A figure in a black suit walked out of the bottom of the garden at a gentle pace. His sculpturesque and clean-cut face came into people’s sight little by little.
Darren glanced at the crowd, fixing his eyes on Selina.
“This is a home field for Mr. Mayor and Mike, and I won’t garb all the attention.”
Hearing this, Jacky laughed and said heroically, “It’s okay, Jenson’s an old friend of mine. Sophia and you have known each other since childhood. Now that you two are engaged, I am bound to have a grandson before Jenson.”
Darren and Sophia got engaged!
Selina gazed at him Why
Darren looked away and it seemed as if a faint of sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.
“Mike, do you hear it They have got engaged, and you are supposed to hurry.” Jenson urged his son with laugh.
Obviously, Selina was aware that Jenson fixed his eyes on her.
What the hell!
She knew almost nothing, but why did everyone look at her
Mike put his arm around her shoulder, watching her gently, “I am still trying.”
“Selina, what do you think of it” Mike’s mother looked at her eagerly.
“I have not shown my congratulations to Darren for his engagement yet. Congratulations!”
They felt at a loss by her words after waiting for such a long time.
“Sorry, I’d like to go to the bathroom.”
Not in the mood of caring about whether she behaved well or not, she walked into the villa, rushed in to the bathroom, and seated on the toilet in an empty compartment. She stared down at the floor blankly.
Not knowing how long it had been, her eyes welling up with tears, she started to stand up gradually. Darren was in front of the door the moment she opened the door.
They stared at each other for a long time. Then she put her hand against the door, “This is women’s room!”
“I know.”
She took a deep breath, biting her lips tightly, “Someone will come in at any time. Do you want to be treated as a psycho”
“I closed the door.”
“…”
She walked outside. Only one step forward, her legs went limp that made her fall down outward.
Darren hugged her, “What happened”
“My legs get numb.”
He walked out while carrying her.
Seeing that he was going to open the door, Selina hurried to tell him, “Put me down. You can’t go out like this, or the media will disturb us tomorrow!”
“You are afraid”
“I have nothing to worry about. I have got ready since I chose such a path. But what about you Aren’t you engaged with Sophia Aren’t you afraid of her sadness” She asked the last question with half crying and her tears couldn’t stop dropping off.
Darren lowered his head and kissed her lips. She was so shocked to keep her eyes widely open.
He loosened his grip on her little by little, “Selina.”
“Hmm.”
He said nothing but opened the door of the toilet, and walked out, holding her in his arms.
Watching them, all of the guests there were shocked.
The spotlight lit up their way. She held his neck tightly. Tough as the way ahead was, she would not fear any hindrance if only she could go together with him.
Holding Selina into the car, Darren stretched out to untie her necklace.
She stopped him with her hand, “What are you up to”
“It’s dazzling.”
She was subtly puzzled, and pushed his hands away suddenly. Then she untied her necklace, putting it on his hands, “For me, it is just a donation for an event with no sense at all.”
Darren tightened the necklace in his hands little by little, with complicated expressions on his face.
“Selina!”
Mike was right on their tail.
Rolling down the window, she saw Mike pressing the window with his hair in disorder, “Selina, you can’t go with him.”
“I am sorry, Mike, I thought you had already known.”
That night when she cried sadly, it was Mike who took her home. She owed him forever.
Mike turned to Darren who was on the driver’s seat, “Darren, have you told Selina that you got engaged with Sophia in City D the day before yesterday All the respectable there have attended.”
Selina turned to Darren in disbelief. She thought Darren got engaged with Sophia a long time ago. However, it turned out to be yesterday.
Yesterday… She was still depressed in the hospital in City C, for he left the hospital without keeping her informed.
Darren grasped the wheel, turning to Mike, “It is not your business.”
“I like her, and I will never allow you to insult her. Selina, he doesn’t deserve it.”
“Selina, you can choose to get out of the car.” Darren unlocked the car.
She stared at him in astonishment, wondering how he could be so indifferent.
Mike opened the car door, holding her hand, “Selina, get out of the car.”
Selina looked up at Mike, then at Mike who was hidden in the shadow, and closed her eyes speechlessly.
Mike was relieved, “Selina.”
She pushed Mike’s hand away gently, “Sorry, Mike.”
Mike stood there stiffly, staring at his empty hands, until the car had gone away.
In the car, Darren frowned, “You should go with him.”
“Shut up!” she roared at him suddenly with a bit of crying.
Darren became mute.
Regardless of the fact that he was driving, she sprang to him abruptly.
“Are you crazy I am driving!” Darren stopped the car in a hurry. He was about to scold her when he saw she cry on his shoulder silently.
“If you regret, I can send you back in no time.” Selina didn’t notice a bit of uneasiness hidden in his mood.
“What should I do, will you fall in love with me”
Darren puckered his lips, “…”
She closed her eyes, holding him tightly, said in a desperate tone, “I am afraid that I cannot stick to it.”
Darren drove to the seaside, looking at the sleeping woman, lifting her in his arms.
Walking into the villa, switching on the light, he put the woman on the sofa.
All of a sudden, the mobile phone in Selina’s purse vibrated. He took the phone out. The moment he saw the gift box, he threw it into the trash can.
“Selina, why did you go with Darren” Zoe shouted.
“This is Darren.”
“…” Zoe was speechless, “Darren, can I get Selina on the phone.”
Having a look at the woman who was still sleeping, wiping away her tears around her eyes, he stood up with the phone in his hand, “Zoe, do you remember the appointment with me”
“Yeah, I do. Never let Selina come back and have her develop abroad. But I cannot. She is obsessed with you.”
“If she has a bad reputation at home, she will have no choice but to leave here.”
Seizing the phone tightly, Zoe’s facial expression changed greatly, “You will not do that, right I just promised to keep her abroad as possible as I can. I will not hurt her.”
With a hand in his pocket, gazing at the endless sea, Darren said in an offish tone, “If you cannot, I can make use of another man.”
“She loves you indeed! Such a plan would ruin her. If she cannot develop her career at home, how could you expect her to make it abroad”
“…”
Darren was in silent. Sea surface with glistening moonlight reflected on his eyes.
After a long time, a chilly voice resounded in the empty villa.
“She must leave here.”
