Chapter 384: She Is Expressionless

The heavy rain hit River City, making it cooler in the afternoon.

Halle came out of the studio and saw the car parked at the door. She couldn’t help smiling and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Before she could walk over, a man walked out of the car.

When saw it clearly, Halle was startled and stopped her footsteps hurriedly. It was Titus.

“Halle!”

Titus smiled as he walked towards her.

Halle glanced at the car again. It was the same as Horton’s.

Just now, she had not noticed its number plates.

Halle’s joy had gone.

She just greeted him politely, “What a coincidence.”

“It’s not a coincidence. Halle, I waited for you here on purpose.”

Titus had a big smile on his face, which made Halle feel uncomfortable.

She frowned with a trace of rejection and forced a smile, “Wait for me? Is there something with you?”

Titus ignored Halle’s indifference and still smiled.

He walked forward and was about to pull Halle’s hand.

Halle quickly dodged. She straightened her back and said, “I’m busy with something.”

Then she turned around and wanted to return to the studio, but Titus blocked her.

Titus felt regretful and helpless. Halle was once his wife, but now she regarded him as a stranger.

He had been rash back then. He had made another woman pregnant.

Unexpectedly, he was willing to raise the child, but that woman stole his property and fled.

His family was broken up and he owned nothing. On the contrary, after Halle remarried, she had her own child and a happy family. Even the business of her studio became more and more prosperous.

He complained that women had an innate advantage over men. Even if women were divorced, they could also be with men with better conditions. However, as a man, he could only be selected by women with disdain.

It was just because he wasn’t rich. Those women looked down upon him.

He had disdained Halle before, but now she was married to a young, talented, and wealthy man.

He had inquired about Horton. Although Horton was only an illegitimate child of the Hutt family, he was well taken care of and cultivated.

He became the director of the hospital at such a young age, which was enough to show his family power.

But now he was only an ordinary driver. The more he thought about it, the more jealous he felt.

If he didn’t divorce back then, Halle would still be with him. She had to rely on the Tyson family and everything she had now would belong to the Tyson family.

Halle could live such happy days. It was all because of him. But she had never thanked him. Instead, every time she saw him, she became more and more indifferent.

As if she was mocking his incompetence.

“Halle, don’t worry. I don’t have any other intentions. I just want to cooperate with you.”

“I originally would like to talk about it inside, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient and others may misunderstand you.”

Titus put on a friendly smile, and his eyes were full of a sincere apology.

He let go of Halle’s hand and said in a low voice, “I know that you are married now, and I should not pester you. But this time, I am in a difficult position. My boss’ daughter likes the clothes designed by your studio. He heard that I know you so he asked me to let you make one for her daughter.”

Titus saw the calmness on Halle’s face and slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that she wouldn’t believe him and leave. He pleaded, “As you know, your studio is getting bigger and bigger. It is difficult for ordinary people to get orders. I only work in a small company that is not ranked in River City.

“Moreover, she is in a hurry. I can only beg you.

“But don’t worry about the salary.”

Halle looked at Titus calmly. She had long regarded him as an ordinary passer-by.

Even if she didn’t know him, she shouldn’t refuse the business.

“Sorry, the studio has had many orders recently. We can’t accept other orders in the short term.”

“Halle, I know that I have made things difficult for you. I also know that we have divorced. If I continue to pester you like this, you will hate me.”

He lowered his head.

His voice was filled with sorrow and he looked pitiful.

“This is the last time. Could you please help me?”

There was only resistance in Halle’s heart. She had repeatedly made a clean break with him.

In the end, it was not as good as she wished.

“Halle, please help me. I promise it will be the last time. My job is very important to me. The boss even wants to give me a raise. I have a broken family. I only hope that you can give me a way out.”

“If I help you this time, what if there is such a thing next time? You will think that I was the one who blocked your way of life. Or rather, I was the one who caused you to become like this.”

Halle’s eyes were sharp and no longer as gentle as before.

And it could even be said that she was aggressive.

Halle was disgusted by such a threat and felt that it was ridiculous.

They had been divorced for several years. She didn’t have the obligation to help him.

They were already strangers and there was no need to add any more grudges.

However, her soft-heartedness was not a reason for him to threaten her at will.

“Don’t worry, this is the last time. My boss’s daughter is going to get married soon. I just trouble you to make her a dress for the wedding.”

Hearing Titus’s promise, Halle looked a little better.

“After this, I hope we are just strangers.”

Titus was slightly taken aback. He nodded, “I understand.”

Walking forward, Titus opened the car door, “She lives in a villa on the outskirts of the city. It’s a little far away. I’ll take you there.”

Halle looked at the car and pursed her lips.

She said coldly, “I have my own car. Lead the way.”

She went straight to her car. They were strangers, and it was better to keep the distance.

Halle turned back without hesitation. Titus became a little gloomy.

He paused for a moment and then got into the car.

