Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Jealous of His Own Subordinate
The laboratory was ablaze, and Vaila Mook and Alaric Wood were too preoccupied to chase after them. Mason Nightshade got in touch with Adrian Cooper, who sent Rocco Cooper to support Aurelia Shaw.
Several military trucks arrived.
Rocco Cooper jumped down from the truck, his face reddening with embarrassment upon seeing Aurelia Shaw. He straightened his back and assumed a formal military stance in front of Mason Nightshade, "Report, I didn’t protect the sister-in-law well. I failed my duty. Requesting punishment!"
"..." Aurelia Shaw was a bit dumbfounded.
What was this all about?
She looked at Mason Nightshade and noticed his face was clouded with darkness.
Mason Nightshade gave a cool, faint smile, "Indeed, you should be punished. Go back and receive your punishment yourself."
As his words fell, Mason Nightshade held Aurelia Shaw’s hand and walked towards the military trucks, with a group of gossiping eyes staring at them from behind.
Whoa! He held sister-in-law’s hand! Held her hand, he did!
I’ve been enlisted for over five years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen someone hold a girl’s hand! Not even close to a meter away from a woman before.
Sister-in-law, you are so formidable, so formidable...
Mason Nightshade rummaged through the truck while Aurelia Shaw peeked curiously, wondering what he was looking for.
Soon, Mason Nightshade came down holding a water flask.
"Wash your face first," Mason Nightshade said.
Aurelia Shaw froze for a moment, then quickly realized.
Mason Nightshade wasn’t disliking her heavily made-up face; in fact, she had a very particular habit of using a specific brand of makeup, and other products made her very uncomfortable.
She hadn’t expected him to remember such a small detail.
In a harsh environment, especially when unsure if they could escape enemy territory, water was an extremely important resource, yet he was willing to share it with her to wash her face.
Aurelia Shaw was deeply moved, cupping the water Mason Nightshade poured out, and washed her face without letting a drop spill.
Her delicate, fair face was revealed, skin moist with water droplets, untouched by makeup, yet still captivating, clean and alluring.
Aurelia Shaw pulled up her white T-shirt to wipe her face, revealing a glimpse of her flat abdomen.
The troops hadn’t seen a woman in years and couldn’t withstand such temptation. Instantly, their eyes were like hungry wolves’, almost glowing green.
But before they could take a good look, a chilling aura crept up their necks, making their scalps tingle with fear. They quickly looked away, cold sweat forming on their foreheads, hearts racing with panic.
How dare they look at the sister-in-law! They must not want to live!
"Get in!" Mason Nightshade pulled Aurelia Shaw onto the truck.
Aurelia Shaw, not quite understanding, followed onto the truck and curiously asked Mason Nightshade, "Hey, in your troops, if I encounter any danger here, will you punish them?"
"If they can’t even serve this purpose, what use do I have for them?" Mason Nightshade said in a calm voice, as he took off his jacket and spread it on the seat.
Mason Nightshade patted his clothes, "Come over, sit down. There’s still a long way to go. This isn’t as comfortable as your chauffeured car; bear with it for now."
Aurelia Shaw sat down on his clothes without any qualms.
Mason Nightshade drew her into his arms, letting her rest her head on his thigh, "Get some sleep, I’ll wake you when we arrive." She surely hadn’t rested well these past few days here.
Seeing the deep dark circles under her eyes, Mason Nightshade was filled with guilt.
He had let his woman enter enemy territory to save him.
And suffer such grievances.
