Chapter 765 Soft Spot
His exaggerated behavior made people want to laugh and cry at the same time. Thalia watched him quietly for a while, then finally spoke, dragging out each word.” Have you… really… never… heard… from… him?”
It took her almost a full minute to finish the sentence. When she was done, Thalia’s pretty brows knitted together. She still couldn’t get used to it.
She’d much rather type on her phone. At least it sounded natural, not so clumsy.
Darion’s expression froze for a moment, then he reached out to her. “Thalia.”
Thalia didn’t really get what he was doing, but she still put her hand in his.
Darion gave a gentle tug and pulled her into his arms. His warm hand stroked her back, and his deep, magnetic voice was especially gentle.
“You’re amazing. Your voice will recover soon. You don’t have to do things you don’t like just to make me feel better. I love it when you do things for me, but I hate seeing you upset even more.”
She hadn’t expected him to say something like that. Wrapped up in his arms, she froze for a second, and she lowered her gaze as a flicker of confusion crossed her clear
eyes.
She didn’t even know why, but whenever she saw Darion looking so sad and lost, she’d just have a soft spot for him without thinking.
Thalia couldn’t shake the feeling that maybe he’d become like this because of her.
That’s why she kept feeling guilty, and kept letting her guard down for him, again and again.
Thalia didn’t dare think about any other possibilities. She nodded in his arms, then slipped out and grabbed her phone to type. The cold, robotic voice echoed, “Still no word from Jason?”
“Yeah,” Darion replied, his voice dropping a notch. “He’s missing. I’ve been sending people to look for him.”
Ethan always gets the job done as long as he gets paid, but Quinn is a constant headache. To avoid getting tangled up in Quinn’s mess, Darion never makes things difficult for Jason.
Even so, Darion isn’t really sure if Jason is actually in Quinn’s hands.
Thalia paused for a moment, then typed again, “Viola was talking about Emely too.”
Successfully unlocked!
Darion nodded. “She said she saw someone who looked just like Emely. Honestly, I think she’s so hung up on him, she’s starting to see him everywhere.”

Thalia’s eyes lit up. She sensed some juicy gossip coming. She quickly typed, “What do you mean? Does Viola have a thing for Emely?”
Darion let out a low chuckle. “Yeah, they’re the same age, grew up together. Before college, they saw each other almost every day. But then she went abroad for school, and he met Miya.”
At the mention of Miya, Darion’s brows knitted together, his face showing clear disgust.
Thalia remembered Viola saying Emely had really bad taste.
Now that she thought about it, Viola was spot on. His taste couldn’t be any worse.
Thalia didn’t ask any more questions. She went to spend some time with Diana. The matriarch looked utterly drained lately. Her spirit seemed gone, and there were even more lines etched into her face.
