Ch. 1031..1040

Chapter 1031 My dad just doesn't agree right now

Although Elaine went to Franklin's protest did not help in the slightest, but in turn, it gave her a new idea.

She arrived at the mall early the next morning.

The maids also dutifully followed her.

Elaine sat in the mall, and not long after, Natasha came too, and the two held hands and went into the women's clothing store.

While they were choosing their clothes, the maids followed along.

Surprisingly, however, Elaine took a dress and handed it to her: "Bianca, try this on."

The maid was slightly stunned, then said, "No Miss, I.....'

Elaine stuffed the clothes into her hand and said sincerely: "Try it on, yesterday my father also told me that you follow me all day long, it's too hard, let me not be capricious, I thought about it, I really don't know how to behave this time, and give you a lot of trouble, so this is a little bit of my heart, you must accept it"

Elaine saw her concern and added, "Bianca, don't worry, I won't run away while you go to change, I swear, whoever runs away is a puppy."

Natasha also nodded next to agree: "Bianca you just go, I am here with Elaine, you do not have to worry"

After the two of them took turns lobbying, the maid reluctantly agreed.

Despite Elaine's repeated promises, she was still not quite sure. She quickly changed and came out, and was relieved to see the two of them still there.

Elaine said, "Bianca, you look great in this, so I'm going to pay the bill"

The maid was a little embarrassed and let her guard down: "Miss, actually, it's not necessary, I....."

The use of the use of the use

Elaine said as she headed for the cash register while giving Natasha a wink.

Natasha immediately understood, and then shouted: "Fire, fire, everyone run!"

The originally quiet store was instantly in chaos, with everyone rushing toward the door.

Elaine and Natasha catapulted away as fast as they could.

The maids tried to go after them, but were scattered by the crowd.

A quick effort, the store staff shouted, "Everyone calm down, there is no source of fire, no need to panic"

The maid ran to the door, the sensors on her clothes sounded an alarm, and the staff immediately stopped her.

Hello, this dress of yours Miss James has just checked out, but the sentimental device on it needs to be taken off, please follow me to the cashier

The maid had no choice but to watch Elaine and Natasha's figures run away with just a few words.

Exiting the mall, Natasha and Elaine stopped to catch their breath.

Natasha was tired: "Why did your father send someone to spy on you, what did you do?"

Elaine shook her head, "It's hard to say a word about this."

Natasha tsked: "It's not like you're in a relationship behind your father's back, but your father doesn't approve, so that's why you have people following you every inch of the way."

Seeing her silence, Natasha almost jumped up in excitement, "I guessed it?!"

Elaine was not good at lying and could only nod with a red face.

Natasha said, "Quickly, quickly, quickly tell me what the situation is ah, how you never told me before, who is the other party, do I know?"

Just...... Elaine whispered, "I don't know if it's considered an acquaintance, I can't tell you yet la, wait for some time, must be the first to tell you."

Natasha also did not press further: "Then, okay, but...... handsome or not, ah, you progress to which step?"

Smiling, Elaine's mind uncontrollably recalled the events of that night.

Her face instantly went red, and even her ears were hot.

Elaine nodded while stammering, "Progress into...... is.......

kissing it......

Natasha further asked, "What kind of kissing, sticking out your tongue?"

Elaine took her hand and digressed, "Come on, let's get out of here, they'll be chasing us out in a minute"

Seeing her like this, Natasha kind of understood.

Curiosity filled her instantly.

What kind of man could make Elaine fall in love and even make her father go out of his way to send someone to spy on her?

Natasha thought for a while, as a person who has learned from the past, but still spoke firmly: "Elaine, you still remember Brendon, right, I was in a relationship with him behind my father's back, and I didn't expect him to be a scum, so do you want to still..."

Elaine understood what she meant and laughed, "Don't worry about it, it's okay, my situation is different and more

complicated. My dad he ...... is also supportive of me being with him"

After a silent moment, she still added two words, "Once-

Natasha: "?"

Elaine squared away, "My dad just doesn't agree with...... it now but once and in the future, he was all for it."

Natasha was filled with bewilderment and even more confusion.

Elaine didn't know how to explain and pulled her along, "Okay, okay, you said you were going to invite my cousin to dinner, let's go"

At the mention of this, Natasha finally stopped dwelling on that topic: "Let's go."

By the time they got to the restaurant, Archer was already sitting there yawning.

Elaine pulled Natasha over and ran, shouting, "Cousin!"

Give Archer a direct scare to sober up.

Archer said, "You really shouldn't call me cousin, it always sounds like a call to arms to me."

Elaine: "....."

She bristled, then sat down across from Archer.

At that moment, the waiter came over to order and Natasha handed Archer the menu, "You order, and thank you for driving me home last time"

Archer snorted, but also did not politely, took the menu, the store's signature dishes ordered a copy, and even ordered a bottle of champagne.

Elaine saw this and could even imagine how badly Natasha's father scolded him at the time.

After ordering, Archer noticed Elaine's eyes were like radar, scanning around the restaurant, and he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Elaine retracted her thoughts and said innocently, "It's nothing."

Archer ate the small dish in front of him, "Don't think about it, he......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that Natasha was still there and said lazily, "He's not in Riverside City, and you wouldn't be able to see him if you wanted to."

Elaine was slightly stunned, "So when is he coming back."

How should { know, it's not like he's going to report back to me on his trip.

Elaine bristled, no wonder she called Darnell last night and he didn't even answer, only a few words in a brief reply to her.

Elaine instantly found the meal tasteless.

Archer can be said to have scoffed at this behavior of hers.

He was just about to speak when he noticed Natasha next to him looking calm and pricked up her ears, trying to hear more gossip.

Chapter 1032 Your father has a point

After eating, Archer had something to do and left first.

When he left, Natasha stayed for a while and was ready to go too: "Elaine, don't you want to go home." Elaine shook her head, "It's still early, I'll sit for a while, you go back."

Okay, mainly my father now also control me strictly, I go back too late to be scolded, then I will go first, bye

Elaine waved goodbye to her.

Natasha left and sat in the car, yawning with boredom, and before long, the car was stuck in traffic.

A short distance ahead was a rowdy crowd.

Natasha lowered the window and poked a head out, "What's going on up front?"

The driver observed the situation: "It seems to be a car accident"

Natasha responded, it was already May/June, the air was hot and dreary, just when she was about to close the window,

she accidentally glanced at a familiar figure in the crowded and noisy crowd.

Her gaze paused and moved back, but her vision was obstructed and she couldn't help but straighten her spine.

With just a glance, there was nothing left to see.

At this time, the road opened up a bit in front of the traffic jam, and the driver was about to start the throttle when Natasha hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

As she spoke, she quickly opened the car door and ran forward.

The car behind was honking and urging, the driver had no choice but to drive away first.

Natasha managed to squeeze into the crowd, and what met his eyes was a bloody scene.

She instantly felt a little dizzy in the head and swayed unsteadily on her feet twice.

Natasha forced her body to hold back the discomfort and squatted down next to Archer, opening her eyes sideways not to look: "Do you ...... need anything from me?"

Archer sniffed and glanced back at her, "What are you doing here"

L was passing by...... and I thought I saw you and came over

Archer retracted his eyes and continued to give first aid measures to the man lying on the floor, while saying, "Find a

pharmacy, tell them you want to buy surgical tools, where you can buy is which, and then buy sterile alcohol, cotton balls, gauze." He spoke quickly, and Natasha was so confused that she got up and ran outside in a hurry.

