His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1368 Stomachache

Cassie's words shocked Cora. 'Is Cassie out of her mind? These people aren't our friends. Why would

she invite them to have some food?' she wondered.

The men dressed in black were puzzled by Cassie's reaction. Their leader scratched his head in

confusion and displayed a more friendlier expression on his face. "You seem like a clever girl. I think

you already know that we've been sent here to bring you with us. If you co-operate without any

resistance, we will be sure to be polite to you."

Cassie immediately realized that they couldn't be persuaded to change their minds, so she needed to

buy some time. All of a sudden, she pressed her hands against her belly and winced as a look of abject

pain contorted her delicate features.

Cora's eyes widened in horror and she asked, "Cassie, are you feeling okay? Do you have a

stomachache?"

Cassie nodded her head with great desperation. "Perhaps I ate something bad. I don't think I can eat

anymore. My stomach hurts so much. I feel terrible."

"Do you want to go to the toilet?" asked Cora, expressing concern.

Cassie gave her the thumbs-up even though she knew that Cora was less likely to understand what

she really meant.

"Oh my god! I can't take it anymore. Where is the toilet? Quickly, where?" Cassie looked at those men

with a wide-eyed grimace.

They all froze at her critical behavior, fearing the worst.

They were hired to take her away from there even without her consent, if need be. Since she was just a

delicate woman, their numbers assured them that it wouldn't take much effort on their part to catch her

if she tried something fishy. With that in mind, the leader began to eye her from head to toe and finally

concluded that apart from losing a bit of time, they really didn't have to worry about this woman at all.

"Okay, there's the toilet. You can go, but you have to leave your bag with us," said the man pointing his

finger at her handbag.

Cassie was glad to see that they had fallen for her trap and gladly handed over her bag to them without

hesitation.

"Cora, wait here for me. Don't go anywhere and don't try anything reckless," Cassie whispered to Cora.

Cora nodded her head slightly to indicate that she understood her.

Cassie ran to the toilet with her hands on her belly. On her way she saw Jordan hanging up the phone

which led her to believe that the police would soon arrive in no time.

All she had to do was wait patiently inside the toilet until the police came.

After watching Cassie get inside the toilet, Cora pretended to be frightened, whipping her head around

to look for her brother, Jordan.

Meanwhile, Jordan deliberately didn't make eye contact with her even though it was obvious that she

was afraid. He turned around and started walking in the opposite direction towards the kebab vendor.

Cora didn't understand why her brother behaved like this, but she hoped that he wouldn't take any

unnecessary risks. It was not like she doubted his abilities, but rather the fact that they were vastly

outnumbered by these suits.

Cora sat there anxiously biting her nails. She knew that Cassie went to the toilet to stall them, but there

was only one exit in the toilet. Where would she go?

Time passed slowly. Not only was Cora anxious now, but also those men were starting to lose their

patience as well.

"Why is that woman taking so long? Is something wrong with her? What will we say to Shawn?" a man

asked in a low voice.

The leader stood there pensively for a moment and said, "You! Go over there and check up on her."

His subordinate followed his orders and walked towards the toilet.

Her heart leaping into her throat, Cora crossed her fingers behind her back, while Jordan froze in his

place, nervously looking at them with anticipation.

Suddenly, the loud sound of sirens wailed across and the men looked at each other blankly.

The leader clenched his fists and yelled, "Damn it!"

"What should we do? Here comes the police!"

"Go!"

He no longer cared about Cora or his job as he dropped her bag to the floor and fled hastily.

After a few minutes, when the police arrived, they picked up the bag and handed it over to Cassie.

"Miss Wang, please check to see whether something is lost."

Cassie looked at the bag, checked it thoroughly and then shook her head.

"Sir, they weren't looking to rob my friend. It's not that simple. We want to find out the truth," said

Jordan.

The policeman nodded courteously and said, "Of course. Please come with us to the police station.

After taking your statements, we will file an official case."

Finally, Cassie and Cora breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the gate of the police station

Cassie and Cora walked out shoulder to shoulder while Jordan followed behind them.

Cora patted her chest and sighed, "Brother, you are so smart. I am glad you called the police in

advance. If it weren't for you, Cassie and I would be in a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Jordan looked at Cassie with a serious expression and said, "Have you offended

someone lately?"

Cassie felt embarrassed. The first person who came into her mind was Gamora's boyfriend. He was

the only one she might have offended. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Don't worry about it now. It could be an isolated incident. Just keep a low profile for a few days."

Cassie gave him a half-hearted smile.

Jordan, however, didn't believe her words. He stared at her deeply and said, "But I don't think that this

was an isolated incident. It can't be that simple. Cassie, if you're in trouble, you can tell me. I'll help

you."

His words moved Cassie. In truth, she did feel lonely and helpless and the person she needed the most

wasn't even there to accompany her.

'Nick, where are you now?' she wondered.

Cassie's helpless expression aroused Jordan's desire to protect her.

"Cassie!" Jordan stretched out his arms to give her a hug without a conscious thought. Smelling the

fragrance from Cassie, Jordan couldn't help but take a deep breath. As he opened his mouth to say

something, Cassie pushed him away.

"You... Let me go!" Cassie was in Jordan's arms and her heartbeat increased by the second.

Cora was so shocked by his brother's actions that she didn't know how to react.

"No!" Jordan asserted and hugged her more tightly.

In truth, Cassie found comfort and warmth in Jordan's embrace. However, there was an obstacle in

Cassie's heart. She was Nick's girlfriend now. How could she be with another man in the absence of

Nick?
