NovelEnglishA Man And A Woman Alone When Raegan opened her eyes, she couldn't help frowning.
She looked around.
The surrounding was modernist decor of black, white and grey.
It didn’t look familiar to her, but it was obviously a man's room.
Raegan was about to get up when she heard the door open.
"You're finally awake.
How are you feeling now?" Henley said as he quickly walked over to help her sit up.
Raegan touched her forehead and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why am I here?” "You've fainted.
But the doctor said it was nothing serious.
You were just too tired.
You will be fine after taking some rest.
Unfortunately, I can't send you home because I don't know where you live.
I have no choice but to take you to my home." Raegan pursed her lips, still digesting the fact that she had woken up in another
man’s place.
Henley must have seen through her mind.
He said apologetically, "Raegan, I'm sorry.
I Know it's not appropriate.
I called Nicole to pick you up, but she was not answering her phone." Henley's words made Raegan feel embarrassed.
How could she even think badly of the person who saved her? If it weren't for Henley, she wouldn't be here safe and sound.
With this realization, she said softly, "It's okay, Henley.
Thank you for your help.
I owe you one again.” Henley looked at Raegan.
It broke his heart to see her haggard face.
He felt so sorry for her.
He took a deep breath and said, "Raegan...
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw your husband leave with a woman in his arms.
He...” Henley paused, frowned, and asked, "Are you all right with that? Did he treat you badly?" Raegan was silent for a moment.
She didn't know how to answer his questions.
When Henley noticed her silence, he hurriedly said, "Forget it.
It doesn't matter.” He stood up and added, "Do you want to stay here for a while, or do you want me to send you back now?"
Raegan thought for a while.
She was a married woman, and Henley was a single man.
It was inappropriate for them to stay alone in the same place at this late hour anymore.
So, she asked Henley to send her home.
When they got to the car, Henley opened the door for Raegan like a gentleman.
After getting in the car, he opened a bottle of water and handed it to her.
“Thank you, Henley.
You're so thoughtful." Raegan took the bottle, took a sip, and put it in the bottle holder.
After driving on the road for a while, they started to encounter a traffic jam.
Henley checked the navigation system and found there was an accident on the viaduct.
Since he could only drive slowly, he chatted with Raegan to keep her from getting bored.
He talked about his embarrassing experiences when he studied abroad.
Henley's sense of humor diverted Raegan’s attention.
His stories piqued her interest, making her forget her problems momentarily.
At times, she couldn't help bursting into laughter when Henley told her some funny stories.
Henley stole a glance at Raegan.
And when he saw her bright smile, he felt like they had returned to their college days.
Then he looked straight ahead.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said amusingly, "Finally, it doesn’t look like you are my abductee.” Raegan felt
embarrassed again.
She looked at her reflection in the car window and said, "You're exaggerating it." "Of course not.
Then he added, "But you still look good even if you don't smile." Raegan chuckled.
"Henley, you must be popular among women.
I bet you have a lot of admirers.” Aside from being handsome, Henley was a gentleman with a very good sense of humor.
"Well, you're right about that.
But I haven't been in love since college,” Henley replied.
"Really? Why?" Raegan asked in surprise.
She didn't expect it.
After all, Henley was a good catch.
While turning the steering wheel, Henley replied casually, "Because the woman I like is already married." "Oh, alright." Raegan
didn't say anything more.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
She thought it must be a heartbreaking experience for Henley, and she didn't want to remind him of this sad memory.
Besides, she didn't mean to pry into his private life.
Then, she comforted him, “Henley, don't worry.
You are an excellent man.
I believe that you will meet your Miss Right in the future.” Henley said gently, "Thanks.
I hope so.” Finally, they passed through the viaduct.
But they had to stop again when the traffic light turned red.
Henley took the bottled water from the bottle holder and was about to drink it.
When Raegan saw this, she realized it was the same bottle she had just drunk.
She subconsciously stopped him.
"Henley, that bottle...” But it was too late.
Henley had already drunk the water.
After drinking, Henley looked at the bottle.
Then, he said apologetically.
"Sorry, I didn't notice it until now.” Raegan felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the traffic lights changed.
Henley stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
After the traffic lights, the flow of traffic was smooth.
Henley drove faster this time.
At this moment, Raegan felt a little sleepy..
She wasn't sure if it was because of the heavy traffic jam Just now or Henley's excellent driving skills.
But one thing was for sure.
