The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 11. Prince's Attention
"Sorry, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to seduce you. It was just a spontaneous reaction. Your face was red and sweaty. I was just helping you to look your best in front of other people. And don't worry. This handkerchief is clean. I haven't worn it yet. " Prince showed his black handkerchief briefly before putting it in his pocket. Seeing his awkwardness, Emily quickly looked away. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she took a deep breath. "Okay, I can understand that. Oh look! The group of tourists has gone up. Come on, let's catch up!" Seeing Emily walk away shyly, Prince smiled. He walked beside her. "So, who are you looking for? Tell ne the characteristics. Who knows, I might be able to help. My observation skill is great, you know?" Emily glanced thinly. After a short contemplation, she finally revealed, "Her name is Sky. Her eyes are green. Her hair is curly. She is a little shorter than me, but her energy is much higher. She is a very attractive girl. Her ent
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 12. His Charm
In the restaurant, Prince didn't dare disturb Emily. He preferred to wait until she was cheerful again. Luckily, when the salad arrived, a sweet smile appeared on her beautiful face again. "Merci," Emily said as she looked at the plates on the table. After the waiter left, she immediately prayed and enjoyed the first bite with her eyes closed. "Oh, I made the right choice," she muttered, shaking her head faintly. When her eyes opened again, she pointed at the plate in front of Prince. "Try it! It's delicious. You have to eat a lot to take care of me well." Prince smiled faintly. "Even though I'm hungry, I will still take good care of my boss." He tasted the salad. "But you need energy to fight the bad guy in case he suddenly appears. Should I order you a steak? You need protein." Prince failed to hide his laughter. "That's my favorite. How about we order one portion and share? You need protein too, Miss Harper." "I've got it from here." Emily pointed at the chicken pieces
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 13. Bad News
"Take this, shameless woman!" Emily gasped. She quickly looked away, protecting her head with her arms. Unexpectedly, it wasn't the heat that she received, but the young woman's scream. "Hey! What is this? She has turned her back on you. Why are you protecting her? Look at my dress! You ruined it!" Emily turned her head. As it turned out, the waiter's tray was now in Prince's hand. Coffee dripped from the edge. Knowing that the man had succeeded in protecting her again, a warm feeling filled Emily's heart. "Miss Harper, are you okay?" Prince's soft voice broke her reverie. After blinking, Emily looked down to examine her outfit. There wasn't a speck of coffee on it. "I'm okay." Prince let out a faint breath. Emily could clearly see his relief. Meanwhile, the young woman's husband finally got up from his chair. He approached while grimacing. "Baby, please don't cause any more trouble. There are lots of people here." The young woman stared wide eyed. "You call me a pro

"Miss Harper, are you okay?" Prince asked softly. Emily blinked. She realized that teardrops had started to block her eyes. "Are you sure, Monsieur? Based on the information I have, Sky should still be working here." Emily ignored Prince's question. Her sad eyes were only focused on the key keeper. "Yes, I also wonder why she stopped so suddenly. Yesterday morning, she was still guiding her team and greeted me cheerfully. But in the afternoon, she said goodbye." Emily held her head. Her mind was too full and felt heavy. "Where ...." Her voice faltered. "Where is she going?" The Monsieur shook his head. His eyes narrowed, checking the memory. "I don't know, Mademoiselle. But it seems like it has something to do with Summer. Since the weather is getting colder, she doesn't look well. Maybe Sky took her to ...." The man stopped talking. He felt there was no sympathy in Emily's eyes. The beautiful girl was only interested in Sky's existence. "Excuse me, Mademoiselle. Do
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 15. Caught in a Storm
"Monsieur," Emily knocked on the door for the umpteenth time. "Please, open the door. Listen to my explanation. Monsieur?" Just like before, no answer was heard. Emily sighed in resignation. "Is this where he lives? Why does it seem like there's no one inside?" she sighed as she looked at the sturdy building in front of them. Her hands occasionally moved to fix her hair that was blown by the wind. Prince stopped focusing on his phone. He looked up, muttering, "The upstairs window looks dark. It seems that Madame gave us the wrong direction. Shall we continue looking for the Monsieur tomorrow morning?" Emily pondered for a moment. She looked up at the night sky. There wasn't a single star. Instead, a flash of light was coming from the ocean. "You're right. We should continue the mission tomorrow. Let's go back to the hotel before the rain comes," she nodded weakly. "Not rain, but storm," Prince mumbled as he put his phone in his pocket. Emily stared wide eyed. "Storm?"
