Noble Husband At the Door

Chapter 75

The cashier behind the counter had long been scared speechless, but Samuel had not forgotten about

her." Apologize to my wife,” he said.

"I-I'm sorry," she stuttered, bowing her head.

Christopher was still looking at Johann, hoping that h e could at least help by saying something. Even if

his men could not defeat that punk, surely Johann's status could suppress that fellow's brazen

arrogance somehow.

However, Christopher's hopes were dashed when Johann placed his hands on his thighs and bent over

slightly, indicating deference to the young man. The sight made all the color leech out of Christopher's

face.

Even Johann...did not dare to provoke that fellow!

Who on earth was this young man?

Samuel brought his wife to a table by the window; Christopher tiptoed over to Johann's side. "Brother

Johann, who is this man?" he asked.

Johann emitted an unsympathetic harrumph." Christopher Lane, go and dig a grave and bury yourself

in it," he said. "I’m not going to suffer in your place. If I get into trouble because of this, I'll never forgive

you."

Ever since the run-in with Blake Coleman, Johann

knew that he was not regarded favorably by Samuel. If he made Samuel unhappy again, he could not

tell if he could even maintain his current status.

Just as the manager and cashier were pondering the ways their boss would take revenge on Samuel,

Christopher did something entirely unexpected.

He got onto his knees, scraping toward Samuel.

The manager and the cashier stared at Christopher in disbelief.

The owner of the Grand Hyatt was kneeling before someone!

"Sir, this... Our boss..."

The cashier was startled out of her wits, and her manager was not faring any better. The latter's eyes

were full of terror as he looked at Samuel.

"Shut up. Not a word," the manager said coldly.

Yvonne was raking her eyes over Samuel with an unreadable expression; it made the hairs on his arms

stand on end.

"What are you staring at me for?" Samuel could not help but ask.

"Christopher Lane is actually on his knees now, but you probably didn't spend money for this. That man

would never shame himself like that even if you offered him all the world's riches," Yvonne said.

Samuel had told her that he paid Johann to settle the matter from before, and she had not given it

much thought. She trusted him. However, the incident that day implied that it was not as simple as

whipping out cash.

Who was Johann? He was a figure standing in the grey areas of Cloud City's law, and he probably had

plenty of fighters under his command. Yet he was not uttering a single word now. Could cash do that?

"Isn’t it normal for someone to admit defeat if they can't beat someone else?" Samuel said. 1

Yvonne shook her head. "Christopher got onto his knees to apologize after being defeated," she said.

"If word gets out, he’ll never be able to walk proudly on the streets again. Don't treat me like I'm an

idiot."

Samuel still could not tell his wife about what was going on in Cloud City, especially when it came to

the shadier sides of it. A respectable young woman like her would definitely worry about him otherwise.

"You'll know everything...eventually," he replied.

Yvonne could do nothing but give in, seeing that Samuel was intent on keeping his mouth shut.

However, she was still curious about one other matter. "Were you always this strong, or did you only

get strong lately?" she asked. "What do you think of the Sues?"

"I've always been this way. The Sues? Ants!" he answered simply.

A grin lit up Yvonne’s face. Then she continued, "Why did you lose your temper today?”

"They wanted to see what a fuss out of nothing looked like. How could I deny their special request?"

Samuel said.

Yvonne knew that he had only flared up because they said she created an unnecessary fuss.

Everything that he did then, he did it for her. An indescribable well of happiness bubbled in her; it was

hard to describe this sensation of feeling so safe and protected.

"Will you still be with me even if I become super rebellious and crazy?" she suddenly asked.

"Of course," he said in a resolute tone. "I’ll always protect you, no matter how crazy you get."

Yvonne pursed her lips. "I’ll never go crazy," she said." I just want to make all the people who had

always looked down on our family sit up and take notice of u s."

Samuel was completely aware of Yvonne's character. She had never been a stubborn, wayward

person.

Rather, she was extremely logical, always thinking through her decisions before following through with

them.

She had suffered plenty of unfairness in the Sue family. If she truly wanted to be rebellious, she would

have severed ties with them long ago. Yet she gritted her teeth and held on, if only to prove herself to

them.

After they finished their meal, Christopher personally saw him off, still on his knees. Johann released a

sigh of relief when Samuel did not pry any further into the

matter.

Samuel was not one to dwell on the past. The fact that he did not ask anything about the situation Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

meant that the case was closed.

"Count your lucky stars. You'd better use your brains properly next time," Johann said to Christopher in

a frosty tone. "Also, keep your mouth shut about whatever happened today. I can’t guarantee your life if

anything happens."

Christopher bobbed his head vigorously and wiped a sheen of sweat off his forehead. He would not

dare to have the least bit of interest in uncovering Samuel's identity anymore. It was an evident warning

from Johann-that he would not have a chance to regret his actions if he was dead.

"All of you, remember this. Not a word of this gets outside. Capisce?" Christopher said to the restaurant

staff.
