Chapter 149
Because of his previous promise, Alena waited for him from dusk until dawn but Waylon never came out. Besides, even the dinner sent by Rhea was left untouched when he returned it.
Alena didn’t dare to bother him casually, so she had to swallow all the loss alone. She couldn’t fall asleep while lying on the bed, thinking about Waylon’s odd behavior repeatedly.
‘Did he encounter something in the company? However, his appearance didn’t seem like something happened to the company. What’s wrong with him?’
Alena was thinking, the door was gently pushed open and series of footsteps echoed as he walked in. The empty place on the bed beside her sank and the fragrance of shower gel mixed with the smell of smoke penetrated her nostrils.
Immediately, Alena knew that it was Waylon who had returned.
“Did you smoke?” She rolled over to face him, wanting to see a clearer side of his face.
Waylon paused, then lay down casually, reaching out to fish her into his arms. “Why aren’t you still asleep?”
Alena rubbed her against his chest, found a comfortable posture, and sniffed his scent deeply in contentment. Softly replying, she then said truthfully. “I’m waiting for you.”
“Oh…” Waylon played with her hair and replied casually. His attitude can’t be said to be perfunctory but it is not serious. Alena swallowed the words that are in her throat.
“I’m a little tired today, let’s go to bed early.” Waylon’s cold voice sounded and the light in the bedroom was turned off immediately. Soon after, the room plunged into darkness.
Alena couldn’t see clearly but she felt extremely sensitive. Sensing the tranquil breath, the man lying next to her breathed smoothly as if already asleep. She pursed her lips and closed her eyes helplessly.
She doesn’t know how long it has passed and her consciousness gradually faded, making Alena also fell asleep.
After a while, Waylon slowly opened his eyes and glanced sideways at the sleeping woman with eyes that are gloomy and unclear. The moonlight was bright tonight, and Waylon stared at the hazy night in awe with the moon rays coming in through the window.
Once those deep-buried past events were stirred up, all love, hatred, and grievances became clear.
He was immersing himself in his thoughts while the woman in his arms moved unconsciously and her lips fluttered that seemed to be whispering something.
Waylon listened, only to hear a few intermittent words.
“Waylon, don’t get mad at me anymore, okay…” The soft and waxy voice pierced his heart like a gentle sword without warning. He looked at her quietly, and the storm surge in his eyes slowly returned to calm. With his heart welling with warmth, he reached out and stroked her cheek, pressing a kiss on her forehead afterward.
It was like he was talking to himself as if promised to the sleeping woman. “Baby, I’m not mad anymore.”
The night is getting darker and darker and the tranquility of the night made people’s qualm disappear. Soon after, it is already early in the morning. Most people are falling asleep and Waylon is no exception.
It seems that after a hazy layer of smoke, Waylon has returned to the alley back then. He was conspired by the people around him and separated from the people he once with. Not only was he seriously injured, but he was also drugged and weak. With the last ounce of his strength, he fled to a small alley, making his energy dissipate.
He fell to the ground as his body felt languid. Although he didn’t even have the strength to open his eyes, he tried his best not to lose consciousness.
The man who had calculated his plot already chased him and he thought he was going to be cut this time. But then, he was rescued by a girl. Unfortunately, the group of people chasing him also caught up.
If the group of people found him, not only him but the girl would not be able to survive. Waylon believed that this girl would leave him behind and take care of herself first just like what a normal person would do. To his surprise, the girl not only didn’t leave him but with her wit, she managed to disperse the group of people.
He was rescued and the girl made him feel safe. With his drained energy and almost empty blood, he could no longer hold it. Relieved, Waylon started to lose consciousness.
When he woke up, he was temporarily blinded. Because he wasn’t sure who the woman is, he didn’t rush to contact Bill but stayed at the girl’s house.
He stayed for a week under the woman’s care. During that week, he and the woman get to know each other. Even though they just met, the two of them fell in love and did the most intimate things.
Later, when the girl was out shopping, Bill caught the traitor and found it. Since the company was under a crisis and on the verge of bankruptcy, Waylon had to go back and deal with it.
Therefore, without waiting for the girl to return, he left with Bill leaving only a ring and a piece of paper.
It was already three months after he had dealt with everything and healed his eyes.
The girl has never come to him and he asked people to find that woman but she seems to have disappeared without a trace, leaving only the memories she shared with him.
Waylon was in his dream. As if he is seeing the girl’s back again, he wanted to prevent her from leaving. As he went further and further, he couldn’t help but shout. “Don’t go!”
“Waylon, wake up…”
When Waylon heard someone calling him, he opened his eyes sharply, facing Alena’s concerned gaze, and heard her ask. “Waylon, what’s wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?”
Suddenly awakened, the biting chill on Waylon’s body hadn’t disappeared yet.
Watched by Waylon’s sharp and even indifferent eyes, Alena trembled but chose to smile reluctantly. “I saw you are not sleeping well, so I woke you up.”
The sky outside the window was already clear. Waylon, who recovered a little, immediately turned sober as he closed his eyes as if suppressing all emotions.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, I had a dream.” The past buried by time has become a thing of the past. He hasn’t remembered so clearly for a long time. The reason why he dreamed about it was probably that the ring that had disappeared for five years was found again.
Alena looked at the man who had stood up with his well-defined lines and eight-pack abs. Suddenly, she felt thirsty. She looked a little uncomfortably away, not wanting to appear hungry for pleasure. “Um… I want to go back, I need to get something today.”
Although Bill removed all her luggage from Darcy’s home before, there were still a lot of things that were missing and she had never seen Darcy since she was injured. In this way, she thought that this is a great opportunity for them to meet again.
Waylon’s movement in buttoning his polo paused. Without turning his head, he asked in a deep voice. “You’ll go to Darcy?”
“Yes, I also want to go back to see her.” Alena lifted the quilt and got out of bed as her wine-red lacy lingerie drawn in a graceful arc.
She picked up the checkered tie on the side and fastened it for him, put her arms around his neck like a little woman, acting like a baby. “Can I?”
Waylon didn’t refuse and clasped her waist with his big hands. He took the person into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and answered with a small smile. “I will let Bill send you off.”
Having become accustomed to his kissing from time to time, Alena calmly arranged his necktie for him. “No, it’s okay for me to go back by myself. I don’t know when I will come back. Besides, it is not good for Bill to wait.”
Bill is Waylon’s assistant. Many things are handled by him, and it is inconvenient to not be around his boss for a long time.
“Well then, take care of yourself.” Squeezing her cheek, he took the hand-made tailored suit jacket on the side and turned around to left.
Alena looked at him until he could no longer see his retreating back.