Well, across the street, there is a pharmacy, Natasha ran there, while gasping for breath, while saying the ones Archer just explained: "I ...... I want the tools for the surgery, and alcohol, and...... and

The pharmacy staff looked outside, probably understood what she meant, and took what was available in the pharmacy to her.

Natasha then ran back in one breath, but when he went down the steps he didn't pay attention and fell to the ground when his feet stepped on the ground.

tf it were normal, she would have been in pain and in tears.

But at this moment she almost didn't stop, she climbed straight up, picked up the things that had fallen to the ground,

squeezed back into the crowd, and handedthese over to Archer.

Archer's eyes lingered on her face for a moment as he took it.

Natasha's eyes were wide open, just looking at him, and a few strands of hair were wet with sweat and stuck to the corners of her forehead.

Archer said nothing, poured sterile alcohol on the surgical tools and performed sutures on the wounded man.

Time passes quickly, and the sun's rays are becoming more and more harsh.

A passerby handed them an umbrella.

Natasha took it, said thank you, and immediately lifted the umbrella above Archer's head.

Two minutes later, the sound of an ambulance finally sounded.

Archer also made his sutures at the same time and put down his scalpel.

As Archer followed them talking about the injured man, Natasha stayed behind him, holding his umbrella.

Soon, the injured man was taken away by the ambulance crew.

The crowd also gradually dispersed.

Archer turned his head, looked like a tail, followed closely behind him, then pushed the umbrella to her head: "You hold it, I don't need it."

Natasha held the umbrella back up again, "You're a doctor, in healing and saving lives, you need some more" Archer: "....."

He pivoted the umbrella to her again, "The people have been saved."

Natasha was silent for a few seconds, "Oh."

After a moment, she looked up at him again, "So will he survive.'

Archer eyes fell back on her face, under the corner of the eye, I do not know whether it was a fall or what, a small piece of

blood paste, sticky dust, are almost dry.

He walked to the side: "I don't know, it depends on the luck"

Natasha sniffed a little lost: "Ah? I thought he must have survived.....""

Because you look like a great guy, and you were the one who took me to the hospital when I fainted that time.

Archer said, "I was just passing by and got pulled in as a bad guy"

Natasha cocked her head, "But if I had been hurt, you would have saved me just like you did today."

Archer didn't say anything, just told her after crossing the street, "Sit and wait for me for a while.'

Natasha saw a bench in the shade next to her, and after an oh, she sat down.

tt was only then that she realized that her arms, legs and face hurt everywhere.

Natasha took out the small mirror in her bag and saw the injury on her face, and Qing reached out to touch it, and instantly

tears came out of her eyes.

Will this leave scars in the future?

Just then, Archer returned with a bag of stuff.

Natasha put down the mirror in a hurry and sniffled.

Archer sat next to her, saw her eyes were red and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Natasha first shook her head and then nodded.

Archer laughed silently and took out an ice pack and placed it on the bruised area of her arm: "Hold it down."

Natasha was shivering from the ice, but still reached out and took the ice pack.

Archer opened the bag again and took out iodine and cotton swabs from it to clean her face.

Natasha ahhed in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

You're so afraid of pain, how come you didn't react at all just now

Iwas...... only thinking about saving people quickly, did not pay attention well.

Archer said, "He is not related to you, why do you want to save him."

Saying that, he still lightened the movement of his hand.

Natasha whispered, "He's not related to you, either."

I'm a doctor

"IL also want to do a doctor in the future when I was a child, but my science grades are very bad eh, my father said that

others learn medicine is to save people, I learn medicine is to harm people"

Archer: "....."

"Your dad has a point-

Hearing him say that, Natasha's eyes rolled up, You don't hate my dad, oh?"""

Archer threw away the swab and took a new one, "I hate what he does."

It's the last time...... you sent me home, he thought you were my boyfriend and scolded you badly for coming

Cursing me a tot of people, if I hate one by one, then every day must not be angry with themselves-' Natasha breathed a sigh of relief: It's good that you don't hate it, anyway...... I apologize to you again solemnly" "Okay, I accept your apology." Archer finished cleaning the wounds on her face and added, "Hands."

Chapter 1033

also want to be able to see you at first glance In addition to her face, Natasha had more or less scrapes on her hands and knees.

As Archer disinfected her, Natasha just looked at him, unconsciously a little out of breath.

After cleaning the last wound, Archer looked up, "There."

Natasha hurriedly withdrew her thoughts, "Oh oh, thanks."

Archer put all the remaining trash in a bag and asked, "How are you going to get back."

L....... Natasha looked around, having long since lost track of where her driver had gone, and said, I'll take a cab."

Saying that, she stood up shakily with the pain and trembled forward.

Archer couldn't look away and even held her arm, "I'll walk you."

Natasha's face lifted up in a smile, "Yeah."

Natasha's father was already worried and angry when he learned that the driver had lost contact with Natasha and didn't know where she had gone.

He hurriedly just about to go out, but saw Archer supporting a wounded Natasha back, suddenly face are blue, and Archer a scolding.

Natasha hurriedly said, "Dad, it's not what you think, he's not......"

Natasha's father said, "Why do you always turn your elbow, the last time he sent you back, you were in a coma, this time he sent you back, and you ......"

Last time I all told you la, is Brendon, you do not know it, this time...... this time also, I fell by accident, people kindly send me back, you do not scold people again.

You run into him every time, there's no such thing as coincidence, unless he's plotting against you and is always in your vicinity Natasha's father snorted, "You can't run down from the car for good reason just to fall down." Natasha pulted him in, "Dad, it's really not what you think, I'm......"

Archer said, "You explain to your father, I'll go first."

Natasha responded, "Thank you for today, don't take it personally with my dad, it's just that when I encountered that incident earlier, he was always worried about me being cheated" Archer nodded slightly and turned to walk away.

Natasha's father tried to say something else, but Natasha pulled him to his death.

When Archer was far away, Natasha was angry and stomped her foot: "Dad, I told you, he was kind enough to send me back, but you are really annoying!"

Natasha's father sat in the sofa and slowly spoke: "Natasha, dad is a man of the past, he sent you back twice, if he didnt have ulterior motives for you, then what did he do it for?" Natasha sat next to him, "He's Elaine's cousin, and he sent me back for Elaine's sake"

At that, Natasha's father frowned, "Elaine's cousin, which cousin?"

Without waiting for Natasha to answer, he added, 'I told you to stay away from Elaine, but now you're so good that you even know her cousin.' Hearing him mention this, Natasha became upset and got up and went straight to her room.

Natasha, Natasha, Daddy is doing this for your own good, how do you .....

Back in her room, Natasha stood in front of the mirror and looked at the wound on her face that had been treated, and suddenly she felt as if it didn't hurt so much anymore.

She collapsed on the bed and messaged Elaine, first briefly about what had happened today, and then asking Elaine for Archer's contact information, wanting to apologize again. Soon, she added Archer's WeChat.

Natasha sent him a message: [I'm really sorry about today, when do you have time, I'll treat you to a meal again, you can choose whatever you want to eat.

Archer: [......]

Archer: [No need.

Natasha was wondering how to start the conversation when another message from Archer came through.

