Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 618

Serene cried for an entire day. Her eyes were red and puffy. Then, she finally fell asleep in Wilson's arms.

Heaton arrived at Wilson's mansion in the evening.

The two men stood at the balcony. Wilson was extremely irritable—he took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"You smoke?"

Heaton took a cigarette from him and laughed. "I thought you've stopped smoking? When did you start again?"

Wilson did not have an addiction to cigarettes, and he rarely smoked. However, he felt a strong urge to smoke.

"I'm in a bad mood."

Wilson lit a match. Heaton leaned toward him to light his cigarette as well. The two men smoked in silence.

"What happened? Did you have a fight with Serene?"

"Nope, if it were a fight, I would not have been in such a bad mood."

Wilson did not explain further, nor did Heaton questioned. After all, it was a private matter between the couple. Even close friends should not ask each other about their personal lives. Men would not want to disclose too much about their problems. That was the difference between men and women.

Wilson looked at Heaton and asked, "When are you planning to go back?"

"I came here to bid you farewell. The person at home is waiting impatiently, so I'll have to head home soon. Plus, I don't think you'll need my help in the Stephen Mountain matter."

Wilson smiled. "Oh, we do. But would you stay?"

Heaton looked at him playfully as he took a puff and looked at the beautiful sunset. He said, "My main duty now is not to save the world. Even if I don't save the world, there are thousands of brave people like you who would do it. I still have to look after three people at home, so I can't put myself in danger."

Wilson punched him jokingly. "Such a showoff. What time is your flight?"

"Later tonight."

…

It was night time in Z country.

Wilson cuddled with Serene, but he was unable to fall asleep.

He silently got up and left the bedroom.

He had so many things bottled up in him—Stephen's betrayal, the truth of his parent's death, Serene's miscarriage… It all tumbled out of him.

Wilson was a strong man. Nevertheless, there were times when he would get depressed and anxious, as well. He stood on the balcony, and he was about to lit a cigarette when someone entered the mansion.

"Wilson Jarret! Come out now! I have no issues with you saving Serene, but you sold me out in the blink of an eye! I have a bone to pick with you!"

Wilson could hear Ruby yelling, so he went back into the living area.

Ruby returned the gun and glared at him. "Is this because I have feelings for you? You feel like you can manipulate and do whatever you want with me?"

The fact that Wilson swapped Ruby for the antidote hurt her a lot; it was not only her feelings but also her dignity. Ruby was a strong independent woman. In other people's eyes, she was the cold-blooded assassin, Black Rose. Men would cower when they hear her name. However, Ruby was also a woman; she has her fragility and emotional side. It did not matter if it was a one-sided crush; she still had her dignity.

"I never wanted to hurt your feelings. I did remove you from the Light Organization, but not at Frost Blade's request. Even if he did not request this, I would still do it. You're not only my comrade in arms. You're my brother, my sister, and my family. Ruby, I want you to live an ordinary life."

"And yet you gave me to Frost Blade! I'd rather be an assassin!"

"Frost Blade has the power to protect you. But if you don't want to follow him to C country, I will use all my powers to stop him."

Ruby bit her lips. She gave him a despicable look and said, "Forget it. What you said barely moved me. Even if Serene were not in the picture, I'd still follow Frost Blade back to C country."

Wilson looked slightly confused at Ruby's remark, but she did not give him the chance to ask any more questions. How could she tell him such an embarrassing matter?

For the sake of the Dark Organization, the peace between Z and C countries, her sacrifice seemed insignificant. Such an alliance would bring peace and happiness to many people, so why not?

Ruby turned and stated stubbornly, "I'm staying here tonight. You can't chase me away."

There was a perverted hungry wolf at her villa that night. When she thought about Blaine, she shuddered.

Wilson said, "Ruby, thank you."

"I saved Serene's life. If you want to thank me, get her to thank me herself."
