After a pause, she looked at me and gossiped, “I think Dennis moved here with the intention of fighting a protracted war with you, not to mention, this man’s style of acting, I really love it.”
I was speechless, did not answer the words.
After sitting for a while and seeing that it was getting dark, she was ready to go, I sent her downstairs and saw Dennis and Edward downstairs talking about something.
Seeing that Jannings was ready to go, Edward got up and said, “I’ll give you a ride!”
“It’s okay, I’m driving!” Jannings looked a little unhappy.
I don’t know what the two of them were talking about together.
Edward didn’t care whether Jannings agreed or not, and went out of the living room with her.
I was ready to follow, but was stopped by Dennis, “What are you doing out there?”
I was stunned and said, “To see Jannings off, of course!”
“Someone will deliver!” After saying that, his slender body blocked in front of me and looked at me steadily.
Suddenly he said, “Does your stomach still hurt?”
I shook my head and thought for a moment, “Thank you just now, I’m much better now.”
The original thought was that it was getting late, so I let him go back, but he suddenly said, “It’s autumn, so wear more when you go out.”
I nodded my head, “Yes!”
I wanted to take it back, but he held it down, “Where’s the ointment?”
Noticing that he was looking at the noon burn, I pursed my lips and said, “It’s almost done, it’s fine!”
He frowned, took my bag directly over and turned out the ointment, then applied it to me.
A pair of black eyes looked at me, deep as the sea, “Edward will apply it better than me?”
I froze, a little helpless, could not help but say, “It’s getting late, you …”
“Drive me away?”
I sighed and nodded, “Well, is it hard to say you’re planning to stay here?”
“No?” He had a bummed look on his face.
I was a bit speechless, “Whatever you want!”
After applying the medicine, he was still in the villa, so I left him alone and went straight back to my bedroom.
Edward would be back after dropping off Jannings anyway, so Dennis could stay here if he wanted to!
After washing up and coming out, I had completely forgotten that Dennis was still at the villa, and looking at the time, it was already more than ten o’clock, so I simply dried my hair, read a book, and went to bed.
In August, the autumn rain came silently. It rained at night, and the cold wind blew into my bedroom, waking me up.
I got up, got out of bed and went to close the window.
“Rumble!” Cold thunder, lightning broke into the room, startled me a time of cold sweat.
I couldn’t help but rush to the window to close the window, but because of too much haste, a time directly into the corner of the bed side of the chaise longue.
The knees went weak and directly fell to the ground.
The pain from the cartilage almost made me choke in pain, and I couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air as I tried to get up from the ground, but tried several times to no avail.
Originally, I just thought of getting up and closing the window, and only turned on the bedside lamp, which was dim, and the cold wind from outside the window poured into the room.
With the water stains, the curtains were blown around the room, and with the villa being empty and silent, it seemed extraordinarily scary.
Since the incident of the child, I have been more or less shadowed by the rain and thunder, and at this time I could not get up to turn on the lights, and could not close the window.
I couldn’t help but start to panic inside, plus the heart effect, the whole person trembled, tried to get up to close the window, but once again did not stand firm installed to the bedside table.
“Bang!” The lamp on the bedside table and the things placed on it were made on the ground, and the light went out.
A strong fear swept toward me, I shrunk in the corner, in the dark seemed to hear the cries of a baby.
Fear, fear intensified, the long-held sorrow suddenly came like a tidal wave, I almost collapsed for a while.
My mind was filled with the helplessness and fear of that night, and my eyes fell on the floor as the flushed blood outside the window seeped into the room.
I yelled out violently, “Ah!!!” The spirit ran a little wild for a moment.
“Clara!” someone spoke up and called to me, from outside the window.
I yelled in shock, “Go away, all of you!”
I buried my head between my knees in fear, and my body shivered.
“Clara, it’s me, Dennis!” came a soothing voice in my ear, and the thunder outside the window seemed to stop.
I froze, raised my eyes, the lights in the room were turned on, some blinding, the curtains that had been blown around by the wind were tied up, and the windows were left open.
“It’s me, don’t be afraid!” A low, soothing voice came to my ears.
I took a few breaths and adjusted to the light before I could see the person in front of me clearly, it was Dennis.
Almost instantly, without even thinking, I jumped into his arms, tears falling like rain, my voice choked, “It’s the boy, he’s here, he … blames me, blames me for not protecting him!”
The body was hugged tightly by Dennis, he took a long breath, his voice hoarse, “No, he knows you love him, how would he want to hurt you who love him so much, don’t think nonsense, it’s okay!”
He gently patted my back, I leaned into his arms, tears could not stop flowing, heart blocked uncomfortable, “I’m sorry, I really have tried very hard, but the rope is too thick, I simply can not struggle away!”
He nodded and hugged me extra tight, “He knew, he knew, he didn’t blame you.”
After lying on his heart for a while to ease my mind, I found my senses and got up from him, my eyes hurting a little.
He carried me back to bed and covered me up, his slender body sitting on the edge of the bed.
As an afterthought, I looked at the puddle of water seeping in on the floor and realized that what I had just seen in the dark was not a bloodstain at all, but water seeping in because it was raining so hard outside and I had left the window open.
Seeing me staring at the water stains, Dennis frowned slightly, “Sleepy?”
I replied, “How did you get in?” He didn’t just come in through the bedroom door.
He raised his hand to wipe his nose and spoke, “The two balconies are connected, so when appropriate, come over.”
I froze and frowned at him, “Dennis, you’re trespassing.”
He didn’t care, his eyes fell on my elbow and frowned, “How did it hurt?”
I realized after the fact that I had a large bruise on my arm, and before I could react.
Dennis has lifted the quilt and lifted up the hem of my skirt, I was shocked to avoid, “Dennis, you rogue …”
See his pair of dark eyes looking at me, handsome eyebrows frowned, then got up and went out from my bedroom.
I opened my mouth and before I could say anything, he was gone, this man …
A few minutes later, he returned again, carrying a medicine box in his hand, sitting on the edge of the bed, methodically rubbing my medicine.
