Ch. 1021..1030

Chapter 1021 Did you ...... kiss me?

Hanging up the phone, Elaine nestled in the back seat and looked over at Darnell: "Is my dad going to be in danger?" Darnell said, "No."

Elaine lowered her eyes, her Uncle Caesar's last words before he left were definitely more than just a threat.

So that's it, as long as she doesn't leave Riverside City, her dad will be fine.

But if she doesn't leave, Uncle Caesar will use her again against Darnell .......

Elaine didn't know what she was supposed to do.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but touch her hand to the corner of her lips, feeling like she had just had a dream and still hasn't woken up yet.

At that moment, Darnell's voice rang out next to him, "Here we are."

Elaine subconsciously looked up and saw that the car was already parked in front of the hotel.

She pushed open the car door and stepped down.

Darnell walked her to her room and turned, "It's safe here, you can rest in peace."

Elaine nodded, "Got it."

I'm off, go to bed early.

Darnell had just turned around when Elaine tugged on his sleeve.

He spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong."

Elaine did not dare to look at him, her eyes fell on the hand that pulled him, and spoke to herself: "I know, I have always been very capricious and disobedient, if I had listened to my father and listened to you, Uncle Caesar would not have found me, and you would not have come to save me in order to make Uncle Caesar feel that I was important to you. I also know that you ...... my like means nothing to you, you have more important things to do, but nevertheless, I still want to make sure ......"

Darnell gazed at her, "Confirmation of what?"

Elaine mustered up enough courage to meet his gaze, her eyes still wet from crying, and with infinite expectation.

She spoke cautiously, "Did you ...... kiss me at the manor?"

The last three words, her voice was so small that only the shape of her lips could almost be seen.

Darnell raised his eyebrows unnoticed, "What?"

It's......

Elaine was too embarrassed to say anymore and reached out to point to her slightly puckered mouth as a gesture.

Darnell looked at her cute face, the corners of her lips curled up, leaned in and kissed her gently, then backed away a little and asked her, "Like this?"

Elaine's eyes widened with shock and disbelief, and with unstoppable joy.

It's real, it's not a dream!

Darnell saw her freeze, re-closed her eyes and took in her slightly open lips.

He kissed very softly, taking care of her feelings and emotions.

Nonetheless, Elaine felt her legs go weak, her brain lacked oxygen, and her hands lifted at some point and clutched the shirt around his waist.

A cluster of fireworks exploded in her mind in a beautiful dizzying display.

If the first two were slapdash light kisses, and could even barely be described as foreign social etiquette, now she was truly feeling that Darnell was kissing her. For adults, kissing.

After a while, Elaine's feet were really weak, and just as she was about to slide down, Darnell wrapped one arm around her waist and took her into his arms. Just then, Elaine's stomach rumbled twice.

With her head buried in Darnell's chest, she spoke with embarrassment, "I didn't eat dinner ......"

Darnell rubbed her head, "What do you want to eat."

Both are available.

Darnell said, "Sit and wait a while, soon."

Elaine nodded dutifully, "Good."

Darnell let her go, took a few steps to the living room, picked up the phone and ordered a hotel delivery.

Elaine sat in the sofa and quietly pursed her lips, a little numb.

Thinking about that scene just now, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, rising higher and higher.

Suddenly, the cell phone in her bag began to vibrate.

Elaine hurried back and picked up the phone.

Natasha's voice came immediately, "Elaine are you okay? My boyfriend ...... is not right, Brendon that bastard, what has he done to you?"

Elaine said, "I'm fine, he...... has some complications, I'm still a little dizzy in the head, I'll tell you when I've sorted it out, and you, how are you, have you arrived home yet?"

I arrived and your cousin sent me back, but it was a little embarrassing, my dad thought he was my boyfriend and snuck me out of the hospital to have some fun and scolded him. Elaine: "......"

Natasha said, "Say sorry to your cousin for me, and invite him to dinner next time."

Good. Elaine paused before saying again, "Natasha, Brendon he's actually......"

She spoke, somewhat tongue-tied, unsure of what to say to lessen the damage to Natasha.

Natasha said: "I know all, his nature has been exposed today, I will tell my father about this, my father will not let him go!"

Elaine talked to Natasha for a while longer before hanging up the phone with a sense of relief.

She put the phone down and looked up to see Darnell standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, talking in a soft voice to the other end of the line.

Elaine looked at it and became lost in thought, elbows on her knees, palms resting on her cheeks, staring at him with rapt attention, the joy and happiness rising from the bottom of her heart, she could not control it. Darnell probably noticed her eyes and looked slightly sideways.

Elaine was spotted and immediately averted her gaze sheepishly.

At that moment, the doorbell rang and the meal was delivered.

Elaine rushed to the door, said thank you and pushed the cart into the room.

Darnell had finished his phone call and was walking toward her.

He said, "I have something to do and I have to go, is it okay if you eat by yourself."

Elaine's original bright eyes flashed with a hint of loss, but then she quickly nodded, "Yes."

She absolutely, positively, will not give him any more trouble.

Darnell said, "Eat and rest early, don't take a step out of this room, and wait for me or your father to pick you up."

Elaine continued to nod and suddenly remembered something and took Darnell's hand: "You must never, ever agree to any of Uncle Caesar's demands, I will listen to my father and you in the future and will never run around or cause you any trouble, so don't you... ..." Darnell looked at her and spoke in a slow tone, "I know, you don't have to worry about that, get some rest early."

Then...... Elaine looked up at him, her eyes watery and her mouth puckered, "Goodnight kisses."

Just as she closed her eyes and waited, Darnell's kiss landed on her brow.

Elaine protested with discontent, "That's not how you just kissed."

You said it, goodnight kiss.

She pointed to her mouth again, "And what is this called?"

Darnell took a pastry and put it in her mouth, "Eat."

Elaine was caught off guard and had to swallow, but then reluctantly chased her to the door, quickly stood on tiptoe and kissed the cake crumbs on his face.

Chapter 1022 - Grab from my hand

Darnell pulled the door shut and was just about to leave when he looked up and saw Archer standing across the room, arms around his chest, looking at him with an uncanny look. Darnell ignored him and walked straight to the elevator.

Archer immediately followed up: "Eh, what's going on here, am I missing something important."

Darnell stood in front of the elevator and glanced at him, "You've got nothing to do, have you?"

Archer held up his hands to show he didn't mean to offend: "I was just asking off the cuff, and what's more, you're......

As he spoke, he pointed to the side of Darnell's face again, with a somewhat one-sided expression.

Darnell paused and suddenly realized something and raised his hand to wipe the cake crumbs off his face.

Archer leaned against the wall, lazily spoke: "Now the James family the situation, Caesar has pressed on, you now put her around, not afraid that there will be danger." Darnell said lightly, "Do you think that Caesar has considered sparing her."

But then again, in previous events, Caesar has been......

That was before.

Even though Caesar still has the last of his kinship in mind and will not do anything that would truly threaten Elaine's life, he will not let go of any opportunity that would allow him to achieve his goal. That car accident with Elaine says it all.

At this time, the elevator stopped, Archer followed Darnell inside and continued, "Do you think that there is someone else behind Carl besides Caesar, with Caesar's money chain, not enough to fight you." Archer said, adding, "Could ...... it be Justin?Wasn't his body not found either?"

