Oriana’s eyes met Deacon’s cold and serene eyes. Oriana avoided his gaze and said,
“Thank you for today.”
Noticing that she was dodging his stare, Deacon pursed his lips.
“Apart from thank you, do you have something else to say to me?”
Oriana lightly bit her red lips. At this moment, Deacon raised his hand and his fingers suddenly landed on the button her collar.
Oriana’s eyes narrowed, she quickly held his big hand. She muttered vigilantly,
“What do you intend doing?”
Deacon looked at her and sneered sarcastically. He buttoned the two loose buttons on her neckline.
“What do you think I wanted doing? Make the car to shake?”
Oriana could sense that he was in a bad mood, and he had become aggressive. Oriana was about to retreat, a little embarrassed. Her snow white earlobes became even more red.
“I want to go see Aunt Rebecca in the hospital.”
“We’llbe there in a while.”
Oriana made to stand up from his arms. But his grip on her was so strong as an iron hoop, that she could not move. She moved restlessly. Deacon frowned at her actions and held tighter to her wrist. Oriana stayed still and didn’t dare to move.
The car drove at high speed. The bright neon lights outside poured in brightly through thewindow. Deacon handsome facial features were gorgeously revealed.
He felt a burden in his chest, he turned to look at her, and he asked,
“Remember what I told you?
“What?”
“Didn’t I say that, if there were problems you couldn’t solve that you should call me?
Oriana grabbed the tips of her dress. There were some things that had to be made clear.
“Mr. Armstead, I do remember what you said. I admit that I was a little reckless tonight.
If you didn’t come in time. what could have happened was unpredictable, but I don’t want to trouble you with everything. After all, we’re only binded by a contract.”
Deacon’s eyes dark
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes.” Oriana nodded.
Deacon retracted his arm from her body and said..
“Get off my arm now!”
Oriana had never seen him lose him temper in such a way. Oriana stood up from his arm and adjusted from him. Deacon laughed angrily when he saw her being so obedient.
None spoke to each other and they arrived at the hospital half an hour later.
Aunt Rebecca had already been sent to the VIP ward, and professional nurses were taking care of her.
Oriana knew that Deacon had done all that. He was indeed a thoughtful man. He was mature and wise.
Aunt Rebecca was in a coma and hadn’t woken up yet. Her situation wasn’t very good.
Oriana sat on the edge of the bed and held Aunt Rebecca’s cold and elderly hand. She felt really sad.
A soothing voice sounded,
“Eat something first.”
Oriana raised her eyes and saw Deacon. Harry and Raven was also with him.
Harry smiled at her and said,
“Hello, sister–in–law.”
Hearing Harry’s choice of name, Oriana could only fake a smile. Uncle Henry came in with a big plastic bag.
“Young mistress, young master explained that I cook you some rice and sauce. To take care of a patient, you need to first take care if yourself.”
Oriana really hadn’t eaten a thing the entire night. She didn’t expect him to be so thoughtful.
Oriana looked at Deacon who stood by the window. He had already taken off his black coat.
Aside from North. Deacon was the only person who made her feel warm. But she was hesitant to let go of her heart.
She was afraid of being heartbroken. Oriana walked up to Deacon and said to him,
“Mr Armstead, I’ll stay here tonight with Aunt Rebecca. You should go home and get a rest first.”
Deacon turned and looked at her.
“Why didn’t you answer my call?”
Oriana pondered for a moment and quickly replied,
“I didn’t see your call.”
“How about my chat, do you mean you didn’t also see that?”
Before Oriana could speak, Harry stuck his head and said,
“Bro, are you now active on social media? When we wanted opening an account for you, you were totally against it. And now you’re active just because of sister in–law. You really value women over your guys!”
Deacon turned to glare at Harry,
“Get out!”
Mr. Henry realizing that the atmosphere wasn’t favourable, he quickly walked out of the room, and shut the door.
In the ward, Oriana was still immersed in Harry’s words.
