Early in the morning, the bright sunlight shone through the glass window onto Murray.
He opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying in lissa’s bed.
He rubbed his temples, and the mories gradually ca back to him.
He rembered that last night, he went to attend the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Yale Corporation, but Adela drugged him.
Fortunately, he had strong willpower, so he didn’t fall into her trap and left at the critical mont.
Later, Alex took him to lissa.
His fiancée opened the door and entered the room. "Are you awake?"
"Yes." He nodded.
Thinking of what lissa had said to him last night, Murray looked sullen.
"Are you feeling better?" She asks as she walks up to him.
"Yes," He replied coldly.
Seeing that he was unhappy, lissa held his hand. "What’s wrong?"
"Why did you reject last night?" Murray’s handso face was tense, and his tone was upset.
lissa suddenly realized that he was angry about this, and smiled.
"Didn’t I explain it to you last night? If you don’t accept it, I will need to reconsider our engagent."
Murray was speechless.
"Reconsider no more. You are mine," Murray said domineeringly, stretched out his hand, and embraced lissa’s shoulder.
"I will respect you," he said as he leaned over and moved his thin lips to lissa’s ear.
Leaning against Murray’s chest and listening to his llow voice, lissa felt satisfied.
"Thank you," she replied with a slight nod.
"I hope I will marry you as soon as possible," He said as he ruffled her fringe and twisted it around his fingers.
"Dream on." lissa smiled.
She suddenly rembered sothing and said, "By the way, I cook breakfast. Try it."
"For ?" Murray asked in surprise.
"Yes." lissa curved her lips.
She rarely cooked.
"Then I’m so lucky." He smiled in satisfaction.
"Get up. I’ll wait for you in the dining room." lissa stood up, feeling delighted.
Murray finished washing up and went after her.
At the dining table, the hint of unhappiness disappered and Murray was overwheld by happiness when noticed the breakfast made by lissa.
"Have a taste. Do you like it?" She picked up a fried egg and placed it on his plate.
The man raised his eyebrows and said in an exaggerated tone, "My wife is the best cook in the world."
lissa was speechless and rolled her eyes at him. "Who is your wife? You’re so shaless."
"You will be my wife very soon." Murray smirked.
"By the way, who drugged you last night?" lissa changed the subject.
"Adela." His face darkened as he thought of what had happened last night.
"I knew it was her," lissa muttered.
"You guessed it?" Murray was stunned for a mont.
She smiled as she took out her phone and clicked on the news.
Murray took the phone and looked down at it.
It was the shocking news of Adela fooling around with a gigolo at the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Yale Corporation.
"Adela’s reputation has been ruined." lissa pursed her lips thoughtfully. "Did you arrange the gigolo for her?"
Since Adela had drugged him, she couldn’t have called a gigolo over.
lissa guessed what had happened.
Murray returned the phone to lissa and sneered. "It was just a small punishnt."
"Adela loves you. Aren’t you afraid that she will be sad because of what you did?" lissa said half-jokingly.
"Are you jealous?" Murray chuckled.
"Of course not." lissa picked up a piece of tart and put it into his mouth.
"I have to leave for a few days." lissa suddenly rembered sothing.
"Where are you going?" Murray asked concerned.
"I will go to Los Angeles with Nina," She replied, "We are going to ask Tom for an explanation."
anwhile, lissa’s phone rang, it was Nina calling.
"She must be calling to urge to go to the airport". lissa thought.
She quickly answered the phone, "Nina, wait for . "I’ll go to the hotel after breakfast and go to the airport with you..."
"lissa, a big earthquake happened in Los Angeles!" Nina said, before lissa could fisnish her words.
lissa was shocked.
"What?" She asked.
"Tom called just now and said that there was a big earthquake there. His house collapsed, and he was trapped under the ruins." Nina cried.
"How could it be possible," lissa said subconsciously, "how could there be a big earthquake?"
"It’s true. Tom just called , but he hung up after saying a few words. I called back but couldn’t get through to him," Nina said anxiously, "I’ll go to the airport right away. I want to go to Los Angeles to find him."
"Nina, don’t panic. Wait for at the hotel. I’ll go to you imdiately." She pondered for a mont. "If there was a earthquake in L.A, all the flights will be grounded. Even if we go to the airport, it will be useless."
"lissa, I’m so scared. Will Tom be alright?" She was so worried about him that she beca incoherent.
"Wait for ."
lissa hung up the phone. Just as she was about to speak, Murray handed his phone to her with a serious face. "The news just ca out. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake happened in Los Angeles."
"What? Is what Nina said true?" Her heart jumped.
A big earthquake did happened in Los Angeles.
Then Tom...
According to what Nina had said, Tom was trapped under the ruins. He must be in danger.
lissa’s face tightened. She quickly packed up and walked toward the door. "I’ll go to Nina. Murray, arrange a plane for . I want to go to Los Angeles with her."
"It’s too dangerous." Murray raised his long legs and followed her. "lissa, don’t go there. I’ll send soone over."
A 7.8-magnitude earthquake was scary. There would be a lot of aftershocks. If they rashly went over, it would indeed be very dangerous.
"No," lissa said firmly, "I have to go by myself."
She knew that if Tom was in danger, Nina would go to him.
How could lissa feel at ease about letting Nina go to such a deadly place alone?
When she was in danger, Nina risked her life to save lissa.
No matter how dangerous it was, she had to be there for her friend.
"I will go with you." Seeing that lissa was determined, Murray could only give in.
