I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 835

Chapter 835 Don’t Even Think About Coming In


Inside the rental house, Daphne, not even bothering to wash her face, grabbed her things and put on her shoes to leave.

Meanwhile, Louis leaned against the shoe cabinet next to her. "My sister asked you to join us for dinner tonight."

Daphne's face turned red. "I'm not going. Just tell her I have to fly out of town for an event this afternoon!"

She genuinely thought she was mad. So be it that she couldn't think straight the night before but to answer the ringing phone she thought was hers groggily… She didn't know how to explain it to Leanna anymore.

What should she say?!

She had come to talk some sense into him, but not only did she fail to do so, she even ended up making out with him.

It was absolutely mortifying.

Seeing that she had put her shoes on, Louis proposed, "I'll walk you out."

However, Daphne refused. "You just recovered from a fever. Don't bother."

After a pause, she still reminded him, "Take another cold medicine after lunch and eat light at your sister's tonight, alright?"

She had paid a great price for his illness. She just hoped that he wouldn't make it worse.

At that, Louise gazed silently at her, not saying a word, making Daphne uncomfortable. "Wha… what's wrong?"

Louis spoke slowly. "Can I come and see you tonight?"

Daphne hesitated. "Don't you have school tomorrow?"

"Not in the morning."

Daphne fell silent this time.

Normally, she should have rejected such a request, but she couldn't do so when it was him. Moreover, she wanted to see him too.

She didn't know if it was because of their intimate actions last night, but it seemed that the thin layer of restraint between them had disappeared.

The moment Louis spoke, Daphne unexpectedly had the urge of wanting to be with him all the time.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before.

After a while, Daphne stuttered, "Um, I, um... you can come over if you finish dinner early. Remember to bring your cold medicine."

Louis' face slowly lit up with a smile in response. "Okay."

Daphne cleared her throat at that and tried to make herself look serious. "I'm off now."

Just as she turned around, a hand wrapped around her waist.

Louis pressed her against the door, his hand supporting her head, and he leaned down to kiss her.

After a moment, he stepped back a little, his forehead pressing against hers, his breath hot, and his voice hoarse. "See you tonight."

It took Daphne a couple of seconds to recover from stupefaction before running out the door.

In just those two short minutes, she already regretted agreeing to let him come over tonight.

She thought his 'see you tonight' took their ambiguous relationship to the extreme, adding a touch of lingering desire to the coming night.

…

Leanna and Aidan had just returned from the supermarket at 4.00PM. when they found Daniel waiting for a long time at their door.

Daniel smiled at them. "Miss McKinney, President Pearson."

"Is Zoe not home?" Leanna asked.

"She is," Daniel answered frankly. "But she kicked me out."

As he spoke, a snigger from a man sounded beside them.

It was particularly obvious in the empty hallway.

At that, Leanna gave the man next to her a warning glare, then coughed and said to Daniel, "How about… you head back first today? This kind of thing takes time."

Daniel nodded and looked at the shopping bag in Aidan's hand. "That's quite a lot of shopping, Miss McKinney. Are you cooking tonight?"

Leanna sensed that he had some ulterior motives, but before she could speak, Daniel continued, "I wonder if I have the honor of having dinner with you guys?"

"No," Aidan said flatly.

Daniel was unfazed, having foreseen the answer. He maintained a polite smile. "That's alright. I'll just continue standing here."

Underneath his relaxed smile, he seemed a bit pitiful.

Leanna was about to say something when Aidan took her hand and went into their apartment.

"Ignore him," Aidan said after closing the door.

"But…"

"Can't you see that he's deliberately acting pitifully to gain your sympathy?"

Leanna rolled her eyes and changed her shoes while saying, "Why does he want my sympathy? Besides, he's a decent guy. Even if he's really acting pitiful, he's not cunning and stubborn like someone."

Aidan was at a loss for words.

He put the shopping bag on the table and nodded in agreement. "You're right. Elijah is indeed like that."

Couldn't be bothered to argue with him, Leanna grabbed the vegetables and went into the kitchen.
