Hanging up the phone, Elaine nestled in the back seat and looked over at Darnell: "Is my dad going to
be in danger?"
Darnell said, "No."
Elaine lowered her eyes, her Uncle Caesar's last words before he left were definitely more than just a
threat.
So that's it, as long as she doesn't leave Riverside City, her dad will be fine.
But if she doesn't leave, Uncle Caesar will use her again against Darnell ......
Elaine didn't know what she was supposed to do.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but touch her hand to the corner of her lips, feeling like she had just
had a dream and still hasn't woken up yet.
At that moment, Darnell's voice rang out next to him, "Here we are."
Elaine subconsciously looked up and saw that the car was already parked in front of the hotel.
She pushed open the car door and stepped down.
Darnell walked her to her room and turned, "It's safe here, you can rest in peace."
Elaine nodded, "Got it."
"I'm off, go to bed early."
Darnell had just turned around when Elaine tugged on his sleeve.
He spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong."
Elaine did not dare to look at him, her eyes fell on the hand that pulled him, and spoke to herself: "I
know, I have always been very capricious and disobedient, if I had listened to my father and listened to
you, Uncle Caesar would not have found me, and you would not have come to save me in order to
make Uncle Caesar feel that I was important to you. I also know that you ...... my like means nothing to
you, you have more important things to do, but nevertheless, I still want to make sure ......"
Darnell gazed at her, "Confirmation of what?"
Elaine mustered up enough courage to meet his gaze, her eyes still wet from crying, and with infinite
expectation.
She spoke cautiously, "Did you ...... kiss me at the manor?"
The last three words, her voice was so small that only the shape of her lips could almost be seen.
Darnell raised his eyebrows unnoticed, "What?"
"It's ......"
Elaine was too embarrassed to say anymore and reached out to point to her slightly puckered mouth
as a gesture.
Darnell looked at her cute face, the corners of her lips curled up, leaned in and kissed her gently, then
backed away a little and asked her, "Like this?"
Elaine's eyes widened with shock and disbelief, and with unstoppable joy.
It's real, it's not a dream!
Darnell saw her freeze, re-closed her eyes and took in her slightly open lips.
He kissed very softly, taking care of her feelings and emotions.
Nonetheless, Elaine felt her legs go weak, her brain lacked oxygen, and her hands lifted at some point
and clutched the shirt around his waist.
A cluster of fireworks exploded in her mind in a beautiful dizzying display.
If the first two were slapdash light kisses, and could even barely be described as foreign social
etiquette, now she was truly feeling that Darnell was kissing her.
For adults, kissing.
After a while, Elaine's feet were really weak, and just as she was about to slide down, Darnell wrapped
one arm around her waist and took her into his arms.
Just then, Elaine's stomach rumbled twice.
With her head buried in Darnell's chest, she spoke with embarrassment, "I didn't eat dinner ......"
Darnell rubbed her head, "What do you want to eat."
"Both ...... are available."
Darnell said, "Sit and wait a while, soon."
Elaine nodded dutifully, "Good."
Darnell let her go, took a few steps to the living room, picked up the phone and ordered a hotel
delivery.
Elaine sat in the sofa and quietly pursed her lips, a little numb.
Thinking about that scene just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, rising higher and
higher.
Suddenly, the cell phone in her bag began to vibrate.
Elaine hurried back and picked up the phone.
Natasha's voice came immediately, "Elaine are you okay? My boyfriend ...... is not right, Brendon that
bastard, what has he done to you?"
Elaine said, "I'm fine, he ...... has some complications, I'm still a little dizzy in the head, I'll tell you when
I've sorted it out, and you, how are you, have you arrived home yet?"
"I arrived and your cousin sent me back, but it was a little embarrassing, my dad thought he was my
boyfriend and snuck me out of the hospital to have some fun and scolded him."
Elaine: "......"
Natasha said, "Say sorry to your cousin for me, and invite him to dinner next time."
"Good." Elaine paused before saying again, "Natasha, Brendon he's actually ......"
She spoke, somewhat tongue-tied, unsure of what to say to lessen the damage to Natasha.
Natasha said: "I know all, his nature has been exposed today, I will tell my father about this, my father
will not let him go!"
Elaine talked to Natasha for a while longer before hanging up the phone with a sense of relief.
She put the phone down and looked up to see Darnell standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,
talking in a soft voice to the other end of the line.
Elaine looked at it and became lost in thought, elbows on her knees, palms resting on her cheeks,
staring at him with rapt attention, the joy and happiness rising from the bottom of her heart, she could
not control it.
Darnell probably noticed her eyes and looked slightly sideways.
Elaine was spotted and immediately averted her gaze sheepishly.
At that moment, the doorbell rang and the meal was delivered.
Elaine rushed to the door, said thank you and pushed the cart into the room.
Darnell had finished his phone call and was walking toward her.
He said, "I have something to do and I have to go, is it okay if you eat by yourself."
Elaine's original bright eyes flashed with a hint of loss, but then she quickly nodded, "Yes."
She absolutely, positively, will not give him any more trouble.
Darnell said, "Eat and rest early, don't take a step out of this room, and wait for me or your father to
pick you up."
Elaine continued to nod and suddenly remembered something and took Darnell's hand: "You must
never, ever agree to any of Uncle Caesar's demands, I will listen to my father and you in the future and
will never run around or cause you any trouble, so don't you... ..."
Darnell looked at her and spoke in a slow tone, "I know, you don't have to worry about that, get some
rest early."
"Then ......" Elaine looked up at him, her eyes watery and her mouth puckered, "Goodnight kisses."
Just as she closed her eyes and waited, Darnell's kiss landed on her brow.
Elaine protested with discontent, "That's not how you just kissed."
"You said it, goodnight kiss."
Elaine: "......"
She pointed to her mouth again, "And what is this called?"
Darnell took a pastry and put it in her mouth, "Eat."
Elaine was caught off guard and had to swallow, but then reluctantly chased her to the door, quickly
stood on tiptoe and kissed the cake crumbs on his face.
