Chapter 340 There Is Danger
While Larry sent the children and Cody to church, Matthew drove Elizabeth and himself to Snowy
Barber in a Volvo.
Few cars upied the city’s roads that day.
The journey felt shorter than usual as Elizabeth observed the vacant city.
She turned her head to the man behind the wheel, who was dressed in a tailored ck suit that day,
looking cool and
intimidating.
With his lean muscr legs and toned waist, every move he made looked as if it was a pose plucked
out of a men’s fashion
magazine.
at?”
A dazed smile spread across Elizabeth’s lips as she stared at him.
With one hand on the steering wheel, Matthew reached over and interlocked her fingers with his. “What
are you looking
“You’re handsome!” Elizabeth replied without taking her eyes off him.
What a gorgeous, outstanding man. I like him so much!
Matthew smirked and looked at Elizabeth with a pleased expression.
If she enjoys looking at me that much, so be it! I like being the only person she looks at, anyway.
For the entire journey, they remained that way: him, holding her hand; her, staring at him with a smile.
It was only interrupted when Matthew turned to capture her lips in a kiss as the car came to a stop.
After a split second, Elizabeth reciprocated his actions, letting him kiss her however he desired.
After a while, she gently broke off the kiss. “That’s enough; the neighbors here know me.”
She was prone to shyness.
Matthew’s slender fingers brushed across her delicate features as his gazended on the mark on her
face. Too lost in
their passion this morning, he had forgotten about the mark.
The mark was also covered by her hair earlier.
As he was reminded of them, Matthew’s gaze hardened. “Who did this?”
His voice was cold with aggression, which startled Elizabeth.

She bit her lips and gave him a vague answer before getting out of the car. “It was my father. I was
never a favorite of his,
so it’s nothing I haven’t been through.”
Chapter 340 There Is Danger
Matthew’s heart throbbed with pain as he watched her walk into the yard.
What was her life like before this? I should’ve met her sooner. If we had gotten to know each other
sooner, could I have protected her and saved her from suffering all this abuse?
His eyes shed icily at the thought.
Her family is still a mystery to me. I’ll have to bring this up with her and meet them. How could her
father dislike a daughter as sweet and as beautiful as she is, and eveny his hands on her? I need to
meet this man myself!
Matthew left the car. No one answered after Elizabeth rang the doorbell several times, so she got her
keys out to unlock the door.
The door could only be unlocked with a key since the password lock had already been changed.
After seeing her push the door open, Matthew quickened his pace to catch up to her.
Bang!
A gunshot was heard, followed by Elizabeth’s groans of pain.
Elizabeth cried out, “Don’te in, Matthew! Don’t!”
Matthew rushed inside and bent over to check the wound on her leg, his brows knitted together in
worry.
Elizabeth was scared out of her wits. “Matthew, there was a man in a mask…”
Matthew quickly bandaged the wound with his tie that he tugged off. The sound of another bullet
zipping through the air was heard. He reacted swiftly, rolling across the floor with Elizabeth in his arms.
Elizabeth screamed in fear.
She had never experienced anything like this, which shocked her to her core.
Matthew turned to look around. He had spectacr eyesight and hearing from the experience of being
at a training
camp.
He tried looking for the hitman, but thetter was extremely skilled and had already gone out of sight.
Matthew’s lips pressed together into a thin line. They were both in extreme danger as the hitman’s gun
could be aimed at either of their heads at that moment.
His mind went to Elizabeth. The hitman was here for her.
Shielding her, Matthew retreated further into the house.
