Chapter 744

Chapter 744:

She had selfishly stayed by Howard’s side, blinded by her own feelings, knowing full well the dangers her presence brought. It wasn’t fair to him.

This was perhaps the most selfish thing she’d ever done.

Howard’s breathing grew heavier, and his face flushed with a touch of anger.

Sensing his anger, Milly gently pulled her hand free. “Now that you’re safe, go home and live a good life. Don’t get caught up in any of this anymore.”

With that, she turned and began to walk away.

“So, you’re abandoning me again, huh?” Howard’s voice came from behind, laced with a bitterness that stung.

Milly froze mid-step, her heart wavering. Did he really think she was abandoning him?

“I’m doing this for your own good. Being with me will only drag you into danger,” she said softly, turning around with sincerity in her eyes.

Howard pulled her into his arms. He cupped her face and kissed her fiercely.

Her lips were cold yet soft.

Though Milly’s eyes widened in shock, she didn’t push him away. She let him vent, watching him with her clear, unblinking eyes, waiting for him to finish.

Howard instantly regretted his rashness. His anger at her plan had clouded his judgment, but deep down, he knew she was acting out of love and concern.

“I’ve already destroyed the organization. Don’t tell me you will bring me trouble anymore. Even if you did, I’d send that trouble right back where it came from!” Howard’s voice was unusually firm, a sharp contrast to his usual calm.

Milly blinked in surprise. “The organization has been… destroyed?”

Howard nodded. “Yes. The international police are hot on the trail of the Serpentine Palers, so those people are too busy taking care of themselves to come after you.” As he spoke, his voice sounded very cold.

Milly couldn’t help but look at him admiringly.

Howard hadn’t changed at all. Since he was a child, he had always been admirable. In her eyes, he was still just as impressive as ever.

Many people admired Howard openly, and he was already used to their admiring glances. But for some reason, he felt secretly pleased when Milly gave him such a look.

“You can’t avoid them forever, but don’t worry too much. We can face any problem head-on. Running away is only for cowards.” Howard couldn’t help but tap her head lightly, feeling a bit frustrated.

Milly winced slightly, rubbing the spot where he’d tapped her. She looked at him, unsure of what to say.

“And since you recognized me from the beginning, why didn’t you tell me? You shouldn’t have kept me in the dark,” Howard continued.

At first, Milly was confused. But when she saw the banknote Howard took out, her expression instantly changed.

Her eyes became a little evasive.
