Chapter 2003
Daisie was stunned.
Zephir was so close to her that she could count his eyelashes. His finger felt cold on her skin, and even though he was just wiping the soup off the corner of her lips, she had a feeling that he was caressing his girlfriend.
If it were in the past, she would have thought that he did this out of goodwill or he was just taking care of her like his sister. However, she felt it was strange right now.
Perhaps it was because his breathing felt scalding on her skin. Daisie took the tissue paper away from his hand and put some distance between them. “It’s okay, Zephir. I can do it myself.”
Zephir did not say anything. He just smiled
After they had finished their meal, they left the restaurant
Zephuir stopped his car in front of her. However, he did not drive away even after she got into his car. While she was wondering what Zephir was doing, he suddenly leaned toward her, and she was stunned.
She subconsciously put her hand on his shoulder to push him away and said, “Zephir…”
Zephir chuckled. “What’s wrong? I’m just helping you to put on your seatbelt.”
Daisie lowered her head and felt embarrassed when she saw that he really was just helping her to put on her seatbelt. She laughed dryly and said, “Haha, I’m sorry. I’ve forgotten to put on the seatbelt.”
He smiled. “It’s okay.”
Zephir sent her to the Goldmann mansion and watched as Daisie got out of his car. He only retracted his gaze after she disappeared from his vision.
Honestly, he had the urge to kiss her earlier. However, when he saw how startled she was, he was certain that she wouldn’t want to see him anymore for the rest of her life if he really kissed her
He placed his hand on his face and laughed at himself.
Zephir, you really are a monster.’
In the evening, at the Seaview Villa…
Freyja entered Deedee’s room. Deedee was sitting on the bed with her arms around her legs. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen from crying
Freyja sighed helplessly and sat at the side of the bed. “Deedee, I know you’re very sad now, but you need to eat something.” Deedee turned her face sideways. “Go away.”
Freyja lowered lier lead and continued. “Deedee, I know this is my fault. I should have asked you if you wanted to stay with your grandfather or not. I know you’re angry with me, but trust
me, I’ve never wanted to abandon you.”
Deedee stood up and said, “I don’t want to go back. I want to stay by your side, but you don’t want me anymore because you’re going to have your own baby!”
Freyja was stunned. “Deedee -”
“Grandma said you want to be with that man, so you don’t want me anymore. Is that right?” Deedee shouted again.
Freyja’s expression changed. She was so stunned that she did not know what to say at all.
She knew her mother was up to no good for taking Deedee here, but she did not know what her mother had said to Deedee that had turned her into such a sensitive girl.
Freyja clenched her fist tightly and asked, “Deedee, do you believe what she said?”
Deedee wept and asked carefully, “Can you not be with that man? I don’t want to lose you.”
Freyja froze.
It was very late by the time Colton returned to the mansion.
He pushed the door to his bedroom open and saw Freyja. She should have been asleep by now, yet she was standing in front of the window in her sleeping gown, staring at the dark in front and lost in her own thoughts. Colton placed the jacket down and walked toward her. He carried her in his arms, and she hastily wrapped her arms around his neck when she suddenly lost her balance.
After she came to her senses, she asked, “Colton?”
Colton put her on the bed and secured her in his arms. “Why are you not asleep yet?”
Freyja averted his gaze and said, “I can’t sleep.” Colton realized something and squinted. “Are you still upset with what happened today?”
