Chapter 127 - 127. Trying To Escape (2)

"I can do anything for you later, please take us away from here," Naila said again when she saw the four men who had chased her were now moving back down the sidewalk, towards her place.

Car horns rang out, perhaps because the black sports car was blocking the path of several drivers.

At the same time, the man stepped on the gas leaving four men who were very close to his car.

Naila looked back until the four men disappeared from her sight, then she could feel calm. She breathed a sigh of relief as she slowly breathed in.

"Dave thirsty?" Naila asked the boy who was on her lap.

Who was spoken to just nodded, his breath sounded still ragged, sweat dripping profusely on his forehead?

"Don't give him water, let his breathing return to normal," said the man who suddenly grabbed the bottled water that Naila took out from her bag.

"Very dangerous," he added.

"Ah, sorry," said Naila, perhaps because of what had just happened, she was negligent about what could and could not be done.

"Thank you for helping us," said Naila, turning to the man with one hand rubbing Dave's forehead which was already very wet.

The man just nodded, his eyes occasionally glanced at the little boy who was on Naila's lap.

"What happened?"

"I didn't save a child kidnapper did I?" he added in a slightly mocking voice.

"Ha? Kidnapper?"

"I'm not what you think, sir," Naila said with a frown.

"Then, where is the mother of the child? And why are you with him?" asked the man again.

Naila's forehead reflex wrinkled, how could the person know? This was the first time they had met.

"H-how did you know?" asked Naila in surprise, there's no way she entered a car belonging to one of Brian's bodyguards right? The girl's expression suddenly changed and the calm feeling she had just gained was disturbed again.

"I know his mother," said the man again, glancing at Naila.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not someone you should be wary of," he added when he felt that the girl was staring at him intently.

Hearing the man's words, Naila instantly froze, frozen in place, trying to digest the words of the man next to her, how did he get to meet a man that Anna knew?

Was it a coincidence or was it her luck today?

"Introduce me Leo, Miss," the man said again with a smile on his lips.

Naila didn't respond, she had never heard Anna tell about a friend by the name of Leo, or was she deliberately not telling her?

"I'm talking to you, miss."

"You didn't kidnap my friend's son, did you?"

"My car could take you to the police station, Miss," he added.

"NO, DON'T DO IT," Naila said immediately in a rising voice.

"Ah, sorry," she added.

Hearing the girl's response, Leo smiled, from a distance before the girl next to him ran into the middle of the road, he had seen the boy's presence, at first he ignored him because he felt that his vision might be problematic, but from the moment the child got into his car and heard the boy's name, he had become very sure that his eyesight was not a problem, and indeed, that the child was Dave, Anna's son.

He never expected to meet the boy in this condition, but unfortunately, Dave is not with his mother.

"You haven't answered my question, Miss," Leo reminded again.

"Also, where do you want to take the child?"

"Who was that?"

"Why are they after you?"

"And again, how can that child be with you?" the man asked.

Naila who heard the barrage of questions directed at her just sighed harshly.

"Okay, first I'm sorry for stopping your car suddenly," said Naila starting.

"Secondly, I want to emphasize that I am not a kidnapper."

"And as for what happened to us earlier, I don't think I need to explain it to you. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't mind other people's business?" she added.

The way the two of them interacted was very informal for a person who was meeting for the first time.

Leo chuckled "I could have brought you back to those guys, Miss. Don't forget where you are now, didn't you say before that you would do anything for me?" Leo replied, his gaze returned to focus on the highway in front of him.

Naila rolled her eyes, "They want to kidnap this child," Naila answered lying.

"Then where's his mother?"

"I do not know."

"Tsk, you lied, Miss."

"Okay, okay. I'll tell you on one condition," said Naila who suddenly got a brilliant idea.

Leo chuckled "I already gave you a ride, but still demanding. All right, tell me what is it?"

"Give us a lift at your house."

"Huh?"

"Give us a ride for a while and I'll tell you what happened," Naila repeated.

"You're Anna's friend, right? If so, then you should have helped us," she added, sounding more demanding. Let's just say that her veins of shame had been broken for saying such things to a man she had just met.

"Aren't you afraid of being under the same roof with a normal man, Miss?" Leo asked.

"I can change at night," he added.

Naila's reflex turned, "Change? What did you turn into? A wolf? Vampire? It doesn't matter, as long as you don't pounce on me."

Leo laughed loudly at the girl's response.

"What's your name?" Leo asked still with a lingering laugh.

"Are you attracted to me? Naturally, I'm used to it. You don't have to tease me."

Leo laughed again, "So what's your name?" he repeated.

"Naila."

"Okay, Naila. So where are you taking my friend's child?" Leo asked.

"Wouldn't you like to give me a lift at your house?" replied Naila frontal.

"But I'm already married, in my house, there are four wives. Plus you, it'll be five later, no problem?"

"No need. I can find lodging myself. Thanks for the help."

Leo laughed, his gaze then occasionally turned to the little boy who was in Naila's lap.

"Looks like he's really tired," Leo said when he watched the boy fall asleep.

Hearing that, Naila lowered her gaze, instantly a smile formed on her lips.

"I'm sorry, honey," she mumbled as she gently stroked Dave's head.

Leo only glanced briefly then returned to the wheel, looking like he was about to change course this time. His initial intention to visit Devan to relieve his boredom seemed to have to be undone. For it was impossible to take the boy to his cousin. Not to mention that the woman he was with looked very tired, Leo didn't know what had happened to them, but the only thing that mattered now was to take them to rest.

Even though he doesn't have any relationship with Anna or the two figures who are with him, but as a normal human being, he can't bear to let Dave and Naila just like that.
