In Love, Never Say Never

“You want to see a child, right? That’s why I brought you here. Why are you displeased?” Marcus replied nonchalantly.

Feeling like a fool, I exclaimed through gritted teeth. “You know that’s not what I mean. I want to see my son. Tell me, is he even here?”

“Ha!” Marcus snickered before he stepped in and pretended to be kind enough to stop the kids from crying. “Every child here has been separated from their parents. Letty, I’ll give you a chance. Pick a child here, and I’ll release you both. How does that sound?”

“Release us?” I refused to believe he would be that kind. “On what condition?” Instead of answering my question, Marcus insisted. “Think about it. The kids are all born on the same day as your son. You can take any of them away.”

“What do you mean?” I demanded.

“You want a child, right? They are still young and won’t remember their past. Or don’t you trust yourself? Can’t you treat someone else’s child as your own?” asked Marcus.

I was stunned. Marcus was asking me to find a substitute for me and Ashton’s son here.

He had no idea Ashton sneaked into my room last night, so he shouldn’t be trying to please me right now. Most importantly, his idea was utterly ridiculous.

I shook my head and sneered. “Until now, you still think there’s a replacement for everything, huh?”

Our familial bond might be invincible, but it would never disappear. I believe Marcus wouldn’t understand that, ever.

“I’m curious as to what you will gain through this.”

He schemed and did everything he could to lure me here, but now he was asking me to escape with someone else’s child. Wasn’t that contradictory?

Marcus was stubborn, but he was no fool. He must have his own reasons for doing so.

Narrowing his gaze, Marcus considered for a moment before saying, “Why would you be with Ashton? He couldn’t even protect you and your child. Letty, you are the most important person in my life. As long as you say yes, we can escape with a baby and leave everything behind. I promise I will keep you and the baby safe.”

Promise?

Right now, Marcus’ promise was worth nothing.

Still, luck was still on my side. Marcus was obsessed with me, but he showed no intention of harming me. I deduced that he wasn’t the mastermind.

“Is Camelia and my son in their hands?” I asked.

Perhaps Marcus had no choice but to work with them because of that.

Upon hearing my question, Marcus’ gaze turned menacing. He glared at me and declared, “If your son goes missing forever, and you have a chance to leave with me and a baby here, will you do so?”

I gulped unwittingly at the upcoming danger.

Yet, I refused to back down. I couldn’t allow my son to fend for himself.

Parting my lips, I clenched my fists and calmed down to reply to him. Before I could do so, a figure appeared in a flash and held a knife to Marcus’ neck.

After restraining Marcus, the figure slowly showed herself. It was Helga.

I thought Marcus was one of them? Why are they attacking each other now?

I was still in a daze when a sinister voice rang out. “Well, well. I did warn you not to be a smart arse, didn’t I?”

Armond’s figure stepped out from behind Helga.

He flashed an evil grin which made my skin creep as though he had just crawled out from the depths of hell. “Scarlett, I said we will meet soon. I was right, huh?”

In love, never say never chapter 1242

I inhaled sharply and fell silent.

Something told me that Armond was somehow involved in this, but I was still shaken up upon seeing him here.

An unknown enemy was terrifying, but it didn’t apply to Armond.

Even though I knew everything about him, I couldn’t predict how evil he could be.

“Boss, how should we punish this fella?” Helga inquired as she pressed her knife further into Marcus’ neck. She seemed eager to spill some blood.

I belatedly realized Helga was working for Armond. Everything made sense now.

Armond strode over to them and proceeded to give Marcus a flying kick, knocking him to the ground.

It seemed that Armond’s strength had improved when he was overseas. Marcus fell to the ground and lurched backward until he hit the wall.

“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.” Armond placed his palms on his knees and gazed at Marcus like he was studying his prey. “How dare you try to take what’s mine? Hmm, how should I punish you?”

Marcus leaned against the wall furiously, but he didn’t utter a word as though he was afraid of Armond.

“Boss, don’t dirty your hands. I’ll handle him,” offered Helga.

I could sense she wanted Marcus to die.

Armond looked at Marcus before turning to look at me. He thought about it, but didn’t agree with her suggestion. “Forget it. Lock him up. He’s still useful.”

“But Boss—” Helga protested.
