Chapter 25: Too reckless

"Are you having fever?" Ethan asked as he noticed the unnatural expression on Davis’s face. Davis glanced coldly at Ethan who quickly shut his mouth up and averted his gaze.

It’s been a long time since he saw such an expression on Davis face. He patted his chest in relief that it was just a glare. It usually spells doom whenever it happens— he couldn’t help but wonder what he has done to offend him.

Though worried, he was grateful for the changes he noticed on him since Jessica’s arrival in the mansion. He seems to have began crawling out of his shell.

Though it may seem their relationship is just a boss and subordinate relationship but their bond has long exceeded such classification —they have passed through so much together.

Hearing Ethan’s question, Jessica’s eyes flew open. She looked at Davis briefly before she stretched her hand and touched his forehead—it was not hot. She sighed in relief and closed her eyes again. Davis glared at Ethan icily as he felt relieved that she didn’t pursue the matter further.

Davis looked at her for a while and sighed in resignation "I think it is too reckless for you to do that but if you say you aren’t then I don’t know what else to say", he muttered.