Darnell said, "All of Justin's forces were uprooted by Clarence in South City, and after the New Coast project, he doesn't have that kind of money or energy to do that again."

Archer wondered, "So who else is there."

Darnell didn't answer, wondering what was on his mind.

He has a lot of enemies, but the James family can unite to do this, there are only a few.

Once out of the hotel, Archer left.

Darnell went directly to the McPherson family.

When Carl heard the news, he didn't even put on his clothes and hurried down from the second floor.

He stood in the living room and waited a few moments to sober up before snapping his head around and commanding, "Hurry up and get the young master and tell him to leave...... immediately now." Although the James family is now teaming up against Darnell, but in fact, they are taking what they need, if Darnell to hard, then no one can eat.

And no matter how many of the James family fell into his hands before, there is no good end.

Now that he came late at night, he had no time to call for help.

Before Carl could say anything, Darnell's figure appeared in the doorway.

Carl looked at him and grimaced: "Darnell, this is my house, and for you to barge in without saying hello is really ......

Darnell looked at him, his tone unmoving: "Really what."

Carl tensed his face, "Don't you just want to know who's behind me, now that you know the answer, why be aggressive."

Did Caesar ever tell you what you could get after he got THE James family.

Carl did not answer, when Caesar approached him, he promised that he would let Elaine and Brendon get married, and Elaine is Hilbert's only granddaughter, in the James family's status can be imagined.

So just remove Darnell, then the entire James family, will become his bag.

It was only during the night that Caesar suddenly changed his plans again and had Brendon take Elaine to meet him, a move that directly let Darnell know of their plans.

Even if he had wanted to stop it, it was too late.

After a while, Carl just opened his mouth: "If you are here for Elaine's matter, then I can tell you directly, Franklin and I have discussed and set the two children's marriage, Brendon wine today just took her to meet her Uncle Caesar only, this is our family matter, you ......" Darnell interrupted him nonchalantly, "Family matters, does Franklin recognize Caesar as his family."

Carl's face changed slightly, before Caesar did something, the whole the James family heart is clear.

He's not the James family anymore.

And Franklin for this brother, also long as he died.

Caesar the name for the James family, is a taboo, but no one will and interest over, the James family those people will only be in dealing with Darnell and Caesar to reach a unified goal and opinion, but as long as success, their next object to deal with, turn their heads is Caesar.

This kind of thing is clear in everyone's mind, but cannot be discussed in the open, so Caesar has always stood behind him, by him to complete a series of things.

If it is hard to say that Elaine see Caesar is a family matter, the James family side is not likely to agree.

After all, most of them who played inside almost died at Caesar's hands.

Carl said, "So what do you want?"

Darnell gently raised his eyes and looked at the person standing at the stairway, his dark eyes cold and stern, killing intent.

Brendon face has hardened quite a bit, clenching his fists.

He didn't believe Darnell could do anything to him in his home, but the fear inside him couldn't be contained when he thought of those uncles of THE James family.

Realizing what he was trying to do, Carl spoke again, "Darnell, this is the McPherson family, don't get too cocky!"

Darnell said, "Arrogant?"

He said these two words, extremely light, and even wrapped a few laughs, so Brendon heart a tremor, face instantly white.

At this time, Maple also ran out, obviously heard what they just said, yelling: "No matter what, Elaine is sooner or later to marry into our family, no need for you to stand up for her, Franklin will not agree, I ......'

Before her words were out of her mouth, a loud bang exploded in her ears.

As the voice fell, Brendon fell to the ground with a painful look, blood staining his leg.

Darnell lowered his gun and spat out words without any warmth: "Want to marry her, come grab from my hand, you try."

Maple reels from the shock and panics, calling out for someone while going to pull Brendon.

Carl was not expecting Darnell to shoot directly, and was afraid and angry: "Darnell!"

Darnell looked unchanged: "Tell Caesar that one more attempt to touch Elaine and I will have him killed." "You......"

Darnell handed the gun to the man next to him, "Don't worry, your son won't die, it's just a little warning and reminder."

Carl was already too angry to say what he was referring to, the time Elaine had her car accident, what they did.

Without even looking at Brendon again, Darnell turned and strutted away.

The room was filled with only Maple's screams and Brendon's moans of pain.

Carl looked at Darnell's back and gritted his teeth fiercely, his face was full of gloom, Caesar was right, they had found his weaknesses and vulnerabilities.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 1023 - You're still a kid yourself

About Darnell late at night into the McPherson family, and broke Brendon a leg this matter, before dawn, the whole the James family people know, they are some of this as deep as a taboo, some of the mouth of the pen, cursing him lawlessness, disregard for the James

family ancestors, even if it is dead also Even after his death, he could not enter the ancestral hall.

But scolding is scolding, the whole atmosphere of the James family has fallen into an unprecedented low and panic.

Darnell's methods are well known, if he was still mindful of his grandfather when he was alive, to explain his, to properly place the James family people, to he did not leave the slightest mercy, one by one to deal with the James family and he did those people, and then recklessly in the McPherson family, he walked the Every step, people have to be alarmed.

Who knows, who will be the next one he will deal with.

The James family united so far, are just barely able to fight with him, a single carry out, everyone will be at risk.

What's more, it's the McPherson family that's suffering.

In this way, the entire James family, instantly quiet, silent and Carl's distance.

Elaine slept until she woke up naturally the next day. She looked out at the sun and stretched out comfortably.

After sobering up for a while, Elaine picked up her phone and looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock.

At that moment, the doorbell rang and Franklin's voice came, "Elaine, are you awake?"

Elaine hurriedly lifted the covers and ran down, opening the door and saying, "Daddy!"

Franklin stroked her head, "Okay, pack up and let's go home."

Sitting in the car, Elaine thought about it or tentatively spoke: "Dad, did you ...... go looking for Uncle Caesar last night?"

Franklin silent for a moment before saying: "Elaine, you remember, he has long since ceased to be your Uncle Caesar, much less the James family, he is very dangerous, you must be careful when you see him in the future."

Elaine nodded gently, "You be careful too, Daddy."

Franklin smiled: "As long as you're okay, Dad is relieved."

Elaine skimmed her lips, hugged Franklin's arm and leaned on his shoulder: "Dad, you are the only family I have in this world, I don't want you to leave me, so you must must not be okay, and I will be good and listen to you very well in the future." Franklin patted the back of her hand and sighed wordlessly, "Elaine, the time Daddy can spend with you is limited, and you have your own life and future, so even if Daddy is gone one day, you have to be good....."

No, even if there is that day, it will be a long, long, long, long time from now, and Daddy will definitely be able to live a long life like Grandpa Tai. You still have to watch me get married and have children and become a grandfather. Franklin lamented, "You're still a kid yourself."

Speaking of which, Elaine slowly let go of his arm and sat upright, admitting her mistake with a good attitude, "Dad, I ...... I......"

She stammered for a long time before she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "I'm with Darnell!"

Franklin: "......"

Elaine didn't hear her dad's reply and, not without some fear, quietly opened one eye to observe his mood and attitude.

Franklin sat there, his face was not to say anything, just a little gloomy.

