Casey reached out his hand to touch Diana's forehead for checking whether she was pretending to be drunk or not. He cleared his doubt soon. Her forehead was so warm, and obviously she had drank too much and came out of the club without any protection from the cold wind. She was as poor as a little bird at that time.
He looked at Diana who had passed out, feeling a bit helpless.
Diana did not tell him where her home was, and he absolutely couldn’t send Diana back to his house.
If he took Diana back to his villa, Edith would definitely be suspicious about their relationship, and Diana would definitely talk nonsense to Edith once she woke up. Thinking of that, Casey had determined not to take Diana back to his home.
Then after a long thought, Casey could only take Diana to the hotel, letting her have a good sleep and then go home the next day when she was awake.
With this in mind, Casey looked around the surroundings and found a hotel not far away, so he walked Diana to there.
Diana fainted and lost her consciousness, Casey could only let her body lean on him, and the two were so close that they looked like a couple.
Getting into the hotel, Casey went to the reception to book for a room.
When the receptionist was helping their check-in, they couldn’t help but keep looking at Diana.
The fainted Diana looked like she was getting drunk by someone, and the receptionist glanced at Casey with suspicious eyes, thinking him as a bad guy who loved picking up the drunk girls.
The receptionist’s contemptuous gaze made him a little uncomfortable. Although he was not interested to Diana, but he just couldn’t stopped others’ judgemental look.
"Casey, don’t you want to take advantage of me, but pretend not to care, do you?" Diana suddenly said.
Casey thought she had been awake and immediately looked down at her and found that she still had her eyes closed. She was only talking in her sleep just now.
The receptionist's gaze towards Casey became even more bizarre and asked, "Did she come with you voluntarily?"
Casey was full of embarrassment, because he did not want to explain too much, so he nodded his head.
The receptionist revealed a mysterious look and gave Casey his room card after he finished the check-in.
Casey hurried to get Diana to the elevator and then take her to the room. He put her on the bed and was about to turn around and leave.
"I... I'm so cold."
Diana curled up into a ball, shaking with cold.
Seeing this, Casey had to go over and wrapped her with a quilt.
Just when Casey reached for the quilt, Diana suddenly got up to hug Casey and drag him on top of her.
Feeling Diana's body temperature, Casey was a bit panicked, even though he was as calm as a robot for the most of his time. But sucking into this situation, he was a little bit out of control, unaware of what was going on.
"Don't leave me, please." Diana murmured.
Casey took a deep breath, and then forcefully pulled Diana's hand out of his waist. He swiftly helped her wrap with the quilt, then left the room immediately.
He is a normal man with desire, if he had Diana done whatever she want, there would be a big trouble. He just couldn’t let it happen.
After Casey left the room, Diana, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stretched her body, and then gave a mysterious smile on her face.
After Casey left the room, he gave a sigh of relief, and then quickly walked downstairs.
When he walked out, the receptionist looked at him, full of shock, but he didn't bother to explain anything. He went directly to the entrance of Starry Night Club to pick up his car and drove off.
The receptionist stared at the receding figure of Casey and muttered to herself, "that fast? He can't be having a kidney empty that affects his function force, right?"
When he returned home, Amara and Nicolas had already gone to bed to sleep. Casey sneaked into his room and gently turned on the light, but being surprised to see Edith sitting on the bed.
She did sit on the bed with both hands hugging her knees, staring blankly.
But the moment Casey turned on the light, Edith quickly laid down on the bed and said, "You're back, I am awake just because I went to the bathroom just now, not waiting for you, good night."
When Casey heard Edith's words, he couldn't help but smile, and a sensation of warmth suddenly filled his heart. He knew his wife was waiting for him but just too shy to admit it.
He didn't expect Edith would wait for him until he came back, no matter how late it was. The feeling of being loved and always having someone waiting you at home made Casey feel touched.
