Chapter 170 Are You Gonna Marry Me?


    This guy is way too easy to trick, Helen thought to herself.


    This is a good thing. Teresa can see right through my lies and kick me out, but I still have Linden hooked


    As long as Linden''s heart belongs only to me, that''s enough.


    Driving fast down the road, Linden had no clue Helen was ying him.


    The thought of another guy holding Helen made his blood boil, and he was ready to curse.


    Not because he loved Helen so much, but because she was still his girlfriend. Anyone else touching his girl was a challenge he couldn''t ept.


    If he could let that slide, what kind of man would he be?


    When he got to the apartment building, his forehead veins bulging, fists clenched tight in the elevator, he was ready to punch whoever had the nerve to get close to Helen.


    I''ll teach that guy a lesson he''ll never forget.


    See if he dares to touch my woman again.


    But when the elevator doors opened, the hallway was empty. No one stood outside Helen''s door.


    The whole corridor was deserted. Linden''s steps slowed.


    Where''s the guy Helen mentioned?


    As a man himself, he knew other men well.


    Men like that won''t leave without finishing what they came for


    Could it be...


    That thought hit him, and he clenched his fists even tighter.

    He hurried to Helen''s door and pounded on it ''Open up! Open the door right now!"


    After a few hard knocks, the door finally creaked open.


    Helen stood there, trembling and nearly in tears. Linden''s face darkened. "Did that guy hurt you? Where is he?"


    Without saying a word, he pushed past her and started searching the room.


    No one was on the bed, so he looked everywhere-the closet, behind the curtains, behind the door, even under the bed.


    While searching, he growled, "If you''re a man,e out! Cowards who do stuff bu consequences aren''t men!"


    It face the


    Helen, knowing he thought a man had broken in, rushed to his side and threw her arms around him. "Linden, you''re overthinking. He never came inside."

    Linden blinked, then asked, "Never came inside? Then why didn''t I see anyone outside the door!


    Helen calmly gave the excuse she''d prepared. "I heard him kicking louder and louder, and I got scared. I told him I was your girlfriend, and that you were on your way. He probably got scared of messing with you. and left.


    Linden snorted coldly. "Smart move. If he''d waited for me, I''d have taught him a lesson he wouldn''t forget"


    "That''s right. Guys like that deserve a beating." Helen held him tight, batting her eyes as she teased, "After what happened, I''m even more scared to live here alone. Can youe keep mepany every night from now on?"


    Linden hesitated, quiet for a long moment.


    Helen pulled back a little and looked up at him. "You said you wanted to be with me every day. Was that all a lic?"


    He softened. "Of course not. It''s just thepany''s been busytely, and I''ve had


    a ton of events. I didn''t want toe homete and mess up your sleep.


    Helen pouted. "But when you''re not here, I can''t sleep at all, so you can''t mess up my sleep. Just promise me you''ll stay with me."


    Her voice was soft and sweet, wrapping around Linden''s heart like cotton.


    Finally, he agreed. "Alright. Whatever you say, babe."


    But he didn''t n to stay here with Helen all the time.


    She''d been scared tonight, and that was normal. After a few days, when she stopped being afraid, she wouldn''t need him every night anymore.


    Helen''s eyes lit up with a smile. "You''re so good to me."


    Then she stood on her toes and kissed him.


    That kiss sparked something wild inside Lindeh.


    He pulled Helen close and kissed her hard.


    Her hands curled around his neck, matching his passion.


    After the heated kiss, they fell back on the bed, breathing hard.


    Helen started undoing the buttons on his shirt eagerly. Linden teased, "You seem eager."


    Blushing, she turned her head shyly and whispered, ''I missed you."


    Hearing her soft voice and seeing her shy face, Linden felt like he was burning up.


    He couldn''t hold back any longer and roughly pulled off her clothes.


    After a storm of sweat and desire, Helen curled up in Linden''s arms, soft and calm like a cat.


    "Linden," she whispered, "are you gonna marry me?"
