Chapter 366: Then Give Yourself to Me

There were so many cars on the road and it was burning hot.

In the car, Hilla held the phone tightly and called Halle several times, but Halle just hung up.

She wanted to persuade Halle not to take the risk of going to Toulon, but she did not know how to persuade her.

It was like what Halle had said. If Bruce went to Toulon today, Hilla would also go find him.

Even if she would be in danger and could not find him, she did not want to stay here and wait.

The car headed to Far City. Margaret was waiting at the door. Seeing Hilla’s car, she ran over happily.

“You’re finally here. I miss you so much.”

Margaret threw herself into Hilla’s arms and held her tightly. She sounded grieved.

She had a lot of things to tell Hilla.

She did not like to stay here and did not like Julian. She wanted to return to River City and her family.

Hilla pushed Margaret away, but her expression was very serious. “I’m sorry, Margaret. I’m afraid I can’t stay here to attend your wedding.”

Margaret’s wedding in Far City was held only for the sake of the Jorgansen family.

The Jorgansens wanted to attract others’ attention at the wedding.

After all, no Jorgansens attend the wedding in River City last time.

When Margaret heard this, she was very upset.

She glanced at the car and whispered, “What happened? Where is Halle? Why isn’t she with you?”

Didn’t they say that they would stay with her for the whole wedding? They couldn’t let her be laughed at by others, who would say she had no family.

Halle also promised to bring her a new phoenix coronet and wedding dress. Now, Halle didn’t come and Hilla wanted to leave after she arrived.

“Did anything happen?”

Hilla curled her lips slightly and comforted Margaret, “Something happened to Horton’s meeting in Toulon. Halle is worried about him and she has gone to Toulon, but she is pregnant now. I am worried about her.”

Hilla was in a dilemma. She knew that she should be by Margaret’s side at this time, but she couldn’t let Halle go alone.

She was pregnant and was about to give birth to the baby. If Horton could not come back…

She didn’t dare to imagine what Halle would be.

“Halle is pregnant?”

As expected, Margaret caught the key point. She was surprised and happy. Then, she pushed Hilla into the car and urged, “Then hurry up and find her. I’m fine. It’s not my first wedding. I know what to do.”

Hilla took out the box containing the phoenix coronet and wedding robes. The whole set of gold jewelry inside was prepared by Orlenna.

It was very heavy. Hilla handed it to the servants and said to Margaret, “Sorry, I can’t stay with you this time. But Riya called me on the way. She will come soon and won’t let you be alone.”

Margaret said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. Even if I stay here alone, I won’t disgrace the Jorgansen family. If they dare to bully me, I will fight back.

“I have practiced what you have taught me. They can’t beat me.”

Hilla was amused by her.

The Jorgansen family had been focusing on martial arts. Ever since Bruce’s great grandfather, they had attached great importance to keeping fit.

Every Jorgansen knew martial arts. Thus, Margaret could not be compared to them at all.

But, since she was “Margaret”, no one would dare to bully her.

“Take good care of yourself. Don’t let yourself be wronged. If there’s anything, just tell Julian. He definitely won’t let anyone bully you.”

“Alright, alright. Stop. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to catch the plane if you stay here any longer.”

In the entire Jorgansen family, the only one who bullied her was Julian. She was not a fool and would never complain to him.

Halle took the plane from River City. She must have left by now. Hilla could only take the plane from Far City to Toulon.

“Please take good care of Halle and the baby in her belly.”

Margaret stretched out her hand and waved at Hilla’s car.

Looking at the figure behind the car window, Hilla felt disappointed and her eyes turned moist.

It was not until Hilla’s car disappeared that Margaret put her hand down and sighed.

A hint of disappointment flashed across her face.

She had been looking forward to their reunion, but in the end, she was the only one

left.

“Forget it, Margaret. This is not the first time you have been married. Don’t be like this. Relax.”

Margaret curled her lips and tried to smile. Soon, the smile disappeared.

