Elaine jerked up and ran outside.
Aaron tugged at the rope untied half: "Hey, you can give me finished ......"
He could only pick up the pocket knife on the ground and fend for himself.
Elaine ran to the door, but saw only Nathan standing there in the aftermath, the car behind him, was gone.
Nathan said, "Miss James, let me take you back to the hotel."
Elaine withdrew her gaze and asked bluntly, "How did you know I was here."
Nathan said, "Mr. Conrad was at City H today talking about a partnership and just heard Miss James was here and
the hotel side said ......"
Elaine didn't believe it: "There's no such thing as a coincidence."
She said, taking out her cell phone and dialing Stella's number.
Stella picked up, "Elaine, what's up?"
Elaine said, "Sister, is Clarence home."
Stella said, "Yes, he's taking Noah to the shower, do you want to see him for something."
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
Hanging up the phone, Elaine looked at Nathan without saying a word.
Nathan unnaturally touched his nose: "Miss James ......"
Elaine put away her phone and lowered her eyes, "Forget it."
At that moment, Aaron came running out from inside, looked at Nathan, and asked Elaine, "Who is this."
Elaine said to Nathan, "I'll just go back by myself, thank you for today."
"Miss James is very kind."
Elaine turned around and walked quickly forward.

Aaron followed up and repeated the question, "Who was that just now, your friend?"
Elaine hmmed lightly, stopped and said, "Don't follow me, go to the hospital."
Aaron was covered in blood, and no part of his face was intact.
He gently touched the corner of his eye and immediately hissed in pain: "How can that be, I'll take you back to the
hotel first, don't get caught again."
Elaine raised her hand to stop a cab, pushed Aaron in, and after saying to the driver, "Please go to the hospital,"
she said to Aaron, "You can still walk by yourself, so I won't take you there. I'm not in a very good mood and want to
be alone, sorry."
After saying that, she just closed the car door.
Aaron: "......"
Only after the cab left did Elaine call a cab of her own, quoting the location of the hotel and looking out the window
in disbelief.
If he was here, why didn't he want to see her?
When she arrived at the hotel, Elaine went to the convenience store next to her and bought a bottle of water and
sat there, wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, a light rain fell from the sky.
Elaine picked up her bag, turned around and walked towards the hotel, and just after two steps, two drunken men
came out from inside.
She could have stepped to the side and avoided them.
But Elaine went head-on.
The two men did spot her and whistled and struck up a conversation, "Beauty, join us for a drink."
Elaine turned her head and looked at them with a calm face, "No."
One of them was so drunk that he reached out his hand and tried to pull her.
But just as his hand reached mid-air, it was blocked.
The two men just wanted to seize, raised their eyes and saw a pair of cold black eyes, they immediately sobered up
a few points of alcohol, and rushed away.
Elaine stood there with a slight stiffness in her spine, her hand unconsciously gripping the bag strap and biting her
lower lip tightly.
But in a matter of seconds, Darnell took her hand and went straight into the hotel.
All the way, he did not speak, the air pressure was low.
When she got into the room, Darnell let go of her, his voice slightly cold: "Elaine, do you know what you're doing."
Elaine looked up at him, "If I don't do this, are you not going to see me?"
Darnell's thin lips pursed slightly and did not speak.
Elaine's voice was uncontrollably choked up: "You clearly said that you would come to pick me up when you were
done with Riverside City. So for the past two years, I've been alone and quiet, I've been studying hard, doing what I
like, and not bothering you. But why didn't you come to pick me up?"
Only after the words were said did she feel the tears wetting her eyes long ago.
Elaine turned her head sideways and wiped the tears from her face.
She deliberately told Vincent that she was not going back to Riverside City and was coming to City H.
She knew for sure that Vincent would tell him.
She wanted him to come and pick her up.
But he arrived at City H, clearly in front of her eyes, but did not get out of the car.
If she hadn't deliberately approached the two drunken men tonight, he probably wouldn't have shown up.
Elaine calmed down for a while and spoke up again: "Since you're not here to pick me up forget it, I'm fine staying
here, anyway my dad is gone, I don't want to go back to Riverside City, why not just stay here, I can still ...... later "
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips and tongue were blocked.
Darnell pinned her against the wall, his hands imprisoned around her waist, his movements full of force and
predation.
Elaine's breath was full of his scent.

She threw down the water in her hand, wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head in response.
Darnell lifted her up and moved forward on his legs, sitting in the couch.
The room has not had time to turn on the lights, only the light reflecting in from the street outside the window.
The colorful, light and strange.
Render the ambiguous atmosphere to the extreme.
Elaine sat on top of him, taking the initiative to some extent, and she bit his lips, slightly harder, only to have him
regain the initiative just as she was about to have her way.
At the end of the long kiss, Elaine lay on his shoulder and spoke with a nasal sound that comes only after crying:
"I've been waiting for you."
Darnell placed his hand on her waist and spoke only after a long time: "Ariel went to see you."
Elaine said, "I don't believe her words, never have."
Darnell said, "What if what she says is true."
Elaine slowly withdrew from his arms, even through a layer of heavy night, her eyes looked at him firmly and
brightly: "I said I would always trust you. If my father's death was really arranged by you long ago, then you
wouldn't have kept rejecting me. If you really want to control my father, just keep me by your side from the
beginning."
Darnell laughed silently, "Elaine, am I that trustworthy?"
Elaine habitually played with his buttons: "I've heard from many people how terrible you are, but never heard
anyone, denigrate you a single time. Including my great-grandfather, who complimented you many times during his
lifetime."
"When?"
Elaine thought about it: "I don't remember. I overheard it secretly when he was talking to my dad. My dad's
greatest wish before his accident was to get me out of Riverside City. If his death had anything to do with you, you
wouldn't have specifically asked Clarence to pick me up."
It was too much for Riverside City at that time, and the car was tampered with when her dad dropped her off at the
very beginning.
Who knows what the next accident will be.
But Clarence coming to pick her up himself would guarantee that, she could leave safely.