Two cars drove to the suburbs one after another and disappeared into the bustling

capital city…

…

A small road on the outskirts.

Halle finally could not help but stop the car.

Looking at Titus, she frowned and said, “Where are you taking me?” Clearly, it was an unfamiliar place and no one lived here.

Even a simple house might not be able to be built there, not to mention a villa.

Halle was not a fool and did not intend to go further.

When Titus walked towards her, she became alert.

“Why did you bring me here on purpose?”

Halle subconsciously took a step back. Her high heels stepped on the soil and left deep marks.

She stared at Titus.

“Halle, you are so smart. Don’t you know what I mean?”

A sinister smile appeared on Titus’s face as he approached, “I have nothing now, but what about you? You just change a man but become a person above others.

“When he knew that you are still a virgin, he must be very happy.”

His vicious eyes were filled with ferocious light.

Unwillingness, jealousy, and sin made his face distorted and strange.

“You are my woman. All your beauty should be mine. Halle, let’s get married again. I will treat your daughter as my own daughter.”

Titus approached and grabbed Halle’s wrist.

His face turned red because of his excitement and illusion.

Why had everything changed? He had just missed out on a woman who he had disdained and rejected before.

Halle sensed that Titus had lost control.

She raised her hand to shake off Titus’s shackles.

“Stop dreaming. We have already divorced.”

She ran towards her car. Titus discovered her intentions and quickly blocked the car door in front of her.

He grabbed Halle’s arm and said excitedly, “It doesn’t matter. We can get married again. Halle, as long as you agree, I will let you go.”

“Titus, are you threatening me?”

Halle turned furious and could not help but clench her hands.

She had thought that he would cheat her, but she had not expected him to be so shameless.

What he said was so ridiculous. It seemed that she had always been too easy to bully, which gave him an illusion.

Did he think that she would compromise just because he forced her to? “Halle, I just want to remarry you. Is it that difficult?”

He roared. Halle retreated and carefully protected her belly.

“I won’t marry you again. I’m already married.”

“What’s so good about that man? Are you that cheap? You like him to play you?” He was almost crazy. He held her arms and shook her.

Halle pursed her lips and did not speak. She could only try her best to protect her belly.

As if he felt Halle’s indifference, Titus was startled and slightly loosened his hand. He looked at her in a panic. “Did I hurt you? Are you angry?”

Halle slapped his hands away and straightened her body, “I’m not angry. Have you been enough? Can I leave now?”

“You don’t believe me. And you look down on me, didn’t you?”

Titus became excited once again.

His scarlet eyes were bloodshot, and he once again grabbed Halle’s arms.

It was obvious that he did not intend to let her leave simply.

“Did I need to say it out?”

Halle couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully shook off Titus’s restraint.

It was getting late. She could not stay here for too long, or Horton would worry.

Halle’s voice was not loud, but every word seemed to pierce into Titus’s heart.

After being stunned for a moment, he finally went crazy again.

A cold smile appeared on his twisted face.

“Bitch, you are all bitches…”

He wanted to drag Halle into the car, shouting, “You bitches just like money only…” But he was interrupted and couldn’t finish his words.

He touched the back of his head. When he saw the blood, he widened his eyes in

disbelief.

And then he fell beside the car.

Halle grabbed a stone firmly, on which there was also a trace of blood.

She frowned and whispered, “You’re so useless. Why did you learn to kidnap people?”

If you don’t have the strength, why do you insist on being a villain?

Patting the dirt off her hands, Halle took out her phone and dialed the emergency call.

In the hospital corridor, a slender girl quickly passed through the crowd.

Soon, she saw a familiar figure.

“Halle.”

Hilla rushed to Halle. Seeing that Halle was unscathed, Hilla grabbed Halle’s hand tightly, “Are you alright? Did you hurt? How is the baby in your belly?”

Hilla was very nervous. Halle looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh. She answered, “I’m fine, and I’m not injured. The baby is also here.” “Thank God, you’re fine,” Hilla heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she thought of something and asked, “Didn’t you say someone was seriously injured? You…”

Halle interrupted her and pointed at the bed next door. Titus’s head was wrapped in thick gauze. “It was him who was injured.”

Hilla looked at Titus, who could only look at them in panic, and frowned. “He … How did he…”

“I hit him.”

Halle was helpless.

She originally did not want to hit him, but he was too difficult to deal with. Explaining it to him would just waste time. So she used the simplest and crudest method to quickly get rid of him.

If not, she was afraid of hurting the child in her belly.

Hilla couldn’t believe it. She looked at Halle, and then looked at the frozen Titus on the bed. She coughed awkwardly and said, “Your safety is the first.”

Halle had always been gentle and kind and she never spoke in a heavy tone. Now, she had seriously injured someone.

Hilla secretly glanced at Horton behind Halle, and she trembled a little.

Horton was also always gentle and elegant, but now he was staring at the scissors in

the nurse’s hand, expressionless…
