Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

Chapter 64 No Mercy



Owen did not answer his question and kepy on sipping his drink. It was still early and he had no interest in wasting his energy on him.

When he did not get an answer, Semion chuckled. "Well, she is very beautiful and charming. No wonder Andrew fell for her so fast."

"But it's such a shame, isn't it?" he added. "With how capable Andrew is, he could marry anyone he wanted to but he chose someone with a very clean and sober family background."

Semion had a smile on his face but he couldn't hide the disappointment that laced his voice.

Owen knew he had plans for both him and Andrew but things didn't go as he had planned.

"But you must not make the same mistake," Semion smirked. "You should always keep in your mind that a commoner can never survive in our world. Someone with a simple background will definitely be an easy target."

"After what you have become, you still have the nerve to threaten others?" Owen scoffed. "How thick-skinned are you?"

"If I wasn't thick skinned, do you think you would be sitting where you are?"

Without waiting for Owen's reply, he picked up the bag he had brought with him. "These belonged to Lisa, tell Andrew to give it to Rachael."

Owen glanced at the bag once and then continued to glare at the old man. He was trying very hard to figure out what was going on in his mind. But as usual, Semion wasn't someone one could see through. He had always been unpredictable.

"Well, since Andrew doesn't mind being with a woman who was once abandoned by another man on the wedding day, I assume he must really love her." When Owen frowned, Semion chuckled. "Oh God please don't tell me you don't know that."

Not that it concerned him but Owen was taken aback. He had no idea Rachael had been through so much in the past. He knew that Andrew's feelings for her were quite strong, otherwise he would have never married her in such a haste.

Such strong feelings never developed overnight. This meant that he had been into Rachael for quite some time. This made Owen wonder why Andrew never made a move in the past. But now everything made sense.

Since Rachael was with someone else in the past, Andrew had no choice but to hold his feelings back. He patiently waited and grasped the opportunity as soon as the man was out of the picture.

Helplessly shaking his head, Owen chuckled. His brother was not only smart but also sly.

"You know Semion, you are right when you say we are the same as you. I mean, we managed to take away everything from you just like you did to your father." Tapping his fingers on the desk, Owen smiled at him. "But you know what makes us different? We love our family, we respect them. Unlike you, we protect them with everything we have and you harm them with everything you have."

"I don't know what sleazy ideas you are harboring in your head and I don't care either. But—" He glared at him. "Touch my family and I'll make sure the bullet goes right through your skull and heart. Let me remind you again, I am not Andrew. I don't have even an ounce of mercy for you in my heart and I will definitely never hesitate to kill you."

Semion did not say a word. He just smiled at him. "Well, you did not hesitate to kill your father. I don't expect any mercy from you."

"I am glad you know that," Owen mockingly smirked. "I would have killed you that day itself but too bad Andrew stopped me."

He got up and made his way towards him. "FYI grandpa, I did not miss the bullet." He smirked. "You know how good I am with guns, you trained me."

He then opened the door, gesturing Semion to leave. "Next time, don't drop by without an appointment. I don't have time to waste on you."

Semion got up and walked out of the room. But before Owen could slam the door, he stopped him. "Tell Andrew that if he thinks he can always keep her away from this mess then he is wrong. Now that it's clear he has married for love, people will take advantage of it."

[Elisberg City]

[Collins Mansion, Rachael and Andrew's room]

When Andrew entered the room, Rachael was talking over the phone with her mother.

He sat beside her and started playing with her hair. He ran his fingers through them, swirled them. He could faintly smell her pleasant coco nutty and fruity shampoo.

He had seen multiple additional products in the bathroom which were neatly placed on the shelf. He knew it belonged to Rachael. In fact, he had been shamelessly using her lavender shower gel for the past three days.

When he kept playing with her hair, Rachael got very distracted. Her focus shifted from the conversation she was having with mother to her husband. He had a smile on his face while his hands ran through her hair.

Like every woman, even she hated when someone touched any hair but it was different with Andrew. She didn't mind or hated when he did it. In fact, it was rather satisfying.

"Mom, Andrew is here. I'll call you later, okay?" She hung up the call.

"Why did you hang up?" He asked, his hands never left her hair.

"We were almost done talking."

"What did aunt say?"

"She was very excited when I told her about Edward." She smiled and leaned against his chest. "She is more than happy to babysit him for two days."

"That's great, we can drop Edward there before heading to Yumen," he remarked.

"Are we driving there?"

"Hmm."

When he started touching her hair again, she poked his stomach with her elbow. "Are you obsessed with my hair or something?"

"I am obsessed with everything that's yours."