Ever since she got pregnant, she often felt sleepy.
Soon, her eyelids felt heavier, and she fell asleep.
After a while, the gray Mercedes-Benz arrived at the Crystal Bay and pulled over steadily.
But Henley didn't wake Raegan up.
Instead, he turned off the engine and sat quietly in the driver's seat, waiting for her to wake up.
He adjusted the air conditioner to the right temperature, then he stared at her sleeping face quietly.
The Raegan in his car now looked a bit different from the Raegan he knew in college.
Back then, she had a chubby face that made her look cute and innocent.
But now, she had lost some weight.
Her chin became pointed, making her face look smaller and more delicate.
There was no doubt that she looked pure yet bewitching.
She had a face that could easily arouse men’s pity and affection.
Henley's eyes darkened for a moment.
He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his slender fingers, then picked up the bottle of water and drank it.
The water touched his lips, passed through his tongue, and flowed down his throat.
For some reason, he felt that the water tasted sweeter than ever.
Outside the car, the night was peaceful and calm.
When the wind blew, the leaves of the trees swayed, making the pale moonlight seep through the gaps and shower on Raegan's
beautiful sleeping face.
Such a picture was very pleasing to the eye.
It was as if she was about to wake up.
Suddenly, he leaned over and gently brushed the hair off her face.
His posture was ambiguous.
If one looked from afar, it seemed like he was kissing her.
At this time, Raegan opened her eyes.
She was in a daze.
Henley's hand was still on her head.
He wanted to take it back, but it was too late.
She was stunned.
Then she exclaimed, "Henley?" Raegan's round eyes were fixed on Henley, which made his heart skip a beat.
He tried his best to calm himself down.
Then he withdrew his hand and smiled gently.
"I'm just afraid that your hair will be stained by the ointment." "Is that so? Thank you then." After saying this, Raegan's eyes
darkened.
She had thought of something unpleasant.
She got the wound on her face when Lauren hit her with the purse.
Every time she remembered this, anger surged in her heart.
At this moment, Henley opened the car door for Raegan.
The wind outside was a bit chilly, so Henley stood by the car first to shield her body from the wind.
Raegan was very grateful for Henley's help today.
If it weren't for him, she couldn't imagine what could have happened to her after she fainted.
Out of politeness, she should have invited him in and had a cup of tea or something else.
However, it was late at night.
She thought it was a bit inappropriate to invite a man to her apartment at this hour when she was alone.
"Go to bed early to get some rest.
I have to go back to deal with some work.” Henley seemed to have read Raegan's mind.
His words saved her from her predicament.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Henley, thank you again.
I'll make it up to you next time." "Don't mention it.
See you soon,” Henley replied.
"Alright, safe journey home then.” Raegan stood on the side of the road and waved her hand.
She had no idea that a black Bentley had been following them all the way.
At this moment, it was lurking quietly in the dark night, like a wild beast ready to strike at any time.
Inside the car sat Matteo and Mitchel.
The depressing atmosphere in the car was so tense.
Matteo's forehead was covered with layers of sweat.
He felt he had been sitting on pins and needles.
For the first time in his life, he had a deep understanding of being restless.
They had been following Henley’s car from his place to the Crystal Bay.
As soon as Henley pulled over, they saw him kiss Raegan before she got out of the car.
This scene enraged Mitchel even more.
Judging from Mitchel’s scowl, Matteo started to think Mitchel would smash the car with his bare hands out of fury.
At this time, Raegan had already gotten out of the car, and Henley had just gotten into the driver's seat.
However, Mitchel didn't do anything yet, which further Matteo’s unease.
He didn't dare to move or make a sound.
After all, he knew that silence was the prelude of a storm.
At this moment, Mitchel, in the back seat, suddenly ordered in a harsh and cold voice, "Get out of the car." "Mr.
Dixon?” Before Matteo could realize what was going on, he was already pulled out of the car, and Mitchel replaced him in the
driver's seat.
Matteo was left with no choice but to watch Mitchel through the car window.
Mitchel’s face was as attractive as a painting.
But it was hard to tell his plans after taking the driver's seat from his expression, though his eyes were full of fierceness.
Before Matteo could recover from the shock, another shocking thing happened.
A loud bang almost broke his eardrums.
It broke through the silent, dark night.
It turned out that Mitchel’s black Bentley rushed out like a cheetah and crashed into the gray Mercedes- Benz without hesitation,
