Chapter 44
Back to the room, Danae closed the door tightly, leaned back against the door, panting deeply.
Almost a month later, if Raymond didn’t show up again, she may really think… she would stay at home like this forever.
“Knock, knock…” Knock on the door came, let her eyes tremble, heard the person outside the door was Cyril-
“Danae, are you OK? Let me help you.”
He was naturally nervous. He also blamed himself just now. He didn’t notice that she had scratched her hand and was careless for a while.
She slowly opened the door and looked at the worried boy standing outside the door.
At that time, the throat choked up, and finally just shook her head-
“I can do it myself, thank you.”
Thank you
In the past half month, she had rarely said these two words to him. He thought that they were no longer strangers to be polite.
But why, at the moment she began to change back to the strange people?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Because--
Mr. Macaulay?
Now, his injury has healed. If Mr. Macaulay came to pick her up today, it would be… human nature.
After all, Macaulay family was her home.
But at the thought of here, he was lonely. Who didn’t want the girl he liked to see her all the time?
“Danae…”
In the end, he still failed to refrain and asked her:
“Do you… want to go back home?”
The implication was that it was because of him that she wanted to escape.
She came to this family to take care of him before. But it was only because of guilt and apology.
The girl did not speak, not admitting it, but not knowing how to talk to him and how to explain it.
… …
A game of chess has done.
Charlie looked at the chess and had to concede nodded:
“It seems that I am really old and confused.”
“You are humble.”
The last white one in Raymond’s hand fell, and the smile on his lips was gentle and elegant, but there was an invisible wild state.
Charlie still did not understand, who was his opponent in the game? If he was still young, he was not his opponent either.
Naturally, they were not just talking about chess.
“How are you thinking about Danae?”
This topic was inevitable. However, what Charlie did not expect was that in the hospital, when he asked Raymond for this girl.
Raymond hesitated, and the simple answer turned into silence.
“Although I adopted her, I don’t want to interfere with the choice of marriage.”
Danae changed into clean clothes. When she came downstairs, she heard Raymond’s words and her steps suddenly stopped.
Marriage?
“It seems that you have treated her well.”
Well? Raymond’s smile grew deeper and deeper. It was indeed good. Without holding her all night, he could not sleep well.
Danae followed Cyril downstairs. She kept her eyes hanging and did not dare to see the man.
“Danae, you uncle is also here, so tell us all your thoughts.”
Since Raymond did not want to interfere in the matter of the two children, the decision was still in her own hands.
“I…”
Danae raised her eyes, and she only felt acerbity in her heart when she saw Cyril’s warm eyes.
However, she also noticed that the cold feeling from the soles of her feet came from the deterrent of that person. How dare she say that she is willing?
“Is this shyness and dare not say?” Charlie squinted and smiled. Although he was old, but he could feel that this girl was not without feelings for Cyril.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been here for a month.
“Danae,” the man suddenly made a noise and her eyes dazed fiercely. The whole body also has a slight quiver.
“Tell me what you think.”
Raymond did not deny her the opportunity to say that if she really liked to stay here, then as an elder, he would naturally think of her “happiness”.
In the end, the girl’s answer was to shake her head.
There was no positive response, but this move also really made Cyril lose his mind.
She still didn’t want to.
The atmosphere condensed cold, for a long time, she just said:
“I’ll pack up my stuffs.”
… …
Finally, she still had to go back.
The suitcase when she came was the same as when she left. There was no more or less in it.
Behind her, there was the sound of closing the door.
She looked back and saw the man who came in clearly. Then her pupils tightened. Before she could speak, she was fished out of her arms by the man’s big palm and tightly clung to his chest.
“Raymond…”
“Shh--”
Raymond’s warm finger and abdomen were against her crimson lips, smiling frivolously, and the hand clasped on her waist began to lift restlessly.
Raymond’s move undoubtedly made the whole body get nervous. He…
This was not home!
What if someone saw it, what if someone came in!
“Smile.”
His long fingers clasped her lower jaw, forcing her to look at him. His words were plated with coldness.
Smile?
Did he want her smile?
She was too nervous to do so, but she did not dare to disobey him. Her mouth squeezed out a smile, but in Raymond’s view, the smile was not sincere.
“It’s not such a smile.”
The male hot breath was close to her lips, and the dumb voice formed an invisible net, trapping her. In front of her was his oppressive and almost suffocating sense of urgency, and behind her was the cold wall.
It’s not like this.
Just now, her smile to Cyril was rare in Raymond. It was so beautiful and full of youth. However, he had never seen it before. She never smiled at him like this.
Danae had been with him for ten years. How could she not notice what he meant?
There were tears in the eyes.
“Because it was me, you couldn’t laugh, huh?”
The warm kiss fell on her white neck in pieces. Danae wanted to push him away. But she understood that he was angry now. If she refused again, he would be angrier.
Just then, someone knocked at the door!
In a moment, her heart was beating quickly.
