Chapter 143 You Really Want Me to Leave?
Not everything would be as successful as today. If something really happened to her, there might not even be a chance to save her.
The outside was noisy for a while. Finally, it slowly calmed down. It was almost time. Damon did not have time to say goodbye to Old Master Bai. He took Adele and left Fuyo Garden directly.
When the matter of Frank came, it was undoubtedly not a big shit on Old Master Bai’s head. They were busy with their own things and naturally could not care about anything else.
Returning to the small apartment, Adele dragged his scarred body back to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and went out. He saw Damon sitting on the sofa, with no intention of leaving.
Thinking back to the previous times when Damon came to her place, Adele felt a little guilty. She walked forward and said softly, “It’s getting late. I’m going to take a shower and take a rest.”
In other words, it was time for him to leave.
When Damon heard this, he seemed to not understand what she meant. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Are you hungry?”
Adele was stunned and quickly reacted. Was she planning to use cooking to stay?
“I’m not hungry,” she said, taking a deep breath.
She had eaten a lot at the banquet and was indeed not hungry.
When Damon heard this, an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes. He got up and casually unbuttoned the buttons on the cuffs of his shirt and rolled them up.
“Alright, I’ll help you bathe then,” he said as he walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Adele’s eyes instantly widened as she looked at Damon in disbelief.
Did she hear it right? He actually said that he wanted to help her bathe!
“Wait!”
Adele hurriedly called out to stop him. She summoned her courage and said, “This is my home. I can bathe myself. If you have nothing to do, then leave first!”
If she hadn’t retained her rationality, she would have thought that the two of them were still husband and wife!
“The wound can’t touch water. How are you going to wash it like this?” Damon said calmly as he swept a glance at the wound on her body.
He had taken the initiative to lower himself to help her, but why did she look so reluctant instead?
“Then… I won’t wash it!” Adele hurriedly changed his words.
It was already embarrassing enough for her to reveal her back to him in Hibiscus Garden just now, let alone take a bath!
Damon raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had seen through her thoughts. He did not say much, but his gaze was suddenly attracted by the necklace on her neck.
When she came back from Hibiscus Garden, she had been wrapped in his suit. He did not notice the necklace on her neck at all. But now that she had changed into pajamas, the necklace was shining and very eye-catching.
It was the one that Owen gave her last time!
Damon’s eyes darkened. Before he could say anything, the phone in his pocket rang.
He took it out and saw the name of the woman flashing on the screen. The hand holding the phone tightened.
It was a call from Clara.
Standing at the side, Adele looked up and saw the two words “Clara” on the screen. His heart instantly understood.
Damon raised his hand, pressed the answer button, and walked to the side. “Hello, Clara.”
“Damon, didn’t you say that you would come to see me at the end of today’s birthday banquet? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time…”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“I was delayed by something,” Damon replied faintly.
“Then… are you coming again tonight? I don’t feel at ease seeing you.” Clara asked, unwilling to give up.
Damon’s eyes darkened. After pausing for a few seconds, he said softly, “I can’t leave for a while. I’ll visit you tomorrow. Be obedient and rest well.”
On the other side of the line, although Clara was disappointed, he still agreed in the end. “Alright, I’ll wait for you to come and see me tomorrow…”
Hanging up the phone, Damon turned around and saw Adele standing diagonally behind him, staring at him.
A woman’s intuition had always been accurate and terrifying. Adele looked away, his throat somewhat tight.
She had heard what Damon had said just now, so she could naturally guess what Clara had said.
Now, Damon had stayed behind for her and had not gone to look for Clara. Although she was surprised, she knew very well in her heart that Damon was only trying to make up for her for what had happened tonight.
“Actually, I’m fine. I can take care of myself. You can go and do your work.” She forced out a smile and pretended to be indifferent.
Hearing the woman’s alienated tone, Damon frowned. He took half a step forward and stared at her and asked, “Do you really want me to go?”
Now that she was covered in wounds and it was inconvenient for her to move, he naturally would not leave her alone.
“I’m really fine,” Adele did not dare to look him in the eye.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Damon pursed his thin lips tightly and did not speak for a long time. His gaze moved down and landed on the necklace on her neck. His expression became a little uglier.
Sensing that the expression of the man in front of her was not right, Adele followed his gaze and looked down. When he saw the necklace, he was first stunned and quickly reacted.
She quickly reached out and stuffed the necklace into her clothes.
“You like it so much?” Damon frowned.
She liked it so much that she knew he hated it, but she still had to put it on.
“No.”
Adele said casually, his hands reaching behind his neck, trying to take off the necklace.
Suddenly, his wrist was held by someone, and the man’s low voice sounded in his ear, “Don’t you like it? Why do you want to take it?”
Hearing the displeasure in the man’s tone, Adele gathered up the courage to turn around and meet his eyes.
A thin layer of anger appeared in Damon’s eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed.
“Damon, you have such a big reaction. Are you jealous?” Adele said.
She was single, so why couldn’t she accept gifts from other men?
A trace of surprise flashed through Damon’s eyes. A few seconds later, he loosened his grip on Adele and snorted coldly, “Is that possible?”.
Seeing the man’s reaction, Adele felt a surge of sourness in his heart. Sure enough, Damon did not care about her at all. The reason why he was angry was purely out of possessiveness.
“Then don’t worry about me,” she said firmly.
The emotions in Damon’s eyes flashed. He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Adele, have you forgotten? It was my teacher who ordered me to protect you.”.
Hearing him use Professor Wes to suppress her, Adele felt a surge of anger in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “What if I don’t listen!”.
Damon frowned slightly. He did not expect that Adele would actually argue with him. He took half a step forward and stared at her clear eyes. “You can ignore it, but the teacher is still in the hospital. If he knows that you are like this, can he bear it?”.
This sentence made Adele lose his confidence.
Damon was right. Now that Professor Wes was still in the hospital, his body was weak and he could not be angry at all. If this matter was spread to him, he did not know how to end it.
Biting her lip, Adele took off the necklace and looked at Damon. “Can you leave now?” she asked word by word.
“I don’t plan to leave tonight.” Damon looked at her and remained silent for a long time before she lifted her lips and said, “I don’t plan to leave tonight.”
