He was no longer the calm and steady military region leader, but instead looked like a youngster who had just started out in love. In the depths of his heart, there was clearly a ball of flame, yet he could only use cold water to extinguish it, and not let it ignite.

"I don't hate you, but you come here and bother me every day." Duke replied to her with a light voice.

"Did I trouble you?" Wendy's mind exploded, she was also clearly uneasy: "Sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this. You just stop the car, I'm going home now."

Wendy was a girl who knew the limits. There were some things that she would understand once she said it clearly. Duke did not like being with her.

"How are you going to get back?" Duke frowned. Although Wendy was not a stunning beauty, her cute and charming appearance still attracted quite a bit of attention. Furthermore, she was still inexperienced, so he was worried that she would be tricked.

"I'll take a cab home." Wendy did not get the driver to send her out today. She had gotten on a friend's car to come here, so, she could only take a taxi home.

"I will worried about you. Tell your driver to come and pick you up." Duke didn't agree to her way of returning home.

Wendy was startled, she suddenly saw a bustling business street in front of her with a lot of pedestrians, she immediately pointed: "You just stop at the side, my big brother's birthday is coming up, I'll go pick out a gift for him."

Duke looked at the crowd of people in front of him. If he put this girl down, she would probably squeeze into the crowd and be drowned in the crowd. She was wearing a denim dress that reached her knees today, what if she met a pervert?

"You're not allowed to go." The man's tone was firm and commanding. "Go home."

Wendy didn't think that this man actually wouldn't let her get off the car. She immediately muttered in dissatisfaction: "I really want to buy a present for my brother."

"You can't let my uncle know that I've met you. It's not good for you, okay?" Duke frowned, would she be able to understand the stakes involved?

"Could your uncle kidnap me? When he was in office, he promised not to hurt us in front of all the other officials." Wendy's beautiful face immediately filled with anger, she felt that his uncle was extremely hateful.

Duke's handsome face stiffened. That's right, his eldest uncle had stolen the position of President from Joseph Grant's father's hands. And when he had taken the position, it had attracted a lot of controversy. As such, he immediately swore on the spot that he would not harm the descendants of the Wood Family.

Oaths were sometimes worthless. In the face of power, he was simply pale.

"In short, I can't let him know about my meeting with you. I promised him that I won't contact your Wood Family again in the future." When Duke thought about the words that he had promised, his heart ached and his face tensed up.

"What?" Wendy could not believe that he would actually make such a promise to Old President, causing her face to turn pale white. Then, she suddenly shouted: "Duke, stop the car, I want to get off, I don't want to sit in your car, stop."

Duke obediently stopped the carriage at the side, his face stiff as he stared ahead.

Wendy immediately pushed open the door and ran down, she squeezed into the crowd, her eyes filled with tears, but refused to fall.

What happened to her? She came to replace him, but got such a ridiculous result. Wendy lowered her head and walked very quickly. She only wanted to quickly disappear by Duke's side and not stay for even a moment.

Wendy had escaped, she felt that she had lost a lot of face. Her family had repeatedly told her that a girl must hold back, and must definitely not take the initiative towards a man. But she had forgotten about the words of her family. When she heard that he had returned, she could not control her legs and ran over to see him.

"No more connection, no more connection." She lowered her head as tears rolled down her face. Her pink lips muttered nonstop. Then, she used the back of her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes as if she was holding back a breath.

Although Wendy felt that she could also be very cool and put down this relationship, only herself knew how painful and shocked she felt when she heard him say that.

"Hey, how did you walk? You knocked me!" Wendy walked forward in a daze, but accidentally bumped into a couple. The girl glared at her and scolded.

"I'm sorry." Wendy immediately apologized to the other party.

The girl had originally forgiven her, but when she turned around, she saw that her boyfriend's eyes were glued onto Wendy. She immediately pushed away the man beside her in anger: "You're deaf. She bumped into me. You asked her to apologize to me again."

The man immediately snapped out of his daze after being pushed like this by his girlfriend. He wanted to be the peacemaker: "I don't think so. There are so many people today, so it's normal for us to accidentally bump into each other."

"What's normal? She hurt me, you know? Are you really my boyfriend? How can you help an outsider? Do you want to break up?" The woman immediately became unrelenting. With an ashen face, she threw a tantrum at her boyfriend.

Hearing that they had broken up, the man was truly shocked, the perverted feelings in his heart immediately disappeared, and he immediately said to Wendy who was frozen at the side: "Hurry up and apologize to my girlfriend, then let's forget about this." Wendy was also startled, and immediately replied: "I already apologized sincerely, and furthermore, I didn't hit her, I just touched her."

"If I say it hurts, it hurts. Apologize. If you don't apologize, don't think about leaving today." The woman was clearly a woman that was not to be trifled with. Seeing that Wendy was still pretending to be pitiful, she immediately pushed her and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Wendy was really helpless, she knew that the other party was purposely making things difficult for her, but she was not in a good mood, even though she was being strongly pushed like that, she was still angry "You pushed me just now, so this matter was even. I won't apologize anymore." Wendy was also a person with principles, she was not afraid of the opponent lowering her head when she was strong.

The woman immediately stomped her foot and ordered her boyfriend, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you see that I was bullied by her?"

In order to make his girlfriend happy, the man immediately walked over and extended his hand to push Wendy. He hooted: "Is it hard to make you apologize? Didn't you see my girlfriend get angry? Hurry up. It was just that before that man's hand could even touch Wendy's sleeve, he was violently grabbed by a steel-like palm. In the next second, that man had only let go of his hand, yet that man had already taken a few steps back.

When Wendy saw that the man was about to push her, she instinctively took two steps back. However, she felt as if she was being hugged by a firm embrace, causing her to be shocked. In the next second, she saw that the man was pushed away by a large hand, helping her to escape.

Seeing that her boyfriend had weakened, the woman did not have the mood to continue shouting. She quickly supported her boyfriend and ran off in a dejected manner.

"

"Thank you..." Wendy immediately turned her head, wanting to thank the other party. But just as she said that word, she bounced away like lightning, because, even though the other party was wearing a mask she immediately recognized him.

Wendy angrily turned around again. This time, she was running.

However, no matter how fast she ran, the man's slender legs would still be able to keep up with her in time.

Wendy ran until she was out of breath, supporting herself with her legs, the man stood behind her as if nothing had happened.

"Duke, I want you to leave immediately. Don't follow me anymore. I owe you a favor just now, I will pay you back, and that's all." Wendy was furious and angry at the same time. Clenching his teeth, he extended a finger and pointed at the other party, and said those fierce words.

"Don't be willful. This place isn't safe. Go home." The man's voice was low and deep. If one listened carefully, one would be able to hear a hint of anxiety and concern.

"Why should I listen to you? I, Wendy, won't listen to you. Originally, I wanted to go home, but now I have changed my mind, I want to go to the bar in front of us to drink a cup." Wendy pointed with her small hand, pointing right at the door of a bar.

"Wendy, you..." Did Duke feel that she had gone mad. A young lady was going to a bar to drink?