Elaine reached for him: "Dad, don't be angry, I really, really like him, and he has always taken good care of me and protected me, every time I was in danger, he appeared immediately, and he was very good to me......" After a while, Franklin spoke: "Elaine, Dad is not against you liking him, but......"

Franklin and Darnell is the same generation, although more than a dozen years older than him, but also counted witnessed how Darnell step by step to today, sitting in the James family head of the position.

And because of this, he knows all too well what kind of person Darnell is, what kind of means and drive he has, and what he wants.

Like such a person, walking over all the road, are stained with blood, and how is it possible, will be emotionally tripped up.

Elaine whispered: "Dad I know you are doing it for my own good, but...... but he is not exactly like what the outside world says, Dad, if he is really a big bad guy, you and Grandpa Tai would not have let me marry him in the first place, which is enough to show that, although it is very dangerous to be near him, he also has He has good ah."

Franklin was speechless for a moment.

Only then and now, long ago, not the same situation.

And only if he is still alive and Elaine has someone to lean on.

After a long time, Franklin spoke: "Dad promised you that he would not interfere in your relationship anymore, but Elaine you should also be clear that you are an adult and should be responsible for your own choices." Elaine nodded heavily, "I will."

Then promise Daddy that you will go back to Switzerland and continue to finish your studies, and when you come back, no matter who you are with or what you want to do, Daddy will not stop you.

Elaine frowned and didn't say anything.

Franklin said, "Elaine, you're still young, finishing school is only two or three years away, and he wouldn't care about this amount of time if he really liked you."

Elaine, however, shook her head, "Dad, I'm not......"

Uncle Caesar said she couldn't leave Riverside City without ......

Seeing her hesitation, Franklin knew she was worried about herself: "Elaine, as long as you're safe, Daddy will be fine."

But Uncle Caesar he said......

No matter what he said, it was all words to scare you, you still don't believe dad, you just finish your studies in peace, dad will go over to see you sometime, and still waiting for you to get married and have kids. Hearing him say that, Elaine just relaxed a little bit, she thought about it: "Then...... then I want to wait until after your birthday can I go."

Franklin's birthday is next month, twenty days from now.

He was silent for a moment and did not refuse: "Good."

Elaine immediately and happily asked for his permission, "Dad, can I go to Darnell in the meantime then?"

Franklin didn't have the heart to say, "You can't let go of me, or you can't let go of him."

Elaine re-embraced his arm and heckled, "I can't let go of either, but I can't let go of Daddy the most."

Franklin sighs, and can do nothing, this daughter, he can not stop at all, can only do his best, so that she suffers the least harm.

He said, "Elaine, he is surrounded by danger, if you really want to go to him you can also ...... keep a low profile and wait for everything until after you return from Switzerland."

I know, thank you Daddy, Daddy is the best!

Soon, the car stopped in front of the house.

Elaine was the first to get out of the car and ran towards the house, bouncing and jumping, her back revealing infinite joy and exuberance.

Franklin looked at her and just wished she could always be as happy as she was now.

Don't hate him when you know the truth.0000000

Chapter 1024 - What a beautiful girl

When Nicolas opened the door early the next morning, he saw Elaine standing there pacing back and forth, wondering how long she had been there. Nicolas froze: "Miss James ......"

Elaine greeted him with a smile, "Good morning."

Nicolas ushered her into the dining room, "Did Miss James have breakfast."

I've eaten. With that, she waved her hand again and said, "You don't have to mind me, I have an appointment with my friend to meet here, she will be here in a minute." Nicolas nodded slightly and poured a glass of water over to Elaine.

Just as he was about to leave, Elaine called out to him and spoke with some embarrassment, "That...... if I want to see him, should I do ah, wait for him here, or what?" Nicolas knew who she meant by "he": "Master of Riverside told me to contact his assistant if Miss James wanted to see him."

After a pause, Nicolas added, "Miss James, do you need me to get in touch now?"

Elaine first nodded and then shook her head immediately after, "Or you can ask his assistant for me if I can go to him if he's not busy, and if he is, forget it." "Okay, Miss James hold on a second."

Elaine sat in her seat and turned her head to look out at the river view, her mood as bright as the rising sun.

A few minutes later, Nicolas came over, "Miss James, the assistant said that Master of Riverside is meeting with a partner from Italy today and the schedule is full."

Instead of losing her face, Elaine's smile was bright: "That's okay, I'll come back tomorrow then."

She always waits for one, when he is not busy.

Then Miss James call me again if you need me.

Elaine sat there for an hour before Natasha came running over in a hurry.

She said, "Elaine sorry ah, I have been talking well for half a day before my father let me go out, you have been waiting for a long time, right?"

Elaine said, "No, I don't have much to do at home anyway."

Natasha ordered a glass of water, took a few sips to slow down and started to share with Elaine the first-hand news she just got: "By the way, did you know that Brendon is in the hospital!"

Elaine was stunned at the words and then shook her head, "I don't know, is it sick?"

Of course not. Natasha said, "My dad was going to settle the score with him, but instead he heard the news that he was in the hospital, according to reliable information ......"

Natasha said, lowering her voice, as if she was afraid of attracting wrongdoing: "He was broken a leg, that person is the James family family head, Darnell. elaine, I remember he should be your uncle, right?"

Elaine corrected, "He's not my real uncle, it's just a term of endearment."

Natasha nodded haphazardly: "That's not important, is he so terrible in the rumor or not? I heard that he looks tiger-backed, ugly, two meters tall, and can crush other people's heads with his bare hands, and there's more, he likes to eat raw meat and organs of animals, and also drink fresh blood ......

At the end of the day, she had goose bumps all over her body.

The version Natasha heard was actually similar to what she had heard before.

At that time Elaine had little concept of Darnell's looks, just felt scared to look at him, and not much contact itself, so naturally, it will be a variety of horror rumors strung together.

At the end of the day, that fear, then engraved in the memory.

Elaine held her cheek with one hand and stirred the milk tea in front of her with the other: "The rumors are false, he didn't look tigerish or two meters tall, but......"

Elaine thought for a moment and gestured, "It's pretty high too, I'm probably up to his chest."

She highlighted, "He's not ugly, he's super handsome."

Natasha is not convinced, she thinks Elaine has an "uncle" filter on this man who crushed someone's head with his bare hands.

Otherwise, if he is not as scary as rumored, how can he become the James family head.

Natasha echoed, "Okay, okay, you're right, let's go have fun this afternoon, just to take a break."

It didn't matter what Elaine did since she wasn't goingto see Darnell today anyway, she nodded, "Yeah, go somewhere."

An hour later, the two were standing face to face with tennis rackets in hand.

Natasha moved her wrist: "Come on, let's have a duel today. The usual rules, the loser then draws the dare."

Elaine said, "Let's get started."

They often come here to play when they have nothing to do before, and can exercise and relax.

Both girls are in their early twenties, wearing tennis sports suits and high ponytails, beautiful and energetic, attracting many people's attention for a while.

It also includes the two figures that just walked into the tennis hall.

Erickson said, "The request made by Master of Riverside, I will definitely check it out when I go back, and I hope we can succeed in this cooperation."

Darnell's eyes fell on Elaine and he gave a faint hint.

Erickson followed his line of sight and his eyes flashed with a touch of amazement as he murmured, "What a pretty girl."

Darnell glanced at him, "I thought you were here to pick up something."

