He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 233

Damian watched Sabine freeze and let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

He said nothing more, simply prying her fingers, one by one, from where they were clutching his sleeve.

He turned and walked heavily up the stairs.

As soon as he entered the room, he threw himself onto the large bed.

In the next second, he was consumed by a heavy exhaustion and drowsiness, his consciousness quickly fading to black.

He didn’t know how long he’d slept before he woke up with a dry mouth.

The room was pitch black, outside, the night was deep.

He habitually reached to his side, muttering with a hoarse voice.

“Lorelei… get me a glass of water…”

The moment the words left his lips, he froze.

The space beside him was cold and empty. The room was terrifyingly silent.

Damian shot up, his muddled brain instantly clearing.

That’s right. Lorelei was gone. When he needed her to clear Sabine’s name, she had left with someone else without a moment’s hesitation.

An indescribable feeling of emptiness and anxiety seized him.

He stepped barefoot onto the carpet, dragged his exhausted body to the door, and opened it, planning to go downstairs for some water.

However, as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he was stunned by the scene below.

The living room was brightly lit, but it looked as if it had just been ransacked.

Shards of priceless antique vases were scattered everywhere, the leather sofa was slashed with ugly gashes revealing the foam inside, the coffee table was overturned, its glass top shattered…

And amidst this chaos were at least a hundred luxury shopping bags, piled up like a small mountain, blocking the entryway.

The maids and the butler were kneeling in a corner, trembling, their heads bowed so low they hardly dared to breathe.

Sabine sat with her legs crossed on the only undamaged armchair, fiddling with a newly unwrapped diamond bracelet.

Damian’s face darkened.

He walked down the stairs step by step, his footsteps unnaturally loud in the silence.
