Chapter 733


    Chapter 733 I’m Not Happy


    Surprised, I felt astonishment rising in my heart. Why did he suddenly ask me this? After all, "Zeke"


    was himself, and he couldn''t be unaware of that. So, why that sudden question?


    I hesitated and called out, "Mr. Hastings?"


    "My name is Ezekiel Hastings."


    Suddenly, he introduced himself to me.


    "So, who is this ''Zeke'' that you mentioned?"


    His expression turned cold as he sat next to me, staring at me. I couldn''t withstand his scrutinizing


    gaze.


    I countered, "Who do you think I am, Mr. Hastings?"


    My true identity couldn''t be hidden forever.


    But how should Ie clean?


    I was afraid that he would hypnotize me and make me forget this part of my memories.


    Hearing my question, he didn''t get angry but raised his hand to rub his head. He had been doing this


    oftentely, and the bells on his wrist jingled with the movement. Ezekiel looked down at the two bells


    on his wrist, seemingly lost in his thoughts.


    At that moment, I was torn about whether to be honest.


    I tentatively asked in a gentle tone, "Mr. Hastings, is the name ''Zeke'' important to you? If I were to tell


    you..."


    Ezekiel suddenly stood up. "I''m tired. Finish your porridge and rest early. It looks like it''ll rainter.


    Make sure to cover yourself well at night."


    He cut off the conversation intentionally.


    Suddenly, I understood that he was backing away.


    Ezekiel left the room. I couldn''t help but worry about his reaction when he saw the footage of me and


    Shawn. Given his current jealous and possessive nature, he would definitely target Shawn.


    What should I do?


    Oh well, I''ll think about it tomorrow.


    I regained myposure and shifted my gaze to the bowl of white porridge that Ezekiel had prepared.


    This was his gesture of goodwill, so even if it tasted bad, I couldn''t waste it.


    Just as I was about to pick up the bowl, there was a knock on the door. Ezekiel and Andrew wouldn''t


    knock when they wereing in.


    I asked, "Who is it?"


    "It''s me, Pet."


    So, it was Robina.


    "Come in."


    Robina pushed the door open and entered, carrying a tray in her hand. She ced it in front of me and


    exined with a smile, "Mr. Hastings has never cooked before, and I could already guess how his


    cooking would turn out. That''s why I suggested making simple in porridge; it''s hard to go wrong with


    that. However, when I saw that nearly half a bag of salt was used, I knew that Mr. Hastings'' porridge


    must have been a failure. So, I brought you some food for dinner. It''s alreadyte, and in a few hours, it


    will be All Souls Day. If I cook now, it will only dy your rest time."


    The food on the tray didn''t look as fresh as before.


    "Are these leftovers?" I asked.


    "Yes, they''re fromst night."


    I didn''t have much appetite. There was a bowl of clear soup on the tray, so I added some rice to it and


    took a few mouthfuls. Then, I asked, "Robina, why are you here?"


    "I''ve been waiting here for Mr. Hastings for the past few days, and I''m not the only one. Everyone here


    is Mr. Hastings'' trusted personnel."


    I asked tentatively, "Oh, where is this ce?"


    "Sorry, we can''t say more."


    "Has Ezekiel warned you all?"


    "Mike didn''t warn us, but we understand that he doesn''t want anyone to disturb him here. Therefore,


    we cannot disclose his whereabouts. Ms. Felix, rest assured during your stay here."


    Sometimes she referred to him as Mike, and sometimes as Mr. Hastings.


    I asked Robina, "How long do we have to stay here?"


    "Ms. Felix, we can''t guess Mike''s thoughts."


    I didn''t ask Robina any further. Recalling Ezekiel''s words, I asked softly, "Will it rainter?"


    "I just checked the weather forecast, and it said there will be rain. But I''m not sure if it will really rain.


    There are some clean clothes for you here."


    Indeed, there were clothes by the bed.


    There was a whitece dress.


    "Thank you, I want to rest now."


    "Ms. Felix, if you need anything, just let me know."


    Robina left, and I was left alone in the spacious room. Iy on the bed, thinking about Shawn. The


    moment he kissed me, my heart melted, and all my worries and fears dissipated, yet I still felt sad for


    him.


    My sadness stemmed from his injuries.


    Because I loved him, I didn''t want to see him hurt, not even the slightest pain. I wished for his safety


    and well-being.


    I ced my finger on my lips and couldn''t fall asleep for a long time. Less than half an hourter, heavy


    rain poured outside, and amidst the sound of rain, there were also wailing cries. Yes, cries could be


    hearding from downstairs through the window.


    At first, I wasn''t sure, but the cries grew more frequent. I put on the white dress and pushed the window


    open, barefooted. Apart from the pouring rain, I couldn''t see anything unusual. However, the cries


    continued to intensify, sounding like cries of pain, like the desperate cries of someone deeply wounded.


    I closed the window and hesitated for a moment before stepping out. The vi was eerily empty, but as


    I descended the stairs to the entrance, I spotted Ezekiel standing not far from the door. He was d in


    a pristine white shirt and holding a bright red umbre. The rainwater cascaded from the eaves,


    sshing onto his umbre and trickling down along its patterns.


    I recalled the first time I met him in Bryxton.


    He was also holding an umbre like this.


    But back then, countless cries surrounded him.


    I called out softly, "Mr. Hastings."


    Ezekiel turned around, and his gaze was fiery. I walked barefoot to his side. Only then did I see that


    over a dozen people were fighting in the yard. Andrew was tossed in the middle of the yard like trash,


    covered in wounds. He was lying on the ground in the pouring rain, barely conscious. Among the


    people fighting, there was also Robina, who had already been injured.


    When Andrew saw meing out, he shook his head at me.


    Was Ezekiel punishing them?


    Punishing Andrew could be justified.


    But what did Robina do wrong?


    The cries in the yard continued, and I stood by Ezekiel''s side, not daring to speak. At that moment, I


    saw Robina being cut on the arm with a small knife. I couldn''t help but call out, "Mr. Hastings."


    Ezekiel finally spoke, "What is it?"


    I asked, "What did they do wrong?"


    "They did nothing wrong."


    "Then why are you punishing them, Mr. Hastings?"


    "I''m not happy."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    He was making everyone suffer because he wasn''t happy.


    Robina gritted her teeth and continued to fight. If she didn''t fight back, she would be the weak one


    and be further harmed by others. However, her fighting skills were not outstanding, and she was soon


    knocked down and thrown to the center of the yard, drenched in the rain, just like Andrew. The sight of


    them in that state made my heart break.


    I asked directly, "Why aren''t you happy, Mr. Hastings?"


    He turned his body toward me, his gaze full of turmoil and struggle. I stared into his eyes and finally


    gathered the courage to say, "Mr. Hastings, even though it''s inappropriate for me to say this, your


    actions are wrong. You can''t torture people based on your mood."


    Ezekiel raised his leg, and in the next moment, I was kicked into the courtyard. I knew clearly that my


    words had angered him, but his actions were wrong, absolutely wrong!


    I looked up at him and asked, "Are you angry, Mr. Hastings?"
