Adoration At Night and Forever

Chapter 16 Punishment, A Kiss

When they were in the Executive Hotel, Christine held Darren's neck tightly, but he didn't move at all. He didn't even frown.

Now the same thing happened. Christine stared at Darren without blinking, but this man seemed to know nothing and could be so elegant and free.

Christine thought in her heart, 'Isn't he uncomfortable?'

Indeed, Mr. Darren didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

After the meal, Christine turned over and jumped off the chair, almost jumping into Darren's arms.

"Hey, I've been here for two days. I haven't gone out yet! Can you go out with me for digestion?"

Christine stuck out her tongue at Darren apologetically and stared at him fawningly.

Wow, her husband was so handsome! Such a handsome man, even if she looked at him all her life, it would definitely not be enough.

Without saying a word, Darren sat still in his seat. The domineering and cold attitude of the king who had been in power for a long time was simply cool.

Being rejected silently, Christine was not angry, nor did she continue to beg Darren. Instead, she chose to settle for second best.

"If you don't have time, I'll go out for a walk myself, okay?" It was not terrible to be rejected. What was terrible was that she didn't get any benefit after being rejected.

No matter whether he would go out with her or not, she had to let her handsome husband talk to her.

"Okay." Christine didn't know if it was because Darren was impatient or because he wanted to drive her away.

"Okay, I'm going out for a walk." Hearing his response, Christine turned around happily. Then she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss.

Darren wiped the saliva on his face in disgust and said nothing. He just stared indifferently at the direction where Christine left.

"Mrs. Christine is so cute. Since she came here, the home now has become livelier than before."

It hasn't been so noisy for a long time in this family since Darren's mother passed away. Although Mr. Brian married another woman later. However, few people in this family could talk and laugh.

"You like her very much?" Darren looked down at the stock market on his phone and asked casually without raising his head. It seemed that Mr. Darren didn't care about it, but Uncle David could still feel Mr. Darren's concern for Mrs. Christine.

After all, Mr. Darren was not a person who could talk. Uncle David had been whispering in front of Mr. Darren for so many years. However, Mr. Darren never talked to Uncle David.

"Mrs. Christine is really a nice person. She is not only well-educated and polite, but also lively and lovely. She is not arrogant at all."

Darren could barely accept the fact that Christine was lively and lovely. Well-educated and polite? Why didn't he know that this little woman was well-educated and polite? It was not in ancient times. Why did she still need to be well-educated and polite?

He raised his head and took a deep look at Uncle David, as if Uncle David had committed a crime of treason.

Uncle David was scared by Mr. Darren's stare. He was telling the truth, and he didn't lie at all! Why did Uncle David look at him like that?

As soon as Christine walked out of the dining room, she went straight to the center of the courtyard of the Xi family, which was comparable to a luxurious manor. There were several two-storey European style retro buildings. Those who didn't know the truth would definitely take the courtyard of the Xi family as a rich area.

Christine looked at everything in front of her excitedly. The courtyard was so big that she might not be able to finish a tour of this courtyard in a few days.

It was getting late. The dark sky was like silk dyed by ink, inlaid with shiny big diamonds, constantly blinking.

Christine was afraid of darkness, especially in this kind of dark night. Although there were a few stars hanging on the sky, she still felt it was horrible.

The Xi family was too big. Although all kinds of buildings were the same, Christine still couldn't find the direction to go back.

Her heart was beating fast. She prayed in her heart again and again, hoping that she would meet a servant of the Xi family and take her back.

In the study, Darren was reading documents with a gloomy face. Uncle David stood beside him, trembling with anxiety, sweating.

"Mr. Darren, should we send more people to look for Mrs. Christine?" Uncle David wiped the sweat off his face and prayed that Mrs. Christine would come back as soon as possible. He couldn't stand it anymore!

"No." Mr. Darren's voice was cold and harsh. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood!

Uncle David didn't dare to say anything more.

"Mr. Darren, Mrs. Christine has left the blind area and entered the monitoring range. I'll call some people and ask them to bring Mrs. Christine back."

The bodyguard finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found Mrs. Christine.

"No, let her walk around for a while." Darren raised his noble head and ordered his bodyguard coldly, as if Christine was not his wife.

"But..." The bodyguard hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say that Mrs. Christine looked very scared and she was in a bad condition, but Darren didn't give him a chance to speak at all. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Get out." Darren was a cold and ruthless man. He wouldn't even give a chance to people or things he didn't care about.

"Yes, Mr. Darren." Although the bodyguard also felt sorry for Christine, he dared not to move without Mr. Darren's order.

After the bodyguard left, Uncle David couldn't help but plead for Christine, "Mr. Darren, Mrs. Christine is a girl. It's not safe for her to wander around at night!"

Turning a deaf ear to Uncle David's words, Darren continued to bury his head into the mountain of folders.

Uncle David sighed helplessly. He knew Mr. Darren well. No one could change Mr. Darren's decision.

In a short while, Darren finished several piles of documents.

"Send someone to bring Mrs. Christine back!" After such a long time, Darren have punished this little woman enough.

With this lesson, he wanted to see if this little woman dared to run around in the future.

Uncle David didn't know what was on Darren's mind. When he heard that Darren had asked him to send someone to take Mrs. Christine back, he happily gave a response and turned around to leave.

Christine was still fumbling alone in the darkness. Her little face gradually turned pale because of fear. A few teardrops hung shyly on her eyelashes, unwilling to fall.
