Chapter 855 - 880: She Knew He Came (1)
PM, the sky darkened.
It didn’t make much difference to Mia Ginger, as the carriage was already dim and pitch-black.
Only Ford’s phone flashlight offered a bit of light.
The light was directed at Mia Ginger.
She just sat on the floor, leaning against one side of the carriage, her head bowed, as quiet as could be, wrapped in a pale blue shirt with thin shoulders, the halo reflected on her face, delicate and beautiful, making Ford feel like wings could grow on her back.
Most women he usually saw were fierce, where had he ever met such a pure and immaculate girl?
In his twenties now, with no job and no woman, idling every day, the most beautiful he had seen in real life was Zuri Ginger.
Zuri is his cousin.
Ron King doted on her, even if given a few more guts, he wouldn’t dare harbor such lecherous thoughts.
But now—
He felt that compared to Mia Ginger, Zuri was like the heavens, and Mia was like the earth; appearances come from within.
Whenever Zuri and Charlotte Chester met, sparks flew, and she bossed Ron King around, showing sheer disdain for him. While her face was indeed pretty, it was truly a bit harsh, and compared to the girl before him, it was quite off-putting.
Is there really such an obedient and delicate girl in this world?
Ford looked at her again, recalling her cautious and defiant yet timid avoidance during the journey here, feeling something was amiss within this rigid and airtight carriage.
How thrilling!
He was daydreaming when a piercing ring suddenly shattered the silence.
Ron King jolted, pulled out his phone for a glance, and answered, "Coming?"
His tone was vicious.
He’d been leaning against the carriage, almost asleep, having just dreamt.
In the dream, the police surrounded this rundown parking lot.
Startled awake, how could he not be nervous?
Charlotte Chester grumbled on the phone, saying there were too many cars and few people, she couldn’t find the place.
"Alright, alright, I’ll come get you, wait in the middle lane," Ron King said impatiently, turning to Ford, "Watch her, I’ll go fetch Charlotte."
He was actually a bit disoriented now.
This wasn’t just some random abduction.
Even if he got the money, what could he do? Leaving aside crossing borders, he might find no place to hide within Cloud Capital City. He needed Charlotte Chester to quickly come up with a plan; she’d been with Aiden Jiang for so long, surely she would know the best way to settle this for them.
"Go ahead."
Ford replied, and Ron King opened the carriage door and left.
Mia Ginger looked up, seeing the darkness outside.
The door closed from outside, leaving a bit of light inside.
She didn’t want to meet Ford’s gaze.
She could feel his naked stare fixed on her, as if it had stripped her clothes off.
"Are you hungry?" Ford suddenly asked.
Mia Ginger froze, raising her eyes to look at him, discovering that his greedy gaze was mixed with a trace of probing, seemingly deliberate flattery.
She looked at him and didn’t speak.
Her mouth was stuffed with ragged cloth, the corners seemed cracked, and she couldn’t say a word.
Ford reached out and pulled the cloth from her mouth.
Mia Ginger lowered her head, taking two deep breaths. Her throat felt painful, not just painful but dry and itchy, likely allergic due to the smell of the cloth, very uncomfortable.
