Hanging up the phone, Elaine nestled in the back seat and looked over at Darnell: "Is my dad going to be in danger?"
Darnell said, "No."
Elaine lowered her eyes, her Uncle Caesar's last words before he left were definitely more than just a threat.
So that's it, as long as she doesn't leave Riverside City, her dad will be fine.
But if she doesn't leave, Uncle Caesar will use her again against Darnell ......
Elaine didn't know what she was supposed to do.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but touch her hand to the corner of her lips, feeling like she had just had a dream and still hasn't woken up yet.
At that moment, Darnell's voice rang out next to him, "Here we are."
Elaine subconsciously looked up and saw that the car was already parked in front of the hotel.
She pushed open the car door and stepped down.
Darnell walked her to her room and turned, "It's safe here, you can rest in peace."
Elaine nodded, "Got it."
"I'm off, go to bed early."
Darnell had just turned around when Elaine tugged on his sleeve.
He spoke in a low voice, "What's wrong."
Elaine did not dare to look at him, her eyes fell on the hand that pulled him, and spoke to herself: "I know, I have always been very capricious and disobedient, if I had listened to my father and listened to you, Uncle Caesar would not have found me, and you would not have come to save me in order to make Uncle Caesar feel that I was important to you. I also know that you ...... my like means nothing to you, you have more important things to do, but nevertheless, I still want to make sure ......"
Darnell gazed at her, "Confirmation of what?"
Elaine mustered up enough courage to meet his gaze, her eyes still wet from crying, and with infinite expectation.
She spoke cautiously, "Did you ...... kiss me at the manor?"
The last three words, her voice was so small that only the shape of her lips could almost be seen.
Darnell raised his eyebrows unnoticed, "What?"
"It's ......"
Elaine was too embarrassed to say anymore and reached out to point to her slightly puckered mouth as a gesture.
Darnell looked at her cute face, the corners of her lips curled up, leaned in and kissed her gently, then backed away a little and asked her, "Like this?"
Elaine's eyes widened with shock and disbelief, and with unstoppable joy.
It's real, it's not a dream!
Darnell saw her freeze, re-closed her eyes and took in her slightly open lips.
He kissed very softly, taking care of her feelings and emotions.
Nonetheless, Elaine felt her legs go weak, her brain lacked oxygen, and her hands lifted at some point and clutched the shirt around his waist.
A cluster of fireworks exploded in her mind in a beautiful dizzying display.
If the first two were slapdash light kisses, and could even barely be described as foreign social etiquette, now she was truly feeling that Darnell was kissing her.
For adults, kissing.
After a while, Elaine's feet were really weak, and just as she was about to slide down, Darnell wrapped one arm around her waist and took her into his arms.
Just then, Elaine's stomach rumbled twice.
With her head buried in Darnell's chest, she spoke with embarrassment, "I didn't eat dinner ......"
Darnell rubbed her head, "What do you want to eat."
"Both ...... are available."
