Chapter 237 - Won't Let You Go!

By this time, Merry was so immersed in her game that she forgot her surroundings. The feeling of tightness in her chest disappeared as she was engrossed in playing with all four of her teammates.

Merry's opposing team was shocked when they saw Merry and her friends' unruly way of playing. Was the team alright? They almost captured Merry team's tower, but why did the team actually fight over who would give the red buff?

"Hey little sister, what's your name?" Asked one of Merry's teammates while protecting the woman.

Merry smiled broadly in her heart, but she answered sweetly, "You can call me Merry!"

"Merry? Your name is so cute!"

"Merry, do you want the blue buff too?"

"Merry, don't forget to add me as your friend later!"

"Merry ..."

Before Merry could hear the last sentence, someone violently tugged off the headphones. In the next second, Merry's cell phone was snatched from her hand.

"Ah! My game!" Merry cried in exasperation.

She jumped to her feet and tried to grab the cellphone from Chris's hand, but the man was faster than her. Chris threw the gadget on Merry's bed.

Merry tried to get past Chris to reach her cell phone. She was only two steps away when the man caught her. Chris's arms were wrapped around Merry's slender neck, like a wrestler holding his opponent. He pulled her towards him and made Merry's back crash into Chris's broad chest. But unfortunately, Merry was barely aware of that fact.

"Brother Chris! What are you doing?!" Merry protested, tugging Chris's arm around her neck. She hadn't finished that round yet! Her team would lose if she didn't come back soon!

Chris ignored the young woman's protests. His arms moved around Merry's shoulders, but he still held the Hiroshi Family's daughter in his arms. Chris asked in a low, ice-cold voice, "How about you? What did you do when you were supposed to be studying?"

The man couldn't accept the fact that Merry was ignoring his prohibitions and was playing with other men. Merry even spoke to them in a sweet tone she never used when speaking to Chris!

Merry struggled violently, trying to get away from the man. Yet she couldn't beat the strength of a grown man. Finally Merry stopped struggling and glared at Chris.

"I'm playing a game! Didn't you see it yourself earlier?!" Merry replied impatiently.

Chris narrowed his eyes, "Have you finished reading your textbook?" He asked. He began to feel like a father nagging his daughter! Was this how Samuel felt every time Merry misbehaved?

"Yes!" Merry answered shortly, "So let me go! Get back to your game, Sister Christine! My brothers are waiting for me in the game!"

Christine? Hearing the call, Chris was momentarily stunned. Then he burst out laughter.

Chris tightened his hug and asked, "Did you see me typing earlier?"

The man was deliberately pretending to be a woman in the game so he could master the game as quickly as possible. Did Merry get jealous because he asked other players for help?

Unfortunately, Merry's next remark shattered the illusion in Chris's mind.

"Of course I saw it! Sis Christine still needs the protection of other pro players! Because Christine is the same 'noob' as Brother Chris! If I fight Sister Christine with my character, I can kill her dozens of times in one minute!" Merry replied fiercely.

Chris's body suddenly stiffened. This woman dared to mock him 'noob' again!

Merry was thinking about what other taunts she could throw at Chris when she suddenly turned her body. When Merry regained consciousness, she came face to face with Chris. The man's cold expression and bright eyes scared Merry.

He held Merry's cheeks with both hands and said, "Try saying that one more time." Chris's voice sounded like a beast's growl.

For a moment, Merry's heart was filled with fear. She had never seen Chris like this before. Merry opened her mouth to apologize.

But when Merry remembered how Chris played games with other people without her, the feeling of tightness filled her chest again. Merry felt angry because she had felt guilty. The man started all this!

"... Brother Chris is really a 'noob'." Merry murmured mercilessly.

Chris was at a loss for words when he heard this. Even after being threatened like that, Merry still dared to mock him ?!

The man pinched Merry's cheeks as punishment. He didn't dare to pull too hard because the woman's skin felt so soft and tender. Chris wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he accidentally hurt Merry.

"Ow!" Merry protested and beat Chris's hand, "Brother Chris! Let me go! It hurts, you know!"

"Forget it!" Even though he said that, Chris still let Merry go.

The young woman rubbed her cheeks while glaring at Chris. But the man turned around and picked up his cellphone. Then Chris walked back into the living room without saying another word.

"Brother Chris ..." Merry called him doubtfully.

She thought that the man would at least stop and turn around, but she was very wrong. Chris kept on walking, ignoring her calls. Chris's cold attitude began to panic Merry. The man wasn't really mad at her, was he?

Merry hastily caught up with Chris and stood behind the sofa. Her eyes widened as she watched the man exit his gaming application, "B-Brother Chris, you won't continue playing?"

Chris continued to ignore Merry, as if she had said nothing.

Merry was wringing her hands while looking at Chris in panic. That man had never ignored her before this! Had she crossed the line this time?

The young woman moved beside Chris and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Chris, talk to me!" Her voice was pleading.

But the man just turned around without words. He looked like a cranky child.

"Brother Chris!" Merry tugged the hem of Chris's shirt even harder, "Are you angry? I didn't mean to make fun of you like that!"

Merry waited for Chris's reply, but the man kept silent.

"Brother Chris, I was just kidding when I said you were 'noob'! Brother Chris is not a 'noob' at all! You are greater than that! So don't be angry anymore, okay?" Merry tried to persuade him.

But Chris's decision was unanimous. Instead of opening his mouth, he opened a website for purchasing international airline tickets on his cellphone. The man began looking for tickets to return from America to Indonesia.

Merry took turns staring at the man's cell phone's screen and Chris. Did he really intend to go home?!

The woman jumped to her feet and moved in front of Chris, "Brother, why are you looking at the return flight tickets? You've only been here a week!" She protested.

Chris ignored Merry and opted for a flight home at seven in the morning US time. His thumb loomed over to click the 'Order' button.

Chris's action made Merry even more panicked. She lunged at the man and tried to grab his cellphone, "I will not let you go!"

Chris didn't think that Merry would throw herself like that. He hurriedly caught the petite woman and made his own cell phone fall to the floor. But Chris barely glanced at his cell phone. He was more worried that Merry would hit something.

As soon as Chris caught her, Merry started beating the man in the chest, "Brother Chris, you are a liar! You said you would always accompany me! I don't want to live here alone!" She started to sob.

Chris stopped pretending when Merry started crying. He sat the woman on his lap and wiped her tears, "Why are you crying? I'm just tricking you. I'm not going anywhere." Chris said.

Merry's tears died down when she heard that, "…Really?" She whispered.

Chris nodded, "If you stop crying, I won't go." He promised.

Merry wiped her tears before glaring at the man, "If you lie to me again, I will hate you for life!" She threatened.

Chris stifled a laugh as he nodded again. He still felt a little guilty for making Merry cry. If Samuel found out about this, the man would have skinned him alive!

"Then, are you still going to play games with your new friends?" Merry asked him again.

Chris laughed at that. He cupped Merry's face with his hands and said, "No, I'll just play with you. Are you satisfied?"

After all, the only reason Chris played the game was to get closer to Merry!
