Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 201 - 180: She Is the Only Woman in My Life!

Chapter 201: Chapter 180: She Is the Only Woman in My Life!

After chatting for a while, Laura Quincy prepared to leave. No matter what, she still had to return to Norcastle tomorrow! She needed to go back tonight to pack her luggage.

The property management had just called and said that the graffiti at her door had been cleaned up, and they also promised that no one would disturb her again...

Heh!

The world changes so fast!

Just as she walked to the hospital entrance, she ran into several journalists blocking the way, who immediately surrounded her.

"Miss Quincy, are you actually dating Fourth Young Master Hawthorne?"

"Miss Quincy, can you tell us more about the events from six years ago?"

"Miss Quincy, what’s the secret to your romance with Fourth Young Master Hawthorne? Ever since the live broadcast, you’ve become the enemy of all his female fans!"

The journalists’ questions were sharp and aggressive, with microphones pointed at Laura Quincy, seeming like they wouldn’t give up until they got the answers they wanted.

Since the first time she was chased down by journalists asking if she was a kidnapper, she really hated being surrounded by the flashing lights.

For her, it was all bad memories.

Moreover, it left a shadow in her heart that she was very averse to...

It was at this moment that Jason Hawthorne appeared, descending like a god, protecting Laura Quincy behind him with domineering presence, his tone stern, "I’ll repeat this one last time, Laura is my woman! The only woman of my life, Jason Hawthorne! If you dare to appear in front of her and disturb her again, losing your job will be the least of your worries."

The journalists were instantly dumbfounded. Would Fourth Young Master’s words come back to haunt him in the future?

Before they could react, a stern voice commanded, "Get lost!"

Instantly, the onlooking journalists scattered in fear. Who would dare offend Fourth Young Master Hawthorne? If he remembered their faces, they’d be in deep trouble.

Besides, his words earlier were enough to make headlines.

If he and Laura Quincy didn’t have a happy ending, people would surely talk about it gleefully in the future!

After everyone dispersed, Laura Quincy softly said, "Thank you."

She felt a bit lost in her heart. Would it be true what he just said, that she was the only woman in his life?

Jason Hawthorne glanced at her, "Are you hurt?"

Laura Quincy shook her head, "No."

Jason Hawthorne held her hand, "I’ll take you home, otherwise I won’t be at ease."

Laura Quincy knew he was worried there might be journalists waiting for her in the neighborhood. With him blocking those issues for her, it would indeed be better...

His series of actions and attentive behavior certainly added a lot of points for him...

Laura Quincy did not refuse his kindness again. A series of events happened today, making her mind a bit chaotic, and she indeed didn’t enjoy dealing with journalists.

After getting into the car, neither of them spoke first.

It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing...

Jason Hawthorne suddenly spoke, "Laura, will you stay in Aethelburg?"

He would be very busy during this period and hoped she could stay by his side so he could take better care of her and prevent any other accidents from happening.

Laura Quincy’s mind was in a whirl, just forgive him like this?

She turned her head to look out the window, "I haven’t decided yet..."

Jason Hawthorne suddenly held her hand, "Everything in the past was my fault. I promise I won’t deceive you from this moment on. Every word I said to the journalists was from the heart. For the rest of my life, you’re the only woman I want."

His deep black eyes were full of affection, like a giant black vortex drawing her in, unable to move...

Oh no!

Her heart started thumping wildly again...

As if it might jump out at any moment.

A woman can never quite resist a man’s sweet words and considerate actions, especially when the woman is intricately linked to the man.

Laura Quincy thought Jason Hawthorne might be the disaster of her life!

"Anyone can say sweet words, but few can truly follow through."

"I can give you time to evaluate me, and during this period, if you find I deceive you or do anything wrong to you, you can deal with me as you wish, and I’ll have no complaints."

Jason Hawthorne spoke deeply and affectionately. After going through so much, he had become much more fluent in sweet-talking.

Laura Quincy felt a headache. Mary was indeed right. This man had changed a lot. When she first knew him, he was a cold, domineering iceberg Demon King who didn’t care for reason!

Now, he speaks love words so smoothly...

"Let me think about it! My mind is really chaotic now..."

Laura Quincy withdrew her hand. If she let him hold it any longer, she wouldn’t know what she’d say.

Women! Truly emotional creatures...

Jason Hawthorne, seeing his strategy was working, stopped speaking, figuring it was necessary to give her some time to think it over.

