold or ignorant.

"Leave?" Vincent's expression was as stiff and cold as a statue. "How do you plan to leave?"

She bit her lips.

Indeed, she didn't know how to leave this place since there was no car nor bus at this hour.

But if she didn't leave, she had to stay here.

And she didn't want to stay here with him.

"Ahem."

Clearing his throat, Ruben stepped forward to mediate the dispute again, "What about this? It is getting late now, so why don't you stay at my place for a night? I'll see you off tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Before Elaine could say anything, Paul immediately jumped out and shouted, "No, we must leave today. I don't want to stay here anymore! Let's go!"

This place was like hell to him and he didn't even want to stay for one second. He just wanted to leave right now.

Glaring at him, Ruben wished he could smack Paul right there and then if he weren't Elaine's brother.

But he couldn't do that. He could only smile dryly and teased, "Tell me, how do you plan to leave?"

"If you don't have a car to send us out, well walk out of here!"

"If you want to leave, go ahead, but what about your sister? Do you want to drag her to suffer with you in the middle of the night?"

Suffer? She wouldn't die from exhaustion by walking this mere distance. When they were living in the countryside, Elaine had to climb the hill by herself, which was even more suffering than now.

If it was in the past, Paul would naturally say it out loud.

But things were different now. He could see that these two men were treating Elaine very kindly.

Moreover, after what happened last night, he didn't want to make Elaine even more annoyed, so he had to watch his tongue.

Therefore, Paul looked at Elaine quietly.

Pursing her lips as she thought about what Ruben said, she backed down and asked, "Mr. Lawson, may I know if this is your residence?"

Ruben did not know what she was going to do, so he nodded and replied, "I'll stay here for the time being."

"Can my brother and I stay here for one night? We will leave first thing in the morning tomorrow."

Ruben blinked, astounded.

Then, he subconsciously turned to Vincent, and sure enough, he saw his expression become gloomy again.

What the hell!

Elaine kept challenging Vincent's patience! If it were someone else today, she would have died hundreds of times.

He had been by Vincent's side for so many years, and this was the first time he realized how patient Vincent could be.

Reluctant to be the decision- maker, Ruben glanced at Vincent and asked tentatively, "What do you think? Should they stay here for a night?"

Vincent's eyes were fixed on her, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

Just as Ruben was about to say something, Vincent lifted his feet and left with an unpleasant expression, and huffed, "Up to her."

After that, he disappeared into the night.

Paul let out a sigh of relief. The most terrifying man had finally left.

In a daze, she lowered her head quietly. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked, "Mr. Lawson, can you please take us to our room? It's getting late."

Ruben nodded. "Come with me."

Elaine followed. Ruben pointed to two bedrooms and said, "Each of you can sleep in one room. If you need anything, you can ask me. I am in the master bedroom."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ruben looked at her with a complicated expression. "Miss Jacob, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Since you think you shouldn't say it, then don't."

Ruben stared at her, perplexed.

"Good night, Mr. Lawson."

After that, she motioned to Paul to go back to the bedroom, and she also turned and entered the room.

Again, Ruben stood still, speechless.

She lay on the bed, but couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned while sorting out her messy mind, feeling extremely uneasy.

However, she was not the only one who couldn't sleep that night.

There was another man who suffered torment mentally.

The next day, when Elaine woke up, she realized that it was getting late. She didn't feel sleepy until dawn, so she planned to take a quick nap and leave with Paul first thing in the morning.

However, it was almost noon when she opened her eyes.

She quickly got up and went out, but just as she was about to knock on Paul's door, Ruben's voice came from the living room, "Miss Jacob, are you up? Come and have breakfast with us."

Observing that Paul's bedroom door was open, she frowned and walked over after finding that there was no one inside.

In the living room, Ruben and Paul were sitting at the dining table, with breakfast in front of them.

"Elaine, come and eat!" Paul looked more energetic than yesterday. "There's so much food. Come and eat something. It's all your favorite!"

She was so pissed off by him right now. "What are you doing? Come here! When did you get up?"
