Chapter 1708


    Three days had passed without any news from Irvin and the others.


    These days, I felt like I was walking on thin ice and slept uneasily every night. Every day, the only way I could fall asleep was by watching the video of


    my baby.


    In the middle of one night, I had just drifted off when I heard the creaking of the door downstairs. I woke up immediately, put on my coat, and ran


    downstairs


    By the time I reached the lobby, Rachel had already gone up the other flight of stairs, and the bodyguard was nowhere to be found. Irvin was the only


    one left in therge living room. He wore a ck cloak, and he had an aura of servitude about him. Just like when I first saw him here, he was staring


    at the portrait of Jesus on the cross.


    Hearing my footsteps. Irvin asked, "Why haven''t you slept yet? Are you waiting for me?”


    Irvin''s voice was soft and clear, revealing the joy within it.


    I didn''t want to be toc narcissistic with him, so I changed the subject. "It seems that you didn''t do well this time."


    "Are you hoping that''s the case, Arianna?” Irvin asked as he walked over to me like nothing had happened. "God won''t always be by Hendrix''s side.”


    He stopped in front of me, leaning forward slightly, and gave me a once-over. His humble and gentle face suddenly became more sullen.


    "But it doesn''t necessarily mean that I will stand on your side, does it?" I quietly swallowed, showing no emotion


    He wanted to see the worry and panic on my face. This was exactly what Irvin was looking forward to. I was not fooled by him.


    Irvin raised his eyebrows with interest and stood up straight as if he had heard a big joke. Then, he smiled and looked at me mockingly. "Not


    necessarily.”


    These few words showed how confident he was


    I was about to retort when Irvin suddenly turned around, seemingly uninterested in my reaction


    "You said you only met the child once before. You must be missing him, right? Arianna?"


    He had changed the subject so -.


    suddenly that I had no reason to


    ignorehis kindness. "Yes, I''m


    thinking about him all the time.


    When can I see him?" Content

    Irvin turned his back to me and tilted


    his head, looking emotionless.


    "Soon." "Hmph. "1 could not believe


    his words. now.’ "How long do you


    think is soon? One day? One month?


    Or oneyear? Do you know what it


    means to live like this for a year?


    Yau-said that you love me so much


    afd that I should choose you, but


    you tortured me by separating me


    from my flesh and blood. Is this


    what you call love?" Content belongs

    Irvin did not react. His tall and strong body stood as solid as a wall, reminding me that all hope was futile.


    After a long silence, Irvin finally said, "Arianna, you''re too greedy. It''s not good for you to be insatiable.”


    Before I could react, Irvin turned around and walked up the stairs


    At present, Irvin''s emotions were temperamental and unpredictable. I had no chance to take advantage of the situation


    I was a little discouraged and stood in the living room for a long time before returning to my room.


    I copsed on the bed and my drowsiness had disappeared entirely.


    Irvin''s easygoing attitude suggested that they hadn''t returned empty-handed, which meant that Hendrix might''ve been in danger at the moment.
