Chapter 80 We Are Not Suitable

Mark Pattinson frowned and looked at her with a displeased demeanour. ‘Congratulations? ‘She is saying congratulations!?’ Mark Pattinson's face was turning pale. He had never expected such a response after waiting for so long! He smiled sarcastically. Mark Pattinson, what were you expecting! Are you expecting this woman to give you some reciprocation? At this moment, he smirked with sarcasm and said, “Thank you!” Lyla sensed his gritty look, but she chose to ignore it automatically. She smiled, “You’re welcome...” Before she finished speaking, she was pulled into a hard embrace. She was caught off-guard and he repeatedly kissed her lips mercilessly, as if he was pouring out all his suppressed anger. It was unhinged and scary... Lyla was stunned and wanted to push him away, but he hugged her tighter and kissed her even more erratically. In the end, Lyla stopped struggling and just gave in. ‘He could not be having sex with her on the street.’ But her tepid response angered Mark Pattinson even more. He bit her lip abruptly and furiously as a form of punishment. “Ouch!” Lyla took a step back painfully. She frowned and stared at Mark Pattinson with displeasure. He was still staring at her with rage, “Lyla, this is your punishment!” Lyla frowned and noticed the burning fury in his eyes. As an adult woman, she still understood the hint given to her by Mark Pattinson. 'Anyhow, she was not sure what kind of person Mark Pattinson was. She did not dare to try understanding him because she did not think she could handle someone like him. Since this is not the only relationship she could have, she refused to give them a chance. She just wanted a plain life although she had not made up her mind to remain unmarried all her life. However, she never expected to meet someone like Mark Pattinson in her lifetime... "Mr. Pattinson, I..." Lyla looked at him and tried to say something, but she ended up saying nothing at all. Perhaps she felt guilty for him on behalf of Hansel and Gretel. Mark Pattinson could not help himself from gazing profoundly at her. Now he was not even sure what he wanted. Even though he knew she had kids now, he still could not forget her. She was like a drug. Though he wished to quit it, he could not give it up as the withdrawal was painful... He stepped forward and held her in his arms. His breathing was a bit heavy, but his expression looked even more painful, “Lyla, what should I do with you?” Lyla felt uncomfortable when she saw him behaving like that, but she remained silent and did not speak. “What if you become my woman? I could act as if nothing had ever happened. Nothing ever happened, and I could give you what you want!” Mark Pattinson uttered. God only knew how much courage he took to say these words. Lyla misunderstood his last sentence. Her brows furrowed together, and she raised her eyes to look at him, “What do you mean?” Mark Pattinson did not answer but buried his head in her neck. “Give me some time, I will soon be able to accept it!” he said. That sentence struck Lyla’s heart inexplicably. 'Mark Pattinson was a proud man. Although Lyla did not know much about him, how would he accept a woman with kids? ‘Although the kids were his, he does not know now...’ As she thought about that, Lyla’s heart became heavy and she did not know what to say. Mark Pattinson was a scary man. ‘You do not know what he is thinking in his mind.’ ‘Moreover, you do not know what kind of things he will do.’ The situation was getting increasingly out of hand for Lyla. She lowered her gaze and covered her slender eyelashes. She said faintly, “I’m sorry...” Sorry? Mark Pattinson looked at her with his deep gaze, “What do you mean?” Lyla did not know what to say, “Mr. Pattinson, we are not compatible...” Mark Pattinson's brow furrowed deeper. 'What else could she be thinking when he did not mind her past.' “I... I already have someone in my heart, sorry!” she said. At that moment, Mark Pattinson almost went crazy. Of course, ‘the someone in my heart’ was completely made up by Lyla. The ‘someone’ did not exist, and it was used as a means to refuse Mark Pattinson. But Mark Pattinson took it seriously. He gazed at her with so much fury. Only God knew how much courage he needed not to strangle her. With his clenched fists, his blue veins were visible, “Go...” he said. Lyla raised her eyes and glanced at him. Both of his eyes were scarlet red, and she could see that he was trying his best to endure something. She left without saying anything. As he looked at her back, Mark Pattinson's face turned indescribably angry. In the next second, he slammed a fist against a wall... This move of him attracted a lot of attention, but Mark Pattinson stood there with a gloomy expression on his face. At that moment, his cell phone rang. After it rang for a long time, he picked it up and answered, “Hey...” his voice sounded extremely unpleasant. “Is this Mark Pattinson?” "You are?" He asked curiously because the voice on the other side of the phone came from a kid. "Is my mom with you?" Hansel asked. Mark Pattinson frowned. All he could think of was Lyla, but he still asked, “Who are you anyway?” “Lyla is my mom. Tell me that she is with you now. She is in a very dangerous situation now!” Hansel said nervously. Mark Pattinson frowned. He had not expected Lyla's kid to call him. “What kind of danger? She has left!” ‘Has left?’ After hearing these two words, Hansel's heartbeat raced as if it was going to jump off his chest. “Mark Pattinson, you should go find my mummy right now. Her life is in danger, someone wants to kill her!” Hansel held the phone and shouted. Hansel's agitated voice made Mark Pattinson believe him. “Who?” “I don’t know who it is. You must go find her right now, and I will be there soon!” Hansel said. “Okay!” Mark Pattinson did not stop to think and hung up the phone. When he raised his gaze and looked into the distance, Lyla's figure was already gone. ‘Damn it!’ He did not care about other things, so he got into the car and ran after her. …… And on the other side. Lyla walked along the road pavement. All those words Mark Pattinson had said to her, as well as his expressions were flashing up scene by scene in her mind... As she thought of this, she could not help but to take a deep breath. When she raised her gaze to look forth, she had to admit that Mark Pattinson's words did shock her heart. ‘It was an unprecedented shock. ‘But… ‘It remained just a shock.’ Although she was also moved, she knew very well that they were not suitable for each other. Therefore, she would rather not start their relationship at all. However, she not only felt guilty for Mark Pattinson, but also the two young ones at home. She had always hoped they could be together. Although she thought about that, she changed her mind after the incident of Kathleen Turner... Kathleen Turner had conceived his child and she did not want Mark Pattinson to know about their existence. So, she had to be selfish this time! As the thought ran across her mind, she was more relaxed. She wanted to take a taxi back home. Suddenly she found that she was walking beside an idle road. There were no cars and not even the sign of a single person. Lyla sighed. Nothing good could happen once she was with Mark Pattinson. Now she could not even get a taxi. While she was occupied with her thoughts, a car was coming towards her from afar. The lights were too bright that she could not see clearly. She hesitated and automatically reached out to block the light with her hands. However, at that instant, the speed of the car accelerated all of a sudden, and it drove directly towards Lyla... Lyla watched that coming and sensed a bad omen in her heart. The speed of the car was so fast as if it was going to run her to death. When the car was about to hit her, Lyla turned her head and ran away without saying a word. She was running towards the place where a car could not get in. The speed of the car was very fast. After Lyla ran away, the car braked. The sound of the brake was very unpleasant to the ears. Lyla took out her cell phone while running. 'Damn it, there was no battery in her cell phone at this time.' However, at this moment, someone got off from the car and held a gun in his hand. He aimed the gun at Lyla's back... “Bang”… Mark Pattinson was looking for Lyla as he drove his car. When he heard the gunshot, he felt a wrench in his heart. Lyla! He was calling out this name from his heart! In the next second, he sped up and drove onward. ‘Lyla, you cannot get into trouble, you cannot! ‘Don't you dare get yourself into trouble!’ When he thought of this, he was driving his car, without even noticing that his hands were shaking... It was a panic, a panic from the bottom of his heart. Piers Brion and Hansel had also arrived nearby. The sound of the gunshot was not loud, and that shook Hansel's heart fiercely. Mummy! Hansel’s heart was indescribably nervous. “Hurry up!" he shouted. Piers Brion glanced at him without saying anything. He increased the speed of the car as fast as he could and drove towards that direction. … The shot did not hit Lyla. As she continued to run onward, Mark Pattinson drove over and saw her from a distance. “Lyla!” he shouted. When she heard the shouting, Lyla raised her eyes. When she saw Mark Pattinson, she was taken aback. She was touched when she saw him this time. When she was about to say anything, she only heard another bang... Lyla's body trembled. Her sight on Mark Pattinson's began to get blurry... Mark Pattinson was originally feeling lucky that she was okay. But after the shot, her body slipped... just in front of his eyes. “Lyla!” His eyes widened as he shouted. He immediately ran over and hugged her. At that time, he realized that his hands were full of blood, while Lyla had closed her eyes. He was shocked to look at the blood. It felt even crazier than him getting hit by a bullet. His pupils were slowly enlarging and his rage was burning in his eyes. Suddenly he had an urge to destroy the whole world out of the rage. Mark Pattinson fetched his gun when he saw the man who opened fire about to leave. He directly raised the gun and fired a shot at the man with a 'bang'. The target was hit in one shot.
