Chapter 186

Manila’s pretty face was pale and powerless, looking fragile and soft. She was like a small animal in danger, instinctively hiding in Jareth’s arms.

Jareth’s gaze dropped, his heart felt a chill, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly

The damp touch from the girl mingled with the warmth of his skin through his black thin shirt. His breath hitched, and he tightened his arms subconsciously.

“Miss Marilla?” His voice was a low whisper, slightly hoarse.

Marilla clutched his shirt tightly, her eyes closed. She remained silent.

“Are you hurt?” Jareth asked softly

She rested her forehead against his chest and shook her head.

Affection welled up in his heart.

The two bouncers saw Mr. Jareth approaching and immediately changed their attitude, bowing respectfully to greet him.

“Good evening, Mr. Jareth!”

“What just happened? Jareth asked lazily, still holding Marilla.

“Nothing”

The bouncer who had been most aggressive towards Marilla smiled, “This lady is a fan of Ada. She insisted on going in without an invitation. We tried to stop her, but she didn’t listen, so.”

“So you guys got rough? Jareth’s mouth curled up, his gaze deep and unreadable.

“No, we just stopped her from going in.” The bouncer downplayed, not daring to admit they bullied a girl..

Jareth smirked, then whispered into Marilla’s ear, “Do you want me to make it right for you?”

Marilla didn’t dare to look at him, she nodded, and then shook her head.

Jareth held Marilla with his left arm, and with his right hand, he drew his phone from his suit pocket and dialed Thaddeus.