“Was she really the only one that he chatted with?”
Deacon reached out and grabbed her phone away from her.
“What are you doing with my phone? Give it back.” Oriana stood on tiptoe and tried collecting the phone from him. Deacon opened her message and took a look. Sure enough, the message sent by him was already read. She intentionally did not reply to him.
“Give me an explanation.” Deacon said poring deep into her eyes.
“What explanation do you need? There’s no explanation. Yes I saw it, and I didn’t reply.”
Deacon’s handsome brows covered with gloom. He had rushed back just to hear her say that?
Now her slender body was almost close to his, and the sweet fragrance from her body swept across his nose.
“Are you flirting with me again? He forced a hoarse voice.
Oriana’s eyes widened and she immediately felt his scorching body temperature. She quickly backed aways and wanted staying away from him
Deacon held her smooth shoulder and pushed her against the wall, preventing her from running away.
“I came all the way just for you to treat me so coldly and violently. You did something wrong, but you dare to speak unapologetically. I think you really need to clean up!”
After being yelled at by him. Oriana was so frightened thatshe hid in the corner and stared at him with watery eyes.
Deacon took a deep breath and resisted the pounding of his chest.
Don’t pretend, you know you did something wrong. Look at me. I won’t pity you.”
Oriana’s white hands clasped on the wall.
“I’m sorry Mr. Armstead, I admit that i purposely didn’t take your call and messages. I just didn’t want to feel indebted to you.”
“Did you distinguish between us so clearly?” Deacon questioned.
Oriana nodded,
We’re different individuals, who have our own personal problems. Our lives are very different. You’ll always follow your path of sunshine, while I’ll follow my one–plank bridge.”
Deacon had never felt that way before. His proud and disciplined self had repeatedly been broken by her.
A photo which she sent on mistake had grabbed his attention the entire night and day.
Thus the reason he rushed back. Her sudden indifference and alienation made him almost go out of control.
Since when had she affected his mind so badly?
Deacon let out a low hoarse laugh and mocked her,
“Little turtle”
Oriana clenched her fists against the wall. To him, she was just a tortoise with a shrinking head. She did not dare to give her heart to him.
Deacon changed his words and raised his heroic eyebrows.
“Since you’re so clear, then I saved you today. Shouldn’t you express your gratitude?”
Oriana blinked her lashes and asked,
“Didn’t I thank you already?”
“Are you pretending to be confused with me again? You really don’t understand the way women express their gratitude to men?
Oriana quickly covered his mouth with her hand, preventing him from uttering nonsense.
They stared at each other and saw their shadows in each other’s eyes.
Deacon kissed her soft palm. Oriana felt as if the palm of her hand had been on fire. She quickly withdrew her small hand.
Deaconlowered his eyes and kissed her. He made to remove her mask, but she held his hands.
The overwhelming kiss made Oriana feel dizzy.The clean and masculine smell on his body was really good. It got people addicted to his scent.
He had just kissed her in such a rogue way. Orianaquickly pressed against his strong chest and tried to push him away, but he didn’t move a muscle.
Her slender white fingers curled up, and tugged at the black suit on his body. The high–
quality fabric had the charming texture of a successful man in the business world.
Soon, she pulled the fabric into folds.
Deacon let go of her. He tuck his handsome face into her long beautiful hair, and sniffed the fragrance from it.
Oriana legs wobbled, and her milk white skin was slowly turning red. Deacon closed his eyes and muttered,
“Is that Derrick your ex- fiance?”
The lights in the ward were dim. He had blocked her in the corner. Oriana tried her best to stick to the wall and not rely on him.
“Yes.”
“You need to recognize your identity. No matter what, you’re my Mrs. Armstead. Keep a safe distance from all these men. Who ever you dare to hook up with, I’ll kill him first and then clean you up. Do you understand?” His words. screamed bad threats.
Oriana nodded. Deacon gaze fell on her face, he raised his hand and made to remove her mask, but she turned her head avoiding his touch.
