Chapter 75 Fair and Square
“I… I didn’t sleep.” Adele opened her eyes in a daze.
She didn’t intend to fall asleep, but she couldn’t control herself.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Damon’s face darkened. Without a word, he immediately reached out and wrapped her in his arms. He ordered in a low voice, “Hold on a little longer. Someone will come to find us soon.”
Adele nodded, but her mental state was still weak. Feeling the warmth in his arms, she reached out to hug him and rubbed against his arms greedily.
Damon was not used to this kind of touch. He frowned and subconsciously looked down. When he saw the woman sticking to his chest like a kitten, his hand that was about to push her away paused.
Forget it.
After a while, Adele unconsciously opened her eyes again, and her head was about to fall asleep bit by bit.
Damon reached out and patted her shoulder. He woke her up again, “Adele…”
She woke up again and again and fell asleep again and again. He could clearly feel the coldness of her body, and his heart slowly felt a little uneasy.
If this continued, it would definitely not work!
He took a deep breath and said, “Adele, let’s chat.”
“Okay…” Adele answered in a daze.
He tried his best to keep her awake by talking to her non-stop. He even reached out to rub her arms back and forth to preserve her body temperature. However, the effect was unsatisfactory. After a while, Adele closed her eyes again and did not respond.
“You can’t sleep now!” Damon gritted his teeth helplessly. Looking at the woman’s lips which were a little purple from the cold, he felt a little anxious in his heart.
Seeing that she was leaning against his chest without any reaction, he frowned, reached out to lift her chin, and kissed her directly.
A warm and soft touch spread on her lips. Adele’s body trembled and she suddenly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man’s face that was close to her. He seemed to be a little angry. His movements were forceful and painful. It made Adele wake up.
Damon! Why did he suddenly kiss her?
Adele’s hand subconsciously pressed against his chest and pushed him away a little. She asked with a blushed face, “Why… why did you steal kisses from me!”
Stealing kisses?
Hearing her words, Damon unconsciously raised his eyebrows.
How could this be considered stealing kisses? It was fair and square.
The hand that was wrapped around the back of her head slightly exerted force. He lifted his lips, “I am not stealing,” he said.
After saying this, he leaned over and lowered his head, deepening the kiss right in front of her surprised eyes…
Adele was stunned at first, but soon she was fluttered by his rhythm, and the sanity in her mind was stirred into a lump of paste…
It was a long and lingering kiss, and it was not until her breathing became difficult that Damon let go of her.
Adele’s face was red, and she looked at the man with evasive eyes.
“Are you still cold?”
Hearing this, Adele subconsciously shook her head.
“Are you still sleepy?”
She was stunned and shook her head.
Damon had achieved his goal. He raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak, but Adele suddenly changed her expression. “Did you hear anything?” she asked.
“What?” he asked.
“Don’t talk, listen!” Adele pressed her hand down.
After pausing for a few seconds, he really heard a voice coming from afar. It was small, blurry, like a cry.
Slowly, the voice became clearer.
“Mr. Yusuf…”
“Adele…”
All kinds of shouts mixed together. Adele and Damon turned back at the same time. When their eyes met, there was a little surprise in their eyes.
Someone had come to find them!
Damon immediately stood up and responded in the direction of the voice, “We are here!”
“We are here!” Adele also stood up and shouted.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Soon, a boat went around the bushes and saw them.
“They are here!” Daniel and a few male colleagues were on the boat.
Looking at the ship slowly approaching, a hint of joy appeared in Damon’s heart, and he subconsciously looked at Adele beside him.
She was smiling, but she did not seem as lively as before. Her face was pale, and her smile seemed to be forced out.
Damon’s heart sank, and he immediately asked, “What happened to you?”
Adele smiled and shook her head at him.
“Mr. Yusuf! Adele! Why are you here?”
“That’s right! We’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
“…”
“There was a problem with the engine. The boat had stopped here and couldn’t move any further.”
Daniel and the others immediately leaned over and let the two of them get on their boat.
After getting on the boat, Damon glanced at the slightly trembling woman and asked the others, “Do you have any extra clothes?”
Taking the coat sent by someone else, he immediately handed the clothes to Adele without saying anything and ordered expressionlessly, “Put them on.”.
Although they were all male colleagues on the boat, when they saw Damon’s actions, their gazes towards the two of them became a little more complicated.
After all, they were all very clear that Mr. Yusuf usually turned a blind eye to women and would never care so much about a female colleague, and Adele had actually become an exception.
It seemed that the rumors seemed to be somewhat plausible.
Then, he said, “Hurry back!”
Daniel and the male colleagues next to him looked at each other and said at the same time, “Yes, sir!”
They reached the shore in less than twenty minutes.
The crowd around the shore saw them return and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
“Send her back to the hotel immediately. Have her take a hot bath and take some cold medicine,” Damon said to Shirley, who was supporting Adele.
“Alright, Mr. Yusuf.” Shirley nodded.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Adele again.
It had been more than three hours since the start of the competition. Damon and Adele had been alone on the boat. No one could tell if something had happened.
The female colleagues were dissatisfied, and all of them glanced at Adele again and again.
Adele felt cold all over. She did not notice those unkind eyes at all. She took a deep breath, and her body trembled unconsciously. She followed Shirley to the hotel quickly.
As soon as she returned to the hotel room, Shirley immediately filled a whole tub of bathwater and pushed her into the bathroom. “Hurry up and take a hot bath! This is the first time that Mr. Yusuf gave me a direct order. I must complete it!”
Adele smiled weakly at her and forced herself to say, “Okay, I will also cooperate in it…”
Hearing this, Shirley smiled at her and left the bathroom.
The door closed and Adele slowly took off her clothes and entered the bath filled with hot water.
Her cold body came into contact with the hot water from inside to outside, and then she slowly awakened.
However, after a while, a strong sense of sleepiness swept over again. Adele patted her dizzy head, leaned back, and closed her eyes.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed. Shirley was watching TV outside and did not hear any movements in the bathroom for a long time. She got up and knocked on the door. “How is it? Are you done?”
There was no response in the bathroom.
Shirley was nervous. She immediately pushed open the door and entered. She saw Adele lying in the bathroom, seemingly asleep.
She quickly went forward and patted Adele’s face. “Adele, wake up!”
Unexpectedly, Adele’s face was frighteningly hot!
