Seeing that, Susan was overjoyed. Encouraged by this, she wanted to say something else.
But before she could say anything, Timothy glanced at her, upset.
“Susan, I don’t blame you for not believing that I love you, and I will prove it to you for the rest of my life.”
Susan didn’t know how to reply.
It seemed her effort to persuade him was in vain.
Her expression turned cold, and she ignored him.
It was getting darker.
Timothy collected some dried branches and lit them up.
It was so cold in winter that they probably would die in coldness without fire.
However, even though there was a bonfire, Susan still felt very cold.
Timothy hesitated for a moment and wanted to get closer.
“Stay there,” Susan said expressionlessly. “Don’t come over.”
“Susan, it’s so cold. I’m afraid that you will catch a cold. I just want to sit closer so that we can warm each other,” Timothy explained.
“No need. I would rather die than stay close to you,” Susan said in a firm tone.
She looked determined and there was no room for negotiation.
Timothy could only sit where he was.
un on persuading her.
However, he did not give up
“I’ve thought about what you just said now. But it’s not like what you thought. I already fell in love with.you back then. It’s just that you were always by my side as if you would never leave me, which made me feel I could always get you back as long as I wanted to….
While speaking, he suddenly noticed that Susan was staring behind him with narrowed eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Timothy looked back in confusion.
Then, his eyes narrowed as well.

While they were not paying attention, some wild wolves came behind them, looking at them covetously.
Because of the fire, the wolves didn’t move closer but just walked around them.
“Don’t be scared, Susan. I’ll protect you,” Timothy said firmly, suppressing his fear.
Susan sneered and replied, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been stuck here.”
Timothy knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not say anything.
He hurriedly picked up all the nearby fallen branches and threw them into the fire.
As long as the fire was still burning, the wolves wouldn’t dare approach.
But Timothy didn’t dare to go further to collect branches, while the branches near here would be soon used out.
Though there were just four wolves, these wild beasts could easily take down two adults who didn’t know any fighting skills.
These wolves‘ eyes glittered with green light in the dark.
They waited quietly. The moment the fire went out, they would pounce on their prey.
As time went by, the fire became smaller and smaller.
It seemed that the fire would go out soon.
The wolves became restless.
“Susan,” Timothy asked with a pale face while looking at her, “do you hate me?”
“Of course,” Susan replied without hesitation.
“I’m sorry.” Timothy said in a wry tone. “I didn’t expect this place to be so dangerous. I did all this just because I love.
you so much.”
Susan just sneered.
She couldn’t afford to be loved by such a man.
She could have been safe and sound, but now, she was stuck in a dangerous place because of this man.
In her eyes, it was the greatest humiliation in her life to die there with Timothy.
In the dim light of the fire, she was in a trance.
She wondered if Ben were there, she wouldn’t feel the same way.

Susan lowered her gaze with a mixture of feelings.
“Susan, you refused to leave with me because you found out about something, right?” Timothy suddenly asked.
“What do you mean?” Susan asked flatly.
Timothy pursed his lips and said hesitantly, “Did you find out that the news was fake back in the cafe?”
Susan glanced at him and said in a calm tone, “Timothy, you claimed that you knew my capabilities, but actually, you didn’t. You have always been looking down on me. I’m curious to know what made you think that I, a professional programmer, couldn’t tell that the shoddy app you made was fake?”
At first, Susan was indeed shocked by the fake news about Ben.
But soon, she realized that something was wrong.
The search results were the same and shown in the same order. If the topic were really that heated, how could
there be no new comments after such a long time?
For example…
She searched for ‘Jurassic dinosaurs“.
If it was a normal search app, then she would see some information about the dinosaurs.
However, she didn’t find anything in the app Timothy fabricated.
At that time, she realized that the news about Ben was fake.
Timothy had set up a trap to deceive her.
Back then, she didn’t know what Timothy was up to.
But she knew that since the two pieces of news were fake, the facts were probably the opposite.
Therefore, she decided to find Ben and get to the bottom of it no matter what.
But she didn’t expect that Timothy would be as crazy as to kidnap her.
As a result, she caused herself to be in danger.
The more Susan thought about it, the more annoyed she felt.
If she could go back in time to when she just met Timothy that day, she would slap him in the face and leave.
Then, what happened later wouldn’t have happened.

“So, you knew from the start that I was lying to you.” Timothy smiled bitterly. “Do you think I’m despicable?”

Susan glanced at him and said, “Yes. Despicable, that’s what
Timothy lowered his head and said slowly, “Ben didn’t marry Monica.”
Susan’s eyelids twitched. “I know.”
“He didn’t accuse you of stealing his business information, Timothy continued.
“I know,” said Susan calmly.
Timothy looked up at her and said, “I don’t know the details, but Susan, you have to be careful of Carl. He may

“I know.” Susan was as calm as ever.
She had found that Carl was acting weird at Charlie’s birthday party.
Later, Carl claimed that Susan quarreled with Penelope to prove that Susan had the motivation to commit the
crime.

She never had any expectations for the Millers.

Timothy swallowed. It took him a long while to say, “Ben… actually loves you very much. He had been looking for you for three months since you were missing.”
Susan’s heart skipped a beat.
“There probably is some misunderstanding between the two of you,” Timothy said softly. “If you see him again, you could ask him about it and clear things up.”
Frowning, Susan looked at Timothy suspiciously.
“Why did he say all this to me?
“Did he suddenly feel guilty for what he did?” Susan wondered.
Susan didn’t trust him.
Timothy’s heart ached when he saw her alert eyes. He slowly rose to his feet.
The wolves also stood this place.

“What do you want to do?” Susan looked at him.

“Like I said, I’ll protect you,” Timothy replied tenderly. “Later, I will run to the wolves, and you run in the opposite direction with a torch. The wolves fear fire, so they would chase after me. Go down the mountain along this way. and you will get out of this place. Susan, you said that I didn’t love you, and I didn’t know how to deny it. But I’m willing to prove that I could die for you.”
Susan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Timothy smiled at her and then ran toward the wolves with a knife.
As he expected, the wolves chased after him.
Susan was stunned by what he did.
Timothy’s last sentence surfaced in her mind.
“I’m willing to prove that I could die for you.”
Strong emotions flashed across her eyes.
Then, she picked up the torch with trembling hands and walked towards the wolves.
Susan waved the torch at the wolves, and they hesitated for a moment before dispersing.
Without any expression on her face, Susan walked up to Timothy.”
At this moment, Timothy looked awkward.
He looked at Susan in surprise. “Susan?”
“Timothy, I ended up like this because of
you, so I had a reason to hate you. If you save me at the cost of your life, I would owe you a lot. But I don’t want to owe you anything. I just hope that if we can get out of here alive, we will have nothing to do with each other.”
An upset look appeared in Timothy’s bright eyes.
Looking at the last torch they had, he said with a wry smile, “But I’m afraid that we can’t survive this time. You shouldn’t have come over.”
Susan ignored his words and said calmly, “I made quite a bit of noise in the car..The locals probably have called the police. If they were fast, they would go up the mountain to look for us. So, as long as we could attract their attention, we still have a chance of survival.”
Timothy had never seen her so calm and fearless before.
His heart beat faster than ever.
“This is who she really is, isn’t it?” he wondered.

She was different from what he imagined her to be.
Timothy used to think that Susan was a fragile, kind, and naive girl from a rich family.
However, she wasn’t; instead, she was tough and cold–hearted and experienced a lot.
She had never been a fragile woman who needed protection. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“This is… what she is like,” Timothy thought with a sigh.
Instead of feeling disappointed, he felt very happy.
