Chapter 228
Waylon Gray reached out the fruit in front of Darcy Harrington. He didn't notice her face lit up with triumph.
While she enjoyed his attention, Darcy couldn't stop herself from smiling victoriously.
She thought, 'Looks like if I continue this, I will be able to win Waylon over little by little.'
By the end of the night, Alena Wright had gradually recovered her sanity, and she was not as impulsive as she was earlier.
After thinking about it for a while, she decided to go and find Darcy.
Regardless of whether the two of them are related, she had to ask her in person.
If it turned out that she was wrong, then she will just apologize for what she said.
But if her suspicion was right...
Alena immediately stopped herself from thinking about this.
There were no ifs, definitely not.
She stood in front of Darcy's door, reached out and knocked, "Darcy, are you inside? I have something to say to you."
During this time, Darcy was talking on the phone with Yves Kelly. When she heard Alena's voice, she immediately told him, "Alena is here, I have to go."
After she hung up the phone, she sorted out her expression, walked over casually and opened the door.
"Alena, you are here." Darcy pasted a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't care about her accusations in the afternoon.
Her attitude made Alena a little bit guilty. Alena felt bad as if she had done something unforgivable to Darcy.
Earlier on the phone, Darcy had already told Yves what happened. She originally wanted him to witness how she'll ridicule Alena, but he said that it is not the right time for her to be in bad terms with Alena given her current situation. Darcy should continue pretending to be a good person.
When she remembered their conversation, Darcy's smile widens. She intimately held Alena's arm and lead her in, "If you have something to say, we should talk inside."
Alena was forced to sit down on the sofa. She watched Darcy as she moved around and poured tea for her. She noticed Darcy's feet didn't seem well, she walked awkwardly.
She suddenly felt guiltier. She held tighter to the cup of tea in her hand, and said after awhile, "Darcy, I thought you are angry with me."
After all, what she said that afternoon was so unpleasant, and if it as her, she would be angry.
However, Darcy smiled indifferently, "Why? We are good friends. I knew you didn't mean it."
When she heard this, Alena was moved and blamed herself more. She pursed her lips and gathered courage to look up at Darcy, "Well, I have something to ask you, and I hope I can answer it honestly."
"What's the matter? Why do you look baffled?" Darcy smiled, but her heart was indifferent.
She already knew what Alena wanted to ask so she grew impatient with anticipation.
Sure enough, Alena asked straight away, "What happened between you and Waylon? Why did he say that you saved him twice?"
After thinking about it, Alena concluded that this was the key to the whole misunderstanding.
She must have missed something, that's why the conflict between her and Waylon was getting worse.
Darcy heard what Waylon said earlier. She thought that if she continues to hide it, there would be consequences once it's exposed. So, she simply nodded and admitted, "Yes, I saved Waylon twice. That is why he treats me well."
"What happened?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything." Darcy sat down beside her, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Remember that time when Waylon did not come home for a while? He was actually not on a business trip abroad. He was injured. I happened to save him by coincidence and have been by his side to take care of him."
"Waylon was injured?" Alena's eyes widened with surprise. She didn't know this. No one told her.
"How can you not tell me that he was injured?" Alena frowned, her face tight.
"Wait, let me explain!" she felt Alena's displeased stare, Darcy calmly pretended to be embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, actually..."
"Actually what?" Alena felt a little impatient. She desperately wanted to know what happened, and why Waylon got hurt. She could not understand why no one told her about this.
After Alena urged her to tell her what happened, Darcy reluctantly said, "Actually, Waylon didn't let me tell you. When you called, he told me to tell you that he went abroad."
"What?" Alena shook her head in disbelief, "Waylon was injured. Either one of you should have told me. Why would he hide it from me?"
Darcy did not answer her question, but went on to say, "In fact, when you called, Waylon was next to me. He signaled me to tell you that he had gone abroad so you would not know."
Alena suddenly dropped the cup in her hand. The cup hit the soft carpet and made a dull sound. The tea scattered on the ground, quickly dampening everything around it.
Alena felt the chills from the soles of her feet to her heart.
"Waylon... was next to you?" She repeated each word. It felt as if a knife was stuck in her heart.
"That's right." Darcy still felt that the knife was not deep enough, so she plunged it in deeper, "After that, I have always wanted to tell you, but Waylon would never let me speak to you. I am so sorry, Alena."
She pretended to apologize, but her eyebrows were all suppressed and proud.
"He told you to hide it, and he didn't want to tell me." Alena answered, with a cold smile on her face.
Darcy was not sure what Alena would do next. She remembered what Yves told her, so she said: "The reason why Waylon suddenly changed his attitude towards me is probably because I saved him. Well, it's like another way of repaying kindness."
"Is that so?" Alena didn't believe what she said. Her mind instantly returned to five years ago.
She had also rescued Waylon once. She was desperate enough to give herself to Waylon.
However, in the end, he left without saying goodbye.
They have been married for three years. Alena turned a blind eye and was full of disgust.
'The both saved Waylon. If he can treat Darcy so well, why should he be so cruel to her?' Alena continued to wonder.
