"You were with William?" Daemon's voice immediately changed.
Derila glanced at William, a little vain, but still said stiffly, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"The time at your place now 1:00 a.m." Daemon's voice carried an eerie chill through
the phone, "Derila, you blacked out my phone and then spent time with a man in
the middle of the night, you're fine, fine as h-e-l-l!"
"No, I…" Derila was about to explain, but Daemon hung up the phone at the time.
Derila held the phone and she was confused, "Holy sh!t, he actually hung up on
me."
"You're the one who talks too much!" William sternly scolded Clark.
"My subordinate knows my sin." Clark hurriedly bowed his head and apologised, "I'm
sorry, Ms.Feroma, it's all my fault."
"It's none of your business, he's the one who's too petty!" Derila looked indifferent,
"Alright, keep eating, don't let him affect your mood."
"Derila, why don't I give Mr. Lierger a call and explain." William asked gently, "It's
so late now and you're with me, he's bound to misunderstand."
"Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, what do you care about him?" Derila said
in an unpleasant voice, "He didn't explain to me before when he was tangled up with
that Penny, either."
"Penny is wishful thinking, Mr.Lierger doesn't like her." William said with a smile, "I see
that he is infatuated with you."
"If he really loved me that much, he would have come to me long ago, and would still be
consumed until now?" The more Derila thought about it, the more angry she
became, "It's been nine days since I returned to S Nation, has he made a single move?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Derila lost her appetite, "William, thank you for the
lotus seed soup, I'll go back first."
"Well, it's late, go back early and rest." William slid his wheelchair to see her off, "You're
angry now, I won't persuade you, remember to give Mr.Lierger a call when your anger
subsides."
"No call." Derila said gamely, "Do what you like."
"Bye!" Derila sped off in her car.
William stayed where he was, watching Derila's leave until the shadow of her car
disappeared from sight, then he withdrew his gaze and ordered, "Let's go back too."
Clark: "Yes."
….
Derila returned home, afraid of waking up Layla and the others, parked the car
outside, then gingerly walked into the villa and was about to go upstairs when a familiar
voice came from behind her, "Back!"
"Auntie!" Derila turned around and looked timidly at Layla.
"Go and take a bath." Layla held her pillow and went straight upstairs, "I'll sleep with you
tonight."
"Huh?" Derila froze, they used to live in a shabby old house, she was afraid of mice
and didn't dare to sleep at night, so Layla would keep her company and would pat her
shoulder to lull her to sleep.
But since Derila had grown up, she had got used to sleeping alone.
And the house was so big and so clean, there were no more mice.
"There's a rainstorm tonight and it's going to thunder and I'm scared." Layla found an
excuse that wasn't an excuse.
"Okay." Derila was a bit helpless, but couldn't resist Layla.
When Derila returned to her room, she took a shower and came out in her
pajamas, and Layla was already lying next to her with an eye patch on, clutching her
bunny pillow and not moving a muscle.
Derila thought she was asleep and gingerly lay down on the bed.
"Sleepy?" Layla asked suddenly.
"Fine." Derila was startled, "Auntie, you're still awake?"
"Waiting for you." Layla's voice seemed a little low in the silent night, "Derila, Uncle
Lincoln and I are leaving for a while, you and Anthony should take good care of
yourselves."
"Leave? Where to?" Derila asked hurriedly, "Is it to deal with the Foundation?"
