Chapter 44: It Has Been Planned
Alan Hoyle smiled softly. "You do not have to be so nervous. Though I’m not a gentleman, I have a special feeling about you. I do not want to hurt you. If you do not want to, I will not do anything to you.”
In the dark, they could not see each other's faces. Olive gradually removed the coldness and strangeness on her face, quietly got close to his chest, greedily breathing his unique male scent, such as camphora with a light tobacco flavor.
How nice it will be if I can stay a little longer like this. She thought.
“Olive, do you know a place called Hehuatang?
Olive was slightly stunned. "There is one in the western suburbs of Jiangcheng University. I do not know if that is one you are talking about."
“Have you been there?”
“Of course, there is a large lotus pond, where the scenery is particularly beautiful when the lotus bloom. When the lotus seeds are ripe, I with my classmates often went there to steal lotus seeds to eat. Once, I did not sit firmly on the boat and fell into the water, and I hid myself under the lotus leaves for a long time, which made my classmates so scared.”
She said a lot. She didn’t avoid to answer him, even asked him. "Why Mr. Hoyle suddenly asked me about it? Does that place mean anything to you? "
“I was diddled out of one of the most important things there. It did mean a lot for me.”
She couldn’t see his face but she could feel the penetration power in his eyes. Her heart suddenly shivered. " Mr. Hoyle is such a smart man, but still had been deceived? What a surprise. "
“What about you? Have you ever been deceived, or have you ever deceived people? "
He asked so casually, but Olive felt he pressed on her.
Alan Hoyle, why are you doing this?
You have a fiancée. You will be married next spring. Your good news has already been spread throughout the world. She is so beautiful, capable and has a good family background. She can help your career and let the Hoyles stand more stable.
Even if I tell you, I am the girl you are looking for, is there something changing? Your mother does not like me...
“Why are not you talking?”
He interrupted her thoughts. She bitterly smiled. "What can I say? We all will be deceived or say some lies in our lives. We are deceived, then we can learn to grow up. Also lies can be good. I dare not say that I’m totally a good person, and I’m always cautious about others, but I have never meant to hurt others.”
“Really?” He said slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but eventually released her. "Go. "
Olive froze. Though her body was relaxed, a feeling of emptiness raised in her heart. "Where? "
“Do you really want to sit here in the cool wind and catch a cold the next day? Then my sin will be heavy."
Did he finally come back to his conscience?
By the starlight, Olive followed his footsteps, along the soft beach, didn’t not know where to go.
He stopped. There was no sign of that so Olive could not stop herself and hit him on his strong back.
Fortunately, he turned back in time to hold her back, so she didn’t fall down. But she could not endure the pain, letting out a muffled groan and rubbing her aching nose.
“Are you all right?” He asked.
“I’m fine.” She did not want to appear a delicate look in front of him, but her nose was really hurt. His back didn’t seem to be made up by meat, it was like a stone. Olive rubbed her nose and thought.
A beam of light suddenly lit up.
She squinted for a long time to get used to it and found it was from a portable charging lamp.
He took her to the back of these stones, and a tent had been set up there.
Just one tent.
Alan stooped into the tent, then popped his head out. "What are you doing? Come in. "
Olive hesitated. A single tent, single man and woman, how to spend the night?
Thinking of it, she felt angry. This man clearly planned this. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Alan seems to have read her mind. "Do not worry, I am not going to eat you. I heard there are some snakes on this island. They swallow people with their bones.”
Knowing that he tried to scare her, Olive still felt her flesh creep, as if she had heard the sound of a scarlet snake rustling, and felt that a huge blood mouth was waiting for a chance in some dark place. She was so afraid that her goose bumps almost fell on the ground.
Compared to the creepy cold-blooded crawler, the man in front of her made her a little more comfortable.