Erickson, however, said, "Fate, it must be fate."

He was playing tennis here yesterday and left his watch behind. He was going to ask his assistant to obtain it, but ended up dropping by today when his meeting with Darnell was right next to him. Darnell ignored him and his eyes fell back on Elaine.

She seemed to have lost, her mouth slightly pouted, looking a little chagrined, her little face was red with heat, fanning the wind gently with her hand, but her look was pleasant.

Several emotions switch quickly on her face, natural and agile.

She always seems to be like this, always happy and forthright.

Darnell looked at her and the corners of his lips rose unnoticed.

Over there, Elaine lost and Natasha was rocking the phone app and picked a dare for her.

When the results came back, Elaine padded over to see them and Natasha read, "Look back and make a face at the person closest to you while saying 'I died a horrible death"."

Natasha said, looking up, "Eh, just in time, someone is coming our way, here's your chance."

Elaine thought long pain is better than short pain, immediately towards Natasha than an OK, then turned his head two hands cupped face, pulling the corners of the mouth, eyes squeezed into a slit, spit out his tongue and spoke: "I died ......" Halfway through her sentence, from her eyes, which were squeezed into a slit, she vaguely saw a familiar face.

Help!!!

She turned over completely without any hint of, reflexively.

Natasha's focus was all on Elaine, and was just about to ask her what was wrong when her eyes happened to glance at the man standing in front of them, and sense of oppression overwhelmed her.

It's not for nothing that Elaine is on the verge of running away, she wants to run away too!000000000000

Chapter 1025 - Then you'd better call me uncle

Elaine stood there, wanting to find a hole in the ground, he had gone to meet with the partner, why was he here?

Natasha also dare not look up, can only stiffly begin: "Sorry ah, we are playing a big adventure ....."

Erickson also came over at this time and spoke with a smile, "It's an honor to meet such lovely and beautiful girls like you."

He said, he took out his phone and continued, "Just see you guys play tennis well, I also like this sport, I wonder if I can add a contact, we can play together in the future.

Natasha was obviously a little stunned, waved his hand and refused with a dry smile, "No...... no need uncle ....."

Erickson paused, a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, incredulous out loud: "Uncle ...... uncle?"

He is only twenty-eight years old, how should not be the age of being called uncle by them, right?

Natasha pulled Elaine and ran, while waving at him, "Bye uncle!"

Erickson held out his hand to say something, but they had quickly disappeared into the crowd.

He looked reluctantly at Darnell: "That voice just now, Uncle, I think it was called you"

Darnell withdrew his eyes and glanced down at his wristwatch, "I've got things to do, so I'll leave you to it"

Erickson said, "I thought you didn't have anything else scheduled for today, I ......"

Before the words were out of his mouth, Darnell was already striding away.

He was left standing alone wondering about life.

Natasha and Elaine let out along breath after running to the dressing room.

Natasha said while holding her clothes, "It was really scary just now."

With that, she turned her head to look at Elaine next to her: "But don't you think, the man who didn't speak, looks so familiar,

I always feel like I've seen him there before.

Elaine hugged her clothes, didn't know what she was thinking, and unconsciously replied, "That time in the restaurant, you asked him for his contact information and were rejected by his assistant."

Natasha's eyes widened violently and his hands waved in the air excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember! That's him!"

Immediately after, she was full of fear: "I must have been lustful, how have the courage to want to add his contact information, his aura is too strong, I dare not even look at him:'

Elaine was afraid that Darnell had left and didn't want to change her clothes, so she hurriedly stuffed them into her bag: "Natasha, I'm going to go first, ah, see you next time"

Natasha thought Elaine was frightened, so she said, "Okay, then you take care on the way."

Elaine ran out of the locker room and searched the entire tennis court and didn't see Damell again.

She smacked her lips with some regret and walked slowly out the door.

As she passed through the hallway, she went to the water vending machine and bought a bottle of mineral water.

But just playing tennis handles are playing out of energy, how can not be unscrewed.

Just when she was at a loss, the water in her hand was picked up.

Elaine looked up, her eyes instantly filled with light: "You didn't leave"

Darnell unscrewed the water and handed it to her, "What's the run."

Elaine knew that he was referring to what had just happened on the tennis court.

Her little face flushed and she took the water with both hands, her mouth slightly beaming, "I feel too ashamed....."

What is more socially dead than losing a game and making a face on a dare in front of the person you like.

And still without a little mental preparation.

Darnell said, "You've been to the restaurant?"

Elaine nodded as she sipped her water and screwed on the cap: "Your assistant said you were meeting with a partner, so I

came to hang out with Natasha"

Darnell was silent for a moment: "Next time, call me directly"

Elaine's eyes lit up a bit more, then restrained herself, "But in case you're busy"

"If I can get a call from you, I'm not busy.

At those words, Elaine's face lifted into a smile, Good. At that moment, she heard Natasha's voice coming from far away, drinking in a strange man's conversation. Elaine looked around, quickly took the water in her arms, and pulled Darnell to the side to hide in the safe passage."

The whole action was clean and crisp in one fell swoop.

After hiding, Natasha and the others walked right up to where they had just been.

Elaine then realized that the man next to her was the same one who was with Darnell earlier.

Erickson said, "Do you and your friends come here often to hang out?"

Natasha replied, "Occasionally, uncle, where are you from, you speak Chinese well."

Erickson took a deep breath and kept his smile, "I'm Italian, my mother is from Riverside City and she taught me Chinese." After a pause, he still added: "I should not be older than you by a few years, otherwise you'd better call me brother."

Natasha said blindly with her eyes open: "Oh, but I'm only 17 years old this year eh, brother how old are you?" Erickson: "......"

It wasn't a weekend or a holiday to see them here, so Erickson naturally assumed they were all at least in college.

But it looks like both girls are really quite young.

He was silent for a while: "Then you'd better call me uncle"

Natasha suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth and said in a serious manner, "Okay uncle. Then my friend's contact information, do I still need to give it to you." Erickson stiffened: "No, you two study hard, uncle go away:

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and left.

Natasha made a yes motion to his back.

Elaine saw the scene and the corners of her lips lifted.

Natasha is so good at tuming people down.

When Elaine withdrew her gaze, she realized that the lights in the hallway had dimmed.

And she was lying in Darnell's arms.

Etaine titted her head, blinked, and said in a very small voice, "Is that the partner you met with today."

Darnell gave a low hmm.

Elaine exhaled, "Then it's a good thing we hid fast, or it would have been bad if he saw us."

My father said that we have to keep a low profile, and ...... and in case he knows our relationship, he threatens you in turn, then you are not going to eat a good big loss.

Elaine is now especially afraid that Darnell will be because of her, and thus be the James family people to hold, so even Natasha, she has not revealed.

Although this is a little sneaky, but as long as she can be with him, then she is already very satisfied.

Darnell raised his eyebrows slightly, "You mean, all the time from now on?"

Elaine thought for a moment, "My dad said that when I finish my studies and come back from Switzerland, he'll leave me alone, and then we can be together in a proper way! So can you wait for me for three...... no, two years at the most. Her tone was full of sunshine and aspirations for the future.

Darnell placed his hand gently on her back and lowered his voice a few notches: "Good"

Chapter 1026 You're impulsive this time

The surrounding light is very dark, without a trace of light.