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 16. Sharing Warmth
When she came out of the bathroom, Emily immediately pulled her robe closer. She didn't wear anything under the white cloth. When Prince's gaze fell on her, all her nerves tensed. "How are you? Any better?" the man asked as he approached. Emily spontaneously took a deeper breath. She was worried that her heart rate was increasing. For some reason, the bodyguard's face looked more handsome with less lighting. "The water is cold, the bathrobe is thin, and the hair dryer isn't working properly. My hair isn't really dry," Emily grumbled before folding her arms in front of her chest. She regretted giving the second statement. "We have more towels in stock. Just use as many as you need. I only need one. You can wrap your body or dry your hair with them." While Emily nodded, Prince pointed his index finger. "How's your ankle?" Emily's eyes widened. "I even forgot that I fell. Look! My leg is as healthy as ever." Emily put one leg forward, twisting her ankle. Seeing that, Prince

"I'm doing this for survival, not to betray Cayden. Besides, we'll just be touching. Nothing will happen," Emily thought as she took off her bathrobe. After preparing her position, she said, "Come in!" She turned her back to Prince. Her hands were clenched in front of her chest, being on guard in case any naughty fingers tried to cross the line. However, as soon as Prince touched her skin, her worries disappeared. The man just pressed his chest against her back. There's still some distance to the bottom. His hand that slipped into the crook of Emily's neck ended up on her arm. While his other hand politely cupped Emily's hands as if protecting them from the cold. "Is this enough? Are you comfortable?" he whispered, making the hairs on Emily's neck bristle. "Y-yes." Emily's eyes fluttered as she caught her breath. "Now let's sleep. We have to continue the mission once the storm passes." "Yes. Hopefully the storm won't last long. Good night, Miss Harper." Emily nodded slight
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 18. Relying on Him
After showering, Emily came out awkwardly. She didn't know how to interact with Prince. She even ran when she entered the bathroom earlier. But as it turned out, the room was empty. "Where did he go? Why didn't he ask my permission?" Emily muttered in surprise. She didn't realize that her lips were pouting. With languid steps, Emily approached the table. A piece of paper was stuck to the cup there. "Drink this chocolate while it's warm. I'll be back before breakfast arrives. Don't open the door for anyone but me." The corners of Emily's lips lifted slightly. "Is he a bodyguard or husband? Why is his message so sweet?" After removing the paper, Emily enjoyed the chocolate slowly. She felt so peaceful until suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Emily got up from her chair. "Breakfast, Mademoiselle." Emily's eyes lit up. Her hand moved casually towards the doorknob. However, remembering Prince's message, she didn't open it. "Merci. Just put it there. I'l

At a height of 186 meters from the road, Emily's eyes lit up. The room she had just entered had glass walls. The view of Auckland city was beautifully displayed behind it. "Welcome to the tallest tower in NZ, Uncle and Auntie. This tower is an icon of Auckland city, built in 1994 with a total height of 328 meters. From this floor, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city. Your dinner will definitely be very romantic and impressive," Summer explained enthusiastically. Emily smiled sweetly. While embracing Cayden's waist, she whispered, "We didn't choose the wrong guide." Then, she looked back at Summer. "Thank you, Little Guide. I really like this place." Summer smiled. A sense of pride filled her heart. While putting her hands on her hips, she nodded firmly. "Then, enjoy your dinner, Auntie. Please take a seat at the table we have prepared especially for you. After you are finished, Mama and I will return." "Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner?" Sky shook her h
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 2. Honeymoon
"Uncle Cayden! Aunt Emily!" Summer greeted as the newlyweds exited the arrival gate. Her hand holding a piece of cardboard swung. Cayden and Emily's names stuck on it were almost scattered in the air. When Emily waved back at her from a distance, the toddler's laughter echoed. Her feet bounced happily. However, seeing how the newlywed walked, her joy turned to surprise. "Oh, Mama? What's wrong with Auntie's legs? Why is she walking like that?" Hearing her daughter's remark, Sky flinched. The curve of her lips froze. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Emily," she denied hesitantly. "No, Mama. Auntie doesn't usually walk like that. She just looks weird. Are her legs still sore from standing so much at her wedding last week? Or maybe, the dress was too heavy, so her legs were tired?" Sky grimaced. "Summer, how about we stop talking about that? Emily is a perfectionist. Her mood will be ruined if she knows someone thinks she's weird. Don't you want to provide the best ho
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 1. The First Night
"My Prince, are you sure you won't regret coming back here, to my family's house? We can still rent a hotel for our first night if you want," Emily whispered as Cayden carried her to their room. Cayden laughed softly. His breath tickled her ear. "Isn't this our house too? What's wrong with coming back here?" "There's nothing wrong. It's just," Emily lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, "my parents and siblings live here too. Is it okay if we do it near their rooms?" "We'll do it in our own room, Emily. They can't peek. Besides, we've discussed this before, right? You don't mind." Cayden secretly felt amused with his wife. Emily winced a little. "Yes, I did. But at that time, I didn't think this far." "How far?" Cayden raised an eyebrow. Now they had arrived upstairs. Seeing their bedroom door, Emily's heart raced. She swallowed hard. "I didn't take into account of the distance between our rooms and the direction of the soundwave. We're only one wall away fro

