Chapter 227
Alena Wright approached Waylon Gray and Darcy Harrington. She took a few deep breaths to control her emotions.
Alena asked in a deep voice, "Waylon, what is going on here?"
Although Alena told herself not to think about it multiple times, when she saw them together, she really couldn't stop herself.
When Alena spoke, she choked a little.
Waylon felt that Alena was being unreasonable, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Am I bothering you?" Alena shook her head dejectedly, "I do not want to make this a big deal, but what are you hiding from me?"
Waylon had never seen Alena so hysterical, and at that moment, his brows furrowed.
The kind of woman he liked was someone who is elegant. Someone who is calm all the time. She should not be like how Alena is now, she was simply being an unrefined mouse.
"Enough!" He snorted coldly, not knowing how ambiguous Darcy's behavior was.
Waylon treated Alena indifferently all the time and she couldn't stand it anymore. She stretched out her hand and pointed tremblingly at Darcy, "Well, since he doesn't say anything, then you tell me. What is your relationship with him?"
Darcy pretended that she did not understand. She convincingly acted foolish.
She immediately put on an innocent look and blinked, "There is nothing going on between us, Alena. What's the matter with you?"
Darcy tried to reach out and hold Alena's hand as she spoke but Alena reflexively pushed her away, "Don't touch me."
Alena obviously didn't use much effort, but Darcy fell backward, as if she was pushed.
"What are you doing?" Waylon immediately held Darcy's back and stared at Alena angrily.
Alena was surprised, 'What's wrong with this woman? Why is she becoming more and more unreasonable?'
But Waylon's behavior was like a thorn in Alena's heart. Every time she moved, she felt pain.
"You want to tell me something, right?" Alena trembled with anger. She looked at Darcy with sadness and pain in her eyes.
Even if Darcy was dying to laugh, she desperately restrained herself. She leaned on Waylon and continued to play the damsel in distress.
Darcy pretended to worry that Alena misunderstood and said: "There is really nothing going on between us, Alena. Do you understand?"
What Darcy said was in sharp contrast with her actions at the moment.
Alena was so angry that she sneered, "You still deny it even after everything I saw. Are you planning to deny your relationship until I see you both lying in bed?"
"Enough." This time the one who spoke was Waylon. He squinted dangerously and his dark eyes were stained with anger. He stared at Alena and gritted his teeth, "Is that why you're here?"
"It is." Alena met his gaze, her chest was constantly rising and falling. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing from her eyes.
As soon as she cried, Waylon's heart softened, but the conflict had already escalated that it was difficult to end it abruptly.
Darcy seemed to read his thoughts and immediately explained, "Alena, you really have misunderstood us. I really have nothing to do with Waylon."
Darcy's indifference triggered Alena's feelings. After finally being able to calm down, she instantly fumed with anger.
Alena sneered, her tone full of sarcasm, "You have been so intimate and yet you still say it's nothing?"
"I..." Darcy was speechless. She deliberately looked at Waylon's face, and said at a loss, "Did I say something wrong?"
Darcy looked cautious in contrast with the aggressive of Alena but Waylon was even more fierce.
"You did nothing wrong." Waylon helped Darcy to stand up. Darcy met Alena's gaze again and said, "I think you really need to relax."
Waylon positioned Darcy behind him. He stood in front of her like a bodyguard.
If Waylon really wanted to be with Darcy, then Alena was expected. But he liked Alena. He just felt that he failed Darcy when broke his promise five years ago.
Waylon felt sorry for Darcy and he owed her a lot. He didn't want her to suffer this kind of injustice because of him again.
"Darcy saved me twice. Not only are you being ungrateful, but you are saying something inexplicable here. Alena, look at what you have become." Waylon coldly glanced at Alena and pulled Darcy away.
Alena stood there in shock. Waylon's last words stayed in her mind.
'What has she become?' Alena thought to herself.
Alena returned to her bedroom in despair. Her heightened emotions gradually calmed down, and she realized that she was indeed a bit too much.
Alena realized that if there was really nothing going on between the two, what she said was really embarrassing.
She went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, took a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face.
Once the cold water touched her skin, Alena felt relaxed again.
She looked up at herself in the mirror with a blank face.
She didn't know what was wrong with herself. Both Waylon and Darcy were once the closest people to her, but now, she couldn't trust them anymore. In the past, she would have never imagined that this day would come.
Is it because she is getting more and more unable to tolerate people?
While thinking about it, Alena suddenly remembered what Waylon said.
Waylon said Darcy saved him twice. She wondered, 'When did that happen? Could it be that something happened that I didn't know?'
Back in Darcy's room, Waylon took her outside.
The villa was very large and there were many empty rooms. But Darcy was in poor health and she should not be walking around too much.
Instead, Waylon took her to the garden to rest. The architectural pattern of the glass house looked dazzling outside.
When he came back with a fruit, Darcy stood awkwardly by the chair. She looked like she didn't know what to do.
He said, "Why don't you sit down and rest?"
Darcy looked up at him, her eyes were wet with tears, "Waylon, Alena seems to have misunderstood us. I should leave, so it will not affect your relationship with her."
Darcy's words surprised Waylon.
Darcy had always put him first and in return, she suffered a lot of injustices.
He broke his promise five years ago and ruined their relationship, but Darcy never blamed him from the start.
In comparison, what Alena accused him was too much.
His face darkened and he interrupted her lightly, "No, she is making up issues. You should just ignore her."
"But..." Darcy argued.
"Don't think about it. Here, eat some fruit." Waylon assured her.
