My Paranoid Lover (Lance Mason)
Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Hurt

In the noon at around 3pm, Lance asked me if I wanted to join him in watching the football match

Since he asked, of course I had no choice but to say yes. If I spend time with him more, I might become more important to him, I guess?

Lance drove us to the stadium. He didn't bring any of his servants or driver, it was just us, alone. We drove from London to Manchester City. It took us around 3 hours to arrive. We ate at a restaurant near the stadium and went in to wait for the match.

I looked around and noticed more and more British and Whites entering the stadium. I got a little scared for no reason, they were all very tall and big, and they didn't look particularly friendly.

Lance noticed my discomfort and turned around, looking at me he asked: "What's wrong?"

I whispered into his ears and said, "Do you know what is famous in England?"

"What?" he asked in confusion.

"Football gangsters, look at these people with fierce faces. If their favourite team didn't win, they would start fighting. If we sit between them, we might not get lucky." I

said.

Lance listened to what I said and looked around. "You really do know something about football, you still know their team jersey."

Since our topic of conversation came to football, I didn't mind chatting with him.

We talked a lot about different teams before the match started. I was able to chat with him regarding football, as I am really someone who watched football a lot. And due to my good memories, I have always been able to remember stuff about football.

Lance stared at me with wide eyes, he must not have expected a little woman like me would have so much knowledge about football. He must have thought I said I like football just to make him happy. He started to talk to me more about football, he seemed to be really into this topic.

"If you like, you could always set up a small football club, since you don't even care about those small amount of money, why not? It may help bring some profit too." I said and winked. From his eyes, I knew Lance was satisfied with my behaviour right now.

"You're right, I don't mind the small amount of money, but if we want to do it, we must do it well. However, for now, I don't have the time or energy for this yet." Lance said.

I thought about it for a while and the corner of my lips twitched up, "Why not you let me do it? I'm interested in this!" i exclaimed.

"You...... What can a woman like you do for football?" Lance smirked, perhaps he has always looked down on woman like me.

I shrugged my shoulder, "I was just suggesting, nothing serious."

The match started in no time, we sat on the bench and watch the players running around on the green field.

During the first half, the two teams got a tie. It wasn't a very competitive match and not very excited.

The next half match on the other hand, was much more exciting. The two teams kept taking turns in scoring. Nobody knew what to expect until the end of the match!

This made me think, it's not confirmed yet who would be the winner or loser, me or Lance Mason.

Perhaps we were like this two teams, nobody would know who wins until the end of the match, until one side dies.

When the match ended, me and Lance stood up t leave, but just when we were about to exit the stadium, we heard gunshots. In Western countries, people are allowed to own guns, but it was still unbelievable to me that someone actually brought guns into a sports stadium!

The football fans started to go crazy in the stadium. Everyone panicked, it was a mess. Lance pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly. Nobody knew if the bullets would enter their body just like that.

I was so terrified that I was shaking in his arms. I have never seen such a scene. On the other hand, Lance was pretty calm, like he had already witnessed and experienced something like this.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine, I'll get us out safely." Lance comforted me.

I nodded in his arms, not even speaking a word.

Suddenly, a black guy with a gun aimed at our direction. I was so shocked that I pushed both of us down. Lance didn't know what happened and I landed on top of him. The bullet pierced into my skin. It hit my back.

I couldn't believe myself. Why did I save him instead of myself?

Why the hell did I take a bullet for the man I hated so much?
