Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 174 Why The Hell Are You Crying

“Come back here!” Kristie exclaimed frantically.

She finally got to her feet after removing her cumbersome heels and rushed to keep up.

By the time she reached the empty streets, James was nowhere to be found.

“Why won’t you listen to me, you stupid Gray Wolf! I didn’t do it on purpose.” Kristie sobbed profusely as she took in the desolate scene around her.

She had no idea that they were siblings.

Kristie crouched down and burst into uncontrollable tears as she was overcome with the indignity she’d suffered.

He’s too much!

How could he abandon me in such an unfamiliar place?

Several blonde-haired youths who were passing by noticed Kristie weeping by the road. They took in her flawlessly fair skin and exchanged glances before making their way toward her.

One of the youths crouched down beside Kristie and asked in broken Anglandurn, “Hey, why are you crying?”

Kristie raised her head and was repulsed by their hoodlum-like behavior. “How does this concern you? Leave me alone!”

She stood up and prepared to leave.

“Come on, don’t go! Let’s have some fun together!” The youth grabbed Kristie.

“Get your filthy hands off me!” Kristie shrieked as she slapped his hand off her. The youths started encircling her as if she were part of their gang to avoid attracting too much attention.

They were about to coerce her to go along with them when a tall and broad figure appeared menacingly.

“Let her go.”

The youths were annoyed at being disrupted. “Who the hell are you? She’s ours now, so get out of our—”
