The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 4432

Chapter 4432

That kid!

At the sight of Queenie's retreating figure, Darryl fought the urge to cry out in amusement and annoyance.

Uhh...

The next second, Darryl turned around and saw that Celine had opened her eyes, watching him with an unreadable expression. Darryl was at a loss for words.

She would not have heard what Queenie had just said, right?

Darryl flashed a smile. He said politely, "Ah, you're up?"

"Yes!

Celine responded, putting on a calm expression despite the wild pounding in her heart that would not calm down no matter how hard she tried. She had heard every word of Queenie and Darryl's conversation.

She was a rational, level-headed person and was embarrassed when Queenie brought up the bet she had made with Darryl.

However, Celine did not show it. Instead, she pretended to ask, "Where's Queenie?"

"Oh, her."

Darryl startled briefly. Then, she said, "She said she was hungry and went to get some food."

Celine did not say anything further. She bowed her head, deep in thought.

The air was wrought with tension.

"What's up?"

A few seconds later, Darryl asked, "Is something on your mind?"

"No," Celine scrambled to answer before swiftly changing the subject." Darryl, what do you plan to do from here onward?" She did not wish to bring up the bet at all; that had been embarrassing.

Darryl pondered briefly before saying, "I'll head back to the World Universe and meet up with Chester and the rest. I don't know what's been happening with the Carter family members since I left for the Godly Region."

Darryl watched Celine closely. "Have your powers recovered?"

Darryl could see that Celine's face was still a little pale. It was obvious that being held captive at the Maple Courtyard for a few days had significantly harmed her powers.

"I'm alright!"

Celine blushed lightly, speaking in a rather awkward tone. "They're not completely recovered, but I'm better now." She kept her head bowed, refusing to meet Darryl's eye.

Celine wanted to remain level-headed. Yet, at the thought of her bet with Darryl, her heart would begin to pound unnaturally fast.

When he saw the look on Celine's face, Darryl seemed to have realized something. He flashed a smile.

So Celine must have heard what Queenie just said, which was why she was acting so shy. Who would have thought that the great Honorable Pianist had such a shy, flustered side to her?

"I-"

Darryl's gaze made Celine flush harder. She bit her lip, muttering, "I will go back to cultivating." She resumed her cross-legged position on the floor and closed her eyes to cultivate again.

There was no need for Celine to continue cultivating. Her situation was not one where she could recover in a short period. Yet she had no choice- there was no way she could face Darryl like that.

"Alright!"

Darryl chuckled to himself. He tamped down the urge to tease her further. Instead, she nodded and said, "Go on, then. I'll keep a lookout for you."

As Celine continued to cultivate, Darryl stood at the side. The cave fell silent.