Elaine stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss Darnell when he wasn't looking.

Which i know did not judge well, the brain hit his jaw.

She let out a sigh of pain, and just as she was about to retreat, her waist was wrapped around someone.

The next second, her back was against the wall.

Before Elaine had time to react, a faint tingle came to her lips.

Unlike the last gentle kiss, Elaine could clearly feel that his force had increased and she was almost out of breath.

Elaine unconsciously clutched the shirt around his waist and just when she felt like she was going to suffocate, he fet go of her. After along time, Darnell said, "Elaine, at all times, the choice is yours."

She can come to his side and he will clear all obstacles.

You can also return to a quiet life, away from the James family's strife.

Elaine, her breath slightly panting, whispered, "I will always choose you."

Darnell held her with emotion on his face, overshadowed by the silent darkness.

She was like a ray of sunshine, desperately squeezing into his world.

But on the contrary, there are always people who try to put out the light.

Therefore, he could not give her any promises.

After leaving the tennis stadium, Elaine sat in her car and fell asleep on Darnell's shoulder.

She held her hand tightly around his arm as if she was afraid he would suddenly leave.

It wasn't long before Damell's cell phone rang and the person on the other end said, "Master of Riverside, your mother wants you to come back now."

Darnell answered faintly.

Hanging up the phone, he looked sideways at the young girl next to him and spoke, "Franklin should be planning to send her to Switzerland, bring up the arrangements and don't let the James family get anywhere near her, especially Caesar."

The assistant in the front row nodded and was silent before saying, "Miss James once she leaves Riverside City. The latter words, he did not say, but it is obvious.

Once Elaine leaves, Franklin's situation will be dangerous.

Darnell didn't say anything and looked out the window.

Franklin has his own choices and beliefs to uphold.

No matter what the outcome, he will live and die with the James family.

Elaine was still sound asleep until she was brought home.

Darnell laid her down on the bed, tucked her in again, and stared at her for a long time before turning to leave. the James family.

Christine Underwood sits in the living room with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and her eyes closed.

It was not until the sound of footsteps came from the door that she slowly opened her eyes.

Darnell stood next to her, "Mother wants to see me for something?"

Christine gestured, "Have a seat."

She poured her tea, I heard that you took a shot at THE McPherson family."

Darnell sat across from her and gave a faint hmm.

19

Christine added: "the McPherson family although the family is into the James family, but this person, ambition and means

are not simple, since he can be under your nose, unite the James family people together against you, and can cooperate with the

foreign forces. I know you well, you should find out what people are behind him before uprooting them."

Damell's thin lips are pursed and silent.

Darnell, you've been impulsive this time. Christine spoke slowly, "Is it for that girl Elaine.'

Darnell did not answer, just said: "Behind Cari is Caesar, he has pressed on, Carl is now in trouble, the entire the James family no one dares to help, the effect is the same."

But who is behind Caesar again, now I'm afraid even you, are not sure

Christine continued: "Since you started on this path, I know that every choice you make is well thought out, and you are

carrying on your shoulders, not only your grandfather's will, but also the future of the whole the James family. So I don't want to see

you get emotionally involved, and I don't want you to lose everything you've gotten before because of this.'

"Of course, as your mother, I hope more than anyone else that you can marry and have children, have your own family, and

be happy and joyful. But what you are walking, is originally a one-way bridge, and with one more person, the bridge will collapse and

your heart will be in chaos. Compared to that, I would prefer that you live well"

If her presence, one day, threatens your life, then I won't keep her either

Darnell said, "She'll be in Switzerland in a while, your worries are unwarranted."

Christine guffawed, "That would certainly be best.'

She paused and added, "I'm not against you being with anyone, but you have to remember that you can't give your heart away"

Darnell gently raised his eyes and looked at his mother, his tone unperturbed: "So you let her marry me because you were sure I wouldn't develop any feelings for her, right?"

Christine did not deny: "Elaine is just a little girl, you watched growing up, when her grandfather and I set up your marriage, but also follow your grandfather's will, want to use your relationship, to maintain the balance of the James family, now no longer need."

Darnell got up: "Il understand what you are saying, but she is an individual, she can call off her engagement because she doesn't want to be tied down, or she can do whatever she wants to do because she likes it, none of this is an excuse for you to arrange to manipulate her life, much less hold me hostage with her life."

Christine sniffed, lost his smite: "I am your mother, I said only a few words alone, you think, I am using her life to blackmail you, that if she fell in the hands of the James family people, or even those who want your life ......

You just need to stop holding onto that idea and I'll take care of everything

Christine sat there for a long time before speaking, "Darnell, I just don't want you to follow in your father's footsteps again"

Darnell said, "No."

Seeing his attitude so determined, Christine sighed: "Let's see, when she comes back from Switzerland, if you still like each other, I will never stop you, by then, the Riverside City side of things, there should also be an understanding."

Hearing this, Darnell but just a smile.

Both Franktin, and his mother, mentioned this statement.

That's because they both knew that Elaine would never return to Riverside City.

Even if she comes back, it is no longer possible for her to run to him as righteously as she always does now.

As for him, it was the same idea.

Half the time, Darnell spoke: "Mother rest early, the James family will not have any more movement in the meantime."

Christine frowned slightly, "They're plotting something."

Next month, the Franklin birthday party.' Darnell said, turning his head to look at Christine, I'd like to ask Mother to do me a favor"

Christine nodded, "Go ahead."

Go see Franklin once before the birthday party

"You ......

If he can be convinced to leave Riverside City with Elaine, Mother should be able to rest a little easier"""

Christine responded, "Darnell, I didn't mean that......"

Chapter 1027 May I be in your dreams

Darnell said, "Mother is right, I choose to be a one-way street, and a man like me should not have any ties, so when the time comes I will send Mother away with them." After he finished, he gave a slight nod to Christine and then left.

Christine watched his back and let out along sigh.

She got up and went out of the hall and walked to the back garden.

Christine chose a rose and placed it on this side of the statue.

Here her husband is buried.

Darnell's father, when he was less than three years old, died at the hands of an enemy.

Initially, Christine hated and resented, and even locked herself in her room for a while and refused to come out.

Since then, Bancroft James has taken Darnell under his wing, grooming him to be the next head of the James family.

After Christine came out of her grief, she put all her hopes on Darnell and told him more than once to avenge his father's death.

On the day Darnell turned eighteen, he managed to get his revenge.

Since then, Master of Riverside's reputation has been a scandal to all.

Over the years, Christine has silently watched this son, step by step, get to where he is today, accomplishing what his father never did.

She also understands that being in this position, if you are not ruthless to others, then others will be a thousand times more ruthless to you.

Darnell's father was a living example of that.

So she can betroth Damell to take a woman he doesn't love.

But do not want to see that he hesitates and hesitates for anyone.

Once he has a concern in his heart, he will never be able to make a decision as fast as before, he will first worry about the person who is most important to him.

It can also give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Christine stroked the statue and silently poured out these concerns to her husband in her mind.

Elaine slept straight through the night. She opened her eyes, looked out the window at the dark sky, stretched out, her head was drowsy, and for a moment she thought she was dreaming in the middle of the night. Elaine had just tried to lift the covers and get up when she felt her arms were sore and weak, obviously from the after-effects of exercise.

