Chapter 99: Followed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The night was dark and windy, and the spacious streets were empty. Occasionally, one or two cars would pass by. In San Francisco’s nights, very few people wandered the main roads.

Tang Yu walked quickly. From the moment she stepped out of the subway station, she had been hearing strange footsteps from behind.

Generally speaking, very few people would get off at this station at this time. After hearing the strange noise, she hid behind a wall and pretended to play with her phone to see who was behind her. However, no one was in sight even after a few minutes.

Tang Yu was still 30 minutes away from her house. She took out her phone to call her husband. Then, she realized. She didn’t have Miles’ number anymore!

She immediately called another number. “Carlisle, are you at home? Can you pick me up at Fifth Avenue?”

“Okay.” Carlisle’s deep voice came from the other end of the line.

She observed her surroundings, trying to make sure no one was there before running ahead.

She originally wanted Miles to not be able to contact her and make him miss her. She did not expect to play herself in the end.

Not far away, Song Yi ran a few steps with his brother and asked in a low voice, “Brother, why aren’t you going over to accompany her? She looks very scared.”

“Let’s wait a little longer.” Song Huating appeared composed, but his entire body was tensed up. “I want to see who it is.”

“If there’s any danger…”

Song Huating interrupted him. “They’re approaching.”

Song Yi really admired his brother’s patience.

Tang Yu did not dare to turn her head. She could only jog, not running too fast as she was worried about the baby in her stomach. Her hair was soaked in sweat, and she would look back from time to time.

The stalkers did seem weak at all. They were all experts. In her current state, she could not beat anyone, let alone an expert.

The night became heavier. The rolling clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight, and the surroundings were silent. She accidentally stepped on a branch while running, and the sound was enough to scare her into cold sweat. She was that frightened.

She heard footsteps. Several footsteps. They were coming from all directions, gradually getting faster and closer.

She started running again, but the footsteps got faster as well, as if they were trying to match her pace.

She ran as fast as she could, but the world seemed to be going backwards. She felt like she wasn’t moving forward at all.

The thick night was like a deep pool of water, drowning and pressing her to the bottom.

She was panting, starting to run out of breath. She took a rest, grabbing onto a streetlight.

Just as she was about to sink into the abyss, a figure in a black windbreaker appeared at the intersection.

His slender and powerful long legs alternated back and forth. He was like a bolt of lightning, crossing the street and rushing toward her.

“Carlisle!” Tang Yu sped up and ran towards him, pouncing into his arms.

Carlisle stretched out his hands to support her waist. He carried her and spun her around, reducing the strong momentum.

“Carlisle…”

“Don’t be afraid.”

“Someone is following me…”

“I saw them.” His low voice was filled with anger.

“You saw them? I didn’t see anyone.” Tang Yu looked back curiously. With Carlisle by her side, she suddenly relaxed. She was not afraid of anything.

“Should I chase them?”

Tang Yu shook her head. “No, don’t leave me behind.”

“Okay.” Carlisle saw that she was covered in sweat. He put away his anger and carried her home in his arms slowly.

Song Huating followed her for a long time. Because of her supposed ‘husband’s’ appearance, the stalkers scattered like birds.

“Damn it.”

Song Yi was a little excited. He teased, “It’s the first time I’ve seen her husband. He’s very similar to you.”

“Shut up.” Song Huating’s brows were tightly knitted as his fingers quickly swiped across the screen of his phone. Soon, his gaze stopped on the newly opened page. “Carlisle…”

Song Yi curiously went over to take a look. On the page was Carlisle’s personal information. In the photo on the upper left corner, he was slightly pale and his gaze was spirited.

“Internationally wanted criminal…”

Carlisle gently placed Tang Yu on the sofa. She laid down, exhausted from all of the running.

She had used up too much of her energy. If it was just running, she would not have been too tired. Even after she became pregnant, she still could exercise. Yoga and running was not a big problem at all.

It was just that the fear of being watched by a stalker had consumed even more of her energy.

Carlisle poured her hot water as he brought her a towel and snacks.

“Thank you.”

He did not ask anything, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. He only sat quietly at the side to accompany her.

Tang Yu calmed down and nudged the motionless man. “Thank you so much… Your expression was serious, unlike your usual self.”

A wicked smile appeared on Carlisle’s fair face. “What do you want to hear from me?”

“Do you know who was following me?”

“I know.”

Tang Yu had been waiting for him to continue, but he did not say anything.

“Who was it?”

“It’s best if you don’t know.”

“Tell me, I want to know.” Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Carlisle’s smile deepened. His slender fingers touched her cold lips. “Then give me a kiss.”

“You…” Tang Yu threw the pillow in her arms onto him. “Your true form is revealed!”

He stretched out his slender hand as he caressed her head. In a deep and magnetic voice, he said, “Go to sleep.”

“I won’t be able to sleep for the whole night if I don’t know what happened.” Tang Yu blinked, her eyes sparkling with a bright light. ” Wait, I have a feeling I know who it was…”
