The entire Night Owl Organization knew that Leigh and I were the most valuable male and female mercenaries on the dark web.

We met when we were seven years old and we had been through life and death for twenty years. We had fought together in the sea of ​​blood and corpses to reach the top.

When we were on a mission, we ate and slept together and we never avoided each other even when taking a bath.

“Marshall, look at your big and strong appearance, how did you hook up with that old woman last night?”

She threw the short-sleeved shirt directly on my face. “Wash your clothes well. I feel sick when I smell them. Don’t affect my shooting speed!”

I always thought that Leigh would be my woman sooner or later.

Until half a year ago, we were ordered to protect the young master of the Adams Family.

The look in her eyes when she looked at him was soft and gentle, which I had never seen in more than twenty years.

She even violated the regulations to peek at Bryant taking a bath and even looked at his back...

At that moment, I realized that she was not born calm and self-sustaining, but the person who could arouse her desire was never me.

After submitting the retirement application, I called my grandfather.

“Grandpa, is the idiot from the Porter Family still alive? I agree to marry her!”

——

“Miss Porter has been raised in the countryside since she was a child because of her mental retardation. Have you really thought it through? Don’t you like your partner very much?”

Grandpa’s voice came from the receiver and I looked at the familiar figure in the house.

She was standing outside the bathroom door and every breath was filled with the smell of desire.

I spoke softly, “I’ve thought it through.”

Grandpa didn’t ask any more questions.

“Okay, get ready. I’ll send a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow.”

After hanging up the phone, I pushed the door and walked in.

The moment I walked in, Leigh’s expression was a little embarrassed.

Seeing me come in, she grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it at me.

“Get out! Don’t you know that there is a difference between men and women?”

I just thought it was ridiculous. From the age of five to now, for a full twenty years, we had eaten and slept together when we were on a mission and even bathed together. Now, she told me that there was a difference between men and women.

Leigh, didn’t you think it was too late?

“Leigh, who is famous and the most valuable in the night, can actually do something that violates the rules by peeping at her employer taking a bath. Do you really like him so much?”

Leigh seemed to be anxious because of what I said and she pinched my chin fiercely.

“Marshall, you crossed the line!”

I shook her hand away and asked her with a sneer, “I crossed the line? It’s you who crossed the line, not me! Leigh, you really make me sick.”

Leigh laughed in anger and her eyes revealed the confidence of knowing everything.

“Marshall, you don’t have to be so aggressive. I’m making you sick? It’s your thoughts that make people sicker, right? Do you think I don’t know your little thoughts? You’d better give up this idea as soon as possible. In my eyes, you are not even a man.”

Leigh’s words hit me hard on the head, making me dizzy and speechless for a while.

Leigh didn’t care about my embarrassment, grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of her room.

The moment I fell to the ground in a mess, the door of the room slammed heavily in front of me and a pleasant voice came into my ears at this time.

“Marshall, what’s wrong with you? Did you quarrel with Leigh?”

I looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Bryant, the young master of the Adams Family who had just taken a shower and the employer of Leigh and me.

I stared at Bryant in a daze. His hair was still wet after taking a shower and he exuded a youthful atmosphere similar to that of a male.

Leigh was right. Compared with him, a man covered in blood like me really couldn’t catch her eye.

Seeing that I didn’t speak for a long time, Bryant was a little confused.

“Marshall, why don’t you speak? Don’t be angry with Leigh. She has that temper and doesn’t look like a girl at all. You should give in to her more.”

The intimacy in Bryant’s words was not concealed. I finally came to my senses and stood up and shook my head at Bryant.

“It’s okay, Mr. Adams, you should go to bed early.”

Looking at Bryant’s back as he left, my heart seemed to be pulled back and forth by a rusty sawtooth. For twenty years, I didn’t see clearly that Leigh always liked such a well-behaved and clean man.

And I was not.

Early the next morning, Leigh knocked on my door.

“Hurry up and get up. Today is the day for routine physical examination.”

As Bryant’s personal bodyguards, Bryant's father hired Leigh and me at a high price. Naturally, there were many requirements for us and the monthly routine physical examination was one of them.

The person sent by my grandfather to pick me up would arrive tomorrow. Before that, I didn’t want Leigh to be suspicious and cause other troubles, so I followed her to Adams Family’s private hospital.

Who knew that we met Bryant just outside the doctor’s office.

As soon as she saw Bryant, Leigh’s calmness disappeared instantly.

“Mr. Adams, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Leigh’s anxiety and concern in her eyes were not concealed.

I laughed at myself. I had never noticed such an obvious thing before.

Was it because Leigh acted too well in the past, or was I too stupid?

Bryant smiled slightly and seemed to be very pleased with Leigh’s concern.