She rolled around in bed for a while longer and picked up her phone breathlessly to find that Natasha had sent her a number of voices.

Natasha: "Elaine did you get home yet, let me tell you, when I got changed and went out, I met the guy who just asked for

our number, I told him we were only seventeen and his face became so wonderful, he laughed me to death"

Natasha: "Elaine are you tired, I'm lying in the sofa now, I don't want to move at all, my arms and legs are so sore, it seems that I still have to go to exercise regularly, when we go again ah."

The next few sentences after that are daily chatting and trolling.

Elaine replied to her as she went into the bathroom to wash up.

She was also wearing a tennis sports suit with a high ponytail, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a 17 or 18 year old high school girl.

Elaine took a bath or her arms and legs were still sore, so she simply soaked in the tub and stretched her meridians.

Not long after, the maid knocked on the door, "Miss, you haven't eaten dinner yet, I've prepared fruits."

Elaine responded, "Bring it in"

The maid walked in and placed the fruit plate on the small table next to where she was.

Elaine played with the bubbles on the water, "Is my dad back."

The servant said, "His Lordship has not yet"

Elaine thought for a moment, "So Darnell was the one who carried me back when I came back?"

The maid nodded, "Master of Riverside has sent Miss back twice."

Elaine had an even brighter smile on her face and even hummed happily.

When the maid left, Elaine quickly climbed out of the bathtub, wiped the water off her body, put on her pajamas, and ran to the bed, took out her cell phone, adjusted her sitting position to clear her throat, and dialed a video call to Damell. The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

Are you still busy at this late hour.

Elaine beamed and was just about to put the phone down when the phone rang.

tt was Darnell who called.

She immediately picked up and said happily, "Are you done?"

Darnell said, "Well, awake from your nap?"

Since he dialed a voice call, Elaine lost her image and collapsed on the bed: "I woke up from a nap, I just took a shower, but my arms are so sore, I have no energy, it's like being run over by a big truck" Darnell: "....."

He said, "Where did you go to learn these adjectives."

Elaine blinked and flopped back on her pillow, not betraying Natasha: "Don't remember where I heard that"

Darnell said, "Get some rest early and get up after a good night's sleep"

But I can't sleep, I've been sleeping all afternoon.

Then take a towel and put it on hot.

Elaine whispered, "I can't twist it.'

On the other end of the phone, Darnell paused: "Want to go to the hospital."

Elaine quickly shook her head: "No, no, just leave it like this, I used to have sore hands after playing tennis, but I'll be fine after a while, this time I guess I haven't played for too long"

She whispered, "Just stay with me for a while"

Damell said, "You tell me."

Elaine stared at the screen, "Can you turn on the video?"

I'm taking a shower

Elaine's eyes instantly lit up with more anticipation: "Then I can watch......"

Can't

Elaine pouted and fell back on the bed, thought about it for fear he might misunderstand or tried her best to find a remedy,

I just wanted to see your bathroom, not the other way around

Darnell was worn out by her: "Elaine, you're a girl."

Of course I know I'ma girl, I'm just ...... curious about it. With that, she immediately said, "Curious about what your bathroom looks like.' "You didn't come in for a visit"

Halfway through the conversation, some dead memories suddenly began to attack her.

Elaine does remember that she slept in his bathtub when she was drunk, but the memory of the latter has long been a blur,

where so clear.

She justified it by saying, "I forgot."

Immediately after, a further request was made, "So can I visit again?"

What the hell, always reject her.

She muttered in a small voice, "You say you can't can't every time, so what is can.

Darnell glanced at the clock: "It's time for you to go to bed"

Elaine was going to say she wasn't sleepy, but then she thought that although she wasn't, Darnell should be.

She compromised quickly, "Okay then, good night. May your dreams be filled with me."

After hanging up the phone, Elaine collapsed on her bed, clutching her phone and giggling.

She was so happy that she hit her head on the wail, which made her grin in pain, but she couldn't control her desire to laugh.

So this is how it feels to be in love.

On the other hand, Darnell held his phone, thought for a moment, then retied his half-unbuttoned shirt, grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.

Chapter 1028 I usually wear black

She slept too long in the afternoon, causing Elaine to lie in bed and toss and turn, unable to sleep.

She plays with her phone for a while, and then looks at the ceiling and giggles.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a "Duk Duk" sound coming from the window.

Elaine sat up instantly and looked straight over.

It's the middle of the night, it's not haunted.

Soon, this rang again.

Elaine slowly lifted the covers, gathered enough courage to walk over, her hands faster than her brain, and pushed open the window.

An evening breeze came in with a few cool breezes.

In the distant sky, the moon is bright and shining.

Elaine leaned over the windowsill, not seeing anything different around her.

The sound just now, it is estimated that the wind blowing the window issued.

Just as she looked up to admire the stars dotting the night sky, a low male voice came from next to her: "Is it pretty?"

Elaine was startled and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound was made.

Damell leaned against the wall, his eyes resting on the direction she had just looked.

The shock on Elaine's face was instantly replaced by joy: "Why are you here!"

Darnell turned his head to look at her, "Keep your voice down."

Elaine sniffed, immediately nodded in agreement, covered her mouth again, leaned forward a little, came to his ear, and tepeated in a very small voice: "Why are you here?"

Damell said, "Do I have to stand here and tell you"

Elaine realized he was still outside the wall, with a fifty centimeter wide step at his feet.

She immediately said, "I'll go find a stool."

Elaine turned around, searched the room, and eventually went to the checkroom to get a narrower stool, but by the time

she got it back, Darnell's figure was already in the room.

Elaine saw this and threw down the stool and lunged at him.

Darnell caught her and gently rubbed the back of her head: "I'm tired and sore and have no energy, but I'm still running so fast"

Elaine head buried in his arms, arms clinging to his waist: "Can't move now, that was just...... a flashback" Darnell: "..."

After standing like that for a while, Darnell said, "Go sit down while I look at your hand"

So Elaine dutifully let go of him and sat down in the couch.

Darnell sat next to her and picked up her right arm and straightened it: "Hold it tight."

Elaine tightened her grip and heard him say again, "Let go."

After repeating this several times, Darnell asked her, "Is that better."

Elaine said, "It doesn't seem to hurt as much, but I'm still sore and I don't have much strength."

Immediately after, Elaine said seriously again: "You hug me just......" well.

Before the last two words could be uttered, Darnell had already gotten up and headed for the bathroom.

Elaine sat in the sofa, and after a few seconds, she suddenly remembered something and rushed into the bathroom.

Darnell was standing at the vanity, running hot water, when he saw her hurrying in and asked, "Bring me a towel"

Elaine nodded while keeping a smile on her face and moving toward the side, where her changed underwear was still hanging on the shelf, right next to the towels.

I's a good thing Darnell was adjusting the water temperature and didn't look this way.

Elaine pulled off the towel and underwear at the same time, then put her right hand behind her back, lifted her left hand and asked, "Is this okay."

The whole action was done in a flash of lightning.

Resulting in her body again being one step ahead of her brain.

Darnell turned his head to look at her and was silent for two seconds, "No."

Elaine wondered why not, didn't he say towel......?

Slowly, her eyes fell on the raised left hand.

