Chapter 819: Chapter 819: A Hint of Light Fragrance (1)

Shortly after, Huangfu Jue also came downstairs wearing his pajamas.

With such a commotion, anyone asleep would have woken up, let alone the two who had just finished being intimate and hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

Upon hearing a strange noise, the two immediately rushed downstairs. Gan Yuan went to their son’s room to check, while Huangfu Jue ran downstairs.

"What happened?"

Still in the living room, Huangfu Jue had already shouted to inquire.

"Sir!" Will, disheveled, walked into the living room, "Just now, I... I accidentally let Jessica escape."

Huangfu Jue immediately frowned.

Will had been by his side for many years and had almost never made a mistake. This time, he actually let a woman escape blatantly from under his nose, which made Huangfu Jue quite furious.

"Sir, I’m sorry!"

Just as Huangfu Jue frowned and was about to explode, Gan Yuan’s voice came from the staircase.

"Ajue!" Stepping downstairs, she gently patted Huangfu Jue’s arm, "You go upstairs and stay with Xiaotang, I’ll question him."

With a glare at Will, Huangfu Jue turned and went upstairs.

After hearing his footsteps fade away, Gan Yuan walked up to Will and asked gently.

"What happened?"

"I just wanted to ask her a few questions for you, but I didn’t expect... she pretended to cry, and then... took my gun and the handcuff keys."

Will explained simply and did not mention the details of being tricked. The process was too embarrassing, and he couldn’t bear to speak of it in front of Gan Yuan.

Gan Yuan’s eyes fell on the gun in his hand. "You didn’t fire?"

"I..." Guilt-ridden, Will lowered his gaze immediately, "I hadn’t aimed yet, and she had already driven off. Don’t worry, I will catch her, I promise, I’ll... I’ll go now."

Turning around, he jogged towards the door.

"Will!" Gan Yuan called out loudly to stop him, "Forget it."

Will turned around, lowered his head, and said in an apologetic tone, "I’m really... very sorry. It’s all my fault."

Gan Yuan shook her head lightly, "It’s okay, I was only keeping her temporarily. Even if she didn’t escape today, I was planning to let her go in a day or two anyway."

Will looked up in surprise, "You mean?"

"Moses only arranged for her to protect me. Jessica has never done anything to harm me. Since she doesn’t want to betray Moses, I don’t want to force her either," Gan Yuan smiled at him, "So... there’s no need to catch her."

Will nodded gently, "Miss Gan, I’m truly sorry about what happened tonight."

The relationship between Gan Yuan and Moses was complicated, and Will couldn’t possibly unravel their complexities. Since she said it wasn’t necessary, he would just let it go.

Jessica was Moses’s person, but Will had seen how caring she was towards Gan Yuan and Gan Tang.

It’s just a pity that her master was Moses, and they were on opposing sides.

Gan Yuan looked at Will’s face with a deep and steady gaze, "Will, you’ve already done very well, don’t push yourself too hard. It’s late, get some rest."

Will responded softly, "Is the young master alright?"

"He’s sleeping well, don’t worry. Go to sleep now."

Bidding him goodnight, Gan Yuan turned and went upstairs.

Will watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, sighed, and then turned and walked out of the hall.

After briefly arranging the security work at the main gate with the bodyguards and servants, his eyes fell on the street outside the Duke Residence where cars were flowing. Turning his head slightly, he took one last look in the direction Jessica had left, then turned back towards the main building.
