Chapter 22 Unexpected Call


    Upon hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Darren felt that his heart was having a spasm.


    He immediately hung up the phone without a second thought.


    Staring at his mobile phone for a long time, he suddenly burst into crazyughter.


    Although it was only a "hello", he recognized the voice.


    That was Horace.


    That was really Horace!


    ra was really with Horace!


    Darrenughed as tears almost fell from his eyes. Looking at the name "Baby" on his phone screen, he


    suddenly felt that name was so hard to look at.


    ra, ra...How much did I owe you in myst life? So in this life, you enjoyed so much torturing me


    in the way you did! You were already married, and you still chose to get entangled with other men. And


    why, that man had to be Horace!


    At the other end of the line, Horace put down ra''s mobile phone without any changes in his facial


    expression.


    "Who was that?" ra was still leaning on the seat, half-paralyzed and half numb from the alcohol


    intake. As her head was still not very clear, Horace answered the call for her when her phone rang.


    "It''s just a spam call," Horace answered back, still without change in his voice.


    "I see." ra''s head hurt too much to think about his words. All she could do is covering up her


    forehead with her hand.


    "How about your head? Still hurting?" Horace was still somewhat angry with her, but at this time,


    seeing ra''s delicate face frowning, his tone became involuntarily soft.


    "Yes," ra responded. Then she felt a pair of big hands reaching over and covering her temples.


    "Feeling better this way?"


    Horace caresses ra''s temple with his slightly coarse fingers. ra''s cheek was like burning that


    even Horace''s fingers felt a little bit cold.


    ra''s body stiffened slightly. Her heartbeat got faster for no reason. She moved away from her body


    and said, "I''m much better now. Thank you."


    But as she just moved away, Horace suddenly increased the strength in his hand to imprison her


    around him.


    "Don''t move." Horace opened his mouth. His voice seemed colder than usual.


    ra was a little stunned. She turned her head sideways and suddenly realized that Horace''s


    expression was a bit different than what it usually was. It seemed that he was angry about something.


    ra woke up a little from intoxication and began cautiously speaking, "Horace, you upset about


    anything?"


    It was obvious that he was because she was his wife. What kind of man would not be angry if his wife


    was molested by another man?


    "What do you think?" Horace asked in a cold voice. The temperature in the car seemed to drop several


    degrees all of a sudden.


    "Sorry," ra whispered.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    "So that is the only thing you would like to say?" Horace raised his eyebrows slightly.


    ra was stunned. Looking at Horace in front of her, she suddenly thought of something.


    "Don''t think too much about what just happened." ra got anxious and said, "I thought this was just


    an ordinary dinner. Who could''ve expected that Mr. Muller would be like this?"


    She was suddenly a little worried about this situation. She was afraid that Horace would misunderstand


    her as an easy girl, just as Darren did.


    Somehow, she was extra anxious about his feelings.


    Maybe it''s because Horace now was her husband and the only one who had given her warmth. The


    Horace looked at ra with a strange light in his eyes.


    "I know." He paused for a moment before he spoke. The tension in his tone seemed to have eased a


    bit.


    As soon as ra was relieved a little, Horace spoke again, "If there is an asion like this in the


    future, please don''t go again."


    ra nodded.


    ra was still a bit drunk at this time. Horace pressed her hand on her temple just with the right force.


    She felt very soothing andfortable so that she was slowly leaning towards his shoulders. Feeling


    that soft body on his shoulders, Horace''s body stiffened slightly.


    He looked down and saw the glow on ra''s face, her long eyshes trembling, her peachy juicy pink


    lips opened slightly.


    Horace''s heart skipped a beat.


    Subtle emotions seemed to be bubbling up, almost overflowing from his chest, which he could not deny


    even if he wanted to.


    "ra." He suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was a little lower than usual.


    "Well?" ra answered with a faint voice, and she looked up and found Horace''s face so close to hers.


    The distance between them was even less than five centimeters.


    "Oh, I''m sorry!" At this time, ra finally realized that she was leaning against Horace, so she hurried


    to sit up.


    Unexpectedly, Horace''s hand suddenly slid down her cheek and grabbed her chin.


    The next second, Horace lowered his head and covered ra''s thin lips with his own.


    The cold touch on her lips made ra feel that her head exploded with emotions and she woke up with


    just one kiss.


    Horace... kissed her? She could not believe it at all.


    When the bus arrived at the hotel, ra was already asleep.


    Horace held her up and walked to the room.


    After putting ra on the bed, Horace noticed that ra''s wrist was all red and swollen because Muller


    held her too tight in the conflict just now.


    Suddenly, his eyes turned as cold as ice. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.


    "Hey, Horace, what happened? Never expected that you''d call me. Can pigs fly now?" As soon as the


    phone was connected, there came a careless andzy voice.


    "I''m asking you for a favor." Horace''s tone was still very calm, but anyone familiar with him would sense


    that there was something dangerous hiding in him.


    "You ask me for a favor? That''s even weirder, man! But anyway, I''ll do anything for you. Just say it,


    bro."


    "I want you to help me fix someone." Horace''s voice lowered even more," He touched my woman, so I


    want him to suffer."


    ...


    When ra woke up, she had a splitting headache due to a hangover.


    As she struggled to sit up from the bed, she heard a low, sweet voice—


    "You awake?"


    ra looked up and saw that Horace was sitting next to the table in the hotel room. There was a table


    of hearty breakfast in front.


    "Horace?" ra was stunned for a while, and the memory ofst night poured into her mind.


    It seemed that she was molested by that Muller guy at the dinner party. Horace appeared in time and


    saved herself from that situation. When she was in the car with him, it seemed that they...


    Now having remembered that kiss in the car, ra felt that her face was burning up.


    "What''s the matter?" Seeing ra sitting still in bed, Horace asked again, "Are you feeling


    ra''s mind was brought back to reality with his questions, and then she looked up at him.


    Horace''s room was a deluxe suite. The sun shined outside the hugending window and fell on


    Horace. He was wearing a white shirt, and it looked like he was bathing in ayer of golden light. He


    looked indescribably elegant and divine, but his handsome and extraordinary face still looked


    indifferent, the same as before.


    This made ra have an illusion that the kissst night was just her imagination.


    "Yes, I am fine now." She smiled awkwardly and hurried out of bed, but when she got up, she was


    suddenly stunned.


    What she was wearing was a white shirt, apparently belonging to a man. The shirt covered down to her


    thighs.


    "This shirt..."


    "Don''t you remember?" Horace raised his eyebrows slightly. "Last night you were drunk and throwing


    up. I asked the waitress to change the clothes for you. Oh, it''s mine by the way."


    Phew, so it was the waitress that help her get changed.


    ra finally heaved a sigh of relief, but she did not know that all the changes in her expression were


    captured by this man.


    Horace''s lips were slightly crooked, but when he watched ra get up from bed, his throat suddenly


    tightened.