Archer: [your wound these two days do not get wet, if inflammation in time to go to the hospital].

Natasha: [Then can I come to you.

Archer: [?

Natasha: [On

....... which hospital are you in ah, can! register for your number.

Archer: [I don't sit in the hospital, but if you want to find a more familiar doctor, I can give you recommendations.

Natasha: (Oh, I'll call you if I need you then].

Archer: [Line.

Natasha put the phone down and exhaled.

In the dining room.

Elaine sat until the afternoon, waiting for the sun to set before standing up and preparing to leave.

She had just taken a few steps when Nicolas came over, "Is Miss James going home?"

Elaine nodded, "Yes, I'll come back tomorrow."

Nicolas said, "I'll take Miss James through the back door.

Elaine was a bit puzzled: "Why......"

But then, she saw the gentle smile on Nicolas' face.

Elaine instantly reacted, "Jiang...... is he here?"

Master of Riverside is on its way, so Miss James may need to wait a little longer

Yes! Wait as long as you want!"

Elaine followed Nicolas to the back door and stood there, revealing happiness all over.

But within two minutes of standing, it started to rain in the sky.

From the beginning of the sporadic, it instantly became a downpour.

Elaine stood under the eaves, a few drops of rain fell on her arms, bringing a slight chill, and she stepped back, a little cold.

Time passed, Elaine paced back and forth in place, and finally, tired of standing, she squatted on the ground and watched the small river of rainwater pooling in front of her.

I do not know how long it has been, the sky has been dark deep, the street lights in the rain curtain, looks extraordinarily bleak.

Darnell got out of the car and looked at the little girl cowering in the corner not far away, feeling a sudden sinking in his heart, holding the hand of the umbrella handle slightly closed, raised his legs and walked over. Elaine was fiddling with the leaves in the pot next to her when she felt a darkness overhead and immediately looked up, followed by a bright smile, "You're here"

Darnell bent on one leg and crouched in front of her, whispering, "Why don't you wait inside."

Elaine said, "I thought you might be arriving in a few minutes, and I also wanted to be able to see you at first sight."

"Sorry, there was a delay on the way.

Elaine's eyes shone brightly and she didn't complain at all, instead she said pleasantly, It's okay, I didn't think I'd see you today, it's already a surprise.'"

She is willing to wait even longer.

Darnell looked at her and smiled lightly, "You're asking for very little."

Elaine blinked, craned her neck forward a few points and kissed him on the corner of his lips, "That'll do."

The rain pattered on the umbrella, making a dull and clear ringing sound.

Elaine's hair and skirt were wet with rain, and her body was chilled like a homeless kitten, and after kissing him, the light in her eyes shone as happily as if she had stolen a small dried fish.

Darnell's lips curled slightly, his gaze softened a few notches, and he helped her up by the arm, "Let's go."

Chapter 1034 I changed my mind

Sitting in the car, Elaine sneezed without warning and felt dizzy.

Darnell raised his hand and touched her forehead, then took off his jacket and put it over her: "Remember to take some cold medicine when you get back, it's cooling down in the past two days, wear more." Elaine leaned into his arms, wrapped her arms around his strong, thin waist, and looked up at him blearily, "Can I come home with you?"

Damell lowered his eyes, met her gaze, and his thin lips twitched slightly, "No"

Elaine knew that would be the answer, and she pouted, "I lost the man my dad sent to follow me today, and when I get home, he's going to scold me"

If you don't come home tonight, he's not just going to scold you.

"But I'm hard, dizzy and uncomfortable, I don't want to go back to be scolded, tomorrow...... I'd rather go back to be beaten tomorrow,

Darnell rubbed her head, 'I'll walk you in, he won't scold you."

Franklin would only scold him.

Elaine thought it made sense. Her father, no matter how angry he was, would not have flared up in front of Darnell, but would only lecture her in private. And after a good night's sleep, his anger may have subsided some more.

She rubbed her little face in his arms and closed her eyes contentedly.

Soon, the black car slowly drove into the carved gate.

After getting out of the car, Elaine followed Darnell and waited until she reached the living room before cautiously poking a head out, "Daddy"

Franklin sat there with a sullen face, not saying a word, as if he was brewing anger.

He glanced at Elaine before looking ahead of her at Darnell, who nodded slightly at him.

Franklin clearly had no intention of paying attention to him, but instead asked Elaine a soulful question, "Elaine, where were you this afternoon"

Elaine sniffed and hugged Damell's arm a little nervously, "I ...... I'm going to dinner with Natasha and Archer"

Franklin saw this and looked even more obtrusive, taking a deep breath before saying, "Then what did you do to get rid of the people I sent to follow you." "I..." Elaine's eyes rolled as she racked her brain trying to come up with an excuse.

At this time, Darnell said, "Elaine she got a little cold from the rain, let her go to her room to change first'

Elaine nodded along.

Franklin wanted to say something, and seeing that Elaine still had Darnell's jacket on her, he waved his hand in annoyance, gesturing for her to hurry upstairs. Elaine saw the crisis lifted and rushed away.

As she went up the stairs, she didn't forget to turn her head and wave at Darnell.

Darnell tooked at her, a few smiles rising in his dark eyes, and wordlessly said two words, "Take your medicine"

Elaine made an OK gesture.

Waiting for Elaine's figure to disappear around the corner of the stairs, Franklin continued to speak: "Elaine little do not know how to do things, you also follow the nonsense." Darnell withdrew his eyes, collected the emotions on his face little by little, sat across from Franklin, and replied in one word: "I'm not fooling around, I'll protect her"

Franklin said, "The best protection you can give her is to stay away from her"

Darnell was noncommittal and set the record straight: "I promised her that I would keep you with him, so I want you to go to Switzerland with her."

Franklin probably did not expect that one day Darnell will arrange a back way for him, he was silent for a while before saying, "I have already made a decision on this matter, you do not need to make the decision for me" "I just don't want Elaine to be sad, you're the only family she has left."

Hearing this, Franklin couldn't help but frown.

Darnell said, "I know your concems, the James family side, I'll take care of it."

Franklin said, "Once Elaine leaves Riverside City they will strike, the James family so many people, can you defend every one of them, or can you kill them all"

'I'll take care of those."

Franklin shook his head: "I don't want Elaine to live in danger and fear forever, I want her to have a happy and joyful future."

Darnell said lightly: "Do you think she will be happy in the future if you die. If she knew that you had gone that far for her, she would be in self-recrimination and remorse for the rest of her life"

By that time she had gone to Switzerland, she wouldn't have known

Do you really think that Elaine doesn't understand anything. Would she think that your death was a simple accident, or that she wouldn't even come back for your funeral?

Franklin's frown deepened: "Didn't we make a deal between us, and after I die, you should take care of these."

Darneil said, "I've changed my mind."

Franklin: "....."

.....

He was furious: "Darnell, this is not a trivial matter, this is about the future of the entire James family and even Riverside City, do you have any idea what it would mean if you did this?" Darnell looked unchanged: "I promise you that I will not see her again as long as you leave with Elaine.'

Franklin opened his mouth and his expression changed several times.

This is indeed a great temptation for him.

Darnell got up: "But if you die, I will get Elaine with me, and I will not see her alone in a place that is completely foreign to her"

So I hope you will reconsider.