Then the whole face was instantly red, why is this one holding underwear ah, and still...... small strawberry.

Elaine immediately hid her underwear behind her back, handed out the towel in her left hand, and stammered an explanation, "I...... [just took the wrong one, is this...... this okay?"

Darnell hmmed and reached out to take it.

After giving him the towel, Elaine immediately ran out of the bathroom and tucked her underwear under the covers. Soon, a voice came from the bathroom, "Elaine."

She responded, "Coming coming coming-"

Elaine ran in again in a hurry.

Oarnell carried her to sit on the vanity and wrung another hot towel for her arm.

The temperature of the towel was a little high, and Elaine couldn't help but shrink back: "Hot....."

Damell held her arm down: "Bear with it, or it will hurt again tomorrow."

Elaine's mouth puffed out and she didn't say another word.

Before long, the towel was no longer warm.

Darnell re-wetted it, wrung it out, and continued to apply it to her.

After so many times, the area of Elaine's arm was already red.

When Damell went to wring the towel again, Elaine blew on the skin of her arm, remembered what seemed to be, could not help but speak: "Actually...... lusually wear black" Damell's voice was low: "Hmm?"

Elaine's little face flushed and she looked at him seriously, "That's, the one you just saw, I usually wear black."

He turned his head and met Elaine's innocent, moist eyes.

Darnell reapplied the towel to her: "Does it matter what color it is"

Elaine said frankly, "Of course, black means mature and sexy, I don't want you to think I'm childish"

Darnell silently hooked his lips: "Elaine, compared to the color, I think what you should worry about is whether you're wearing it now.'

Elaine: °?"

Is she actually not wearing it.

Elaine jerked her head down and suddenly remembered that she was wearing a camisole pajama after she came out of the shower.

tn your own room and going to sleep, which will think about going to wear underwear.

Thinking about this, she reflexively, raised her hand in front of her chest.

Damell removed the towel, and without looking down at her neck from the beginning, he said, "Well, it's time to go to bed"

Elaine thought about it and still asked, "Do you think my breasts are a little ...... small?"

Darnell: ""

His temples jumped and he looked her straight in the eye, "I wasn't looking"

Elaine argued: "Then you must have felt small before you didn't look, I ...... I will also secondary development."

Darnell couldn't do anything about it, and only after a long time did he say, "Go to bed."

Elaine said, "Is it possible that you'll go away when I fall asleep."

I'm leaving even if you don't fall asleep.

Elaine's mouth pouted: "So you can't spend more time with me when you're here for once, and my dad is not here anyway."

Darnell raised his hand and rubbed her head, and after a few seconds of silence, his voice trailed off, "Elaine, be a good girl, it's late, go to bed."

Elaine's heart churned as she listened, unable to refuse and pleading again in a small voice, "Then can you wait until I fall asleep."

Chapter 1029 What do you want to do then

Lying on the bed, Elaine covered the lower half of her face with the covers and quietly looked at the man sitting in the couch, closing her eyes again in a hurry when he noticed.

Darnell's long, slender legs were folded and he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Sleep well."

Elaine simply pulled the covers down: "But I really can't sleep."

With that, she sat up and moved inside, generously patting the spot beside her: "If you're sleepy, I can share the bed with you in half.'

Darnell: "....."

He was just about to speak when his phone rang.

Darnell picked up and the caller said, "Master of Riverside, Miss Ariel has left the hospital."

At that, Darnell just lightly hmvmed, "Got it"

And Elaine heard Ariel's name, skimmed her mouth, gently lifted the covers, and walked over with bare feet step by step. Elaine was already standing in front of him when Darnell hung up the phone.

Elaine whispered, "Are you going to get Ariel"

No going. Darnell looked at her with sore headache, "Go back to bed......"

Before he could say anything, Elaine had taken advantage of his inattention and sat with her feet apart on his lap, leaning her entire body in his arms and blinking, "Can I stay awake?"

Damell looked at her, a dark tide under his calm dark eyes, his voice was low, with a few imperceptible rasps: "So what do you want to do."

Elaine stared at his thin lips, then boldly moved closer, gave a quick kiss, stepped back a bit, and tentatively asked, "Is this okay?"

Darnell's eyebrows twitched and his gaze met hers without speaking.

Elaine was a little embarrassed by the look, blushed slightly, and kissed again with her eyes closed.

With the first two experiences, she is still very raw about kissing, but she has also mastered the initial skills.

She stretched out the tip of her tongue and gently licked his lips, but her teeth could not control the force, and almost bit herself several times. How is it so hard to kiss.

When she was about to continue at a different angle, a force came around her waist and Darnell snapped her into his arms, dominating the kiss in a moment. Unlike Elaine's stuttering nibbles, he easily pried open her teeth, took her lips and tongue, and went deeper step by step.

Elaine wrapped her hand around his neck and responded instinctively.

This time and place, are more ambiguous than in the past, the kiss is also inevitably more excessive.

Elaine felt herself teetering on the edge of suffocation several times, and she felt her whole brain was giddy and burning all over.

Darnell kissed the comers of her lips, working his way down and finally landing on her shoulder.

A feeling in Elaine's body that she had never felt before began to slowly ferment and spread to all her limbs.

In her throat, she couldn't help but let out a thin, soft whisper.

Darnell moved with a slight tensing of his body.

A few seconds later, he quickly pulled over the thin blanket next to the couch and covered her tightly.

Elaine's eyes were full of mist, obviously not yet reacting, her eyes looking at him in confusion, tilting her head in disbelief.

The corners of Darnell's lips pursed straight, the knot in his throat rolling up and down as he tried to calm his tone, "It's time for you to go to bed"

But the voice is really hard to hide the low voice.

Noticing his desire to get up, Elaine clutched his shirt, her tone resigned, "No, you promised to wait until I fell asleep."

Are you sure you have any intention of sleeping tonight?

Etaine's small mind was detected, she did not retort, lowering her fingers to play with his shirt buttons: "Anyway...... anyway, you promised me, just can not go."

As she spoke, she pampered herself and rubbed herself against his arms.

Darnell's lips tensed a little tighter, his palm clasped her leg, and he whispered a waming, "Don't move again."

His palm was hot, and Elaine just wanted to say something, but felt that the place where she was sitting, next to her thighs, even through the fabric of the suit, seemed hotter ...... Although Elaine has always been straightforward, but in the end is a little girl, more or less intimidated.

But at the same time, what came to her mind was what Natasha had discussed with her last time, the question of whether it hurt or not.

She looked at Darnell and spoke with embarrassment, "About how much it hurts, if it hurts just a little bit I can tolerate it, if it hurts a lot I probably need a little wine......"

Darnell closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Shut up"

Elaine lay on his chest, tiny disappointed, "Oh."

After two minutes, she looked up from Darnell's arms again, her eyes watery, "Do you still mind if I have small breasts"

Darnell's temples jumped straight up, "No.

The smile on Elaine's face widened: "So, do you like touching my boobs?"

He met her gaze, and his gaze contained a few moments of danger.

Elaine immediately dropped her head and leaned back into his arms: "After my dad's birthday, I'm going to Switzerland, I probably won't be able to come back until I finish my studies, can you come and see me? No need to often, just...... occasionally, when you have time, three months, six months, more than a year...... I will miss you very much."