"Be happy in your new life, Emily. Don't cry anymore," Louis whispered. "I'm not a crybaby anymore, Louis," Emily replied. "Really? But you are crying now." Louis checked her eyes. "You're crying too." Louis shook his head. "I'm not crying. My eyes are just exposed to air conditioning." While Emily let out another laugh, a WO staff came over. "Mr. Harper, time for action." Emily was stunned to see the lemon plushie that the staff gave Louis. "Why is Yemon here?" Louis smiled mischievously. "Isn't he your favorite? He would be sad if he missed your special moment. So, he has to play a part too." "What part?" Louis took the ring box out of his pocket. After shaking them for a while, he put both rings into Yemon's secret pocket. "His magic bag always comes in handy," he winked. Emily sighed in disbelief. When Louis put on his sunglasses and went on errands, she could only shake her head in amazement. Her twin brother was always full of surprises. As soon as Louis e
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 107. Emily's Wedding
"What if we fulfill the promise that was postponed?" Emily whispered, making Cayden raise an eyebrow. "You mean NZ?" As Emily nodded, Cayden smiled. He looked at the phone. "Would you mind visiting the glow worms in the cave again, Summer?" he asked. "Uncle and Auntie, do you want to honeymoon in NZ?" Summer's voice grew lighter. Receiving nods from the bride and groom-to-be, laughter filled the air. "I like that option. Uncle and Aunt can take photos with the glowing worms. Then, I will take you to explore the north and south islands. We can do rafting, bungee jumping, hiking. We can do all the fun things together. I mean, you and Uncle Cayden while Mama and I. We'll do it together but separately!" Emily smiled sweetly at the thought of the excitement. "Oh, I can't wait for the honeymoon." "Just get married first, think about the honeymoon later," Sky said, amused. "But, I hope you won't regret choosing Summer as your guide." "Why should they regret, Mama? I am a
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 106. Summer's Condition
When Louis was interrogated, Emily rushed into the car. She couldn't wait to contact Alice via a video call. Her heart had not been calm since the police said that Sky and Summer had missed their flight. "Mrs. Hills?" Her feelings became even more chaotic when she saw Alice in the hospital. "What happened? Where are Sky and Summer? Why didn't they fly here?" Alice smiled slightly. "I'm sorry that my daughter and granddaughter had to cancel their appointment. Something happened earlier, but don't worry. The critical phase is over." Emily gasped. "Who is critical?" "Summer. Someone gave her almond milk at the airport. Her allergies flared up, and her epipen suddenly disappeared. Luckily, Sky took her to the medical room in time. Now she's being treated in the hospital." Emily covered her mouth with one hand. Her chest was tight. Her tears almost spilled. Cayden, who had just gotten into the car, widened his eyes when he saw her. Holding her shoulder, he whispered, "What's wr
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 105. A Hero
"How dare you hurt my future wife?" Cayden rebuked with burning hatred. Seth met Cayden's gaze with sharper eyes. His jaw throbbed. He was furious that none of his plans went smoothly. "Why is fate never on my side? Why?" Desperate, Seth finally pulled a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that, Cayden and Emily gasped. "Hey? Please don't be careless. Your punishment could be heavier if you kill us with a weapon," Cayden said while raising one hand in front of him. Seth's laughter became increasingly sinister. "Do you think I care? What's the difference between killing you with a stick, poison, or a bullet? They're all the same. They all can send you to hell!" Seth pointed a gun at Emily. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Witnessing that, Cayden swallowed hard. He was too far to protect Emily. Now, he could only hope that Seth would just aim at him. "Do you think it's that easy to send us to hell? We are good people. Even if we die, we will go to heaven. You are the on
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 104. Emily in Action
Cayden jerked his body. He tried to get up from the chair. Unfortunately, the rope that tied him was too strong. "You coward! Your opponent is me, not Emily. Why do you keep involving her in our affairs, huh? Let her go!" Emily could only sigh in pity at her hiding place. Meanwhile, Seth, who had been silent for a while, was now laughing out loud. "Do you think my threats have been a joke all this time? Destroying you is my purpose in life. I will never stop until you get what you should get. Glen ...." Seth glanced at his partner in crime. "Let the show begin." "Okay, Bro." The man in the janitor uniform turned his laptop. Cayden's breath became louder and rougher. Meanwhile, Seth sat on a sofa. He was ready to witness Cayden's anger. His evil smile kept growing until Glen's eyebrows furrowed, and Cayden's face turned confused. "Hey!" Seth exclaimed, his eyes widened. "Is this a paused show? Come on, vent your anger! You don't mind your future wife having fun with ano
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 103. Tied to a Chair
After getting out of the elevator, Emily immediately approached the security guard. She explained the incident briefly, then asked where the CCTV room was. The security team immediately took actions. Several of them secured the impostor. Others started searching the area. The rest escorted Emily to the CCTV room. "How is it?" Emily asked when her patience ran out. The people there were working too slowly. "Sorry, Miss. All the CCTVs on the 3rd floor were off. We checked the CCTVs on the other floors. There was nothing suspicious." "What about the emergency stairs?" "Sorry, Miss. There's no CCTV in that area." Emily grimaced. "What about the parking lot in the basement? You can't possibly leave that area unmonitored, right?" The security guard checked the monitor again. Before he had time to find a clue, his colleague spoke up. "Miss, I found something odd." Emily shifted to another monitor. Two men are pushing a trolley of rubbish. "Could Cayden be inside one of th