"Alright, I won’t pressure you."

Look at that! How reasonable is that statement!

Laura Quincy couldn’t help but wonder if this man had recently attended some emotional training class, suddenly becoming so considerate and thoughtful.

It was completely inconsistent with the person he was before!

Jason escorted Laura graciously to her doorstep before leaving. Before he left, he called Mason Cross, asking him to contact the property management of Laura’s residential community to ensure she wouldn’t be disturbed.

That night, Laura had some insomnia, her mind a chaotic mess with no clear thoughts, as two little figures argued incessantly with no conclusion.

So much so that when she woke up the next morning, her eyes were completely panda-like, not even BB cream could cover it...

Getting up, brushing her teeth, washing her face, Laura decided that whether she stayed in Norcastle or not, she’d still head over today. After all, the company had been good to her, and even if she resigned, she had to do it in person.

Just as she arrived at the company, her colleague Little Kim greeted her with a cheerful smile, "Wow! It’s so great! Finally, we see the healthy, lively you again!"

Laura smiled, "Thank you for calling the emergency number back then; otherwise, my injuries would have been worse."

Little Kim waved her hand, "Oh come on! We’re all colleagues, it’s what I should have done! I’m just glad you’re alright. I was scared to death at the time, and I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to visit you in the hospital."

Laura nodded with a smile, "Your good intentions have reached me, and that’s what matters."

Little Kim is straight to the point, "So, are you here to resign this time?"

Laura was surprised, "Why do you say that?"

Little Kim covered her mouth and giggled, "Yesterday, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne confessed to you in a live broadcast for the whole nation to see. How do you plan to deny that?"

Laura’s face was embarrassingly red; she truly underestimated the power of the internet.

"I..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Hehe! I always thought the rumored Fourth Young Master was a cold, workaholic who didn’t understand love, but from yesterday’s video, he seems like a high-profile, high-emotion, super gentle, and compassionate good man!"

Laura was speechless. Really?

"Can you really tell anything just from a video?"

"Of course you can! A person’s eyes reveal their inner thoughts the most. I’ve been keeping special track of Fourth Young Master’s eyes! They’re so deeply affectionate that it overwhelmed me with girl-like feelings!"

Little Kim said dramatically, showing all the signs of a female fan.

Laura held her forehead, thinking she might have to watch the video again, given this reaction?

Little Kim added, "Also, you should know that Fourth Young Master’s confession video is now the highest-clicked on the entire internet, and I estimate it’ll stay on Weibo’s trending list for at least a week."

Laura forced a couple of dry laughs, "No way, it can’t be that exaggerated."

Little Kim acted lovestruck, "Of course it is! Female fans wouldn’t miss a chance to glimpse Fourth Young Master’s high looks, and I believe the video download numbers are staggering too, because Fourth Young Master is indeed very handsome! He’s no less attractive than male models on the runway!"

Laura felt she couldn’t continue the conversation with her, as it would only keep derailing her thoughts!

"I’ll head to the minister’s office first."

"Hmm... go ahead! Let’s have lunch together!"

"Sure."

After waving goodbye to Little Kim, Laura knocked on the minister’s office door.

"Minister, thank you for your trust and care during this time. I’m here today to..."

She was only halfway through when she was interrupted, "Have you really made up your mind to resign? Actually, I see a lot of potential in you; your professional skills are excellent, exactly the kind of talent our company desperately needs right now..."

Uh...

Laura was a bit stunned, it seemed everyone knew about the situation with Jason Hawthorne and her. Even if she wanted to stay, she feared it would only make her the focus of gossip...

"Minister, thank you for trusting me, but I’m currently at the center of attention, and I’m worried it will affect work, not to mention colleagues might start pointing fingers at me."

"I also considered that. Let’s do this: our translation work is always very flexible, so I’ll give you a special privilege to work from home, although you will need to travel a few times a month. We won’t shortchange you on salary."

Laura thought it over, "Won’t this create problems with other employees?"

She didn’t want to be an exception that sparked a series of conflicts.

The minister shook his head, "Our company has made similar exceptions before, specifically for particularly outstanding translators. To retain talent, we sometimes have to be creative. And since you’re from Aethelburg, this way you won’t have to travel frequently. For the trips, I’ll have Little Kim partner with you; she’s straightforward and doesn’t have any schemes."

Laura thought this was a good idea, and finding a new job back in Aethelburg might face the same issues. So staying with the current company seemed like the better choice.
