Chapter 823 – Falling into a Trap
Vultuulf’s entire body went bad when he heard Vincent’s rhetorical question.
“You and I are a couple aren’t we?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Then shouldn’t we do something a couple should do?” That’s a pretty direct hint, isn’t it?This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Didn’t we sleep together? Why would I allow you to lie in the same bed with me if we weren’t a couple?”
“…” Ahhhhhh! What’s wrong with this man?
Vultuulf was instantly cranky.
“What’s wrong with you?” Vincent looked puzzled.
“Nothing, sleep!” She lay down again then rolled over and turned her back to Vincent.
But she couldn’t sleep at all in this state, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
One moment she wondered if she wasn’t attracted to him and he didn’t even have an idea.
One day, she wondered if Vincent wasn’t very good at what he did, or else he wouldn’t have any ideas.
They had been in a relationship for quite some time, and the most intimate things they did were hugging and kissing, nothing further.
It was almost as if it was Elmwood!
“Vultuulf, get up and tell me what you’re mad about?” Vincent asked somewhat seriously as he turned on the light.
Vultuulf dreaded it when he spoke to her in such a tone, and every time he did, she felt a little intimidated.
She gets up to face him and glares at him questioningly, “A lone man and woman in a room together and we’re a couple, don’t you think we should do something about it?”
Vincent finally got the message.
“Of course we can’t do it!” He righteously refused.
This made Vultuulf instantly suffer a great blow, and his whole body was not good.
“Why are you crying?” Vincent noticed that something was wrong with her and realized that she was actually crying, “Don’t cry, I mean, we can’t do it now, we have to get married, and it would be irresponsible of me to take you now!”
Vultuulf blinked, “So it’s not like you can’t?”
Vincent froze, “What? How could I not be able to? How could you even think that! You’re too much!”
It was Vincent’s turn to get angry.
“No, no, I just think it’s strange because I was worried that it was because I’m not attractive, but seeing that you’re so worried about me, I thought that it shouldn’t be my problem …” the more she said the weaker her voice became.
“Vincent, don’t be mad, we’re all in love for the first time, it’s inevitable that we’ll be imagining things.”
“Wait a minute, your logic is wrong, shouldn’t first love be more innocent?”
Vultuulf didn’t realize that Vincent, who usually seemed dumb in this aspect, had actually caught her loophole accurately now.
“Alright, I won’t be sophomoric, I admit my mistake, I’m sorry!”
Vincent didn’t have the heart to say, “I’m a doctor, how could I let myself not be able to?”
“Right, right, right, it’s me who has no brain!”
But there was no gap between the two after they made it clear, and they were relieved.
“So when are we getting married?” Vultuulf asked.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, and it takes quite a long time to prepare for a wedding, so I was thinking it’s okay to wait a bit longer?”
“Actually, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome, my wedding, just keep it simple.”
“How can I do that, this is the only wedding in our lives, of course it has to be grand, when I’m done with this period of time I still have to propose to you.”
Hearing this, Vultuulf suddenly heart sweet and happy, turned around and hugged Vincent softly responded, “Good, listen to you.”
This time Vultuulf peacefully sleep.
The next morning up to Vincent to do breakfast.
Vincent didn’t see Vultuulf when he got up, but smelled the aroma.
“Why are you up so early?”
“Knowing that you have to get up early, I have to let you eat enough, you will definitely be busy today, you will not have time to eat then, have a full breakfast.”
“Isn’t this too thoughtful of you …?” Single and accustomed to Vincent now enjoys the girlfriend such a thoughtful care very touched.
“Don’t want me to be so thoughtful?”
“No! But then it’s good to get up early like this once in a while and make it for me, otherwise you’re working too hard.”
“Hmm, got it.”
Vultuulf and Vincent stay together the most comfortable thing is that he will rarely ask her to do anything, basically it is her initiative to do what she is willing to do, he also never want to go to ask her to become a good wife and mother.
After breakfast, Vincent went over to the Pascall family.
Nydia and Jesse were already up when he arrived.
Knowing that he must have something to say when he came over, they went to the study together.
“We found a lot of good stuff at the experimental base yesterday, it’s obvious that Alex has mastered very advanced technology.”
“Still going over there today?”
“Well, it’s not packed up yet, it’ll take about two days, everyone’s excited about it, it’s a valuable resource for us.”
“I have some copies here that they didn’t have time to take away and destroy, I’ll leave them for you to look at.” Vincent brought them over knowing they were important to Jesse.
“Thanks.”
Jesse took the documents and then admonished him, “You have to be careful yourself, Alex is a man who would never let anyone take his stuff for nothing, and I’m worried that there might be a trap or something at the experimental base.”
“Well, we’ll be careful, I’ll leave you then, I’ll let you know if I find anything.”
“Good.”
After Vincent left, Nydia asked when she saw his brow furrowed, “You worried?”
“From what I know of Alex, it won’t be that easy.”
“But didn’t they leave in a hurry this time? There might not have been time to prepare something.”
“The traps should have been designed in when this experimental base was built, they weren’t improvised, so I hope I’m overthinking it.”
“I think Vincent and the others would have taken care of it, they are all professionals after all.”
Jesse nodded, he’d instructed, Vincent was a careful man, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
“Where do you think Alex will be moved to?”
“In his condition he shouldn’t get far, he’s cunning and probably still in the country, it’s just going to be hard to find him again, but he’s not going to show up anytime soon, we’ve got time to prepare.”
Nydia stroked her stomach, there were still more than three months before the baby would be born, it would be good to fight for those three months or so, by then even if something happened to her and Jesse, at least the four children would be fine.
…
Experimental base.
Vincent and his colleagues were working on a piece of equipment in a lab that was so big that it was not good for transferring and needed to be disassembled and transferred.
“Alex is leaving us a treasure here.” For the people at the institute, these things can be more precious than real money.
“He has traveled to many countries before and learned a lot of advanced technologies, integrating them together, along with having a lot of capable people under his hand, he created this experimental base.”
Vincent said while studying the equipment.
However, just as they were removing a part, the equipment suddenly lit up.
“What, how did it start? Wasn’t the power all cut off?”
“Yeah, the power was cut off and not plugged in.”
“Then how …”
All three red lights on the device came on.
“Could it be that it has a storage light on itself? It can emergency brake?”
Just as they were analyzing the situation, Vincent thought of Jesse’s words and immediately said, “Let’s go out first, I don’t think it’s simple.”
But they were too late!
Just as they were about to go out, the layout of the lab suddenly changed, enveloping the few of them in a large glass enclosure instantly.