She still felt very sad.

When Julian returned, Evan stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Jorgansen stays in the room for the whole day. She doesn’t seem very happy.”

“Didn’t the Andersons come?”

Julian frowned. The Andersons said that they would be coming over today. He knew that Margaret had been looking forward to it since yesterday.

She should be very happy today.

Evan replied, “Yes, Mrs. Anderson came and left in a hurry, leaving these boxes.”

Julian glanced at the gorgeous boxes on the table.

Julian knew what was inside without guessing.

Margaret had begged Halle for a long time for the phoenix coronet and wedding dress, but she did not even look at it. It could be told how unhappy she was now.

“Have she eaten anything?”

Julian turned around and walked to the room upstairs. Evan stepped forward and said “At noon, Mrs. Jorgansen only ate a few strawberries. She said that she didn’t want to eat anything. She kept herself in her room and didn’t let anyone disturb her.”

Evan was nervous. Julian had just hired some new servants. Would he need a replacement again?

They were very busy with the wedding these days and they didn’t have enough manpower. So the new servants didn’t have much time to adapt themselves to the work.

“Tell the cook to make something she likes to eat and bring it up.”

Julian stopped on the stairs and turned to look at the exquisite boxes on the table. He said, “Bring those up as well.”

Evan responded and watched Julian go upstairs before slowly heaving a sigh of relief.

The wedding would be held the day after tomorrow. The Jorgansen family attached great importance to the wedding and invited all the media in Far City. Everyone hoped that the wedding would be smooth.

In the room.

Margaret nestled in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside.

A rose garden was downstairs, and it was similar to that of the Anderson family.

At this time, the flowers were blooming. The fiery red petals were exuberant as if they knew that the wedding was coming.

Margaret liked new-style weddings, so the wedding in River City was all arranged according to her preferences.

However, the Jorgansen family was traditional, and they had inherited a lot of customs from their ancestors. There were many rules in their family.

When Julian returned, Margaret was barefoot, wearing a thin nightgown. She leaned against the window with her hands supporting her chin.

The bright sunlight outside the window shone on her, covering her with a layer of golden light.

The woman sitting in the sunlight was like an angel.

If she didn’t speak, she would still make others believe that she was indeed an angel.

…

“Evan said that you haven’t eaten anything for the whole day.”

Julian went into the room, took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, and removed his tie.

Margaret did not move, like a sculpture. Julian’s return didn’t attract her attention.

Without looking up, she said in a low voice, “I ate a few strawberries. They are very sweet.”

In fact, they were overly sweet.

As Margaret spoke, she maintained this posture. It looked as if the outside scenery had attracted all her attention.

Julian watched her being so quiet and frowned. He felt a little weird.

“Are you trying to lose weight in order to wear the wedding dress? It turns out that you’re afraid that people will laugh at you.”

As soon as he said this, Margaret, who was quiet, immediately turned around and glared at Julian.

Looking at his chest under the collar, Margaret rolled her eyes at him.

“I’m not fat.”

Julian was the one who was fat. She had a very good figure.

“Since you are not fat, you should have meals on time. Of course, if you want to lose weight for me, I don’t have any objections. I have married you, so I have to be responsible for you.”

Julian sat down on the sofa and his slender legs crossed. His shirt was unbuttoned and he looked relaxed.

His tidy black hair also became messy.

Margaret looked at him and her little face puffed. She came down from the bay window and slapped the bedroom door closed.

She was in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk to him.

Julian rubbed his forehead and whispered, “Margaret, you have to pay for the broken door.”

“I have compensated you with the money. What else do you want?”

Margaret’s arrogant voice came from inside, with a strong dissatisfaction and anger.

The man opened his eyes which were deep and bright. He suddenly stood up from the sofa and strode towards the door. His deep voice sounded clear.

“Then give yourself to me.”

When the plane landed, Hilla called Halle.

It took a long time for the call to be connected, and Hilla said anxiously, “Halle, where are you?”