Darnell put his hand on her back and was silent.

Elaine hugged his waist tightly and spoke again to herself, "It's okay if you're really, really busy, I can probably still hold on until my studies are done, but in the meantime, don't fall for anyone else, okay?"

Darnell whispered, "Elaine, as I said, the choice is always yours."

But I hate making choices, much less before you and my dad

Darnell said, "I'm not going to let you make that choice"

The smile on Elaine's face intensified, and her head rubbed against his arms as she slowly closed her eyes.

It didn't take long for Elaine's even breathing to come through.

Darnell let out an inaudible breath, picked her up and moved forward, gently placing her on the bed.

As he tucked her in, his eyes fell on her fine white neck.

That's the mark he left not long ago.

Darnell looked away sideways, his jaw slightly tense.

His mother was right, he was indeed more impulsive than ever when it came to her.

In any respect.

The more this happens, the more he can't keep her around.

When Damell left, he took the same path as before.

He had just arrived in the garden when he saw Franklin standing there with a cold face.

Damell stopped and nodded slightly at him.

Franklin was furious, and did not want to wake up the others, lowered his tone and said angrily: "Darnell, you tang a the James family power grasp, you...... you can actually do such a thing as flip the window! You are not afraid to spread the word to be laughed at!"

Darnell looked the same, but his manner was much gentler and more polite, and spoke slowly: "You should not spread the word."

Chapter 1030 Luckily you came last night

Franklin nearly spit out two mouthfuls of biood: "I...... you really opened my eyes. Elaine she would have been ....."

Don't worry, I didn't do anything

Franklin grunted coldly and threw his hands behind his back.

He wouldn't have just waited downstairs if he didn't know that Darnell the man was in and out.

Darnell said, "It's late tonight, so I'll come back and visit another time"

After the words, he nodded again and left.

Waiting for Darnell's figure to disappear from sight for a long time, Franklin reacted, how did he just call him, you?

Franklin was once again exasperated.

He's really good at downgrading himself.

However, the next morning, when Franklin saw the marks on Elaine's neck, or anger rubbed off to the top of the head, what

the progress and retreat are all bullshit, Darnell can climb his window in the middle of the night, into his daughter's room, there is a hell of a face and bottom line.

Elaine drank milk while yawning, sleepy-eyed, watching her father's face change ugly to the naked eye, puzzled, "Dad,

what's wrong with you?"

Franklin didn't just poke her and embarrass her in the end, but eased up: "Elaine, you....."

The words came to my lips, but I didn't know how to say them for a while.

Elaine's mother died early, Franklin has always been more indulgent towards her, like a lot of private issues, he let the family maids teil her, but this kind of thing, where can let the maids know.

Seeing that he didn't finish the rest of his sentence for half a day, Elaine was full of confusion: "Dad, what are you going to say:

Franklin held his breath and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing, let's eat"

After eating, Elaine was still sleepy and ready to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

She slept straight through until noon, when she was awakened by a rustling noise coming from outside her window.

Elaine pushed open the window, and before a yawn was complete, she was stunned by the scene before her.

The garden downstairs, which has been turned into a large pond, is covered with small barbs on the fifty centimeter wide steps outside the window.

And Franklin was standing a short distance away, directing the construction.

Elaine instantly came to her senses: "Daddy, what are you doing?"

Hearing her voice, Franklin looked up: "Didn't you always complain about the summer heat before? Now that it's almost summer, tum this place into a pool, it can be much cooler and the air should be fresher"

Elaine looks at the little barbs: "So these....."

Franklin did not change his face: "Summer is here, there are many wild cats scurrying around, which will disturb your rest."

Elaine propped her arm on the windowsill: "But I'm going to Switzerland next month.

it doesn't affect it, so come downstairs for lunch when you wake up.

Elaine responded and took out her phone again to take a picture and send it to Darnell.

Elaine: [Fortunately, you came last night, my father suddenly changed the pool downstairs today, a pity oh.

On the other hand, Darnell received her message and raised his hand to the comer of his forehead, losing his smile a little.

In the meeting room, the senior executives who were reporting their work held their breath at the sight: "Mr. Jiang, is there something wrong with this proposal?"

Darnell put down the phone, his expression returned to normal, and spoke lightly: "Nothing, continue"

After the meeting, the assistant walked up next to Darnell and whispered, "Master of Riverside, Miss Ariel is waiting for you in her office."

Darnell hmmed and lifted his leg forward.

In the president's office, Ariel sits on the couch, her face still sickly white.

When she saw Darnell enter, she stood up.

Darnell sat across from her, "You shouldn't have been discharged early"

Ariel slowly sat down again and pulled her lips into a smile, "I heard that you took on the McPherson family. Why?"

Darnell looked at her, his gaze cold for a few moments, "You're the second person to ask me that"

Ariel paused, her smile a little astringent: "Then that's a good indication of how surprising this move of yours is."

She put on the sofa hand clenched: "Do you know, Elaine is the James family put out a bait, you do so is into their trap, they once know with Elaine can blackmail you, that ......

They can try.

Ariel is Instantly a little powerless: "Yes, now the James family has no one dare to do so, but what about the others, you have so many enemies, if they know, have you thought about the consequences are what, do you want to give up for Elaine ......"

That's enough. Darnell interrupted her in a cold voice, "I've thought through the consequences since I did this. I'm not going to put her in danger or give them the opportunity to blackmail me."

Ariel opened her mouth for a long time before she spoke, "I didn't expect that you would make this choice in the end."

She had thought that was the end of it when Darnell sent Nicolas to Switzerland.

But to my surprise, that was just the beginning.

Darnell's tone was waveless: "Go back to the hospital."

Ariel looked at him again, "If Elaine had really fallen for Nicolas back in Switzertand, would you have regretted it"

No regrets.

I'm lucky if I get it, I'm lucky if I lose it.

In the days that followed, every time Elaine went out, the family maids found different excuses to follow her.

At first Elaine really believed it, but more and more, and realized what.

When she returned in the evening, she found Franklin and said with some anger, "Dad, why do you always let them spy on me and restrict my travel"

Franklin looked at the book and spoke slowly and leisurely: "I didn't ask them to spy on you, it's just that it's not convenient for you to carry your own things when you go out shopping, wouldn't it be better to have someone to help you?" "But there are bodyguards following me."

They get too close to you and you recoil.

Elaine protests, "That would repulse me too!"

Franklin closed the book: "Elaine, they didn't restrict your travel, and neither did I. You can see whoever you want, and Dad didn't keep you from going."

But...... but it's inconvenient for me when you're like this......

Why is it inconvenient?

Elaine was speechless for a moment, unable to speak.

Franklin said, "Well, if you feel inconvenient, just stay at home, what you want, Dad let people send you, you can also invite friends back to play, Dad is not opposed to."

Elaine twisted her head: "You clearly said before that I could go see Darnell, just keep a low profile, and now you are clearly not wanting me to find him, you are doing it on purpose!" Franklin did not change his face: "You can go ah, Dad did not say, you want to see anyone."

Elaine couldn't talk him out of it, so she stomped her foot and puffed up and went back to her room.

Seeing her like this, Franklin finally showed a satisfied smile.

A few moments later, the smile on his face finally closed up, took out the letter and pen pressed under the desk, and continued writing.