“It’s okay. I have a stomachache. It’s an old problem. I came here to get some medicine today. What about you? Aren’t you resting today? Why did you come to the hospital?”

It seemed that Bryant didn’t know about our monthly routine physical examination. I spoke before Leigh.

“She’s pregnant. I’ll accompany her to check.”

I knew that I had lost miserably in this relationship, but I didn’t know why. Looking at Leigh’s anxious look just now, even for a second, I wanted to regain some dignity for myself.

Even if it was to give myself an explanation for the past twenty years.

Sure enough, Bryant’s face changed when he heard what I said.

“What! Are you pregnant?”

Perhaps because he felt that his reaction was too big, Bryant quickly put away the displeasure on his face and smiled reluctantly.

“Being pregnant is a good thing. I’m just surprised that you are actually in a relationship. Okay, go check it out. It’s getting late.”

Leigh wanted to speak countless times, but I cut her off again and again.

After seeing Bryant leave, Leigh finally couldn’t help it anymore. She glared at me fiercely and chased after him.

I was stunned for a long time, but I followed the direction they just left and finally saw them in the stairwell.

Bryant’s pretty eyebrows frowned slightly and his pretty face was full of grievances.

“I thought you liked me, but it turned out that I had misunderstood all along?”

Leigh, the cold and ruthless female devil in the eyes of everyone, blushed in front of a man and was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands.

“No... It’s not a misunderstanding. I like... I like you.”

Bryant’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but then frowned again.

“Then why are you pregnant? You’re not going to say that the pregnancy is a misunderstanding?”

Just then, a nurse passed by me with a cart.

“Sir, please move aside.”

This voice instantly attracted the attention of the two people in the stairwell.

Leigh’s eyes fell on me and the shyness on her face instantly turned into anger.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me in front of Bryant.

“Marshall! Tell Bryant yourself! What nonsense are you talking about just now? I’m pregnant? I wouldn’t even look at you when you took off your clothes and lay in front of me. What kind of pregnancy am I?”

Leigh’s words were like countless knives stabbing my heart and it hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.

Seeing my expression, Bryant seemed to understand something and smiled and took Leigh’s hand.

“It seems that Marshall just wanted to play a joke on us. It’s okay. Just explain it clearly. I don’t mind. I have to thank Marshall. If it weren’t for his joke, you, a lovely woman, would never confess to me…”

I stood there in a daze, staring at Leigh and Bryant’s intertwined hands.

Bryant’s voice became farther and farther away until I could no longer hear any sound.

When I came to my senses, I was the only one left in the stairwell.

It was almost dark when I returned to Adams Family’s house. I was about to go back to my room, but when I passed by Leigh’s room, I heard a dirty sound.

I looked in through the crack of the open door and saw Bryant working hard on Leigh.

Leigh’s voice was so charming that it made people’s bones melt.

“Bryant, my good Bryant, I like you so much…”

Bryant’s tone was a little angry.

“Then why don’t you confess to me? Isn’t it because of Marshall? Don’t think I don’t know that Marshall likes you. Keep your voice down. Marshall will be back soon.”

Leigh’s voice was full of lust.

“What does it have to do with me if he likes me? Didn’t I say today that in my eyes, he is not even a man, dear Bryant. If you mind, I will make him get out of Night Owl Organization completely. In my eyes, he is not even as good as a hair of yours. Don’t worry, I have closed the door and he won’t see it when he comes back. You don’t have to be shy…”

As Leigh finished speaking, Bryant on her body suddenly turned his eyes and met my eyes in the air.

At this moment, what else did I not understand?

Bryant did it on purpose. Leigh said that she closed the door, but it was Bryant who deliberately opened the door and deliberately let me see all this.

It seemed that Bryant was not as harmless as he looked on the surface.

Looking at Bryant’s provocative smile, I lowered my eyes and closed the door for them.

Early the next morning, Bryant walked into my room. The dense red marks on his neck stung my eyes.

He looked at me with a smug look on his face, took off a necklace from his neck and played with it carefully.

“Was the big show last night good? This is the punishment for you lying to me in the hospital yesterday.”

I didn’t respond to Bryant’s words, but stared at the necklace in his hand.

The pendant of the necklace was a yellowed bullet and that bullet almost shot into my heart.

Five years ago, in an extremely dangerous S-level mission, Leigh was accidentally injured and the other party wanted to take Leigh’s life completely while she was injured.

I and the other party fired a bullet at the same time.

The other party died on the spot and the bullet shot at me was only half an inch away from my heart and I was lucky to save my life.

When I woke up from the hospital bed, Leigh was lying in front of my bed with red eyes. She was always calm and ruthless, but at that moment she was like a frightened rabbit.