After the words, Darnell nodded slightly at him and then headed upstairs.

Franklin snapped back, "The door is over there!"

'I'll watch her take her medicine and leave.'

I thought you said you wouldn't...... later

Halfway through the sentence, Franklin stopped again.

Franklin stood downstairs for a few minutes, after all, there is a previous experience, he is still not very comfortable with Oarnell and Elaine alone in a room, thought about it or lighten up the steps upstairs. In the room, Elaine had just come out of the shower and had sneezed twice in quick succession.

She blew her hair half dry and was just about to slack off and wait for it to dry naturally when she turned her head and saw Darnell leaning against a wall not far away.

Elaine was stunned, her expression was then covered with surprise, and was about to run over when Darnell's voice rang out, "Go and blow dry your hair."

But I......

Or I'm leaving.

Elaine reluctantly said "Oh" and went back to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair.

During that time, she looked back several times to make sure Darnell was still there.

He was sitting in the sofa with, in front of him, the dinner and cold medicine that the maid had just brought up.

Elaine haphazardly blew out her hair almost, then ran out again and sat next to him, hugging his arm, her voice soft and infinitely happy: "How did you get in here? Where's my dad?" Darnell said, "Outside the door"

The comers of Darnell's lips curled down and he handed her the chopsticks, "Eat."

Elaine slowly let go of him, then got up and walked to the door, quickly pulling it open, and saw her dad with his hands behind his back and his head cocked as if he was eavesdropping.

Chapter 1035

Elaine said, "Dad, what are you doing."

Franklin coughed and spoke without changing his face: 'I'm just going around, what about you, didn't you say you had a

cold and took your medicine?"

I was just about to eat.

Then you go and eat, don't mind me. I ...... Franklin said, looking at the hanging picture on the wall next to him, then came closer, "Eh, the frame is a bit dirty"

Saying that, he turned his head and ordered the maid behind him, "Get a wet towel and a basin of water.

The maid responded and left.

Elaine is speechless: "Dad ....."

Franklin looked over at her and said matter-of-factly, "You go eat without me."

Elaine puffed out her mouth in anger and was about to say something when Damell came out of the room and said to her, "Go eat, it's getting cold, I'll go first,"

After the words, he added, "Be sure to take your medicine"

Elaine nodded obediently, then when her dad wasn't looking, she quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed Darnell on the side of his face, then quickly turned around and ran into the room.

Franklin never dreamed of seeing this scene with his own eyes, his face was pathetically ugly, and subconsciously he wanted to teach Elaine a lesson, but when he went to open the door, it was already locked inside.

So Franklin targeted Darnell, and was just about to speak in a hushed voice when Darnell's cell phone rang, and he nodded slightly at Franklin, holding the phone and striding away.

Franklin looked at his back and was half exasperated, just as the maid brought over towels and tentatively voiced, "Master, do you want more of these things?"

No more, you guard this place for me, and don't allow her to go out again for three days!

Elaine leaned over the door panel, heard her dad's grumpiness loud and clear, smiled and spit out her tongue, and went back to the couch to finish her meal.

After lying in bed, she felt a little dizzy, sneezed twice in quick succession, remembered Darnell's advice, and got up again to take her medicine.

After taking her medication, Elaine pushed open the window and a cold breeze came in, dispelling the dreary air in the house.

The pond her father built downstairs was all but finished, and the rain slammed into the pool, sending ripples after ripples. The wind all around was also soothing.

Elaine propped her elbows on the window, remembering the sight of Darnell here that night, and shook her head, a smile widening on her face.

After a short while, the drug took effect and Elaine couldn't help but yawn.

She closed the window and fell asleep on her bed, and had a very fragrant and sweet dream.

The next morning, despite her medication, Elaine was still a little dizzy and she stayed in bed, tossing and turning, unable to remember.

When the maid went to her room to pack the changed clothes, she took out a suit from the bathroom and came out and asked, "Miss, does this suit need to be washed."

Elaine saw it and instantly jumped up from the bed: "No need to wash no need to wash, I'll send it to him"

The servant said, "The master has explained that he will not let you go out for three days."

Elaine pouted, if she had known she wouldn't have upset her dad last night.

After the maid left, she hugged her clothes and collapsed into the sofa.

But there are always more ways than difficulties.

Elaine pushed open the window, found a stick, and tried to push down all the barbs on the steps.

But the barbs are too much, and the stick is not thick enough, she pushed half a day, did not launch a place to get off.

Elaine immediately had a new idea.

She found a duffel bag from her locker, then put Darnell's clothes in it, put on a casual and simple outfit and sneakers, and opened the door to her room.

The maid dutifully said, "Miss, the master has explained ......"

Elaine pulled on her backpack, "I know, I'm going to my dad's study to read a book'

"This......

"

Franklin did not account for this problem, the maids did not know what to do for a while.

She looked at the backpack Elaine was carrying and was a bit tongue-tied.

Elaine pulled on her backpack straps: "I'm bored at home anyway, so I'll bring a few more books to read in my room.

The maid pointed to the study a few steps away, "Actually, as long as Miss doesn't leave the house, the study should be free to go."

Elaine square: "You don't know me, I am a person who easily forgets to read and concentrate on books, always running to the study will interrupt my mood, I will just bring a few books back to my room to read." After saying that, she hurriedly ran to the study.

As the maid followed her, she waved her hand and said, "Then I'll choose my books in peace."

Immediately afterwards, the study was immediately unlocked.

Standing in the study, Elaine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She pushed open the study window, after seeing a flat below, opened her school bag and took out the prepared rope from it, then looked around the room and finally selected the pillar next to the desk and tied the rope to it. After tying it up, she stepped back, but accidentally hit the desk and several books fell down with a sound.

Then the maid's knock on the door sounded outside, "Miss, are you all right?"

Elaine panicked and stuffed the book into her bag: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm looking for the book, just wait for me there, I'll be right out."

As she spoke, she hurriedly put her school bag on her back, pulled the rope to make sure it was okay, then climbed out the window and slowly tugged the rope down.

Almost to the ground, she was too anxious, her foot stirrup slipped and sat on her butt.

Elaine couldn't care less about the pain, got up, slapped her butt and ran outside.

A passing maid saw her running so fast: "Miss, are you going out?"

Elaine waved as she ran, "Yeah, you tell my dad I'l be back tonight, don't worry about me."

Then in the blink of an eye, it ran out of shadows.

It was only after she had left the villa that the maids guarding the door to the study heard the news that she had left.

Elaine ran a long way before she stopped to catch her breath.

Just as she took out her cell phone and was about to call a car, she faintly heard something next to her.

Elaine held her breath and followed the sound. She saw a two- or three-month-old puppy shivering from last night's rain, circling around a dog next to it, whimpering anxiously.

The dog, on the other hand, had long since lost its breath.

Elaine stepped forward and carefully took the little puppy in her arms, "Is that your mommy.'

The little grandmother whimpered twice as if in reply, two paws clinging to her, shaking all over.

Elaine rubbed its head: "Not afraid, I'll take you to the doctor ah"

Elaine got up and was just about to leave when she looked at the drenched puppy lying on the ground, in the end she couldn't bear to let it be exposed to the wilderness, but she didn't have a shovel or other tools at hand, so she thought about taking out Darnell's jacket from her bag and gently covered it.

