The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 2484

Chapter 2484

However, her  internal energy was at its lirnit, trying to fend off the corrosive, poisonous fog. If she refused to do as Darryl suggested, she would die right there and then. The thought of dying and rotting away in the toxic fog sent chills down Lillian's spine and, though she struggled, she was left with no option but to accept her reality.

She bit her lips reluctantly and walked into Darryl's elllbrace to share the animal's skin.

'What a wondrous scent,' Darryl thought as his senses were attacked  by a sweet fragrance so overwhelining  that he felt almost like he was drunk His eyes wandered as he looked at Lillian f rorn a close distance.

He had to adrnit that Lillian's figure was truly close to perfection and, with their bodies pushed up against one another, the atmosphere between them instantly turned dubious. Any Blood Thorn member would have been stunned if they had to bear witness to the moment when their prideful and fearless leader admitted def eat  to Darryl. When she sensed Darryl's teasing glances, Lillian bit her lips hard to the brink of tearing the skin. She dared not move despite feeling extremely uneasy, in fear of exposure to the poisonous fog around them.

''Darren, don't you dare try anything once we reach somewhere safe. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you,'' she said.

''You are reading too much into it. I'm not even interested in you,'' Darryl responded.

''You-''

Lost in time, Darryl and Lillian were unsure as to how long it actually took, but eventually, they managed to make it out of the area covered by the poisonous fog.

Darryl retrieved a piece of animal skin from the enchanted beast's pouch and produced a makeshift jacket for Lillian.

''You-'' Furious beyond words, Lillian glared at Darryl and said, ''If you had the anirnal's skin on you the entire time, why did you have to wait until now to retrieve it?'' She felt like he was toying with her

agai• n.

At that point, Darryl was dumbfounded by how evil she thought he was and said, ''I could have taken the time to make you a jacket with animal skin just now, but would you have withstood the fog?''

Lillian's face reddened as she struggled to argue. ''In any case, Darren Derby, I'm  warning you not to say anything about what happened earlier, or else!1                                                                                          she  said as she glared at Darryl furiously.

Lillian was humiliated and depressed about the situation. She was not just any ordinary woman; she was the leader of the Blood Thorn Mercenary Team. Her conduct and reputation had always been as clear as ice and as pure as jade, and yet she was forced into such close proximity with a man for such a long period. If word got out about that, what would the other Blood Thorn Mercenary Team members think of her?

Darryl picked at his ears and pretended as though he could not hear a thing. 11Sorry, Ms. Willis, but I didn't quite catch that. Did anything happen between us at all?'' He asked as he grinned like a Cheshire Cat the entire time.

'What an interesting wonian Lillian is,' he thought as he chuckled discreetly. 'The way she pouts is just adorable.'

''You-'' Lillian bit her lower lip in frustration as she struggled to find the words. After all, Darryl was right. They might have been in close proximity, but he did not do anything to her.
