Chapter 188
Alena's eyes were clear and bright, but she still showed some stubbornness in her attitude.
Waylon suddenly felt uneasy as Alena looked at him with her eyes. So he turned his face away, unable to tell whether he was upset or not because of Alena's rejection. He said, "If you can't give me enough reason to help and let me touch you, just forget it and leave."
For Alena, Waylon's reaction was just an expression of indifference.
"Why are you doing this to me? I am just asking you for help and it was not really for me. Please, I know you are a kind-hearted person. Why do we need to get this far?" Alena complained.
If there was no way to let Darcy live in the house, Alena thought that it would be dangerous for Darcy to live alone.
Darcy is her best friend. When she divorced Waylon and moved out of the villa, Darcy took her in without hesitation. Now she can't just ignore Darcy of the protection she needed.
Waylon didn't know why Alena was so persistent, and her stubbornness made Waylon felt irritable, so she didn't want to be touched by him.
Thinking of this, Waylon suddenly became angry.
Waylon stared at her coldly, "I said, get out if you don't let me touch you. You are wasting my time!"
The words that blurted out of Waylon's mouth seemed like a sharp weapon to hurt her. Alena's face was a little embarrassed, and she does not know what to do.
After a long time, she humbly said, "Okay, I'll get out."
The door of the study room was closed again. Alena completely disappeared from sight.
Waylon's stiff body then relaxed. His disappointed feeling became inexplicably relieved.
When Waylon requested Alena to enjoy his touch, it was more to make things difficult for her. However, after speaking out, Waylon was afraid that Alena would really agree to be touched.
He wanted to get close to Alena, but he wanted her willingness. Waylon wanted Alena to use her body for her request to be granted, but apparently Alena refused to be touched by him.
Now Waylon was afraid that Alena might ask for help from other people and set the same condition. He was afraid that Alena might give in to others.
Waylon sighed quietly and rubbed his eyebrows in disappointment.
He was still thinking why Alena refused him instead of giving in to his request.
Alena returned to her bedroom and ran directly to the bathroom. She looked up at herself in the mirror. Her white face was turned red. It was because of the embarrassment after being humiliated with Waylon's request.
'Waylon, how can you...' Alena told herself while staring at the mirror.
Alena didn't stay in the bathroom for long. Her phone rang and vibrated on the sofa.
She ran over and realized that it was Darcy's text message. "Alena, where are you now?"
Alena stopped moving. She felt sorry for herself as she was not able to convince Waylon to let Darcy stay at their home. She touched the screen of her phone but didn't know what to say yet.
Darcy couldn't wait for a reply. She probably was a little anxious. Darcy made a call to Alena apparently.
Seeing Darcy's name flashed on the screen, Alena pursed her lips. She knew what Darcy wanted to say, but Alena felt embarrassed as she could not do anything for her.
The phone rang again, and she had no choice but to connect to the call.
Alena heard Darcy on the other line, and she immediately asked, "Alena, what's going on? You are my last protection. I don't really know where to go now. Please let me know."
Alena knew Darcy for so many years. It was the first time she heard Darcy asking and begging for her help. Alena was really unwilling to refuse Darcy of the help that she needed.
She wanted to comfort Darcy, but Waylon would not let her go anyway. Even if she would let Darcy move in to the house secretly, it would still come to the knowledge of Waylon. Alena was afraid to disappoint Waylon more just because eof letting Darcy move in in secret.
After pondering for a moment, Alena said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Darcy, Waylon disagreed, so you cannot move in here for the time being."
Alena really felt sorry, so her voice gradually lowered, and her left hand hanging down to her side unconsciously squeezed her dress tightly.
If anything, bad would happen to her good friend, Alena could only blame herself because she was not able to help Darcy. Alena was really sad.
Alena gritted her teeth and said, "How about this, I will find a new house for you, and I will stay with you. Don't go back to the apartment for the time being. Wait until I find a new house where we can be together. Then we will pick up your stuff."
Darcy was unable to say anything. She didn't expect Alena to say such a thing. In reality all that Darcy wanted was to live in Gray's villa, not to live outside with Alena. Nevertheless, Darcy was surprised with such offer.
Her face darkened a bit, Darcy suppressed the anger in her heart. She continued to play the role of a sister. She said, "How do you do that? No one knows what the pervert could do. If you live with me, and something might happen to both of us, I will carry that forever in my conscience. I don't want that to happen."
Darcy was afraid that Alena would really want to move out with her. She quickly told Alena, "It is not safe for the two us to live together. Now the society is so chaotic. Anyone would easily do nasty things on us because we are weak. However, if we live in Gray's villa, we would be able to get the protection we deserved. Waylon would be able to give us proper security."
What Darcy said was reasonable, and Alena dispelled her idea of living outside the Villa with Darcy.
Alena also realized that it would really be so dangerous for both of them to live outside the Villa. That idea was not really helpful at all as they might put themselves together in danger.
The incident in the bar seconded her idea that to live outside the Villa is not helpful at all. Alena had completely lost her affection for that greasy middle-aged man who attacked both of them in Darcy's residence.
Another idea came in to the mind of Alena. She thought about it and persuaded Darcy to take actions on her problem herself. "Darcy, why don't you go back and live with your parents? They can also take care of you."
"No!" Darcy refused without even thinking about it. Darcy realized that her reaction was a bit too late when she said her words. She hurriedly said to herself, "My parents are already old and can't stand this kind of thing. I am afraid I might also put their lives in danger. Anyway, I..." Darcy started to stutter. Darcy continued, "Alena, you are my best friend. The only person I can trust is you. Please help me."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but..." Alena bit her lower lip. She was very embarrassed.
Alena couldn't sit idly while Darcy was in danger. Just thinking of Waylon's conditions made her feel chilly all over.
"Alena..." Darcy shouted her name hoarsely. "If you can't help me, I will really be dead this time."
Darcy's words made Alena's heart tight, as if an invisible big hand was holding her heart tightly.
She immediately said, "Don't worry. I will definitely find a way."
It was unbearable for Alena to watch Darcy in danger. It was Darcy who gave her a way out when she was the most helpless and hesitant. No matter what angle she came from, she would not be able to stand by idly.
