Chapter 88 Protect Her
After playing for a few hours, they stretched themselves and went to the back garden.
In the back garden, there was a large man-made lake.
Hellen walked around a few times. In the natural environment, her mood became brighter.
Hans kept a distance from her while Xeno and Charles walked far behind.
Taylor was living in the old house. She had already gotten tired of the scenery behind the backyard. Consequently, she walked beside them lazily.
“Xeno, I can’t walk anymore. Tell my brother later that I’m going back to my room.”
Xeno replied and looked at Taylor with a face full of gossip. “Taylor, did your brother tell you about his relationship with Hellen now?”
Taylor gritted her teeth and said, “My brother said children should mind their own business and let me study hard!”
Charles stood by the side and stared at the backs of those two people.
“Then do you like Natalie or Hellen?”
“Natalie?” Taylor snorted, “Who does she think she is?”
Charles smiled. “Then that means you like Hellen.”
Taylor did not deny it. Her small face tensed up as she snorted.
Charles and Xeno grew up together with Hans. Taylor could be considered half a younger sister of the two of them and understood her proud personality very well.
“I see that your brother intends to marry Hellen back. You can think of a way to help him.”
Taylor’s beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at the two figures in front of her.
She remembered that a wild boar had come down from the mountain some time ago and ruined a part of the flowerbed.
The protective net around the old house lasted for a long time. Grandma wanted to change the protective net again, and dig a gully around the back garden.
Recently, only the staff were allowed to step into that place.
After thinking about it, Taylor smiled and said, “Xeno, Charles, let’s go back. Don’t be a third wheel here for my brother!”
Hellen and Hans walked in silence.
The path was quiet and the scenery was pleasant.
After passing through a moon gate, Hellen came to a halt.
They were already at the foot of the mountain. She looked up at the mountain and said, “This mountain is so beautiful. It’s a pity that it’s already afternoon.” Otherwise, she would have climbed up the mountain to have a look.
Hans walked up to her and said, “There is a small house on the mountain. If you go up now, you can see the sunset. There is a cable car at the foot of the mountain that you can use to go up.”
Hellen thought for a moment, then rubbed her lower abdomen.
For the sake of the baby’s safety, forget it.
Both of them were just about to turn back when Hellen pounced forward!
Hans held her firmly and pulled her into his arms.
Hellen was protected by Hans. Her face was pressed against Hans’ chest, and she could hear the man’s strong heartbeat.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She took a few seconds to calm down. “Thank you.”
Hans smiled faintly and said, “You should be careful.”
“There’s something inside the grass.” Hellen frowned and pushed aside the grass.
In the grass, there was a beast hunter.
Hellen,”…”
“Hans, are your family afraid of thieves? Why are they placing such dangerous things in the garden?”
Earlier, when she was strolling around, she had not taken the small path. At present, she had already walked deep into a stretch of lawn. It was likely that it was very far away from the house. The lawn had not been maintained for a long time and was taller than her ankles.
Hans frowned and said, “This is a beast-hunting trap. I don’t know if there’s more.”
Hellen looked not too far away. The nearest street was still a few hundred meters away.
She was confused. “What should we do now? Step by step?”
“Come here. Don’t move.”
“What’s the matter?” Hellen was pulled in front of Hans.
Before she could react, Hans bent down slightly and picked her up steadily with one hand.
Hellen’s heart violently thumped. She was startled, struggling to get down. “I don’t need you to hold me…”
“Be careful. I’ll put you down when we get to the roadside.” Hans’ voice was cold and his expression was normal.
Hellen felt embarrassed for some reason. This hug wasn’t like a princess hug. It was like he was holding a baby, making her sit in one of his arms.
“Your arm strength is not bad.” She coughed lightly and found a topic to talk about.
Hans raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, “Yes, I exercise often.”
Hellen fell silent.
Hans held her in his arms and scanned the grass with a sharp gaze.
The grass wasn’t all that tall, but if one looked carefully, one could still see the beast-hunting trap between the gaps.
It was not until he arrived at the roadside that he put her down steadily.
Hellen could not stay calm any longer as she gave an embarrassed smile, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
When the two of them returned to the house, Granny Grant was already up. She was talking to Xeno and Charles in the living room. Taylor was also sitting by the side.
Xeno, the playboy of Hail City, was very talkative in front of Granny Grant. And Granny Grant very liked him.
Charles sat to the side with a warm and gentle appearance, like a noble young master.
When Granny Grant saw that Hellen and Hans had returned, she quickly waved her hand.
“Hellen, come, come over here.”
“Granny Grant.” Hellen said obediently.
Granny Grant was in a good mood when she heard that Hans and Hellen were alone in the back garden. She was happier when her eyes swept over Hans’ shirt.
“You talk, you talk, I’ll go to the kitchen.” His footsteps became lighter.
Hans sat down, and Xeno’s and Charles’s eyes also fell on his chest.
Only then did Hellen realize that something was wrong. She looked in Hans’ direction and saw a red lipstick mark on his chest.
It must have been accidentally printed by her.
Hellen fell silent.
Charles smiled faintly, but Xeno drew closer to Hans and said in a low voice, “Hans, what’s wrong with your chest? Does Miss Jovano want to do something with you?”
After that, Xeno heard the crisp sound of bones cracking.
Hellen twisted her wrist.
Xeno sat upright quietly like a man of honor.
Hans’ expression was indifferent as if he disdained to associate with Xeno.
While they were talking, Taylor looked at the time and said, “My mother is coming back soon…”
As she spoke, she glanced at Hellen.
Lady Grant hated Hellen. This was something all the members of the Grant family knew.
Previously, she disliked bad luck of Hellen and thought that Hellen had no family background and was not worthy of her son.
When Hellen heard Taylor’s words, she frowned slightly as well.
Lady Grant annoyed her and she did not like Lady Grant either.
However, she had promised to have dinner at the old house in the evening.
She let out a low sigh.
Immediately, Hans said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, no one will make things difficult for you.”
Hellen raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m not afraid of anyone making things difficult for me.”
Hans stared at Hellen. She was on guard against him and disliked him.
Don’t rush. I had to take it slow.
Hans’ dark eyes flickered slightly as he pondered.