Chapter 1036 You are more lovely

Elaine held the little puppy in her arms and went to the vet hospital to give it all the tests and the doctor said there was nothing wrong with it except for malnutrition. Elaine was relieved and asked, "Can I leave it with you? I'll pay for its medical expenses and living expenses."

The doctor said, "We can send out adoption information for you, but we can't take care of it for long, there are already too many pets in the store."

That's okay. Elaine said, "Then you must help him find a good owner, he's so pathetic."

Don't worry, we are all going to do the adoption process and return to visit regularly

The staff member next to me said, "Give it to me.

Elaine handed the little puppy over, but the little puppy that left her arms felt instantly uneasy, whimpering and shaking so much that its big eyes just looked at her. She turned her head and watched as the little puppy was put into a cage not far away by the staff.

Inside the cage, all large and small pet dogs, because of the reason that someone came at this moment, all lying in the cage door, eyes looking out, fighting to get out. That expression and look seemed to say, "Take me home, I'm a good boy"

And the little puppy she brought with her, after being put in the cage, also picked hard at the door and kept looking at her, whimpering a little louder.

Elaine couldn't stand the sight of it, so she turned to the doctor and asked, "How long will it take to get adopted?"

The doctor said, "This is not certain, some can be adopted the same day, and some for months without anyone asking a single question"

Elaine couldn't help but look back again, and after a moment, she suddenly spoke, "Then I'd better take it away."

the James Group, Office of the President.

Darnell had just come out of the conference room when the assistant behind him followed and whispered, "Master of Riverside, Miss James is here" Darnell hooted and pushed open the office door when a small object scurried to his lap.

The assistant was stunned and scared, and immediately bent down to pick up the dog and tried to take it away.

Elaine ran over and took it from the assistant: "Thank you, it kept running and I couldn't catch it"

Miss James.....

The assistant was just about to speak when Damell said with a sideways glance, "You go out first"

The assistant immediately kept his voice quiet and nodded his head to leave.

After the office door closed, Elaine took the hand of the little puppy in her arms and greeted him, "Helio, first time meeting, nice to meet you."

Darnell's eyes moved from the little titty to her face again, "Where did that come from?"

Elaine said, "I picked it up near my house, it's so sad, can you adopt it?"

Darnell: "?"

Elaine whispered, "I had two of them when I was a kid and both got sick, and my dad wouldn't let me have them after that...

She said, while observing Damell's reaction, and then handed the little puppy to him: 'I've already vaccinated him and dewormed him, and I will often go over to take care of him, look at him so cute, just adopt him, okay?" Darnell's thin lips pursed, and it took a few seconds before he said, "I don't like these things."

Elaine is not discouraged, but the more frustrated, the more courageous, arguing: "But you did not like me at first, ah, it proved that people's preferences can change, and it is so cute, I will definitely like it!" Oarnell's lips curled and he raised his hand to rub her head in the direction of the couch, "You're a little cuter."

At that, Elaine froze in place, her face slightly flushed and her heart beating a few points faster.

She walked towards Damelil, and her speech was not as sharp as it was just now: "So...... then you are agreeing to adopt it"

Darnell sat in the couch, looking at the things Elaine had bought on the floor, knowing she was all set: "Can I say no?"

Elaine sat next to him with a smile raised on her face, "No way."

Darnell glanced at the puppy in her arms, "I've got things to do tonight, so you can drop it off"

Elaine nodded happily, "Yeah."

She said, she stroked the little puppy: "You will have a home from now on, be good and obedient oh"

The little puppy didn't know if she understood, licked her fingers, then jumped off her lap, chewed on the little toys on the floor and started running all over the house.

At that moment, Darnell's cell phone rang.

He took it out and glanced at it. The caller 1D read Franklin.

Elaine saw it and reflexively jumped on him to get the phone: "Don't answer it, my dad will scold you!"

Darnell let her snatch the phone away and hang up, his voice seemingly tinged with a light chuckle, "Did you sneak out again?"

Elaine put the phone aside and said with a straight face, °My...... is not considered a sneak, I've come to return your clothes." "Where are the clothes?"

Elaine subconsciously went to get her bag, but found that in addition to a few books, where there are no clothes.

She "ah": "I remembered, your clothes [......"

Elaine immediately said sincerely, "I'll buy a new one to compensate you-"

Darnell said, "No need"

Elaine smacked her lips, then slowly crawled out of his arms, onto him, her eyes staring straight at his thin lips, "That won't work, my dad taught me since I was a kid that if you lose someone's stuff, you have to pay for it." Darnell looked at her calmly and spoke slowly: "Your father also told you to stay away from me."

Elaine did not change her face: "But I am an adult, for my father to speak the truth, to take the essence of the dross."

The smile deepened in Darnell's dark eyes, "Meaning, you only listen to what you want to hear"

She blinked, "I didn't say that"

Elaine continued, "Then I'll start compensating you."

After the words, she darted closer and kissed Darnell on the corner of his lips.

Darnell hand casually on her waist, cold stem brow, adding a few lazy and loose, waiting for her to back away before saying: "Finished?"

Elaine cocked her head at him and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue, "I want to stage ......"

This would give her a reason to come to him every day.

Damell said, "Not accepted."

Before Elaine could answer, the back of her head was gently snapped forward.

Damell tilted his head, ran his palm along the back of her neck, and bit down on hers with the slightest pressure of his lips

and teeth.

Elaine mmmed, feeling breath, all his scent.

That's what she's wanted for a long time.

As the fresh air in her chest grew thinner and thinner, Elaine's body went limp and her whole body leaned into his arms.

After a long time, her head lying on his shoulder, the whole person is dizzy, breathing unevenly spoke: "Actually, I have a little pain....." Damell gave a beat: "Where does it hurt."

Elaine whispered, "Ass:"

I fell and fell on my butt as I was climbing down from the window.

Chapter 1037 I shouldn't need to tell him, right?

Darnell's eyebrows jumped, and only after a long time did he say, "You're pretty good at falling"

Elaine bristled, what the hell, he didn't even comfort her.

After a while, Elaine remembered something, sat up a little straighter and locked eyes with Darnell: "Actually, I'm not that afraid of pain." Darnell's voice was low: "Hmm?"

Elaine's eyes were a little afraid to look at him and turned to stare at his shirt button: "That's...... that's......"

As she spoke, Elaine's eyes fell on the knot of his protruding throat.

The following scenery is covered tightly.

tt is abstinent and at the same time, it is endlessly imaginative.

Elaine's body always moves faster than her mind, and almost without thinking she lowered her head and kissed him gently on the knot of his throat. Darnell's body suddenly tensed, the knot in his throat slid violently, and he whispered a warning, "Elaine."

Elaine was unmoved, or rather, she had long been accustomed to his verbal threats, practiced a knife-edge, and even stuck out her tongue tentatively. Darnell's hand on her waist clenched, jaw slightly tense, between the corners of the forehead there are veins showing, breathing is full of hidden restraint.

Elaine looked up, her eyes wet with innocence, and deliberately asked, "What's wrong?"

Darnell's brow twitched and his lips pursed into a straight line as he looked at her without saying a word.

Elaine was just about to continue speaking when she felt a subtle shift in where she was sitting.

Last time she was wearing a halter-night dress and not even pants.

And this time, she wore jeans, still feeling the more obvious......

