Rebirth: An Assassin's Revenge

When Alexander came back, he saw Luna sitting on the sofa fiddling with the television’s remote control.

Her pale face was carrying a stern expression without a smile. It seemed that she hadn’t even realized that he was home.

He removed his coat and gave it to Mrs. Niles. Alexander stood his ground and asked as he pointed his chin at Luna, “What’s with her?”

Mrs. Niles whispered as she covered her mouth with her hand, saying, “After you left, the madam has been like that. Albert and I have asked her twice, but she didn’t want to say anything.”

Alexander nodded and sat down right next to Luna. He asked, “Someone made you unhappy?”

She was still quite chirpy in the morning. It had only been a while and he felt that she had changed into another person?

Luna finally regained her senses after she heard Alexander’s voice. “You’re back?” She asked.

Alexander gave her a faint smile and said, “What are you thinking about? You’ve completely closed yourself up.”

When she saw Alexander’s handsome face closing in under the light, Luna’s bad mood slightly improved.

She was fine. But not that fine.

At least she still had Alexander, whom no one else could get, right?

“My stepmother called me this afternoon. She used my dad’s number,” Although Luna didn’t want to call him Dad, she couldn’t change her bloodline. She had no choice but to give in. “My dad was hoping that I would go to the Oaks to explain so that Eve could marry into their family.”

Alexander asked with a scowl, “You promised her?”

Luna nodded and said, “She wanted to have a fairytale romance with Clarence, right? Then I’ll let her marry! When Clarence is in prison, I’ll then ask her if she regrets her decision! Not to mention that you asked the cops to delay the investigation for this, isn’t it?”

Alexander pursed his lips and said, “But I didn’t expect her to be so shameless to ask this of you.”

Originally, he had wanted to do something first so that Eve could be taught a lesson. He hadn’t expected that Flora would look for Luna instead.

This was beyond his expectations.

“It’s fine. This isn’t your fault,” Luna sat on the sofa holding her knees together, looking so small because of it. “It’s just that I didn’t feel really comfortable about this. No! That’s not right! I should say I feel disgusted about this!”

Although she was not the original, the pain that the original had experienced still remained within this body.

If she could make a choice, she would probably choose to quickly and easily eliminate all these people just like in her past life.

No one would know about it, and she didn’t need to be worried about any trouble.

But, no!

She was no longer Zenthia’s number 1 assassin. She was Luna Brooke, and she had to obey the law and order of this place.

Alexander stroked her long hair and said, “It’s fine. After dinner, I’ll bring you somewhere nice.”

When his hand was placed on her head, she felt at peace for some reason. Luna then turned and asked, “Somewhere nice? Is it one of those kinds of lavish places?”

“..”

After a moment of silence, Alexander massaged her head and said, “What are you thinking about? Am I really that kind of person in your eyes, hm?”

Luna let out a laugh and finally showed him a smile.

Today, Mrs. Niles specially made her favorite sweet and sour fish. Luna took in the scent and felt her appetite growing.

“Mrs. Niles’s fish dish is the best,” Luna said as she carefully removed the bones. She then couldn’t help but ask Alexander, “Why aren’t you eating? You don’t like fish?”

Alexander shook his head and said, “I’m allergic to it. Even if I like it, I can’t eat it.”

“Ah!” Luna looked at him with sympathy. “Doesn’t that make you miserable?”

“True,” Alexander took a sip of red wine and then said in a deep tone, “It’s very miserable especially when the thing you want to eat is just right in front of you.”

Luna coughed and stopped saying anything.

Why would he say something so lewd at any time of the day?! That was so weird!

When Alexander saw her expression, he smiled as he lowered his head.

It seemed like the little girl was still quite easy to take care of!

After their meal, Alexander had the butler give him his coat. He then turned to her and said, “Come on, time to go on a trip.”

Luna looked at the proper suit that he was wearing and glanced at the crumpled T-shirt that she was wearing. She then turned and said, “I’m going to change first. Give me a few minutes! I’ll be quick.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.”

When Luna ran up the stairs, Alexander broke into a smile as he looked at her figure.

The butler then said with a smile, “Ever since the madam moved in, this place finally has the looks of a home. Before this, it was too empty. Too quiet.”

“I think so too,” Alexander replied as his smile became even wider.

Five minutes later, she walked down in a sky-blue dress.

Her long wavy hair behind her reached her waist, and she clipped her bangs with a diamond star hairclip.

Her innocent and elegant face made her look even more attractive.

Alexander extended his hand and Luna slowly grabbed it.

“Where are you taking me?”

“You’ll know when we get there. It will definitely make you forget all those sad things.”

“I’ll wait and see then! But I’ll be upfront, don’t bring me to somewhere too noisy.”

“Don’t worry, only I’ll be there!”

The black car drove through the night. Luna rolled down the car window and let the wind gently touch her face. And that carried away most of her unhappiness.

“How many times have you brought a girl out for a ride like this?” Luna turned around and asked him. “There are so many people that like you. I’m not the first one, right?!”

Alexander had his hands on the steering wheel and said, “If I told you that you weren’t, would you get jealous?”

Luna pouted and said, “I’m not that petty as long as I’m the only person from now on!”

Alexander then turned around and said to her, “That would depend on how your performance is.”

Luna snorted and said, “I’m such a nice girl. You better be careful. If someone else managed to grab my heart, you would lose me then.”

Alexander said, “You’re quite confident, hm?”

Luna nodded and said, “Of course.”

The only reason that all those people would bully her was that she had lived such a lowly life.

Alexander then asked plainly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be with someone else?”

It’s not news in Auburn that the number of women who wanted him never ran dry.

If it weren’t because of his cold personality, the number of women willing to be his mistress could probably form a battalion.

“Nope,” Luna answered decisively. “If you’re someone like that, you wouldn’t be single until now. Not to mention that if you really don’t want to be with me anymore, there’s nothing I can do even if I’m afraid, right?”

If being afraid could lead her away from problems, then she wouldn’t mind learning what fear meant.

Alexander said with a smile, “You’re quite open-minded.”

Luna looked at the lamp posts by the side of the road, and there was a slight bitterness in her tone as she said, “Sometimes you have to be open-minded to be able to live on.”

And that was how the world had always been, wasn’t it?
