Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

Darnell palms the back of her head gently: "How long do you plan to stay here."

 

Elaine said, "I can do it all."

 

Darnell said, "Is it okay to go back the day after tomorrow."

 

"Good!"

 

Darnell was just about to withdraw his hand when Elaine whispered, "Rub it for me again, I'm a little sore there ......"

 

It should have been caused when I was knocked out today.

 

Darnell moved his palm down a few points and rubbed her gently: "Here?"

 

Elaine leaned over his shoulder and nodded gently.

 

His force was not too light, not too heavy, very comfortable, rubbing Elaine began to yawn.

 

After a moment, Darnell let her go, "Go take a shower first, and I'll have the hotel send dinner."

 

Elaine answered and moved her neck into the bathroom.

 

She stood in the mirror before realizing that she was dirty and her face was covered with tear marks mixed with

dust, one after another.

 

There was still some dried blood stuck to his face and body.

 

Fortunately ......

 

Came back with no lights on.

 

When Elaine took a shower, she noticed a little tingling in the corner of her forehead and the back of her head.

 

It looks like the skin should be broken.

 

She finished her shower, looked around, and the only thing in there was the robe from the hotel.

 

Elaine put on her robe, blow dried her hair again, and touched the corner of her forehead, which was really hurting

a bit.

 

When she exited the bathroom, Darnell was on the phone, talking in a low voice to the opposite side.

 

The meal has been delivered.

 

Elaine was so hungry that she went over and grabbed a spoon and started eating.

 

She was halfway through her meal when Darnell approached, his eyes falling on the corner of her forehead.

 

At that moment, Elaine's cell phone rang.

She put down her spoon and looked around, finally fishing her phone out from under the couch.

 

The call was from Aaron.

 

Elaine got through: "Hey, how are you doing?"

 

Aaron said, "I just got out of the hospital, nothing serious, how about you?"

 

"I'm eating."

 

"I remember you're injured too, right? Or I'll pick you up now, better go to the hospital in case you have a

concussion."

 

Elaine was just about to answer when Darnell sat down across from her, picked up the iodine and cotton swabs

nearby, and cleaned her wound.

 

Elaine's lips lifted: "No, I just scratched a little skin, disinfection will do."

 

"Don't be a hero, just say where you don't feel well." Aaron said, "Or I'll change the hotel for you, they already know

you live there, in case they go looking for you again what to do."

 

"No really, I'm safe now."

 

Perhaps sensing that Elaine's tone was very different from before, Aaron on the other end of the line paused: "Who

are you with now?"

 

Elaine looked at Darnell, her head raised slightly, "My uncle."

 

Darnell's hand held the swab and dropped his eyes to meet her gaze.

 

Aaron: "...... that's really safe enough to hang up."

 

Elaine put away her phone and thought better of it and explained, "The boy I was with today is a friend I met in

Switzerland, he's from City H. But I'm not here because of him, I ......"

 

Darnell replaces the swab with a new one, "I know."

 

Elaine's words were withdrawn from her mouth. It's true, Vincent had followed her for the past two years, so he

probably knew every move she made in Switzerland.

 

Darnell finished cleaning her wound and added, "Eat."

 

Elaine let out an "Oh" and picked up her spoon again.

 

Darnell, who presumably still had things to do, turned to a nearby desk and continued working on his work.

 

Elaine finished her meal, leaned back in the couch, and took out her phone to send a message to Aaron.

 

Elaine: [Just lied to you, I'm with my boyfriend].

 

Aaron: [......]

 

Aaron: [Oh.]

 

Aaron: [So your uncle is actually your boyfriend?

 

Elaine: [......]

 

She shouldn't have deliberately tried to tease Darnell just now, and now how to come back.

 

Elaine decided to bite the bullet and deny it.

 

Elaine: [No, my uncle is Clarence Conrad and my boyfriend is my boyfriend].

 

Aaron: [Doesn't get it, goes to sleep.

 

Elaine looked at her phone and cocked her head in some confusion.

 

Why has this person suddenly changed his nature and talk so little.

 

In the past, he could blaze for half a day.

 

It may be because of the bad mood today because of the injury.

 

Elaine replied him with a moon emoji and put down her phone, her eyes blinking, "Uncle, aren't you sleeping yet."

 

Darnell: "......"

 

He looked the same: "I still have things to do, you sleep first."

 

Elaine bristled, but in the end she didn't bother him, got up and walked to the bed and lay down.

 

After a long day of tossing and turning and being kidnapped, Elaine was indeed exhausted.

 

She hadn't been in bed long when her eyelids started fighting.

 

Soon, it fell asleep.

 

I don't know how long it took, but when she was drifting off to sleep, she felt as if her neck had been sprayed with

medicine and someone was gently rubbing it for her.

 

Elaine turned around, her head buried in his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

 

Darnell put down the bottle of medicine in his hand and rubbed her for a while longer before turning off the wall

light and taking her into his arms.

 

What Elaine didn't know was that even if she hadn't deliberately drawn him out tonight, he would have come to see

her.

 

Darnell had been to Switzerland many times over the past two years, but each time he only looked at her from afar.

 

Every day, she is living the life she loves.

 

Calm and peaceful.

 

He also knew exactly what she meant when she told Vincent that she was coming to City H.

 

So, he came to pick her up.

 

......

 

When Elaine opened her eyes the next morning, the room was full of sunlight.

 

She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up.

 

Probably still a bit not awake, the whole person's eyes are a bit empty.

 

At that moment, the bathroom door was opened and Darnell's voice came, "Going out for breakfast or eating at the

hotel?"

 

He had just finished his shower, his hair was half dry, and his shirt was buttoned only to the third button, revealing

his throat and chest.

 

Elaine couldn't help but look down, the vapor-stained shirt was somewhat transparent and vaguely evocative.

 

As she was lost in thought, Darnell called her name: "Elaine."

 

Elaine immediately withdrew her eyes and said with a straight face, "I ...... will eat casually at the hotel, I have to go

out later."

 

"Where to go."

 

"Going to ...... to visit my friend, who is injured, and to visit a teacher."

 

Elaine said, lifted the covers and got out of bed, but because her mind drifted a bit, she didn't pay attention when

she was walking, her slippers rubbed against the ground, and she was unsteady for a moment, jumping directly into

Darnell's arms.

 

Darnell lifted his hand to catch her and spoke slowly, "In such a hurry to see that friend of yours?"

 

Elaine lifted her head to look at him, her eyes curled, "Yeah, you want to join me."

 

"It doesn't seem appropriate to take your uncle to meet your friend."

 

Elaine pressed a smile to the corner of her mouth and knew he minded.

 

She slowly got out of his arms, "Also, then I'd better go by myself."
