His Dangerous Love

Chapter 65 You Can Cry the Whole Night

Chapter 65 You Can Cry The Whole Night

He pulled off the waist ribbon from her skirt abruptly, coiled around her ankle, and tied it tightly to the bedpost at the foot of the bed.

There was no way out.

She was not even allowed to struggle.

His strong arms propped against her neck, and the pulsing veins on his arms were throbbing.

Her shoulder and neck muscles tensed up and then relaxed.

His broad back blocked the light, but he could still hear clearly the faint crying and moans beneath him.

Tears were brushed away by his warm fingers, and he said near her ear with a smile, despite the words sounding really cruel.

"Don't worry; You can cry the whole night."

"Boom--"

Suddenly came the rumble of thunder.

The heavy rain pelted the roof, and the raindrops slid down the glass windows.

Elianna was startled awake by the thunder.

Her eyelids felt heavy as if she were still trapped in a haunting dream.

After trying several times, she managed to open her eyes.

In this somewhat familiar room, her memory of staying here rushed back.

Both last night, and before.

This was the Antequs Compound where Jefferson had come to her rescue when she had been drugged last time.

Glancing at the cloudy sky outside, she assumed it was still early.

However, after checking the time, she found that it was already past 11 o'clock.

She got two message notifications.

The first was from Brett. [Brett: Just a week, and I hope you will keep your promise, Ms. Gentry.]

Seeing the second message, Elianna felt her body was aching.

[Jefferson: Send lunch to Eclipse at noon.] Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Elianna rolled her eyes.

After making out the entire night, she now had to serve him lunch today. Even the hardest-working farm laborer wouldn't feel this exhausted.

However, despite her complaining, she had no other choice.

Furthermore, she wasn't certain if the painting was worth 20 million dollars yet. If it fell short, she might need to borrow money from Jefferson, so she couldn't afford to offend him.

She took a shower first. The bathroom was quite empty, with only a few bottles of men's toiletries.

When Elianna visited this place last time, she had noticed that he hadn’t been living here often. She had to use these.

After getting herself ready, she went back home to change her clothes before driving to buy lunch.

She wasn't entirely familiar with Jefferson's tastes, but they had a meal together yesterday. So she knew what food he disliked and could easily select appropriate dishes.

She sent a text message to Jefferson, telling him that she was driving to Eclipse.

The text message alert sounded.

In the quiet room, the soft sound stood out.

Asher, seated at the desk, glanced over at Jefferson.

Jefferson had called him early in the morning to organize the bid documents in Eclipse. It had been a while since he had got up so early, and he hadn't even had breakfast.

Now, it was already past noon, and he was starving. However, Jefferson showed no intention of allowing a lunch break.

His stomach growled again.

Asher opened his mouth a few times but refrained from speaking. He swallowed and looked down at the bid documents again.

When Elianna arrived with lunch, it was almost 1 o'clock.

"I've brought lunch..."

She suddenly stopped talking upon seeing Asher in the room.

Asher was surprised to see her and asked, "Why are you here?"

"This is Jeff's place. How dare you just walk in!"

He scolded her while sneakily checking Jefferson's expression, worried that Elianna's uninvited visit might upset him and lead to unintended consequences for himself.

Jefferson, on the other hand, watched the scene with great interest, wondering how Elianna would handle the situation.

Faced with Asher's questions, Elianna's face turned pale. Still unsure of the circumstances, she tried to maintain a composed demeanor and said, "I've come to deliver lunch."

Asher assumed Elianna had brought lunch for him and asked, "How did you know I was here helping Jeff?"

"I... I heard it from Joyce."

She replied naturally, though she didn’t know what would happen later.

If Asher hadn't told Joyce this, he would know that she was lying.
