Darnell said, "Mother is right, I choose to be a one-way street, and a man like me should not have any
ties, so when the time comes I will send Mother away with them.”
After he finished, he gave a slight nod to Christine and then left.
Christine watched his back and let out along sigh.
She got up and went out of the hall and walked to the back garden.
Christine chose a rose and placed it on this side of the statue.
Here her husband is buried.
Darnell's father, when he was less than three years old, died at the hands of an enemy.
Initially, Christine hated and resented, and even locked herself in her room for a while and refused to
come out.
Since then, Bancroft James has taken Darnell under his wing, grooming him to be the next head of the
James family.
After Christine came out of her grief, she put all her hopes on Darnell and told him more than once to
avenge his father's death.
On the day Darnell turned eighteen, he managed to get his revenge.
Since then, Master of Riverside's reputation has been a scandal to all.
Over the years, Christine has silently watched this son, step by step, get to where he is today,
accomplishing what his father never did.
She also understands that being in this position, if you are not ruthless to others, then others will be a
thousand times more ruthless to you.
Darnell's father was a living example of that.
So she can betroth Damell to take a woman he doesn't love.
But do not want to see that he hesitates and hesitates for anyone.
Once he has a concern in his heart, he will never be able to make a decision as fast as before, he will
first worry about the person who is most important to him.
It can also give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Christine stroked the statue and silently poured out these concerns to her husband in her mind.
Elaine slept straight through the night. She opened her eyes, looked out the window at the dark sky,
stretched out, her head was drowsy, and for a moment she thought she was dreaming in the middle of
the night.
Elaine had just tried to lift the covers and get up when she felt her arms were sore and weak, obviously
from the after- effects of exercise.
She rolled around in bed for a while longer and picked up her phone breathlessly to find that Natasha
had sent her a number of voices.
Natasha: “Elaine did you get home yet, let me tell you, when I got changed and went out, I met the guy
who just asked for
our number, I told him we were only seventeen and his face became so wonderful, he laughed me to
death”
Natasha: “Elaine are you tired, I'm lying in the sofa now, I don't want to move at all, my arms and legs
are so sore, it seems that I still have to go to exercise regularly, when we go again ah.”
The next few sentences after that are daily chatting and trolling.
Elaine replied to her as she went into the bathroom to wash up.
She was also wearing a tennis sports suit with a high ponytail, and it would not be an exaggeration to
say that she was a 17 or 18 year old high school girl.
Elaine took a bath or her arms and legs were still sore, so she simply soaked in the tub and stretched
her meridians.
Not long after, the maid knocked on the door, "Miss, you haven't eaten dinner yet, I've prepared fruits.”
Elaine responded, “Bring it in”
The maid walked in and placed the fruit plate on the small table next to where she was.
Elaine played with the bubbles on the water, “Is my dad back.”
The servant said, “His Lordship has not yet”
Elaine thought for a moment, "So Darnell was the one who carried me back when I came back?"
The maid nodded, "Master of Riverside has sent Miss back twice.”
Elaine had an even brighter smile on her face and even hummed happily.
When the maid left, Elaine quickly climbed out of the bathtub, wiped the water off her body, put on her
pajamas, and ran to the bed, took out her cell phone, adjusted her sitting position to clear her throat,
and dialed a video call to Damell.
The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.
Are you still busy at this late hour.
Elaine beamed and was just about to put the phone down when the phone rang.
tt was Darnell who called.
She immediately picked up and said happily, “Are you done?"
Darnell said, "Well, awake from your nap?"
Since he dialed a voice call, Elaine lost her image and collapsed on the bed: “I woke up from a nap, I
just took a shower, but my arms are so sore, I have no energy, it's like being run over by a big truck”
Darnell: ".....”
He said, "Where did you go to learn these adjectives.”
Elaine blinked and flopped back on her pillow, not betraying Natasha: "Don't remember where I heard
that”
Darnell said, “Get some rest early and get up after a good night's sleep”
“But I can't sleep, I've been sleeping all afternoon.”
“Then take a towel and put it on hot."
Elaine whispered, “I can't twist it.’
On the other end of the phone, Darnell paused: “Want to go to the hospital.”
Elaine quickly shook her head: “No, no, just leave it like this, I used to have sore hands after playing
tennis, but I'll be fine after a while, this time I guess I haven't played for too long”
She whispered, "Just stay with me for a while”
Damell said, "You tell me.”
Elaine stared at the screen, “Can you turn on the video?”
"I'm taking a shower”
Elaine's eyes instantly lit up with more anticipation: "Then I can watch ......”
“Can't”
Elaine pouted and fell back on the bed, thought about it for fear he might misunderstand or tried her
best to find a remedy,
“I just wanted to see your bathroom, not the other way around”
Darnell was worn out by her: “Elaine, you're a girl.”
“Of course I know I'ma girl, I'm just ...... curious about it.” With that, she immediately said, “Curious
about what your bathroom looks like.’
“You didn't come in for a visit”
“what...”
Halfway through the conversation, some dead memories suddenly began to attack her.
Elaine does remember that she slept in his bathtub when she was drunk, but the memory of the latter
has long been a blur,
where so clear.
She justified it by saying, "I forgot."
Immediately after, a further request was made, "So can I visit again?”
“Can't”
Elaine: “......"
What the hell, always reject her.
She muttered in a small voice, “You say you can't can't every time, so what is can.
Darnell glanced at the clock: “It's time for you to go to bed”
Elaine was going to say she wasn't sleepy, but then she thought that although she wasn't, Darnell
should be.
She compromised quickly, “Okay then, good night. May your dreams be filled with me.”
After hanging up the phone, Elaine collapsed on her bed, clutching her phone and giggling.
She was so happy that she hit her head on the wail, which made her grin in pain, but she couldn't
control her desire to laugh.
So this is how it feels to be in love.
On the other hand, Darnell held his phone, thought for a moment, then retied his half-unbuttoned shirt,
grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.