Halle’s voice was vague, and it was obvious that she was at the source of the earthquake.

Right now, all the news was about the earthquake in Toulon. The sixth-level earthquake resulted in many casualties, which was still increasing.

Hilla was anxious. Halle was pregnant. Emily was still waiting for her at home. Halle’s voice quickly came over with a hint of joy, “Hilla, I have found him.”

Hilla heaved a heavy sigh of relief. She was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

It was good that she found him and they were safe.

“Where are you? I’ll be there immediately.”

“Hilla, don’t come here. There are still aftershocks here. It’s too dangerous…”

Halle’s words were suddenly cut off. Hilla was left alone in this city. She felt anxious.

Halle sat in the narrow tent. The clothes and hair were a little messy. She held the phone tightly, which was the only tool she could use to contact the outside world.

Looking at Horton in front of her, his white coat stained with blood, Halle felt distressed and hugged him.

She hugged the man tightly and finally felt relieved.

“I thought something happened to you. I thought I would never see you again. Horton, I’m so scared!”

She was afraid that she could not see him and there would be only the child and her in this world.

Horton supported Halle and comforted her. The outside was still noisy and in chaos while inside the room, it was quiet. Horton did not expect Halle to come here.

He was moved and distressed.

“Can you stay here alone, Halle?”

Horton stuffed a first aid kit into Halle’s arms. There was also a backpack beside him, where there were some food and water.

“Where are you going?”

Halle tightly grabbed Horton’s clothes and looked at him with a terrified look.

She thought that she would be able to bring him back if she found him.

Horton looked at Halle’s uneasy expression and said, “There are too many injured

people here. I’m a doctor, and they need me.”

Halle wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything. She finally let go.

She couldn’t say anything she knew that the only thing she could help him now was to stay quietly behind him.

“Be careful. You must be safe.”

Halle stared at him with expectation and reluctance.

Horton felt a little sorry for Halle. He stopped walking and turned around to hug Halle in his arms.

Horton’s embrace was very warm. Halle said in a low voice, “I will wait for you here.” The man kissed her, and the kiss was full of affection.

Halle kissed Horton and pushed him away. She smiled. “Don’t worry. I will not run around.”

Aftershocks took place very often. Halle was staying in a rescue station. There were injured people everywhere. She couldn’t speak the local language, so it was not easy for her to find him.

Horton took a deep look at her, and the moment he turned to leave, Halle had an impulse to follow him.

However, in the end, she just moved a little. She watched him get into an ambulance and disappear.

When Hilla arrived, Halle was resting in a small tent, holding the package given to her by Horton and staring in one direction.

“Halle, how are you? Are you hurt?”

Hilla smoothed Halle’s hair. When she saw Halle’s pair of moist eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she was shocked.

“Where is Horton? Didn’t you find him?”

Halle turned around in a daze. She came back to her senses after a long while.

She whispered, “Hilla, you are here.”

It was extremely hot in summer, not to mention that there was no air conditioner here. It was too hot in the tent for people to stay.

Looking at the scattered wounded and the rescuers, Hilla anxiously looked for Horton.

“He went to rescue the wounded. I am waiting for him here.”

Halle’s voice slowly came to Hilla’s ears. Hilla’s heart tautened, and she said “Halle, let’s go back to the hotel first. You are still pregnant. There will be aftershocks here at any time. Horton will be worried if he knows.”

Hilla tried to persuade Halle to leave with her.

It was not that she was not worried about Horton, but at this time, Halle herself needed taking care of.

She hadn’t eaten anything for the whole day, and her body was covered in mud and blood. Fortunately, after careful observation, Hilla found that Halle was not injured.

“I promised Horton to wait for him here. If I leave, he will be worried when he comes back. Hilla, I will wait for a while longer. He will come back soon.”

Just as Halle finished speaking, she saw a familiar ambulance come over.

A big smile appeared on Halle’s face as she ran to it.
