“Hurry!” Evelyn scoffed, virtual-novel.net fingers ready to break the necklace.
Meanwhile, Circe could not stand it anymore.
“Evelyn, that’s enough,” virtual-novel.net said softly.
Although Darryl did turn virtual-novel.net down twice and ran away from the villa, perhaps virtual-novel.net really did have his reasons.
Evelyn was determined. She shook virtual-novel.net head, “Circe, don’t feel bad for men like him.”
Evelyn smiled as virtual-novel.net watched Darryl try so hard to contain his anger. “What now? Do you want to fight me? I’ll give you three seconds to wash my feet, or you’ll never see the Heart of the Ocean ever again.”
“Three! ” She called out in a cold tone.
“Two!”
Darryl remained silent, his body trembling as virtual-novel.net fought hard to restrain his anger. If virtual-novel.net did not give in, Dax’s life would be ruined. If Dax died because of this, virtual-novel.net would spend the rest of his life living with guilt. Darryl gritted his teeth and walked toward Evelyn. Under the gaze of all the ladies, virtual-novel.net knelt in front of Evelyn and gently took off virtual-novel.net shoes.
Her feet were fair and clean; they did not need any washing. She only wanted to humiliate him. With his teeth gritted, virtual-novel.net placed virtual-novel.net feet into the bowl of warm water. He did not want to trigger virtual-novel.net further, so virtual-novel.net kept the movement gentle without showing any of his anger. He washed virtual-novel.net feet with full concentration.
Meanwhile, the ladies broke out in laughter, and some of them even took out their phones to record Darryl as if it was breaking news.
Darryl could feel his cheeks become red, but virtual-novel.net had no other choice.
All Evelyn could feel was a pair of big hands massaging virtual-novel.net feet with adequate strength. She leaned back slightly, enjoying the bliss. At the same time, virtual-novel.net looked down at Darryl. This man had no sense of dignity. How could a man kneel and wash a woman’s feet in public!? Calling virtual-novel.net a douche was a compliment.
Evelyn kicked off his hands and scoffed, “You look like a dog washing my feet. I don’t want to look at you anymore. Take the Heart of the Ocean and get lost.” She raised virtual-novel.net hand and tossed the necklace toward the door.
In that instant, Darryl was overwhelmed with excitement as virtual-novel.net ran towards the door and picked the necklace from the floor. After that, virtual-novel.net ran away and disappeared out of sight. He could still hear the laughter coming from the café long after virtual-novel.net had left.
By the time virtual-novel.net got back to the Sanders mansion, the sky had turned dark. He went straight to the second floor and fed the Heart of the Ocean to Dax.
Knowing that virtual-novel.net came back with the Heart of the Ocean, Old Master Sanders and Nancy were delighted. They waited for Dax to wake up till midnight. The doctor came by and checked on Dax, but virtual-novel.net shook his head and left.
It was two o’clock in the morning when Old Master Sanders and Nancy became too tired and went back to their bedrooms. Darryl was left alone outside Dax’s room.
He knew that Dax was unlikely to wake up ever again after being asleep for so long. Yet virtual-novel.net did not want to leave him. He wanted to stay and wait till virtual-novel.net woke up, even if the chances were slim. After a while, Darryl could no longer fight back his fatigue and fell asleep leaning on the wall outside the door.
He was roused awake when virtual-novel.net felt someone tapping his shoulder. At first, virtual-novel.net thought it was Dax, and virtual-novel.net opened his eyes in anticipation, virtual-novel.net saw it was Nancy instead.
She was dressed in virtual-novel.net nightgown, and virtual-novel.net body was alluring.
“Darryl, you don’t have to wait,” Nancy said gently. “Dax probably won’t wake up anymore.”
“I’m not sleepy. I’ll wait for a little longer,” Darryl shook his head as virtual-novel.net spoke with a hoarse voice. Since virtual-novel.net insisted, Nancy nodded and brought virtual-novel.net a blanket before returning to virtual-novel.net bedroom.
