Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 69

Violet stood still in front of him. His current expression looked so strange!

His eyebrows were tightly knitted, making his dashing face look tense. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s… Violet could sense that his mood had sunk terribly. The temperatures around them had also dropped by quite a bit. Scrutinizing him with her eyes, Violet asked cautiously, “Hey, what’s the matter with you?”

Jack did not answer. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line as the darkness in his eyes became murkier.

A possibility entered the clever girl’s mind. Startled at first, Violet raised her hand and waved it lightly in front of his eyes. He did not respond. Could it be? Was it because he had lost his sight again?

She retracted her hand and bit her lip. What the heck was this? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She raised her eyes and looked at the skies, where the dark clouds had accumulated densely like it was the end of the world. The light had dimmed but surely not to the extent of blinding one’s vision! This was merely weather that was slightly gloomier than an average cloudy day!

“What should I do now?” Violet looked at him and asked, “Should we get Michael to come over and pick us up?”

Jack was slightly taken aback. Had she noticed?

“Have you lost your sight?” Violet asked directly. It was not a secret to her anyway.

He did not answer. It was silent acquiescence.

“Call Michael,” she suggested.

“What would he think?” Jack spoke in a low and deep voice. “That we’re on a date on the mountain?”

“Hiking! What date?” She had not thought so much. “Are there no more platonic friendships between guys and girls?

“We’re trending already. Platonic friendship?”

Violet was despondent as well. “But he is one of your people,” she pouted. “It’s not a date if you say it isn’t. Why wouldn’t he believe you?”

Jack took a deep breath. “You may not contact him!” He could not be bothered explaining himself.

“Then we won’t contact him! Why are you so fierce? I don’t have his contact details anyway.” Violet looked at him unhappily. Why was he still so bad–tempered even when he was blind? Was he not worried that she would dump him on the mountain?

Jack had calmed down a little. He narrowed his cold eyes.

“Then tell me, what do you want to do now?” Violet asked. They could not just stay where they were; it was about to rain.

Jack had not checked the weather forecast. He had not expected the weather to change so drastically.

There was no one to blame but himself. He was the one who had brought her here.

“Have you decided?” Violet raised her eyes and looked at the sky. “I don’t think the sun will come out for at least another half an hour. It may even

rain!”

“It’s not ‘may‘ rain. It’ll definitely rain.” Jack said in a deep voice. He could feel that something was amiss whenever he heard the whistling wind.

“That’s why! President Yancey, you don’t want to ask for help so are you planning to head down the mountain with me? Or should we both wait on the mountain until the rain is over?”

“What if it rains for three days?” Jack’s long and thin eyebrows scrunched up slightly.

Violet pondered. “Then what if I lead you down the mountain? We gotta go quickly if we want to leave, it’s going to rain!”

He did not answer. This was the most embarrassing day in his life!

“Okay?” Violet looked at him. She had to ask for his approval; she could not drag him off.

Jack stretched out his right hand. Violet glanced at it; long and lanky with distinct bone structure. His hand looked really nice. She smiled and intertwined her fingers with his. As the palms of their hands exchanged body heat, a subtle electric current flowed to the bottom of their hearts. It was a remarkably wonderful feeling for them; they had never felt like this in their entire lives.

“Let’s go Violet gave him a look. Despite the fact that the rough winds had messed up his hair, he was still as charming as

ever. She took a step and began to lead him forward.

Jack held her hand tenderly. She was an invisible guiding force in the dark.

There were also relatively spacious steps that led them downhill. However, it was going to take him at least half an hour to reach the bottom in their current situation.
