Chapter 340: Misunderstanding
Cheyenne carefully avoided creating any barriers or curtains between them, convinced that Kelvinhad no interest in her. She believed their previous sexual intercourses were solely for completingold Mr. Foley's tasks, and as for the last time, it was because both of them were drugged.
Today, Kelvin hadn't consumed alcohol or been drugged, and he was completely sober. Shebelieved he wouldn't repeat the distasteful act he despised. After resolving her thoughts, she laydown with her back to Kelvin, covering herself tightly with the blanket.
Staring at the shadows on the wall for a few minutes, she expected to struggle with insomnia.Surprisingly, the scent of the blanket, belonging to him, quickly put Cheyenne to sleep. The roomfilled with the soothing sound of her even breaths. The bedside lamp still illuminated the room withits warm, yellow light, casting a glow on her slender body.
Kelvin lay with one hand supporting his chin, gazing at her back. Her baby-like sleeping posturerevealed a person with deep insecurities.
Suddenly, his eyes felt a bit sour. He recalled a phrase that his friend Sam once said to him, "Aperson who has been in the dark for a long time and cannot see the light, why should you expectthem to like the light? If one day they are willing to step out of the darkness and embrace the light, itmeans they have opened their heart completely."
Once such a person returned to the darkness again, he would become completely cold-blooded andmerge with the darkness.
Was Cheyenne such a person? After choosing him due to her lack of security, he had dismantledher dependency inch by inch with his own hands. Now that she had returned to the darkness, would
she never trust him again?
Kelvin's gaze lingered on her profile for a while, and finally, he shifted his attention to her handoutside the blanket. The gauze on it had turned dark purple, the bloodstains having dried andstained the fabric.
He suddenly got up, put on his slippers, and quietly left the room. In a short while, Kelvin returnedwith a medical supply box in hand. He tiptoed to Cheyenne's bedside.
Sitting at the head of the bed, his tall and sturdy figure leaned forward, and Kelvin lightly furrowedhis brows. He reached out a large hand and gently lifted Cheyenne's delicate hand.
Why was her hand so cold?
After holding it in his palm for a while, Kelvin slowly unwrapped the gauze on her hand. His actionswere deliberate, as if preparing for a significant project, and he was wholly absorbed, as if this werehis utmost priority.
The corner of his eyes kept an eye on Cheyenne's expressions. At the slightest hint of her frowning,he would pause, leaning down to gently blow on her hand.
Cheyenne, still in a drowsy state, felt her hand was slightly cold. She didn't open her eyes,attempting to pull her hand back. The subtle movement didn't discourage him; instead, Kelvinsensed that she had woken up.
She was pretending to be asleep.
Kelvin, bolder than ever, held onto her hand and gently removed the gauze, cleaning thebloodstains with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. His movements were exceptionally gentle.
This side of him was a first for Cheyenne. Subconsciously, she buried her face in the blanket, tightlybiting down on it while secretly opening her eyes to watch the reflection on the wall.
Kelvin, lowering his head to blow on her wound, cast a shadow on the wall, creating an image thatseemed like he was devoutly kissing her fingertips. The scene was warm and beautiful.
However, the dream-like scene that Cheyenne had yearned for happened while she was "asleep,"yet bitterness was all that lingered in her heart.
After treating her wound, Kelvin was covered in a thin layer of sweat. With a satisfied smile on hisface, he turned off the light and returned to his own futon. That night, both of them tossed andturned, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
Abbie, who also couldn't sleep, endured until dawn. She opened her eyes filled with hatred,witnessing a sliver of golden sunlight seeping through the unclosed curtain, adding a touch ofbrightness to the dim room.
Wearing an exhausted and pale expression, Abbie got up and walked to the window barefoot.Extending a fair and delicate hand, she pulled the curtain aside. The dazzling light from outsideshone on her, but Abbie felt an unusual chill.
Staring silently at the bright world outside the window, she noticed at the entrance that the maidwho had been dismissed last night was in casual clothes, holding a suitcase, bidding farewell toJoe.
Abbie couldn't help but sneer, muttering, "Serves her right."
She dressed, performed a simple toilette, and was about to leave the room to wait for Kelvin in thedownstairs dining room to go to the company together. However, as she stepped out, she overheardtwo maids carrying two cups of milk, chatting as they walked.
"Do you know? Last night, Master Kelvin slept with Miss Lawrence again, and I heard it was initiatedby Master Kelvin."
"No way. Could it be that Miss Lawrence and Master Kelvin are getting back together?"
"Joe said that Master Kelvin came down around eleven to look for the medicine box, worried aboutMiss Lawrence's hand."
"In fact, Miss Lawrence is quite nice. When she arrived, old Mr. Foley became much happier. I quitelike her."
"Me too. Once, when my family was sick, Miss Lawrence heard about it and gave me a ten-dayvacation. She even gave me a bottle of some medicine. It's really effective. My mom's asthma hasbeen much better after taking her medicine for almost ten years."
"Really? Miss Lawrence is amazing. No wonder Mr. Owen says she's the next candidate for thehospital director. It's a pity..."novelbin
"Ah, I hope Master Kelvin can win Miss Lawrence back soon."
As their footsteps and conversation faded away, Abbie, shocked, heard a piece of news that almostmade her bite her teeth off: last night, Cheyenne slept in Kelvin's room.
How is it possible?
He doesn't allow anyone into his room, not even old Mr. Foley, who can only sit in the study if hewants to.
No, it can't be true!
Kelvin and Cheyenne are divorced, and the latter is dating both Master Iker and Mr. Larasimultaneously; her reputation is already tarnished.
How could he possibly like Cheyenne?
With tears in her eyes, Abbie ran to the door of Kelvin's room. Coincidentally, the maid knocked onthe door and handed over a cup of milk.
The man, wearing a black checkered home robe, had a cold and fair face, adorned with glassesthat had a delicate gold border.
Taking the milk, he gave a low command, "Keep your voice down; she's still sleeping."
"Yes, Master Kelvin."
Through the crack in the door, Abbie's gaze fell on the bed she had yearned for. The blanket wasraised in one area.
Long hair spilled from under the covers, trailing down to the floor.
It was Cheyenne.
