Chapter 1832

Daisie choked on her own words and entered the room. “Do you have eyes behind your head?”

She was hiding in the hallway and behind the door, yet she was still discovered.

Nollace took her into his arms. “Your shadow betrayed you.”

Daisie was rendered speechless.

‘What can I do even if I‘m not reconciled to this outcome? I can‘t argue with that.‘

“Will Colton and Freyja be okay?”

Nollace carried her to the couch and sat her on his thigh. “Given Colton‘s vigilance and cleverness, he
won‘t put themselves in danger.”

“I know...” Daisie stopped abruptly.

Nollace tucked her long hair behind her ears with his fingertips.“ We‘re their targets. We‘re the ones who
are in the most danger. Don‘t you worry about yourself?”

Daisie‘s gaze shifted away. “Aren‘t you here?”

He kissed her at the corner of her eye and cheeks, and his smile intensified. “Yes, as long as I‘m here, I‘ll
definitely protect you at the cost of my life.”

She covered his lips with her palm. “Don‘t jinx it! You‘re not allowed to say anything about risking your life
ever again.”

Nollace held the back of her hand, lowered his head, kissed her, and gave off a faint smile. “Okay.”



In the middle of the night, the two men downstairs had been keeping watch for a long time, but they had
not seen their targets returning to their room.

They felt that something was not right.

The tattooed man called their boss. “Bro, they haven‘t come back. Have we been deceived?”

The man leading the three remained silent on the other end of the phone call. He then asked after a long
pause. “Are you sure? Did you miss anyone?”

“We‘ve been watching closely at anyone that‘s passed by downstairs, and we‘ve focused on everyone
who came in and went out of this place. It‘s impossible for us to have missed something.”

The other man went to the front desk and asked the receptionists some questions. After that, he came
out, took out a pack of cigarettes, and tore open the packet. “Could they‘ve been hiding in the room?”

The tattooed man ended the call with a fierce glare. “Let‘s go up.”

In the room…

Freyja and Colton were sitting on the folding chairs on the balcony.

Colton took a glance at his phone–the battery was already critically low.

They could not insert the room card for electricity, so there was no way to charge it.

He turned to look at Freyja and asked, “What about your phone?”

Freyja lay back in the chair and did not feel like moving a muscle as she was weak. “It shut down
automatically.”



Just as Colton was about to say something, he heard someone swiping the room card against the card
reader outside of the room.

Two men broke into the room, inserted the room card into the card reader for electricity, and the room
brightened up instantly.

But the room was empty.

After checking the bedroom, the man asked, “Their luggage is all still here. Did we guess wrong? Have
they really not come back?”

‘If they were here, there‘s no way that they wouldn‘t have plugged their card in for the electricity.‘

The tattooed man‘s gaze landed on some snack packages on the table and the open French windows.
He clenched the gun underneath his clothes and walked to the balcony without hesitation.

‘This is the fifth floor. There‘s no way they‘ve escaped by jumping out of the window.’

He turned to look at the neighbor‘s balcony.

The French windows next door were closed, and the screen was down, so even the light from a flashlight
could not illuminate the inside for a better view.

Immediately afterward, a faint moan came from the room next door.

The tattooed man knew what was going on as soon as he heard the voice.

He gnashed his teeth and said to the man behind him, “Let‘s go.”

After confirming that the men had left, Colton covered Freyja‘s mouth and lowered his voice. “Stop
moaning.”



‘Just how shameless can she be? She actually has the guts to let off such a noise when I‘m around.’

The point was that he was on the brink of losing control.

The two hid behind the curtains in an extremely narrow space, and the atmosphere was inexplicably
intimate.

The two stayed in the dark, but a gleam of light penetrated through the window screen, so they could see
each other indistinctly

Freyja could not see Colton‘s expression clearly, so she jerked his hand away and said triumphantly, “But
I’m the one who had to step up during such a critical moment.”

‘It‘ll be a waste of my talent if I don‘t become a voice actress.‘

Colton tugged at his collar, feeling inexplicably hot and irritable, and his facial outline stiffened. “Aren‘t
you ashamed of yourself?”
