In the middle of the dark, Leon Clarke’s hoarse voice sounded like Kenny Clarke’s.
Gloria Taylor dazed for a moment. She thought that Leon Clarke was somehow weird tonight.
She was just kidnapped, but after sleeping for a while, her mood was better. Meanwhile, Leon Clarke seemed to be in a bad mood. He looked gloomy as well.
She couldn’t figure out why and it frightened her.
She hesitated for a moment and decided to get off the car.
She stood behind him and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t speak. After putting his cigar out, he turned around.
Under the dim light of the night, Gloria Taylor couldn’t see his face clearly, but she could feel the pressure around him.
Suddenly, the man standing in front of her lowered his head and fiercely kissed her on the lips.
He kissed her deeply and his breath was hot. She felt warm and slightly shuddered by the sensation.
Then, she came back to her senses and stretched her hand to push him away.
But, Leon Clarke was different. He didn’t let her go no matter how hard she struggled.
Instead of loosening his arm, he lingered it around her waist and grabbed her tightly. She was unable to move.
The large gap of strength between a man and a woman made her struggle useless. She could only bear his increasingly rough kisses.
It was not until their breath getting heavier that he finally let her go.
Her body weakened. As soon as he let go of her, she felt like falling to the ground. With a swift move, he swept her off her feet and shove her back to the car.
Leon Clarke got inside the car from the other side and started the engine without saying anything.
After she calmed herself down, she knew that she was angry with his behavior, but she was unable to fight back. They went back to the villa in silence.
The villa was brightly lit and bodyguards were guarding each floor.
Gloria Taylor was surprised, “What happened?”
Did Kenny Clarke know that she was missing and ask his bodyguards to find her?
Leon Clarke who just molested her acted like he didn’t hear her. He got off the car and walked straight to the villa.
Gloria Taylor followed him. She looked at his tall and straight built from behind. She found that he was more and more unfathomable.
Once he was inside, he went straight upstairs.
Gloria Taylor walked inside. She could finally calm down, but she felt very hungry right now.
When a bodyguard saw her walking to the kitchen, he immediately followed her up and asked, “Young Lady, what would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“Do you have anything ready? I’ll eat anything.” She was very hungry that she felt she could eat two cows alive.
She said that she would eat anything ready, but the guards served her a table full of dishes instead.”
She was hungry. She quickly picked up her chopstick and began to eat.
Halfway through the meal, she saw Leon Clarke coming in and sitting opposite her.
The guard quickly prepared the dinnerware for him.
Gloria Taylor looked at him and asked, “Haven’t you eaten yet?”
“I don’t have time to eat.” Leon Clarke said faintly.
It took a lot of time for him to save her. It was only normal for him not to have time to eat.
Leon Clarke had changed his clothes and his hair was slightly wet. He must have bathed.
Gloria Taylor who had finished most of her meals said solemnly, “Thank you… for saving me again.”
Her feelings was complicated.
She had been trying to stay away from him, but he kept coming to save her. Now, their relationship was hard to explain.
“Don’t be stupid next time.”
He said flatly without looking up.
Gloria Taylor smiled helplessly, “I’m so stupid.” She sighed, “But, what else can I do? She is my mother. I cannot ignore her even if she is no good to me. I didn’t expect that she would gang up with them to deceive me and—”
Her voice cracked. She almost sobbed.
Then, she was silent. Her tight jaw showed that she was trying hard to bear it all.
Leon Clarke looked up to see her stubborn face. He said slowly, “Not all mothers are like her. My mother was a good person.”
Gloria Taylor looked up. Was he trying to comfort her?
When she thought that he would say something more, he lowered his head and ate slowly as if he didn’t just say that.
***
Gloria Taylor had a nightmare that night.
She woke up early and made breakfast for herself but she was not in the mood to eat. She sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV.
She was not in a hurry to confront the Taylors. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
She knew that even if she confronted them, Anne Taylor would not admit it.
Her phone buzzed.
She glanced at the caller ID. It was Edith Hall.
She called Edith Hall yesterday, but she didn’t explain what happened. She only said a few words, so, Edith Hall had no idea that she almost die yesterday.
Leon Clarke came to save her because Edith Hall told Carl Cook.
“Do you want to go shopping today? I will have to go on a tour in a few days to promote my new movie.”
“Sure.” Gloria Taylor replied.
She went back to her room to change her clothes. She met Leon Clarke when she went downstairs again.
“Where are you going?” Leon Clarke saw she was carrying a handbag. He knew that she was going out.
“I’m going shopping with my friend.” She added, “I’m going with Edith Hall. She is that girl you met the other time.”
Gloria Taylor found it strange that she deliberately explained it to him.
He stood up and picked up his car key, “I’ll drive you.”
Gloria Taylor was about to refuse, but she knew that it would be useless. Leon Clarke seemed to know what she was thinking and explained before she opened her mouth, “Cousin asks me to drive you when I’m free.”
When it came to Kenny Clarke, her eyes didn’t brighten up like before.
When she was kidnapped yesterday, it was Leon Clarke who came to save her. When she returned to the villa, she didn’t see Kenny Clarke around. She didn’t even hear Kenny Clarke saying a word of concern.
She thought that she had shown enough sincerity, but Kenny Clarke was still repulsing her.
If that’s the case, then it was better to them to treat each other like strangers.
They had nothing to do with each other, didn’t care about each other, and just lived their own lives.
Since she was a little girl, she had never been cared about. So, it was no big deal for her that Kenny Clarke treated her the same way.
With that in mind, she seemed to relax a lot. She took a few steps closer to Leon Clarke and said playfully, “You don’t have to drive me if it’s your cousin’s order, but if it’s your idea, I’m fine with it.”
