Chapter 266 - Adventurous Night (1/2)
Even though Xiu was inwardly tempted, she couldn't reveal that to Darren. For once, she actually believed that she had done enough already. There was no reason to scare him away with her crazy curiosities. Besides, she had plenty of time for that.
She still blinked at Darren showing her innocent expression as if she didn't even understand what he was saying. As if there was no one more naive then her in the whole world.
But Darren could easily read her through and through by now. It wasn't the first time he was seeing her acting this cute. Her cuteness knew no bound but he was also the only one who knew that her wild nature also knew no bounds.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, ”Don't test me, I might really punish you next time.”
Xiu sucked in a cold breath at the way his hot breath assaulted her neck making her tingle all over. But to keep her senses intact, she pushed him slightly and said, ”You already did.” Darren gave her an uncertain look as she rolled her eyes at his reaction saying, ”Do you have any idea how many hickeys I have all over my body? How am I supposed to step out of the house?”
Darren smiled proudly as he languidly sat down at the couch and continued to stare at his phone saying, ”The best solution is don't step out the door.”
Xiu frowned at his reaction but she couldn't deny that his idea was also the best. It was already past 10, there was no point in going to the office to face Dylan. Besides, she knew for sure that Dylan would tease her to death if he even got a glimpse of those red marks on her neck.
She stubbornly crossed her arms over her chest and sat down at the other corner of the couch, keeping a distance between them. ”That is not the point. The point is that-”
Her words had yet to leave her mouth when Darren slid close to her as he stared right into her eyes. Xiu gulped down her saliva, not at the close proximity. It was more so because of the emotions surging in his eyes. She could clearly tell that he was enraged and yet sulky at the same time. Moreover, he was feeling crushed and desolate.
He ran his fingers through her hair as he spoke softly, ”I was scared last night. So, I couldn't hold back when I held you in my arms. Sorry for losing my control.”
Xiu felt remorse and regret. She was remorseful for actually worrying him even when it was not her intention to do so. Regretful for actually drinking beyond her tolerance again.
Before she could say anything, Darren's phone rang and he pulled back. He picked up the call and listened to the other person before humming in reply. Then, he simply went up to the main door and opened it as he turned to look at Xiu and said, ”It's for you.”
