Chapter 167 As Long as You’re with Me.


    With red eyes and an exhausted face, Charles'' knotted eyebrows rxed at the sight of Linda. Seeing


    this, Linda was moved. He must really hold her dear to his heart.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have lost sleep in his relentless search for her.


    "You didn''t sleepst night?"


    Charles nodded as he approached Linda. "Honey, let''s go home."


    "Alright." Linda nodded and walked out hand in hand with Charles.


    Robert had thought that Charles would angrily interrogate him but to his surprise, Charles didn''t even


    look at him, the master of the vi. He simply took Linda away right in front of him without a greeting.


    Although Charles didn''t ask, Robert thought it necessary to exin to avoid any misunderstanding that


    might hurt Linda and her happiness. Robert called out, "Wait a minute, Charles! I can exin. Nothing


    happened between Linda and Ist night."


    Charles stopped to turn around and looked at him with an unreadable expression.


    "You don''t have to exin. And I don''t want to hear it."


    With that, he left the house with Linda.


    As they drove home, Charles Mu remained silent, leaning on Linda''s shoulder to rest with his eyes

    closed. He had stayed up all night.


    Showing a great deal of affection towards him, Linda said in a soft voice, "I''m sorry. It''s all my fault, I


    was too careless. If I had been more careful, I wouldn''t have been abducted and you wouldn''t have


    ended up staying up all night. Look at you! You''re exhausted."


    "I''m d that you''re alright." Charles didn''t fall asleep. He leaned on Linda, who smelled so familiar and


    reassuring. Although he felt tired, he couldn''t rest yet. He had loads of work to deal with in thepany


    today.


    "I''m confused about one thing. Why did Robert abduct me?"


    "Robert isn''t the one to me."


    "Who else? Did he have nothing else to do? Why tie me up on his bed?"


    "I think it might be Robert''s brother, Adam Huo."


    "Adam Huo? The name sounds familiar."


    "I assume May Shen''s old lover was Adam Huo. I haven''t looked into it because Huo Zi and I were on


    good terms. But we drifted away in the end. I felt sorry for him, so I let my guard down with him in


    recent years. It had never urred to me that he would one day strike out against you."


    Charles knew through special connections that Robert has a lot of dirty business under the table.


    Underneath the nerdy and reserved Master Adam persona


    Who seemed indifferent to the worldly business, He had been involved in dirty work like drug-dealing,


    business fraud, and wildlife smuggling. In every illegal deal that provided high profits, Adam Huo was a


    part of it.


    In these years, Adam got up on many secret tricks on the Huo Group.


    Considering the childhood incident, Charles was unwilling to reveal him and turned a blind eye to his


    deeds despite having the evidence.


    Suddenly, Charles sat upright and held Linda''s hand. "Linda, I promise there won''t be a next time. I will


    not let you get in danger anymore."


    Her hand hurt within his crushing grip, but a warm feeling came upon her.


    She could feel the trembling of his hands and theplete sincerity in his eyes.


    From his look, Linda was well aware that Charles was afraid of losing her.


    She held Charles'' hand and embraced him in her arms. She buried her head to his chest and said, "I


    know. I know that you care about me, but you need to rest. Your eyes have turned red."


    "I couldn''t sleep until I''ve found you."


    "Yes, "


    If he had worked and slept as he usually did before locating her, she would be heartbroken now.


    Back home, Linda took a shower. Charles didn''t ask what happened the night before because


    Hepletely trusted her.


    Whatever the truth was, he didn''t care.


    But Linda couldn''t resist eximing, "You imp! I slept over therest night. You won''t even ask me what


    happened?"


    Ducking his head, Charles replied, "Nothing''s more important than your safety. Nothing matters as long


    as you''re with me."


    After half an hour, Charlesplied with Linda''s demand and took a nap at home instead of going to


    thepany to work. Lack of sleep was detrimental to one''s health. She couldn''t let him go on like this.


    But Charles only slept for a while. He got up at 2pm and went to deal with business with Paul. He had


    to take charge of the major projects that the Mu Group recently took over.


    After asking the nanny, Linda found out that Bun was brought home by Brianst night. Brian had


    intended to stay until her fever went down, but he was unexpectedly called away by someone sent by


    Lord Ho. Brian didn''t stand up against him, And obeyed the order. He didn''t want his father getting back


    at Bun.


    Life was back on track. It was odd, but Linda decided to let it go since Charles agreed to see to it and


    to get rid of every danger.


    She chose to have a normal life. She went to work with Bun every day, And spent time with the


    students.


    A month passed by quickly.
