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.

“Why are you crying? If others knew that Leigh was crying like this, they might laugh at us Night Owl Organization.”

I wanted to comfort Leigh in a joking tone, but she didn’t respond. She put her forehead on the back of my hand and spoke word by word with sobs.

“Marshall, don’t put yourself in danger in the future. I will be scared. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what to do.”

Of course, I knew what Leigh meant by this sentence. When I was seven years old and joined Night Owl Organization, Leigh was five years old.

In that organization that was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, we were each other’s only support.

Even the boss often teased us, saying that we were born to be a pair.

That day, Leigh’s red eyes completely pierced my heart and I naively told myself that I was not in unrequited love and Leigh and I were running toward each other.

The bullet was also made into a necklace by Leigh and she always carried it close to her body.

“This bullet will tell me at every moment that there is someone in this world who will risk his life to protect me.”

But now, she clearly knew the meaning of this bullet, but she still gave it to Bryant.

Leigh, you were such a piece of shit.

Seeing that I didn’t speak for a long time, Bryant’s face became even prouder.

“I know you like Leigh. After all, you look at her with such passionate eyes. Who can’t see your little thoughts? But wake up, a woman like Leigh is not something you can dream of. You don’t know yet? Leigh is the illegitimate daughter of the old man of the Stanley Family. She was sent to your organization after being discovered by Mrs. Stanley. Now the eldest daughter of the Stanley Family has died in an accident. Leigh has become the only blood of the old man of the Stanley Family. In the future, the entire Stanley Family will belong to her.”

Speaking of this, Bryant paused and the expression on his face became a little intriguing.

“But I heard that you are the second young master of the Harris Family who has been living outside for many years. I heard that the Harris Family is almost crazy looking for you and wants you to marry the fool of the Porter Family. Hahaha, it’s ridiculous. Is this the reason why you don’t want to go back to the Harris Family? Yes, facing a woman like Leigh, how could you willingly go back to marry a fool who grew up in the countryside? But guess what, if I call the Harris Family and tell them that you are in my house now, what will happen to you? The fool and you, it seems very suitable…”

I raised my head suddenly, staring at Bryant.

Although Violet and I had never met, I didn’t know why, when I heard Bryant calling her a fool, I felt like a ball of anger in my chest was about to explode.

I couldn’t bear it anymore and punched Bryant fiercely.

Bryant covered his face and was about to curse, but Leigh’s exclamation suddenly exploded in my ears.

“Marshall! What are you doing!”

Hearing this voice, Bryant’s pride turned into grievance.

“Marshall, I just want to ask if you were feeling unwell when you went to the hospital yesterday. How could you hit someone directly? Are you uncomfortable because Leigh and I are together? But feelings cannot be controlled…”

Leigh stared at Marshall’s swollen cheeks gloomily.

“Bryant, you don’t have to explain to him. He is just your bodyguard. To put it bluntly, he is your dog!”

Leigh protected Bryant behind her and turned her head to glare at me.

“I like Bryant. What are you angry about? Come to me!”

I ignored Leigh’s words and stared at her straight.

“I ask you, why is your necklace with him?”

Leigh was stunned and there was a flash of guilt in her eyes.

“It’s just a necklace. Bryant likes it, so I gave it to him. What’s the big deal?”

I wanted to say something, but Bryant’s face changed at this time and he grabbed Leigh’s hand.

“Leigh, my head is so dizzy. You accompany me to the hospital for a check-up.”

Leigh wanted to say something and her lips murmured for a long time and finally she helped Bryant leave.

As soon as they left, my phone rang at this time. It was my grandfather calling.

“Marshall, the car to pick you up will be here soon.”

When I got in the car sent by my grandfather, I looked at the villa getting farther and farther away from me in the rearview mirror. I felt calm in my heart and I couldn’t hear any sound anymore.

Leigh, goodbye.

At the same time, in the hospital, Leigh received a call from the boss of the Night Owl Organization.

“Leigh! What are you doing? Why can’t I get through to Marshall’s phone?”

Leigh began to panic unconsciously, but still resisted the waves of uneasiness.

“Can’t get through? He was fine this morning. Maybe his phone ran out of battery…”

This time, before Leigh finished her words, the boss interrupted her with an angry roar.

“Then tell me, why did Marshall submit an application to leave the team!”
