Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 668

The call was cut off, and Lindsey slowly pulled the car to the side of the road. Behind her, Arthur's car and Shaun's car stopped and followed suit as they guessed what was going on.

When the three cars came to a stop, Lindsey pushed the door open and got out. She did not even notice that they had followed her all the way.

"You guys should just stay here." Lindsey's hair was blowing around in the night breeze, so she casually tied it up into a ponytail. Arthur did not say anything and Shaun's face was clearly disapproving.

"Brother, I can only go alone..." Lindsey looked to Shaun. "I know that you both mean well, but..."

‘Don't make it difficult for me…’

They both had different reasons for following Lindsey, yet they understood her feelings. However, they still could not bear to watch Lindsey take this risk alone.

"You guys will be of more help to me if you don’t go." Lindsey looked at them with pleading eyes.

The two men avoided looking at each other. Arthur was even more furious. "This is all the happiness that man can bring you, so why are you still risking your life for him?" At some point, Arthur could not help but start to curse in his native language.

Lindsey could not say a word. In the end, she gave both men a deep look, then turned around, and walked towards her car without looking back.

Behind her, Arthur and Shaun watched as she walked away and did not stop her.

Watching Lindsey's car leave and gradually disappear, Shaun pulled out a box of cigarettes from nowhere and looked at Arthur. "Want one?"

Arthur wanted to shake his head, but in the end, he still took one. Shaun lit up his cigarette and took a puff, but he spat it out right after. "I haven't smoked in a long time, so I'm still not used to it."

Arthur did not speak, nor did he light up his cigarette. He just held it and looked deep in thought.

"Why didn't you stop her?" Just when Shaun thought that Arthur would not speak, Arthur suddenly asked him.

Shaun squinted his eyes and looked at the man’s face that was unclear through the smoke. After a long time, he let out a low laugh. "Why didn’t you?"

After he said that, he did not wait for Arthur to speak and continued, "Because I knew that I couldn’t stop her anyway. Do you know what Zayn Guggenheim is to Lindsey? He’s her whole life."

Opposite him, Arthur heard his words and became more wooden. He lowered his eyes and was deep in thought.

Arthur obviously knew that he could not stop Lindsey. In fact, he had other means to stop Lindsey from going.

However, when she looked at him like that earlier, it inexplicably made him feel like he was powerless and it felt horrible.

Shaun looked at his watch from time to time. Every second seemed to be stretched out indefinitely and time passed very slowly.

Lindsey drove past the entrance of the psychiatric hospital, turned a corner, and drove onto another road with even fewer street lights. Something seemed to be lurking in the darkness.

This was the first time Lindsey came here since she returned to the States. The streetlights only illuminated the darkness within the vicinity, and the shadowed trees on both sides of the road looked particularly eerie when the branches and leaves rustled in the breeze.

Lindsey slowly stopped her car in front of the abandoned funeral home. Then, her phone rang right on time like an alarm clock.

"Get out." These were two simple words that matched the environment.

The last time he was here was a horrible experience. Shaun rubbed his sore brow. ‘Do all criminals like the atmosphere around funeral homes?’

‘No, no, no...there must be something I’ve overlooked…’

That time at the funeral parlor in the western suburbs, Shaun was caught by Allie Wilford and almost died. Lindsey was there as well and did not even know that her best friend Allie was the one who kidnapped her.

Now that Shaun was back here and Lindsey was once again taken away, the only other person left in the equation was Allie Wilford.

‘But, wasn't Allie already dead in that fire?’

Besides them, who else knew what had happened at the funeral home in the western suburbs back then and could reuse it? Could it be that Liam Wilford was still alive?

Shaun’s thoughts came to a dead end.

When Lindsey received the first phone call, she never told them what Ann said. Otherwise, Shaun probably would not have been so surprised.

Lindsey was splashed awake with cold water.

It was still cooling during the nights in early summer. The cold water which seemed to have been chilled in the refrigerator was poured over her head and slid down her neck into her clothes, which made Lindsey jolt upright.

The dull pain at the back of her neck made Lindsey a little dizzy for a moment. Lindsey resisted the surge of nausea and forced herself to open her eyes to look around.

The first thing she saw was a lavish hall, but it was not the lobby of a hotel. It seemed to be inside a villa.
