Chapter 1045


    “Nuh–uh, no way!”


    “Good girl!”


    The room was shrouded in darkness. A sudden gust of wind at midnight disrupted the moon and the


    sparse stars, causing the moonlight to fade. Dark clouds shrouded the young girl’s beautiful body,


    pushing the night into an abyss of darkness.


    The wind raged for an hour, and it started to rain at 3 am.


    The nocturnal rain erased the swelter and restlessness of summer, soothing the unease, bringing


    boundless relief, making one feel joy even in their dreams.


    It seemed that Estelle heard the rain, but it could have also been a figment of her imagination. She


    simply didn’t have any spare senses to feel the world outside. The rain continued through the rest of


    the night.


    As dawn approached and the wind gradually ceased, Estelle could finally hear the rain clearly. She


    could finally close her eyes, utterly exhausted.


    She had many dreams, all sorts of dreams. It was as if she was dreaming of her childhood when her


    foster mother scolded her, beat her and pricked her fingers with a needle because she had identally


    broken her brother’s toy.


    She dared not cry because if she did, her father would kick her.


    Being kicked by a grown man could make her gasp for air for a long time, the near–death experience


    scared her to death.


    Suddenly the courtyard door opened, and a tall figure appeared, driving away her mother and father,


    protecting her.


    She raised her head to see his face, but tears blurred her vision. No matter how hard she tried, she


    couldn’t see his face clearly.


    In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared. She anxiously searched for him, straining her eyes to see


    him clearly, but could only see his blurred figure gradually walking


    away.


    She stood there nkly, seeming to hear her foster mother’s loud scolding again.”


    The scene shifted back to the abandoned factory where she and herrades were surrounded by the


    enemy, trapped in a small warehouse.


    Gunshots and explosions filled her ears, Wolf stood before her, covered in blood.


    She desperately wanted to rush to save him, but Jonathan rushed over and grabbed her, “E!“:


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    She turned back in panic, only to see Manley behind her. His face was covered in blood, but he was


    smiling at her, “We will definitely survive!” __“Baby!”


    Estelle suddenly opened her eyes, her head throbbing and dizzy, her whole body weak.


    Jonathan frowned at the girl, lifted her from the thin nket and ced her on hisp, stroking her face


    gently, “Nightmare?”


    The girl was not fully awake, her eyes confused, her body weak, she moaned softly and copsed on


    his shoulder.


    Jonathan gently kissed her face and said softly, “You need to eat something now, okay? We’ll sleep


    after eating.”


    He picked up the mushroom and cream soup next to him, scooped a spoonful near her mouth, and


    said softly. “It’s delicious, try it!” Estelle obediently opened her mouth to drink the soup with her eyes


    half–closed.


    “Good girl!”


    Jonathan’s movements were gentle, feeding her spoon by spoon.


    Her smooth skin was covered with light bruises, like jade covered by the spring rains of March, broad


    and moist..


    Jonathan’s breathing gradually became heavy. He put down the empty bowl, let the girl ?it sideways on


    him, and leaned down to kiss her.


    Estelle tilted her head back, her arms tightening involuntarily around his neck.


    Holding her waist, he kissed her as they walked towards the French windows.