Elaine is still a mouth-breathing king in the end, and that huge puff of hair makes her finally a little scared, and after swallowing, she props herself up on his shoulder and slowly tries to get up. But just as she made a move, a force came to her waist.

Darnell pushed her back.

Elaine's eyes widened, probably not expecting such a move from him, and she subconsciously looked up at him.

Damell's voice was low and deep, with a touch of magnetic mellowness: "Elaine, know what you're doing."

Know..... know ah, I said I'm not afraid of pain, and you .....

This is the office

"

She instantly came back to her senses and how she sat on him.

But the words have come to this point, she did not flinch and asked in a smail voice: Then...... is not the office, it is okay?"" Darnell's jaw tensed even tighter and calmed his tone, ""No"""

Elaine had trouble understanding: "Why not, are you not able to?"

Darnell's dark eyes narrowed slightly and his tone was full of danger: "What do you think"

Elaine did not have time to answer, it feels like the place where you are sitting, seerns to be slightly, moving

It was like a pulse beat, extremely inconspicuous.

But again, it was as if they were responding to her words.

...... moved a little?

Elaine's little face couldn't help but flush a little, and her voice got even smaller: "Then ....... why not ah? Or are you afraid that my father will not agree?"

As she spoke, even her ears were burning red as she tentatively inquired, "! don't think I need to tell him about this, right?"

Darnell closed his eyes, took a deep breath and withdrew his hand, "Elaine, go down."

Elaine stood up after all and took several steps back to the side in quick succession.

Darnell fingers scratched his brow and casually took a pillow and placed it on his lap while saying, "You take it over first."

Elaine "Oh" sound, the line of sight uncontrollably fell on the pillow above, obviously can not see anything, but feel like the gaze was burned, heartbeat is also uncontrollably accelerated, the mind appears some chaotic images. She pointed next to Darnell: "My bag"

Darnell handed her the bag and swept the floor again, "Just go straight, I'll have these delivered to you."

Elaine said, "So when are you going back."

Darnell was silent for a few seconds, but changed his mind: "I'm not going back tonight"

So where do you sleep

Had to deal with work and didn't have time to sleep.

Elaine's small disappointment: "Well, then fll go."

Darnell hmmed, "I'll have the driver meet you at the door.

"Got it? After answering, she turned to the little puppy and found him curled up in the corner of the carpet asleep.

Elaine put her bag on her back and picked it up, her tone rising happily: Come on, let's go home.'"

When she left, Darnell slowly exhaled and waited for the emotions surging through his body to calm down, picked up his phone and called back the number Elaine had just hung up on.

As soon as it rang Franklin picked up and asked nonchalantly, "Is Elaine at your place?"

Darnell didn't deny it: "Yes."

Franklin was furious: "What the hell have you drugged her with that she's going through the window to see you!"

You do not close her again, this time is lucky not to fall, next time .....

Do you want a next time?

Darnell said, "Like I said last night, as long as you leave with her, I won't see her again"

Franklin said, "Then you send her back to me right now!"

I'm talking about later, after you guys leave Riverside City. Franklin: "......"

Darnell continued, "I promise you, there will be no overstepping."

tf Franklin still believed in him a few points before, but after the last window thing, directly let Darnell's credibility in him is zero, Franklin directly angry laugh: "Darnell, you say that you believe it, what you have done to Elaine yourself clear, she at least called you so many years of uncle, you It's...... really shameful!"

Darnell simply said, "Then I take back that statement:

Franklin was outright furious: "Darnell! You will not touch a finger of my daughter!"

If you can't control her, how can!

Franklin a large breath was directly held, nearly fainted.

As much as he hates to admit it, it's true that Elaine has been the one taking the initiative.

After a long silence, Franklin found his senses and calmly asked, "How far have you gone?"

I have things to do, you continue to think about it.

After the words were said, he hung up the phone directly.

On the other hand, Franklin heard his answer to the question to avoid the important, do not need to guess also know why, immediately angry stood up, blood pressure rubbing up.

He raised his daughter for so many years, held in the hand for fear of falling, in the mouth for fear of melting, how to be Darnell to the woe.

The men waiting on the side saw this and came forward and said, "Master ......"

Franklin raised his hand, indicating that he was fine, and was quiet for a moment before saying, "Rearrange it so that I'm taking Elaine with me if I can."

He absolutely can not stand by and send his daughter to Darnell, that he died coffin board may not be able to press.

Chapter 1038 Responsible for Yourself

Elaine left and went straight to Darnell's private residence with her little puppy in her arms.

When she carried the little puppy in, not only did the maids faintly stare, but even the few men outside the door, couldn't help but look sideways. The maid said, "Miss James, this......"

Elaine immediately understood and explained, "Darnell asked me to bring it here, and this puppy will live here from now on?

The look in the maid's eyes was even more surprised, but she didn't say anything and just ted Elaine inside.

"Miss James will sit for a while while I go to the backyard to clean up and get a doghouse back.

Elaine said, Don't bother, he's still so small, he'll catch a cold if he lives outside, I also bought him a kennel, just put it in Darnell's room."

The maid nodded slightly, said nothing more and stepped aside.

Not long after Elaine arrived, Darnell's people delivered all the things she had bought for the puppy and then placed them in the master bedroom as she had instructed.

Elaine put the littie puppy on the floor and put its nest in the corner again.

After doing this, she took a few steps back and stood in the middle of the room looking at the scene, feeling a bit distant.

Elaine walked over, picked up the kennel and pulled it to the left.

After several iterations of position adjustment, the kennel was finally placed at the head of Darnell's bed.

Elaine was finally satisfied, picked up the little puppy next to her and put it inside, while whispering, "You'll live here from now on, be good."

The little puppy licked her fingers affectionately and found a comfortable position in the nest to lie on.

The corners of her lips lifted, squatting on the ground holding her knees and gently rubbing its little head.

After a while, Elaine suddenly realized something, inclined her head to look at the bed next to her, and said to the little puppy: "Do you sleep noisily at night, you cant disturb his rest" The little puppy's eyelids drooped and yawned as if he was going to sleep.

Elaine got no response and was ready to experiment with it herself.

She looked down at her clothes, which were a little muddy and smelled a little due to the puppy she was holding.

Elaine took out her phone and sent a text message to Darnell.

Elaine: (Can { use the things in your room.

After two minutes Damell replied: (Yes.

Elaine: [any?

Darnell: [Any.]

Seeing this answer, Elaine shook the secretly said yes, quickly got up and walked to the Darnell checkroom, selected a short-sleeved loungewear from it, and then ran to the bathroom to take a shower. After showering, she changed into Darnell's clothes and lifted her arm to smell it, a faint fragrance, the smell of his body, calm and comfortable.

Elaine walked out of the bathroom and patted the little puppy on the head as she walked past him, "Good night."

After saying that, she hurried to the bed and covered the small half of her face with the quilt, somewhat embarrassed to

show two eyes and slightly red ears.

After lying down for a while, she fished out her phone and quietly searched for a few words on the web.

What should I pay attention to when I first have sex?

The more Elaine looked at them, the more she felt her face flush and her heart beat faster. She haphazardly tucked her phone under her pillow and closed her eyes to calm the chaotic thoughts in her head. Due to the fact that she hadn't completely recovered from the cold, Elaine was still a little dizzy and fell asleep after lying down for a short time.

