Chapter 80
The night was breaking.
William Black came out of the room, and his face was expressionless, but his whole person gave off a sort of air of keeping strangers at a distance.
It was only when he saw Mary sitting in the courtyard drinking tea that a slight hint appeared at the bottom of his eyes.
Maybe it was because his eyes were too focused, or maybe it was because Mary Kinson was sensitive. After a while, she turned to the side and looked at him.
William Black approached under her gaze, and they stood eye to eye.
Mary Kinson’s lips were slightly parted, and she swallowed what she was about to ask.
Mary Kinson stepped forward, raised her small hand, and tapped him on the shoulder, though her small hand compared to his broad shoulder was only like a child tapping an adult on the shoulder, with a certain asymmetry.
But in William Black’s black eyes there flashed a gleam of light never before seen.
He did not move, allowing her to pat his shoulder.
He relied on the temperature that hand exuded, and had to spend this sad moment.
Mary Kinson does not know why she did it either, but when Richard Black was sad, she accompanied him that way.
I do not know how many times I did that. William Black suddenly raised his big hand and held her little hand in his palm, “OK, let us go back to the west yard.”
His big hands so hot as if they were burning through her heart.
Mary Kinson could not tear herself away, so she let him pull her out of the east yard.
No sooner are they a few steps out of the East Yard than two people rush over from the side walk, in tandem.
Ahead of them walks Teddy Black. He has just returned from the hotel to take care of things. As soon as he got back, he heard he was uncomfortable and came straight without even being in the south courtyard.
Richard followed close on his heels and frowned, “Is Grandfather not in a good mood these two days?”
Teddy Black was in a hurry and marched with long strides, “Do not say it, let us check first. I do not know what your grandfather’s situation is now…”
“Good.”
Walking on the staggered path, Mary Kinson and William Black walked side by side.
William Black lowered his voice, “I would like to hold the engagement banquet as soon as possible.”
Mary Kinson nodded, “You can arrange it.”
“OK, do not hesitate to ask for anything.”
Mary Kinson looked at him from the side and narrowed her eyes, “No matter how urgent it is, can you wait for me to think about it in the evening?”
“Yes.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
At this point Mary Kinson suddenly saw Richard walking through the diagonally opposite promenade.
Her chestnut pupils suddenly dilated, and then the whole person suddenly froze for a moment.
William Black took her hand, perceived her subtle fluctuations of emotion, and his gaze immediately wandered.
But Mary Kinson paid no attention to him.
Her eyes fell upon the body of another man, and she unconsciously laid aside William Black’s hand.
At that moment, the temperature around her dropped.
Mary Kinson reacted in hindsight, and her eyes panicked, “I…”
At that moment, William Black followed her previous gaze and saw the father and son walking straight to Grandpa’s room.
He slowly looked back, and the eagle’s eyes were dull.
Mary Kinson had never sensed that terrible aura in anyone before. Out of pure instinct, she took two steps back.
There was no railing at the edge of the boardwalk.
Her right foot stepped into nothing, her body went off balance, and she fell back.
“Ah!”
She unconsciously closed her eyes and waited for the painful blow.
But suddenly, a large hand grabbed her by the waist.
When she recovered from the shock, she saw William Black’s strong chest like a city wall, and the unique agarwood of his suit clung to the tip of his nose.
Mary Kinson lifted her gaze and looked into William Black’s eyes, which were as deep as the abyss. The bottom of his eyes was like a bright Milky Way, beautiful and unpredictable.
In her past life, Mary Kinson had only seen Richard’s starry eyes and had been in love with him all her life because of that.
Until now, Mary Kinson had not understood what a starry pupil like the sea was.
In comparison, William Black’s eyes are better.
It’s just… his eyes as if they wanted to devour her.
On the boardwalk on the other side.
Richard, following his father, heard a familiar voice as if in a trance.
But the sound was too short to sound real.
Just a step before crossing his legs to enter the east courtyard, he hurriedly stopped.
“What are you still doing, go to your grandfather!”
Richard backed away to examine his eyes, not thinking about the voice, but took to his heels again, followed by Teddy Black into the house.
On the opposite promenade.
Mary Kinson stood on the edge, her back foot still hanging in the air. Her body could only hold on by leaning against William Black’s body.
If William Black does not take a step back, she can not move forward and stand still.
So she can only hold the position he holds her in and not move.
“How long will you hide?” William Black’s thin lips opened.
Mary Kinson bit down on her red lips with her shell teeth and evaded, “I… I was not hiding.”
The big devil snorted coldly, calm and stately, and sat down on the gazebo.
The nasal sound is very light, but it’s like a thunderclap that hits Mary Kinson’s heart.
Mary Kinson’s waist is a little sour. This feeling is like years for her, but she can not move, so she can only pray that this punishment will pass quickly.
Damn, my feet are numb!
As a last resort, she can only slowly raise her eyes, “How long will I stand like this?”
William Black took a deep look at Mary Kinson, grabbed the back of her neck with his hand and took her aside like a kitten.
