Chapter 5

Wyatt immediately shut his mouth after Sean's rebuke. He then watched as Sean got out of the jeep and pulled open the door. It was then that he noticed there was another pretty girl sitting inside the vehicle and understood he had misunderstood. Wyatt quickly shook his head. "My sincerest apologies, Captain Horton. I thought that the girl outside the jeep was your fiancée." "Be more watchful of your words. Take Ms. Wendy to the restroom," Sean ordered him with a warning. "Yes, sir." Wyatt promptly turned to follow Sean's order, feeling a little hurt. He hadn't expected that beautiful, angelic Wendy to not be Sean's fiancée. The girl inside the jeep was also pretty. She looked kind and lovely, but her looks weren't a good match with Sean's. She looked more like a younger sister to him. Even if both girls were to stand side by side, Wyatt would still think that Wendy was Sean's fiancée instead. Wyatt scratched his head in embarrassment as he approached Wendy. "Sorry about this, Ms. Wendy. Let me take you to the restroom instead." "It's alright. My little sister Xyla is actually Captain Horton's fiancée, and I'm just here to follow them to Bellmire for school." Wendy didn't mind Wyatt's mistake. This made Wyatt's embarrassment grow. He found the situation a little odd, though. Usually, families would arrange for their eldest children to get married first. So, why was the younger of the girls engaged to Sean? The only reason Wyatt could think of was that Wendy was already engaged to someone else. So, Sean had no other choice but to marry the younger sister instead. Wyatt found it to be a pity. "Sean, I… wish to go to the restroom as well." Xyla didn't want to go to the restroom, but she wanted to let the others know that she was the one that Sean was engaged to. "It's getting late. There are restrooms on the train." Sean glanced at his watch. Xyla's leg injury hindered her from using the restroom. "I can go by myself." Xyla's leg injury had already healed, and all that was left now was a singular scar. Even if she didn't bring this up, this fact would be discovered once the doctors in Bellmire City examined her. "Alright. I'll get Hadrian to take you there." Sean still had an important phone call to make. Xyla's face fell. She thought that Sean would take her to the restroom, but she really couldn't hold it in anymore. So, she let Hadrian lead her to the restroom, hobbling behind him. When Wendy left the restroom, she saw Xyla slowly heading toward her with one of the officers. She pretended to not see them. Instead, she kept her head down and walked away briskly. Wyatt noticed this as well. He wondered why Sean wasn't the one accompanying Xyla, especially since her leg was injured. It seemed that Wyatt would not be calling Xyla Sean's wife for a while. They probably hadn't even made any plans to get their marriage officially registered yet. The train roared into the station, and the crowd at the platform rushed over to board it. They all had luggage of some kind. Some only had backpacks while some had suitcases. Some had brought their entire family with them, and some also had pets with them. Sean looked around for the sisters. All of a sudden, someone crashed into him from behind. A pair of soft arms then wrapped around him. It all happened so quickly that Sean was caught off guard, despite being a hardboiled military man. He had never been touched by another woman, especially when he rarely got to speak with the opposite sex. Sean stood ramrod straight as he immediately stiffened. He quickly turned around, only to see Wendy's face pressed against him. Her lips were soft, and her breath tickled his back. Instantly, his mind was thrown into chaos. "Release me at once," Sean intoned coldly as his face darkened to terrifying levels. He hadn't expected Wendy to attempt to seduce him here at the train station before they could even make it to Bellmire City. Her thoughts and actions were dirty and deplorable. She was practically easy. Wendy hadn't expected the man that she grabbed was Sean. He was so tall that she had grabbed onto him to steady herself from the crowd surging around her. "Behave yourself! And cleanse your mind of all those impure thoughts you have!" Sean shot her a steely look. Wendy crashed to the ground. Wyatt moved to help her up, but then he tripped over a passing child. "I'm sorry. That was an accident." Wendy looked exasperated as she sat on the ground in pain. An accident? The sheer cheek Wendy had to wrap her arms around him in broad daylight in a public space. She had an angelic and friendly face, but she still had to resort to such underhanded tactics. Sean shouldn't have agreed to help Wendy transfer to Bellmire City. He couldn't fathom what kind of trouble she would get into once she arrived there. "Quiet. Keep your distance from me and my subordinates starting from now. If you once again violate my personal boundaries, I will send you back immediately," Sean warned harshly. He was not playing around. If Wendy's father hadn't saved his own father's life all those years ago, Sean would have marched Wendy over to the police station so that she would rethink her actions. "Please don't be angry, Sean. I think it's just because of her crush on you. There are others around us, so please, don't yell at Wendy. Can you forgive her just this once for me?" Xyla pleaded. Before this, Xyla quickly returned to the platform when she heard the train just in time to spot Sean pushing Wendy away. She then crouched down next to Wendy, despite her injured leg. "Please don't make Sean uncomfortable, Wendy. You'll only tarnish your own reputation. I'm willing to step aside so you can have Sean." Although Sean was furious, he still made sure to control his voice as he rebuked Wendy. Combined with the noisiness of the station, no one knew exactly what had happened. All they saw was Wendy getting pushed away by Sean after she hugged him. However, now that Xyla deliberately said that out loud, everyone thought that Wendy was after her own sister's fiancé. They thought that she had resorted to desperate measures just to steal him away. They were disgusted by Wendy, especially since Sean was a military officer. There was nothing he could do about this. "Tsk. How could such a pretty young thing be so shameless as to steal her own sister's man?"
