Chapter 458 Are You Really Going to Leave Me Behind?
I hesitated, every fiber of me wanting to say no, but I moved closer, standing by Idris’ side and
reaching out a reluctant hand.
He gave a small, tight-lipped smile, his brow furrowing. "Is that how you help someone up?"
Something was off, and I could not shake the feeling.
Holding back my annoyance, I stooped to help him stand. No sooner was he on his feet than his
towering presence slumped against me, almost sending us both tumbling. I steadied him, my brow
furrowed in concern. "Idris, stand up straight!"
From above, his lowugh trickled down,ced with a hint of sarcasm. "Oh? Not Mr. Young today?"
I did not bite and just kept him upright as we made our way out of the VIP room. He was a mess,
staggering and bumping into things. Whether he was putting on an act or genuinely stered, it
was a nightmare to deal with.
When we finally got to the car, I opened the back door for him, but he stood there, stiff as a board. I
looked up to see his face set in a frown of displeasure.
"What''s up with you?" I asked, trying to maintain myposure.
"I''m not sitting in the back."
Typical diva move!
I was that close to giving him a piece of my mind, but I reined it in, opened the front door, and
practically shoved him into the seat.
Once I was in the driver''s seat, I saw him leaning back, eyes shut. I did not bother with chit-chat and
fired up the engine. After thest time he got wasted and went on a wild chase, I was not taking any
chances. We only stopped for lights, and I made a beeline for Clearwater Residence.
It was way toote to drop him at the old manor without waking up Madam Young, so Clearwater
Residence it was.
I parked and nced his way. He was still out of it, eyes closed. I waited a few minutes, but he did
not budge. "We''re here," I said, breaking the silence.
No reply.
I bit my lip and tried again, "Idris, we''ve arrived."
He was giving me the silent treatment again. With no other option, I stepped out of the car, circled to
the passenger side, and swung the door open, ready to help him out. However, the moment my
hand brushed against him, he yanked me towards him.
I jumped back, a little freaked out, and shot him a frown. Our eyes locked in a surprise showdown.
"You... " Faking sleep? That was just low.
He did not even flinch under my re. He casually swung his long legs out of the car and reached
out to me, "Lend me a hand, will you?"
I bit my lip, standing my ground, and snapped, "You''re not helpless. You can stand. Why should I
have to pull you up?" It''s not like the sports car had seats so low he could not get up by himself.
He arched an eyebrow, peering at me. "So, you''d help me if I were really paralyzed?"
I was at a loss for words.
His logic was beyond me.
Tired of the back-and-forth, I grabbed his hand to pull him up. However, Mr. Annoying had other
ns. He pulled me into a bear hug and stood up, his tall frame leaning heavily on my shoulders.
"Escort me to the bedroom," hemanded.
I was sure he was doing that on purpose.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Biting back my annoyance, I helped him navigate back to his second-floor bedroom. Everything was
just as it had been left, untouched and familiar. It had the same decorations, nts, and lived-in
feel.
I dumped him on the bed and was about to make my exit.
However, out of nowhere, he wrapped his arms around me from behind. I tried to wriggle free, but
he pinned my hands, immobilizing me. That guy...
"Idris, you..."
"So, you''re really going to walk away from me, huh?" His voice was a raspy whisper, his breath hot
on my ear, his face pressed against my neck.
I was rooted to the spot, the harsh words I was about to hurl got choked back, and a wave of
heartache crashed over me, leaving me mute.
He leaned in close, his breath warm on my neck and his voice a raspy whisper, "When did you start
thinking about ditching me? Everything was good in Tully City, so what''s with the sudden change of
heart? Is it because of Lucas? Or maybe Alice? Yvette, whatever it was, just tell me. Let me have
some peace of mind, will you?"
