The surrounding light is very dark, without a trace of light.
Elaine stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss Darnell when he wasn't looking.
Which i know did not judge well, the brain hit his jaw.
She let out a sigh of pain, and just as she was about to retreat, her waist was wrapped around
someone.
The next second, her back was against the wall.
Before Elaine had time to react, a faint tingle came to her lips.
Unlike the last gentle kiss, Elaine could clearly feel that his force had increased and she was almost out
of breath.
Elaine unconsciously clutched the shirt around his waist and just when she felt like she was going to
suffocate, he fet go of her.
After along time, Darnell said, "Elaine, at all times, the choice is yours.”
She can come to his side and he will clear all obstacles.
You can also return to a quiet life, away from the James family's strife.
Elaine, her breath slightly panting, whispered, “I will always choose you.”
Darnell held her with emotion on his face, overshadowed by the silent darkness.
She was like a ray of sunshine, desperately squeezing into his world.
But on the contrary, there are always people who try to put out the light.
Therefore, he could not give her any promises.
After leaving the tennis stadium, Elaine sat in her car and fell asleep on Darnell's shoulder.
She held her hand tightly around his arm as if she was afraid he would suddenly leave.
It wasn't long before Damell's cell phone rang and the person on the other end said, “Master of
Riverside, your mother
wants you to come back now.”
Darnell answered faintly.
Hanging up the phone, he looked sideways at the young girl next to him and spoke, “Franklin should be
planning to send
her to Switzerland, bring up the arrangements and don't let the James family get anywhere near her,
especially Caesar.”
The assistant in the front row nodded and was silent before saying, “Miss James once she leaves
Riverside City .....”
The latter words, he did not say, but it is obvious.
Once Elaine leaves, Franklin's situation will be dangerous.
Darnell didn't say anything and looked out the window.
Franklin has his own choices and beliefs to uphold.
No matter what the outcome, he will live and die with the James family.
Elaine was still sound asleep until she was brought home.
Darnell laid her down on the bed, tucked her in again, and stared at her for a long time before turning to
leave.
the James family.
Christine Underwood sits in the living room with a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and her eyes
closed.
It was not until the sound of footsteps came from the door that she slowly opened her eyes.
Darnell stood next to her, “Mother wants to see me for something?”
Christine gestured, "Have a seat.”
She poured her tea, °I heard that you took a shot at THE McPherson family.”
Darnell sat across from her and gave a faint hmm.
Christine added: “the McPherson family although the family is into the James family, but this person,
ambition and means
are not simple, since he can be under your nose, unite the James family people together against you,
and can cooperate with the
foreign forces. I know you well, you should find out what people are behind him before uprooting them."
Damell’s thin lips are pursed and silent.
“Darnell, you've been impulsive this time.” Christine spoke slowly, “Is it for that girl Elaine.’
Darnell did not answer, just said: "Behind Cari is Caesar, he has pressed on, Carl is now in trouble, the
entire the James
family no one dares to help, the effect is the same.”
“But who is behind Caesar again, now I'm afraid even you, are not sure”
Christine continued: "Since you started on this path, I know that every choice you make is well thought
out, and you are
carrying on your shoulders, not only your grandfather's will, but also the future of the whole the James
family. So I don't want to see
you get emotionally involved, and I don't want you to lose everything you've gotten before because of
this.’
“Of course, as your mother, I hope more than anyone else that you can marry and have children, have
your own family, and
be happy and joyful. But what you are walking, is originally a one-way bridge, and with one more
person, the bridge will collapse and
your heart will be in chaos. Compared to that, I would prefer that you live well”
“If her presence, one day, threatens your life, then I won't keep her either”
Darnell said, "She'll be in Switzerland in a while, your worries are unwarranted.”
Christine guffawed, "That would certainly be best.’
She paused and added, “I'm not against you being with anyone, but you have to remember that you
can't give your heart
away"
Darnell gently raised his eyes and looked at his mother, his tone unperturbed: "So you let her marry me
because you were
sure I wouldn't develop any feelings for her, right?”
Christine did not deny: “Elaine is just a little girl, you watched growing up, when her grandfather and I
set up your marriage, but also follow your grandfather's will, want to use your relationship, to maintain
the balance of the James family, now no longer need.”
Darnell got up: “Il understand what you are saying, but she is an individual, she can call off her
engagement because she doesn't want to be tied down, or she can do whatever she wants to do
because she likes it, none of this is an excuse for you to arrange to manipulate her life, much less hold
me hostage with her life.”
Christine sniffed, lost his smite: “I am your mother, I said only a few words alone, you think, I am using
her life to blackmail you, that if she fell in the hands of the James family people, or even those who
want your life ...... °
“You just need to stop holding onto that idea and I'll take care of everything”
Christine sat there for a long time before speaking, “Darnell, I just don’t want you to follow in your
father's footsteps again”
Darnell said, “No.”
Seeing his attitude so determined, Christine sighed: “Let's see, when she comes back from
Switzerland, if you still like each other, I will never stop you, by then, the Riverside City side of things,
there should also be an understanding.”
Hearing this, Darnell but just a smile.
Both Franktin, and his mother, mentioned this statement.
That's because they both knew that Elaine would never return to Riverside City.
Even if she comes back, it is no longer possible for her to run to him as righteously as she always does
now.
As for him, it was the same idea.
Half the time, Darnell spoke: “Mother rest early, the James family will not have any more movement in
the meantime.”
Christine frowned slightly, “They're plotting something.”
“Next month, the Franklin birthday party.’ Darnell said, turning his head to look at Christine, "I'd like to
ask Mother to do me a favor”
Christine nodded, "Go ahead.”
“Go see Franklin once before the birthday party”
“You ......
“If he can be convinced to leave Riverside City with Elaine, Mother should be able to rest a little easier”
Christine responded, "Darnell, I didn't mean that ......”
