Aaron sat downstairs in his car, his hand casually resting on the steering wheel, looking fixedly ahead.
Not long after, Elaine and Darnell came out at the same time and left in a car.
Halfway through the day, he withdrew his gaze and was about to drive when he noticed a man standing next to his
car, smiling politely.
Aaron lowered the window and his face revealed a hint of impatience, "What are you trying to do again."
Assistant Darnell said, "Aaron, Master of Riverside asked me to remind you that now that you have started your life
over, you should appreciate the present and also not go near Miss James again."
Aaron laughs, "I can't understand a word you guys are saying."
Assistant Darnell said, "According to the boys who deliberately retaliated against Aaron two nights ago, they were
receiving an anonymous text message telling them your location."
Aaron inclined his head: "I don't understand, you mean by that, the anonymous text messages are from me? Then
what am I trying to do? Figure they beat me up? Otherwise, how about this, you have any clues to tell me, I will
thank your whole family."
The assistant didn't say anything else, just said, "Aaron take care of yourself."
When he walked away, Aaron gradually put away the smile on his face, his eyes flooded with coldness and gloom.
......
Riverside City.
At 1 a.m., the plane landed at a private airport.
The city's night sky is drifting with fine rain, like a dense fog.
The weather in City H was hot and Elaine wore little, so as soon as she got off the plane, she was frozen and
shivering, instantly waking up from her sleep.
Riverside City's cold is different from Switzerland's, full of humid temperatures.
And by the looks of it, this year it should not be summer yet.
Just as Elaine's teeth were chattering, Darnell's suit rested on her shoulder.
He took her by the shoulders and whispered, "Get in the car first."
All along the way, Elaine looked out the window.

Although it was late at night, I couldn't see much, but I could still feel that Riverside City had changed in the past
two years.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something and froze, then turned her head to look at Darnell: "Where are
we ...... going back to ah?"
Darnell said, "Do you want them to know you're back."
Elaine is referring to those of the James family.
She doesn't want anything to do with them anymore.
Elaine shook her head gently, "Not really."
Darnell looked the same: "Then go back to my place."
Elaine felt as if she was being a bit redundant in asking this question.
Even if she ever wanted to go home, when she did, she was the only one left.
When it's light, go see her dad again.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at Darnell's private residence.
Elaine had just entered the door when she felt a little thing lunge at her, picking at her calves and jumping for joy.
She squatted down and held it in her arms, a smile on her face: "Little Cake, you've grown so big."
Cake excitedly licked her hand in response.
Elaine got up with it in her arms and turned to Darnell: "Is it good? Has it bothered you in the last two years?"
Darnell glanced at Cake, his eyes finally resting on her, "Very good, no noise or fuss."
Elaine inclined her head and took Cake to have some fun.
Its nest is still in Elaine's room, just not next to the bed like she had before.
Instead, in the corner, a one-meter-high wooden house was built.
And there is a layer of fences and doorways, separate from the area in the room.
Like its active resting space, it has a lot of its toys and supplies inside.
But once in the room, Cake expertly jumped on the couch.
Elaine then knew that Darnell's plan to try to divide the space with him was not very successful.
After playing with Cake for a while, Elaine's eyes were drawn to the ornaments on the table not far away.
She walked over and picked it up.
This gift, he still received.
Darnell leaned quietly on the door and just watched her, his lips curled slightly.
When Elaine looked up, she met his dark, smiling eyes.
Elaine raised something in her hand at him, "Do you like this."
Darnell lifted his leg and walked over, "Like it."
"Then I'll go back in a couple of days. ......"
Before the words left her mouth, she was pulled into his arms with his arm around her waist.
Darnell looked down at her, his voice low: "Want something to eat?"
Elaine shook her head without thinking, "No, I ate a lot tonight, I'll gain weight."
"Then sleep."
Elaine looked at him and blinked, "Where am I going to sleep."
Darnell raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where do you want to sleep."
"I ......"
Before she could say the words, her lips were blocked.
Darnell's hand caressed the back of her neck, and with his other hand he easily picked her up and headed for the
bathroom.
Elaine ummed and hugged her entire body to him to prevent herself from falling.
Once in the bathroom, Elaine accidentally touches the shower and the water from the nozzle spills down, wetting
his shirt.
Elaine suddenly felt that the scene was somewhat eerily familiar ......
Bathroom, abs, him holding her.

Elaine tilted her head back slightly and gasped, "Wait, was I ...... before"
But it shouldn't be, they were on a yacht the first time.
Why did she have this fleeting illusion of familiarity.
Darnell's dark eyes stared at her, "I thought that the day would never come when you would think about it."
Elaine: "?"
She spoke sarcastically, "When was that?"
"The day you ran back from Switzerland to see me, drunk."
Elaine's face showed confusion as she tried to recall, "I was drunk, but I remember, I came to my room to look for
you, you weren't there, so I went to my room to sleep ......"
Darnell looked sideways at the bathtub, "Are you sure you went to your room to sleep?"
Elaine followed his line of sight, and instantly, some dead memories began to assault her.
No ...... is not it?
Did she lie down in the bathtub to sleep.
Darnell turned his head, met her gaze again, and spoke unsteadily, "You know why I had a cold the next day."
Elaine was even more puzzled, was this also about her?
Looking at her surprised and confused look, Darnell laughed lowly: "You do seem to have forgotten all about it."
Elaine reasoned back: "You ignored me those days, I was sad before I drank so much, it's hard for people to
remember things when they're not conscious, I ......"
"Yeah."
Hearing the tone of his voice, Elaine knew that the situation was not good.
She tried to recall, suddenly realized something and stared in surprise: "Then the time I stole a kiss from you, did
you ...... know all about it ......"
The further back she goes, the lower her voice gets and the less breath she has.
Darnell's dark eyes are smiling and noncommittal.
Elaine wondered, "Then why didn't you expose me if you didn't like me at that time?"
