Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Chapter 687: Don’t Be Afraid



The intimate touch made his cheeks red.

He unconsciously tried to withdraw his finger, but when he saw her clear eyes, his heart was softened somehow, so he didn’t stop her.

Holding hands, they went together to look for patrolmen nearby.

Alexander had expected that when he found a patrolman, he would hand Heather over to the patrolman, who would then help her contact her parents.

It was just that… he felt very guilty at the thought that Heather believed he was eloping with her.

He didn’t know if Heather would be angry with him after knowing the truth.

“Alex, where’s the policeman?” Heather asked curiously.

“He’s probably on patrol,” Alexander coaxed her. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s look for him nearby.”

Heather nodded. Alexander stood on the roadside and was ready to take her to cross the road.

Suddenly, a minivan stopped in front of them, and several burly men rushed out of it!

Alexander’s pupils instantly shrank as an alarm went off in his mind. The next moment, he took Heather by the hand and turned around to run!

“Help, help…” Before he could finish the sentence, Alexander felt a burly man had picked him up. His and Heather’s tightly held hands were forcibly pulled apart.

The burly man held out his hand to cover Alexander’s mouth!

Alexander bit hard at his hand, and the man was so painful that he had to let him go. Alexander leaped nimbly out from his arms!

Alexander was about to run away, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Heather’s tiny body had been picked up. Her mouth was being covered, so she could only let out a low cry. Then she was helplessly taken to the van!

Alexander’s fingers tightened, and his eyes flashed with a touch of concern. His feet, which had just been ready to run, seemed to be nailed to the ground.

The next moment, the burly man behind caught up with him, picked him up, and slapped him hard in the face!

“You bastard! You actually bit me. Are you a crazy dog?” Then, swearing, the burly man put him in the van. Seeing Alexander suddenly became quiet, the man thought this boy was frightened and didn’t think much of it.

The two little kids were crammed into the back of the van.

“Wah-wah…” Heather was aggrieved, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears.

“Don’t be afraid.” Alexander took her little hand in his.

“Son of a bitch!” A man wearing a peaked cap kicked Alexander in the body, venting his anger. “You destroyed my plan! But now you’re in my hands!”

The man wearing a peaked cap was exactly the man who had just tried to deceive Heather.

Alexander’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

The man wearing a peaked cap didn’t notice him. Instead, he stared at Heather with interest and reached for her backpack.

“Don’t touch it.” Heather clutched the backpack with an aggrieved face. It was full of her cherished treasures in it!

“Forget it. What else can a girl put in it except for toys? So don’t make trouble,” a man next to him persuaded.

The man wearing a peaked cap thought for a while before loosening his grip.

Heather hugged her backpack more tightly.

Soon the two kids were taken to a shabby rented house in the suburbs. After that, the men all left, leaving only one burly man to guard them and prevent them from escaping.

“Don’t be afraid, Heather,” Alexander comforted her in a low voice.

“I’m not afraid!” Her eyes looked bright as she said, “Alex, I feel like we’re eloping right now!”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“…” Alexander suddenly found he had thought too much. Heather seemed a little insensitive. She had just been afraid, but now she was excited. Besides, could kidnapping be considered to be the same as elopement?

“Alex, thank you,” Heather said suddenly.

“For what?” Alexander was confused.

“Alex, you had a chance to escape, didn’t you?” She grabbed his fingers and blinked as she said, “So it was because you wanted to save me that you gave those men a chance to catch you, wasn’t it?”

Alexander’s heart sank.

He did have a chance to escape, but the men looked very heartless. If he escaped, Heather would be in great danger, so he slowed down to allow them to catch him deliberately. He didn’t expect Heather to see it through.

“You were wrong…” His cheeks flushed.

“My eyes are very sharp. I wasn’t wrong!” she said unconvinced. “My parents and my brother know I have sharp eyes!”

Her stomach rumbled immediately after speaking.

She felt a little embarrassed.

“Are you hungry?” he asked.

She nodded shyly. “… Mm.”

“I’ll ask them if they can give you something to eat,” he said.

They were kept in a room by the kidnappers. There was almost nothing in the room except for a shabby bed.

Alexander went to the door and slapped it hard. “Is somebody here?”

“What are you doing?” the man guarding outside impatiently asked.

“We’re hungry. Please give us something to eat,” Alexander replied.

The man was delighted. “You? You actually want something to eat? There’s nothing for you!”

Alexander spoke calmly, “Don’t you guys bring us here to get a good price?”

The man’s heart sank. It seemed that the little boy was not easy to fool.

He sneered. “Even so, what can you do?”

“Two clean, healthy children with ruddy cheeks are more expensive than two thin, sick children, aren’t they?” Alexander said calmly.

The man felt his words sounded reasonable, “Okay, wait.”

Soon he opened the door slightly and threw in two cold loaves of bread.

“Nothing else?” Alexander asked.

“What else do you want? In your dreams! Who do you think you are?!” the man sarcastically said.

Alexander sighed. Two cold loaves of bread were better than nothing. Besides, the bread looked clean. They wouldn’t get sick after eating it.

“How about settling for them, Heather?”

He showed her the bread as he asked.

“I’m not going to eat…” Her stomach rumbled again before she could finish the sentence.

“Look, your stomach is rumbling again. You can’t go hungry!” he coaxed softly.

He usually hated girls who were fussy and capricious, but when he faced Heather, he found that he didn’t hate her. Instead, he wanted to please her.