In the evening, Darnell came out of the clubhouse, looked outside at the darkening sky, and asked with a tilt of his head,

"Has Elaine gone home yet.

The handlers replied, Miss James hasn't left yet"""

Darnell sniffed and twitched his eyebrows.

At this time, the partner who had just eaten together chased out: "Mr. Jiang, it's still early, why don't we sit somewhere else?" Darnell spoke lightly, "No, I have things to do"

The partner wanted to say something else, but Darnell had already lifted his eg and left.

In the car, the driver asked, "Master of Riverside, now is the time to go to..."

Damell looked at the clock: "Go back."

The driver responded.

Darnell loosened his tie, lowered the window, and breathed in a breath that smelied vaguely of alcohol.

When he returned, the maid came up, "Master of Riverside."

Darnell said, "Where's Elaine."

Miss James came into your room this aftemoon and never came out.

He hmmed and went straight upstairs.

Darnell pushed open the door to the master bedroom and the little puppy scurried to his feet, tail wagging.

He glanced down and felt a slight headache.

Darnell whispered, "Elaine."

There was no reply from the room.

He stepped forward to turn on the wall lamp and his eyes fell on the bulging mass beside the bed.

Darnell walked over and gently lifted the covers off, revealing Elaine's small, rosy face as she slept.

She seemed to be still awake, her mouth whimpered unconsciously, her head rubbed against the pillow, and then slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Damell, she thought she was dreaming.

Until his voice came, "You've been sleeping all afternoon?"

Elaine rubbed her eyes and her voice was astringent: "Well ...... not too comfortable......"

Darnell sniffed and put his hand over her forehead, the temperature was normal.

He looked at her and said in a slow voice, "Did you take your medicine last night" "It's just a little dizzy when you eat it"

Darnell said, "Get up, eat something, take another pill, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Don't. Elaine lifted her arms around him, 'I don't want to take the pills, and you're definitely going to kick me home after that'

Darnell palmed the back of her head: "If you don't come home, your father will be coming to get you"

Elaine beamed, "I'm twenty-two years old, I'm not a child, there's no such thing as him.'

Darnell said, "No matter how old you are, he's your dad, and he'll always worry about you"

Hearing this, Elaine looked up at him, "So if you have a daughter later, will you do the same." Darnell: ""

He licked the corner of his lips, the question really can't be put in his place.

Without waiting for his answer, Elaine added, "Forget it, forget I asked, you can't do the whole having a daughter thing either" Darnell sank his voice, "Elaine"

Elaine said, "What do you keep calling me by my name, I'm right again, you're in your thirties and you don't even have physical needs?" Darnell's solar plexus jumped hard.

Elaine began to skillfully climb on top of him, "I told you, I'm twenty-two, can you stop treating me like a child all the time, and I know what I'm doing, I like you and want to be with you forever more ......" As she made her next move, Darnell restrained her around the waist, his dark eyes deep and quiet: "Elaine, 'm not treating you like a child, but you should think it through and take responsibility for yourself." "I've thought about it very clearly, you're the one who keeps avoiding it" Elaine said, couldn't help but frown, "You always push me away, but you...... obviously react too, do you just think that we can't end up together?"

Chapter 1039 from now on do not look at those

As soon as Elaine's words came out, the entire room fell silent.

Her gaze was so bright and straightforward that it forced Darnell to look away sideways.

Seeing him like this, Elaine was instantly sure of her suspicions, her eyes were red and she choked up: "Vou really think so! You've been perfunctory from the beginning, you've never faced up to my feelings for you, you've always said I might like someone else, think clearly about being responsible for yourself, in the end you just don't believe me, you don't like me at all, if you like me, where are all these thoughts, you....."

Darnell's fingers wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered, "I never perfumed you, but felt that you deserved better"

As Franklin said, the James family was not a threat to him at all.

The real danger is those who hide in the shadows, far more than the James family a hundred times, a thousand times, want to put him to death.

He can keep her around and not let anyone else touch a hair on her head, but he can't sway that one day she might get tired of it.

From the day he succeeded as the James family head, he would not leave anyone with feelings around him.

Others will be afraid, will hurt, wilt retreat, are common.

But he couldn't.

He had to walk down this road.

But he doesn't want her to be like him, she has a brighter and more vibrant future.

Both Darnell and Franklin had the same idea, hoping that she could go to a place free of such disturbances and live out her life in peace and carefree.

Elaine looked at him with teary eyes and sobbed, "But you are my choice. No matter how many times I go through and how many people I meet, I will always choose you."

Darnell's eyes were fixed on her, and he did not say a word.

Elaine whispered continued, "I know in your opinion, I do not know how to do things, and even unreasonable, always give you trouble...... I will slowly change, but also more and more mature, until you can stand by your side...... So don't you think about pushing me away anymore.....7

Darnell's voice was low: "You don't have to change, you're fine now. elaine, I told you, you don't have to change yourself for anyone.'

Elaine deflated, her eyes wet, the tip of her nose slightly red from crying.

Outside I do not know when it rained again, the air in the whole house became damp and dreary a lot.

The curtains were blown by the wind and swayed in the silent light.

Darnell's cool lips fell gently on her brow, her eyes, the bridge of her nose, and finally nibbled on her tower lip, laying her down in the mattress in a smooth motion.

Elaine tasted the faintest hint of alcohol on his lips and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Darnell mumbled lowly, "Drank a little"

As his kisses gradually went down, Elaine felt a slight tingle in her neck and couldn't help but tilt her head, her fingers clenching the shirt at his waist, her breathing becoming heavier.

She was wearing his short sleeves, which were ridiculously wide, and it didn't take her long to slip down to her leg roots.

Elaine flinched as Darnell's hot palm rested on her leg.

Darnell kissed her, his hand squeezing her waist without a hint of flesh.

Elaine felt the itch to hide, but he was holding her down and there was nowhere to hide.

In addition to the itch, a sensation never before experienced in her body emerged, dominating her nerves and blood.

A moment later, a distinct touch came and Elaine came to her senses and her face instantly flushed to the base of her neck.

He took hold of her.......

Perhaps overly nervous and embarrassed, Elaine began to explore with him, barely calming down, "Do you think...... my breasts are small?"

Darnell's chest shook slightly, as if he were laughing, and he said, "Who told you your breasts were small."

Just thought...... you'd like a woman with big breasts.

Darnell: "......

Elaine added to herself: "Don't all men like big ones."

You've had a few boyfriends.

No....... Iread it online.

Darnell was silent for a few seconds: "No more of that."

Elaine was just about to say something when she felt some tingling at the tip.

She instantly stopped talking.

Darnell looked down and kissed her earlobe, his palm gently kneading it.

Elaine breathed a little shakily, but her hands were not idle, fumbling around trying to unbutton his shirt.

Just solve two she ran out of patience, directly pulled his shirt out of the suit pants, as desired to touch his abs.

Elaine muttered in a small voice, "Why are you in such good shape?"

Darnell raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice low and meaningful, "You're also in good shape."

[It was hard for her to accept that they were receiving such compliments in the position they were in now.

Elaine stumbled out, "Go on after...........7

Just then, a mid-air roar came from the downstairs window: "Elaine!"

Darnell gave a start and looked up and out, only a blanket of rain.

Elaine, her hand still tugging at his shirt, shivered outright: "I think I hear my dad's voice, is it a hallucination ....."

