The air seemed to be frozen, and Rachel felt that the man’s powerful and cold aura was stifling.
A moment later, Ewan ripped the seal off her mouth and untied the rope around her wrists.
Rachel sat up, with her hands firmly pressed on the uniform that covered her body, covertly wiping away the tears from her eyes. She bowed her head and said, “Ewan, thank you.”
As if he didn’t hear, Ewan gazed at Rachel with unusually distant look and ordered his subordinates in a dignified and deep voice, “Take these people to the warship and leave them to coast guards.”
Bently Ramos, one of his followers, replied deferentially, “Yes, Sir.”
Rachel nervously looked up and put on the uniform, explaining anxiously, “Ewan, I’m not out to sea for fun. I come here to look for you…”
Ewan raised his thin lips slightly, showing an intriguing smirk, “Look for me?”
“Yes. I’ve been to the battalion, but the adjutant said that you were on a mission in the high seas. I couldn’t reach, so I went out to sea looking for you.” Rachel replied.
Ewan suddenly approached to her.
Rachel pretended to be calm, though she felt panic inward, since she didn’t know much about the man in front of her.
She moved back little by little as he approached nearer and nearer.
Ewan only said a few words indifferently, “Leave immediately.”
Rachel shook her head, unwilling to leave so.
“Ewan, mother must be framed by others, and now only you can save her. She…”
Before she finished speaking, Ewan coldly interrupted her, “People should pay the penalty for murder, and the law will decide if there is a grievance or not.”
Looking at the man’s indifferent eyes, Rachel felt extremely bitter in her heart.
He was away from home, but he knew what was going on in the family. If so, how can he be not in the least concerned about mother?
Rachel insisted, “For the sake of the childhood we spent together, please help me once.”
The man moved to her abruptly, and she was scared and falling back with a scream, “Ah…”
Rachel fell on the bed while Ewan bent over, imprisoning her under his arms, with such a close distance between them that she could clearly feel his strong masculine breath.
At the moment, her heart beat fast and violently, as if a small rabbit was jumping in her heart. With her warm and flushed cheeks, Rachel felt shy and nervous, so that her breathing was all messed up.
The man’s dangerous masculine breath was strong and oppressive. Showing a dark and sullen face, he aloofly muttered, “Do not force me with family affection. I’ve said before that my life would have nothing to do with you.”
“…”
Biting at her lower lip, Rachel felt that her heart was bleeding. It hurt so much that she could not say a word.
Ewan lowered his head down slowly, by which Rachel was frightened to close her eyes in a second and turned her head aside, with her face getting pale.
Then his warm breath flowed into her ear. He said teasingly with his husky voice, which was evil and cold-hearted, “Of course, if you want to try some perverted s-m with me, I’d love to join in.”
“You jerk…” Rachel blurted out without hesitation, but the next second she regretted for it.
The look on his face didn’t change at all, but his sharp eyes obviously turned gloomy. He looked at Rachel for a moment, then majestically ordered, “Take her back.”
Immediately, he straightened up and turned to leave.
Now that she had managed to find him, there was no way for her to leave so. No matter how much the man hated her or even loathed her, she had to get her mother out of the prison.
Dane French, one of Ewan’s subordinates, walked to Rachel and said, “Miss White, please follow me to the warship.”
“Ewan…” Rachel ran out quickly for Ewan, ignoring Dane directly.
Rachel chased up Ewan and stood in front of him, getting in his way. Panting slightly, she said adamantly, “It’s totally fine that you hate me and refuse to help me, but my mom is innocent. She is your stepmother, your father’s wife, and now she has been wrongly accused of murder. How can you ignore it and just stand by? Don’t you have a heart?”
Watching her stubborn but pretty face, Ewan said disdainfully with a contemptuous sneer, “No.”
Rachel was startled with her heart broken. Nevertheless, she did nothing but calmly looked into his eyes.
The look in his eyes was chilling and cold.
A moment later, Ewan brushed past her and ordered his men behind in a harsh tone, “Take this woman away. If she doesn’t cooperate, throw her to high seas to feed the sharks.”
“Yes, Sir.” the subordinates responded solemnly.
Rachel smiled bitterly, which looked worse than a sad face. Watching the tall, straight and good-looking man disappearing in her eyes, her eyes grew moist and the dry and burning throat made her uncomfortable.
What a ruthless man!
How much did he hate her so he must be so cruel to her?
She was taken to another warship, after all she could do nothing with the country’s (C country) Supreme General.
Late at night, the stars shone brightly in the sky, beneath which the vast sea was dark and endless. The warship whistled occasionally amid rustling wind.
With lingering fear over what happened before, Rachel hid in her room and locked the door, not daring to take a step away.
This ship was full of men who had been soldiers for years.
A woman’s presence in the army would definitely stir their sexual desires. Though they were righteous soldiers, she didn’t let her guard down.
Since her clothes were torn and there was only a suit of extra-large uniform in the room, after bathing, she wore the white shirt as a nightgown.
The room was warm and comfortable with the dim lamp.
However, Rachel sat on the bed with a heavy heart. She picked up the dark grey uniform and took it to her mouth quietly.
With her lips touching the clothes, she felt a clean smell of masculinity, a special scent of him, which was faint and pleasant.
Her heart involuntarily thumped, and her wrist artery beat violently. She slowly closed her eyes, imagining the warm embrace of Ewan.
It was really an unspeakable pain that to be hated by the man she had a crush on since childhood.
She wistfully folded the clothes and was about to sleep when she heard a man’s voice outside.
As she listened carefully, it seemed to be Ewan’s voice.
Rachel was quite surprised, hurriedly running to open the door.
When she walked out of the door, several men in uniforms happened to pass by, one of which seemed to be Ewan.
She excitedly called, “Ewan!”
The other men turned around but all of them stood there dumbfounded.
Rachel intently gazed at Ewan’s back, without noticing the shock of others at all. She said timidly, “I, uh, want to talk to you. Can you give me ten minutes?”
Ewan stood still in a straight manner.
Then Rachel took a step forward nervously, looking at him with her begging eyes, and asked him again, “How about five minutes? Just five minutes.”
Ewan turned a deaf ear to her. When he was about to leave he suddenly heard his subordinates whispered in their raucous but desired voices, “So beautiful.”
“Look at that pair of long legs…”
“She’s so white and sexy.”
Ewan turned around at once. When seeing Rachel, he immediately took on a grumpy and sinking face with uncontrollable rage.
The white uniform shirt on Rachel was actually more like a short skirt, which was loose, extremely short and alluring.
There was no doubt that Rachel was a beauty with perfect shape and charming appearance. Her beautiful slender legs would make men get a nosebleed.
Even though they were gentlemen of integrity, seeing such a beauty in front of them, those young soldiers couldn’t help but stare at her with their gleaming eyes.
Feeling strange looks in their eyes, Rachel belatedly realized that there was something wrong. She didn’t have time to react since Ewan had darted forward and dragged her by the arm into her room quickly.
“Ah…” Rachel shouted.
