Chapter 1598 Having Her By His Side
If the bullet had hit Susanne’s heart, no one, not even the best surgeons, would be able to save her.
Luckily, the bullet had missed.
As for Linda and the burly man, after they made their escape, they took a cab and headed for the
airport where the Duke had a private jet parked there.
As soon as they arrived, they saw people searching for them. In the spur of the moment, the burly man
pushed Linda against the wall and lowered his head, covering her mouth with his.
Linda was furious at his action. That was her first kiss, after all. In retaliation, she bit down on his lips
harshly. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
‘‘Are you out of your mind, Mark?’‘
Seeing Linda’s reaction, Mark hurriedly explained in a soft voice, ‘‘Desperate time calls for desperate
measures.’‘
After that, they saw a few people coming toward them. Mark immediately planted his lips on Linda’s
again. Initially, he was only doing so to avoid getting noticed by their pursuers, but after having a taste
of Linda’s sweet lips, he could not help wanting more. As such, he kissed Linda forcefully, suckling at
her sweet lips. This was the first time Linda had been kissed, and he was kissing her very passionately.
Nonetheless, reason prevailed, and after seeing that their pursuers had left, she pushed Mark away
and went to the private jet sullenly.
Knowing that Linda was angry, Mark followed behind her in silence.
In truth, he had fallen in love with Linda a long time ago. However, she had always been distant and
aloof. Thus, he could only admire her from a distance, not daring to profess his love. One could only
imagine how overjoyed he felt when the Duke sent him to Chanaea to back up Linda on a mission.
Earlier, he could have avoided their pursuers in some other way, but for some reason, the first thing he
could think of was to lean forward and kiss her. Looking at Linda who was walking in front of him now,
he smiled. He had no regrets about what happened just now and was glad he took the opportunity to
kiss her.
The two showed the necessary documents to the pilot, and the three soon boarded the plane.
In the cabin, because Linda did not want to sit with Mark, the two could only sit separately with one in
the front and one in the back. After the plane took off, Mark would look at Linda from time to time, and
when he thought of the disgust in her eyes, sadness welled up within him.
Linda took out her phone and looked at the man on the screensaver. Her heart was full of sorrow. Will
he still be mine when I get back? Who is the woman who has replaced me in his office?
As these thoughts went through her mind, her countenance turned colder and colder.
No matter who it was, she would definitely take the Duke back. She wanted him to know that she was
the woman who fitted him best.
Five hours later, the two got off the plane. Mark wanted to go with her to the company to meet the
Duke, but Linda refused. Mark took a long gaze at her seated inside the cab before he turned around
and got into another one.
On the way, Linda’s lips curved slightly into a smile. She could not wait to tell him how much she
missed him and be together with him again.
She recalled Mark’s kiss at the airport. She had discovered how good a kiss felt and she wished that
the Duke would treat her the way Mark had treated her.
Back at the company, Linda and Mark entered the Duke’s office together. When he was done reporting
the incident, Mark left. Then, Linda walked up to the man.
‘‘Duke…’‘ Linda looked at the man in front of her with a love-struck expression and crouched down.
Seeing that he did not stop her, she got up and straddled his lap.
After Mark left, he remembered something and went to the office again. However, when he reached the
door, he saw a scene that broke his heart, and he was instantly rendered motionless on the spot.
