Chapter 213
When he saw Darcy squatting down next to him and feeding him carefully, there was a warm current in Waylon's chest. Although he had no love for Darcy anymore, this person gave him a peace of mind.
This woman saved Waylon twice, and he will surely ensure her life is worry-free.
Alena had a very relaxed and happy day. She perfectly solved the problem on the Eton Group's side, and she was relaxed.
When it was time to get off work, she drove back to the villa alone.
Rhea was preparing dinner, and she immediately went out to greet her when she heard the movement: "Madam, you are back."
Alena changed her shoes at the door and asked as she walked in, "Is Waylon back?"
Rhea shook her head: "Mr. Gray hasn't returned yet, and Miss Harrington isn't here either."
Alena paused, what happened today? Why are neither of them here?
Doubts flashed, and she immediately thought that there might be something in the company, so it was delayed.
Then until dinner time, there was still no movement at the door of the villa, not only Waylon did not return, even Darcy, who never missed dinner, did not return.
Alena waited for a while at the table alone, but never waited for them.
She frowned, took out her mobile phone and prepared to call Waylon and hesitated. The two people broke up unhappily. If she took the initiative to call, would she seem to be eager to flatter him?
The little woman's self-esteem was at work, Alena curled her lips and dialed Darcy's phone.
The phone was connected quickly, and Darcy's faint voice came from the other end: "Alena, what's the matter?"
She was not in a good mood just after eating.
Alena paused, always feeling that Darcy's tone was a little wrong, but she didn't think about other places. She asked: "Darcy, I want to ask, why haven't you come back today?"
"I was eating out with my colleagues, so I won't go back." Darcy casually found an excuse and added: "Yes, I'm going to my parents' house these days, so I won't go back to the villa."
"Oh, so..." Alena nodded, somewhat entangled whether to ask Waylon's whereabouts.
As if guessing her thoughts, Darcy said quickly: "I'm still eating here, if you have nothing to say, I'll hang up."
A second before she hung up, Alena could not help but blurt out what she cared most: "Wait, do you know where Waylon has gone? Why didn't he come back?"
Still hearing her asking this question, Darcy rolled her eyes, glanced across the closed bedroom door seemingly, and sneered: "You mean Mr. Gray..."
"Yes, do you know where he went?" Alena tried to make her tone sound casual, but her unblinking eyes revealed her nervousness.
Darcy slowly walked to the balcony, leaning on the railing with one hand, looking at the night outside the window, the coldness on her face was set off by the dark night like a ghost: "Mr. Gray went on a business trip abroad."
"Ah? Why didn't he tell me?" Alena was angry and annoyed and went abroad without saying a word."
"It's probably because of the urgency to leave, so he didn't have time to talk to you." Darcy smiled and let out a faint sigh: "I heard that Waylon always goes abroad temporarily because of an emergency project, but I can't let other people know, otherwise it will cause civil turmoil in the company, Alena, you have to keep it secret."
Civil conflict?
After keenly catching these two words, Alena suddenly remembered that Bill had said not long ago that there were some problems in the company recently, so it seems that it is not impossible for Waylon to go abroad.
She reluctantly nodded: "Well, I see."
"I'll hang up." Darcy threw out a word and ended the call very simply and neatly.
At the same time, the door behind her was opened, and Waylon walked out with difficulty: "Who are you talking to?"
Darcy turned her head and smiled slightly: "Saying hello to my parents, lest they come back next time they may think that there's a thief in the house."
Waylon nodded clearly, and then asked: "By the way, have you seen my phone?"
His cell phone is missing?
There was a touch of sarcasm in her eyes, Darcy shook her head innocently: "I didn't see it, why? Is your phone gone?"
In fact, on the way back just now, she threw Waylon's mobile phone away. Since she had to do it, she had to be foolproof and completely eliminate the possibility of Waylon going back.
Because Darcy's acting skills are so good, and Waylon didn't have any defenses against her, he didn't have any doubts, but frowned: "My phone is gone, maybe it was accidentally lost in the alley."
He paused and added: "If you go back and find a way to contact Bill, I still need to deal with the company's affairs."
"Okay, no problem." Darcy promised very readily, but it was not certain whether she would do what he said.
She walked over and took Waylon's arm, seemingly caring and intimate: "If your injury is not healed, don't walk around casually, just tell me if you have anything to do."
The unique fragrance of a woman came next to him, which was completely different from five years ago.
Waylon subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but then thought that five years have passed, and she is different from five years ago. It is a normal thing.
So, he resisted the discomfort in his heart, said nothing, just nodded faintly.
Darcy felt Waylon's connivance to her, which made her ecstatic and a little impatient.
She can't wait any longer, almost wanting to be his woman immediately.
However, reason did not make Darcy act too rashly. She wanted to take it step by step and disintegrate Waylon's line of defense bit by bit.
Alena sat at the dining table alone, watching the food on the table was already cold.
Suddenly, she lost her appetite, got up and walked towards the second floor.
Without Waylon, he always felt that there was something missing in such a huge villa, even if there were servants, he still felt very deserted.
Closing the door, she threw herself in the quilt, her nose was blocked by the quilt, her breathing was a little uncomfortable, and she even had a faint soreness.
"What the hell is this guy doing, no matter how busy he is, he won't even have time to make a phone call?" Alena complained, and tried to call Waylon several times, and then abruptly endured it.
After thinking about it for a while, she found a perfect explanation for herself.
Maybe Waylon was still angry at her, that's why he left without saying a word. Anyway, he was only on a business trip. It would not be too late to explain when he came back.
