One Night Surprise Chapter 400

Chapter 400 I Don’t Want to Live Like This Anymore

“Fatso…” Lil’ Mackaque’s face turned pale with fright. Knowing that he had put his foot in his mouth, he said, “That’s not what I meant…”

Fatso had always been gentle and good-natured. At this moment, however, he seemed to be pissed off. Giving off a chilling aura through every pore, he stared icily at Lil’ Mackaque before him, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

As Courtney mulled over what Lil’ Mackaque had said just now, she sensed that something was amiss. The words ‘late wife’ must be referring to Fatso’s deceased wife, but what does Fatso’s deceased wife have to do with Dragon? Why would Dragon give Fatso some compensation for the sake of a woman who had passed away?

While she was thinking about it, Lil’ Mackaque had hurriedly made up for his slip of the tongue just now and apologized to Fatso in a humble manner. Still, after beating around the bush, he persuaded Fatso to leave the island with him. “Just take your time and think about whether I’m right or not for Dawn’s sake, if not for others. The island’s full of guys like us. You can’t let a young lady spend her entire life with us, can you?”

Fatso picked up the saw on the ground, but he sawed the block of wood much slower than usual. He was mulling over what Lil’ Mackaque said. However, he didn’t give Lil’ Mackaque a definite reply even after the affair in the cabin ended. Courtney didn’t dare to stay any longer for fear of drawing their attention, so she went back into the cabin.

The air in the room was heavy with an icky smell, which smelled somewhat pungent due to the lack of ventilation. Poppy was putting on her clothes in bed. Her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes looked numb.

“I’ll get you some water.”

Unable to bear the sight of the scene, Courtney poured some water for Poppy from the thermos in the cabin. Just then, she heard Poppy’s voice say from behind, “He said he’s going to ask Dragon for a favor and make me his own in the future.”

Courtney’s expression froze at her words. “Did you agree to it?”

Poppy bit her lips, her voice quavering slightly as she replied with sobs, “I can’t help feeling that the solution you told me is not much different from sitting around and doing nothing. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

Courtney turned to look at Poppy. This was the first time she saw Poppy shedding tears in such a long time.

Poppy continued, “He said he won’t let anyone else bully me anymore and that he’ll be kind to me. He said we have to stay on the island for the time being, but after all this is over, he’ll find a way to take me outside and help me settle down.”

“So you believed him?”
