Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Chapter 993

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

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

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

Elaine sniffed and sobbed. "You lied. You're all lying to me. I don't want to go to Switzerland. 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 place where she used to grow up all the time.

People were always contradictions.

Hearing her crying, Darnell patted her back.

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

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

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

Darnell wiped it.

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

He glanced 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 Elaine had fallen asleep after a long time, Darnell gently pulled his arm out and shook it slightly.

Elaine 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 blanket aside on her body, and then carried her back to the guest bedroom.

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

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

In Darnell's memory, Elaine 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 become the devil used to scare the disobedient younger generation by the elders.

Elaine 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 Clarence and Stella 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 Elaine 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 Switzerland.

Darnell got up after a while, picked up the bottles and glasses 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 uncontrollably returned to his mind.

Darnell turned the water back on and propped himself up on the wall with one hand, breathing deeper. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

...

Elaine 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."

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

"Master ordered."

Elaine paused, and pieces of memory flashed through her head.

She seemed to have gone to his room last 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?" Elaine was full of doubts, "Could it be that the temperature has cooled down recently?"

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

Elaine 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."

Elaine 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.

Elaine 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?

Elaine 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.

Elaine'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. Elaine 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.

Elaine 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.
