Chapter 993


    Out of the bathroom, Darnell put her on the sofa and pulled her hand.


    ine reflexively went into his arms and unconsciously chanted, "No, I don''t want to go back to


    Switzend."


    Darnell''s temples throbbed with his voice low and hoarse. "I''m not sending you back to Switzend. Let


    go first."


    ine sniffed and sobbed. "You lied. You''re all lying to me. I don''t want to go to Switzend. I have no


    friends there, and I can''t get used to the food. I''m really… Really homesick."


    She desperately wanted to escape when she couldn''t, but now she missed the ce where she used


    to grow up all the time.


    People were always contradictions.


    Hearing her crying, Darnell patted her back.


    iney on his shoulder, sobbing until her breathing gradually became steady, and she fell asleep.


    Darnell pulled her out of his arms and ced her on the sofa.


    ine seemed to be crying in her dreams with her face covered in tears.


    Darnell wiped it.


    ine obediently turned sideways and held his hand, pressing it against her face as she drifted off to


    sleep.


    He nced at her with his eyebrows twitched and immediately withdrew his gaze. His throat knot slid


    up and down.


    He sat there, staring out with an uncertain expression.


    After ine had fallen asleep after a long time, Darnell gently pulled his arm out and shook it slightly.


    ine huddled on the sofa, the neckline of her nightdress revealing her delicate skin, and her skirt hem


    was also rolled up, showing a small section of pink underwear.


    Darnell closed his eyes, put a nket aside on her body, and then carried her back to the guest


    bedroom.


    After covering her with the nket, Darnell straightened her hair strewn across her forehead.


    She was sleeping soundly, breathing steadily but frowning a little.


    In Darnell''s memory, ine had always seemed like a carefree little girl.


    Whether at the family gatherings or elsewhere, she would permanently hide behind her father, only


    tilting her head to look at him timidly.


    She was terrified of him.


    No one in the family was not afraid of him.


    From a very early age, Darnell knew well that he had be the devil used to scare the disobedient


    younger generation by the elders.


    ine had probably grown up in such an inculcation.


    Therefore, he expected that she would be opposed to their engagement.


    He had even arranged for her to follow rence and Ste to City N.


    However, he would never have imagined that the little girl who was usually so afraid of him would


    actually say she liked him.


    What he was doing now was already seen as a thorn in the side of the James family. Even though her


    grandfather and father remained neutral, they could not avoid being involved in this whirlpool as the


    family members.


    The James family would not let her go if others found out that ine had been around him. At that


    time, they would no longer be able to remain neutral, for they would be dangerous.


    This was also the reason why she would be sent to Switzend.


    Darnell got up after a while, picked up the bottles and sses on the floor and went back to his room.


    He stood in the bathroom and turned on the cold water for a long time before the boiling lust in his body


    gradually calmed down.


    Still, after turning off the water, the images of what had just happened uncontrobly returned to his


    mind.


    Darnell turned the water back on and propped himself up on the wall with one hand, breathing deeper.

    ine felt like the world was spinning, and her nose was stuffy when she woke up the next day, and it


    took her a lot of effort to lift the covers and sit up.


    She went into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water, instantly shivering and feeling more


    awake.


    After changing, she went downstairs in a daze, and just as she sat down at the dining table, the maid


    brought over the hangover soup. "Miss James, please drink it before eating."


    ine took it and thanked me before she realized, "How do you know I''ve been drinking?"


    "Master ordered."


    ine paused, and pieces of memory shed through her head.


    She seemed to have gone to his roomst night when she was drunk, but she remembered that she


    went back to her bedroom when she saw he wasn''t there.


    "Did he go out today?"


    The maid was preparing breakfast for her, "No, he has a bit of a bad cold."


    "Catching a cold?" ine was full of doubts, "Could it be that the temperature has cooled down


    recently?"


    "I think so. You can have breakfast now."


    ine put down the soup, "What about him? Has he had breakfast yet?"


    "He just told me to prepare the antidote soup for you but didn''t eat breakfast."


    "I''ll bring it to him."


    ine took the tray and hurriedly ran upstairs.


    Standing at the door, she knocked, but no answer, so she unscrewed the door handle and tentatively


    moved in.


    The curtains were drawn throughout the room, and it was very dark.


    ine didn''t know what she had bumped into on her way and her mouth opened wide in pain.


    It was hard to approach the bed. She put the tray on the bedside table and reached the wall light


    switch.


    She had wanted to tell Darnell to get up and eat when she saw him, but she couldn''t move her eyes.


    How could someone look so good even when they were sleeping?


    ine slowly sat down on the carpet and propped her elbows on the side of the bed, gazing at him.


    From his closed eyes, she saw the high nose and then the thin lips.


    ine''s gaze suddenly seemed to be scalded, and she hurriedly averted her eyes.


    After a couple of seconds, she saw back.


    Since he was sleeping so soundly, he shouldn''t wake up that easily, right?


    Perhaps it was because the alcohol had not yet wholly dissipated. ine sat up slightly and leaned


    forward, leaning closer to him.


    When her lips touched his warm ones, she almost jumped in fright.


    She turned her eyes sideways and quietly observed Darnell.


    He wasn''t awake.


    ine felt relieved, but she was unwilling to leave.


    She leaned forward a little more, turning her vague touch just now to a real kiss.


    She didn''t dare to stay too long since she was still afraid to wake him up, so she quickly sat back.


    She sat obediently on the carpet but couldn''t resist smiling as happily as if she was a kid who had


    stolen a candy.