No. Darnell took his hand out, flicked on the bedside lamp, scanned her dress, and his tone was one of stoic restraint, "Go change your clothes."

Elaine said, "But my clothes are dirty, throw the bathroom crumpled ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Franklin's voice came again, even more frightening than earlier.

Elaine couldn't care less, rushed into the bathroom as fast as she could, took off Darnell's short sleeves and tossed them aside, putting on her own in a hurry.

Darnell came over and straightened her messy hair: "Don't worry, he can't get up there, you go down and wait for me for a few minutes."

Elaine suddenly realized something, her ears dripping blood red, nodded haphazardly, and ran out of the bathroom.

She took a few steps and saw the little puppy sitting next to her watching her. Elaine immediately looked like she had seen a savior and rushed to carry him outside.

After she left, Darnell, the knot in his throat slid twice and closed his eyes slightly.

Turn on the cold water and pour it down from the head.

It kinda kills me.

Downstairs, Franklin has barged into the living room, he may be Darnell's future father-in-law in the end, the men are not to stop, not to stop.

Elaine, you give me......

Halfway through his sentence, Elaine's figure appeared on the stairs.

Franklin knew she was here and was furious: "Get down here!"

Elaine clung to the wall, "I don't, you're going to hit me"

L..... Franklin really wanted to beat her up, but this is not at home after all, he slowed down his tone, "I don't hit you, when did I ever hit you? You're coming home.'

Elaine then slowly moved down the stairs one step at a time.

When she was standing in front of her, Franklin asked again with a sober face, "Where's Darnell?"

Chapter 1040 Come over later and let them do it for you

Elaine played dumb: "What? I'm all alone here."

Franklin, obviously unconvinced, spoke with an expressionless face, "What are you doing here all alone"

Elaine lifted the little puppy in her arms and began to make things up: °! was taking care of him here, and I accidentally fell asleep, and then I heard you calling me.' Franklin's face sank, swept a glance at the dog in her arms, and looked at her again, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump, his expression became even more ugly. Elaine just wanted to get out of this battlefield, she turned around and put the dog into the maid's arms: "You give it to Darnell for me, take care of it ah." Saying that, she hastily tugged her father's arm and pulled him out: "Dad, come on, I'm sleepy, I want to go home and sleep!"

Franklin said, "Didn't you sleep all afternoon"

She said, "I was wrong, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, go home and eat!"

Doesn't Darnell have any food here?

Elaine was stunned, "Huh?"

Franklin took a few steps forward and sat down in the sofa: "Just in time, I haven't eaten dinner either, let's eat together and go back."

"Dad......

"

Franklin said, "Aren't you hungry? What a waste of time to go back."

Elaine never expected him to do this, and was in a dilemma when Darnell's voice came from the second floor, ordering the maids, "Go prepare dinner." The maid nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Elaine gave Damell a desperate wink, but to no avail.

She was just about to say something when Franklin said, "Sit down.

Elaine was so shocked by this tone of her dad's voice that she immediately sat down next to him.

Darnell came downstairs and sat across from them.

Franklin slowly spoke up: "Elaine, although this is your uncle's house, you can't be rude, and you can't just fall asleep like you did today."

When he spoke, he was looking at Darnell.

The word "uncle" was especially emphasized.

Darnell looked frank, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Elaine retorted with discontent, "Dad, what are you talking about, when did my mom have a brother"

Franklin "hissed" and turned his head to look at her with a frown.

Elaine moved to the side, mouth continued: "It is, that is the nominal call, and not really"

Then how, one day is a teacher for life, you call him a day uncle, then he is your ...... lifetime

"Then why didn't you think of that when you asked me to marry him'

Franklin: ....."""

He coughed and turned the tables on Darnell again, "I thought you said you were the only one here, so when did he come back'

Etaine was about to rack her brain and continue to make things up when Damell spoke up lightly: "I just got back, Elaine slept in the guest room and didn't know."

Franklin's face is full of the words, "Do you see what I believe?

It didn't take long for the maid to come up and tell them dinner was ready, slightly breaking the tense and awkward atmosphere.

Yet it wasn't much better when sitting at the dinner table.

Franklin didn't eat much the whole time, just looked at Darnell coldly, while Darnell was not affected in the slightest, but instead whispered as Elaine bit into her chopsticks and looked left and right, "Eat well." Elaine immediately lowered her head and concentrated on picking up her food.

Franklin, seeing this, was even more dissatisfied, and he coughed heavily, thus demonstrating his dignity as a father.

Elaine lifted her head and asked in a small voice, "Daddy, is your throat uncomfortable, is it a cold? It's quite cold with the temperature dropping these two days, you should wear more ......" Franklin: "....."

He gave Elaine a no-nonsense look, "Eat your dinner."

Elaine gave an "oh" and lowered her head again.

The meal was not a good match for both sides' auras, but it didn't stop Elaine from eating at all.

At first it was a littte hard to eat, but at the back, she focused all her attention on the plate of sweet and sour pork in front of her: "This is so delicious!"

Damell said, "If you like it, come over later and have them make it for you"

Franklin snorted, "When we get back, I'l have the best chef in the world come and make you whatever you want to eat."

"

......

don't bother so much, I'll just come here to eat....."

Franklin put down his chopsticks, "Are you done eating? When you're done, go home."

Elaine took another bite of the ribs: "There, there."

As she walked, she turned her head and waved goodbye to Damell.

Franklin, fearing a repeat of last night's scene, immediately took her by the hand and forcibly dragged her out.

The corner of Darnell's mouth lifted as he watched the scene.

When they left, the maid came over with the little puppy in her arms: "Master of Riverside, this is brought by Miss James, what should we do with it?" Darnell withdrew his gaze: "Feed him something, and when you're done with him, bring it to my room."

Darnell returned to the bedroom, walked over to the couch, and picked up the backpack Elaine had left on the floor.

The zipper of the backpack was not opened, and several books fell down with a sound.

Darnell crouched on one leg and knee, picked up the books one by one and put them in, his eyes finally fell on an envelope. Meanwhile, the car. Knowing that her dad was pissed off today, Elaine consciously leaned against the window and distanced herself from him.

She whispered, "Daddy, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong ....."

You know you're wrong and you just won't change?

Elaine retorted, "But I already like him, and you let us get married before, and now you won't let me be with him, Dad, you're really weird" "L....." Franklin almost lost his breath, "Elaine, Dad let you marry him before because I still had the ability to protect you, but now ......" Elaine blinked, "Now what?"

Franklin swallowed his words and swallowed them back.

After a while, he spoke up, "Elaine, did you go to my study today?"

Elaine nodded.

Franklin added, "! have a few books on my desk, have you ...... seen them?"

At that, Elaine suddenly remembered something: "I put it in my school bag!"

Where's the book bag?"

Forgot my book bag at Damell's.....

Franklin rubbed his brow, "Forget it."

Etaine immediately said, "Dad, are those books important? I'll get them back for you first thing in the morning!"

It's not important! You stay at home tomorrow and don't go anywhere!

Elaine bristled, "That's fine"

Franklin was going to say something, but turned his head and saw Elaine's slightly swollen mouth, and instantly did not want to say anything, sitting alone in his seat and sulking. And Elaine was in a happy mood, humming along without noticing anything.
