Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 385

Barron hugged Hazel tightly. He lowered his head and stroked her cheek with both hands, ignoring her struggles. It was the first time he had desired a woman so much, but Barron didn't have the patience to wonder what the reason behind it was.

"All right, the three minutes are up!"

The auctioneer calculated the time and shouted, providing the waiter with the information to turn on the lights.

The contented guests stopped moving.

The sound of a fuse breaking.

A loud noise came from the corner, followed by the waiter's exclamation, "No good, the fuse is broken!"

The hall was dark, and only near the windows could one see the bright light from the lightning from time to time.

Thunder gusts and heavy rain poured down, making this rainy night no longer silent.

"How could this happen? It's not another prank, is it?"

There were whispers in the crowd as too many strange things were happening at the masquerade today.

Edie searched for Hazel in the darkness. She opened the small bag she was carrying and tried to turn on the flashlight function of her phone to illuminate it.

"No."

Roger subconsciously pulled Edie into a dark corner near the window and said in a low voice, "Turn off your phone. Things are getting weird now."

Indeed, there were sounds of rustling in the living room one after another.

"You..."

Edie tried to slap Roger's hand away, but it was all too coincidental, and she seemed to have a bit of an epiphany.

"You know, the replaced song in the masquerade ball is the melody of death."

This song had long been banned by all the countries in the world, yet it appeared here. It was indescribably strange.

"Do you mean Plum Blossom? Then... Baron..."

Edie suddenly dawned on her, and she grabbed Roger's arm, her body trembling slightly. She was scared. She was afraid of something unpredictable.

"He was with Hazel."

Roger put him together. At that time, the best thing to do was to split up and hide, to stay the same in response to changes.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and as it was, the guests were unable to leave the villa.

The villa was above a section of the mountain road. In the storm, it was difficult to see anything clearly on the road, and there could be a car accident at any time.

"Is she here?"

Hazel wiped the sweat on her forehead. Although in the darkness, she could not see Barron's expression. She could only feel that his aura had become sharp and cold.

Only the two of them knew what "she" meant.

"It should be. Don't be afraid."

After a moment of silence, Barron didn't hide anything. This strange and outrageous method was indeed the style of the Plum Blossom.

The scary part was that this transnational criminal group had slowly infiltrated them and tried to subvert them.

Baron changed his position to protect Hazel.

Although she has not agreed to be his spouse, it seems that this would happen sooner or later.

His pride didn't allow him to force her. What he wanted was for her to willingly agree.

Hazel closed her eyes and held her breath. Her heart was beating wildly.

She thought of Bruce. After he was kidnapped last time, Bruce disappeared from the entertainment industry. His life was uncertain. She heard that his play was taken over by another popular young star.

It didn't matter if he was popular or not, as long as Bruce was alive, it was good.

The door of the villa lobby was opened by someone, and the cool breeze drifted in mixed with the dampness of the earth.

The guests fidgeted and strongly urged the waiter to fetch the candles.

Each person's expression was hidden on a rainy night, looking unfathomable.
