Surviving Divorce Her Miraculous Second Chance - Season 2 Episode 21

I didn’t know how much time had passed when I was gently awakened, as if being pulled back to reality from a distant horizon.

I slowly opened my sleepy eyes, and was startled by the unparalleled handsome face in front of me. I tried to sit up abruptly, but the piercing pain from my wound made me involuntarily groan.

“What’s your hurry?” His voice carried a certain dullness.

I realized we were still in the car, yet the horizon was already nearing sunset. Far off in the distance, a golden sun was setting, casting half the sky in gold.

“What time is it? My God, I have to pick up my daughter!” I said a bit anxiously.

“I’ve already used your phone to send a message to your friend, asking her to pick you up!” He said casually, “Get up! My legs are numb!”

My face turned red, only then did I realize that I had been sleeping in his arms all along, and he surprisingly didn’t move or wake me up.

“How long…how long have I been asleep?” I asked sheepishly, quickly sitting up straight and moving a bit away from him.

“It’s been over two hours,” he commanded, “Come down!”

I hurriedly got off the car from the other side. After I got off, I realized that we had come to the same resort where he had taken me before. However, it seemed that the business here was not very good, as I couldn’t see any other guests.

I quickly took two steps to catch up with him, tilting my head to ask,

“What place is this?”

“What’s wrong?” He glanced at me without any context, asked.

“So beautiful, so peaceful! I really like it, but why can’t I see any other guests here?” I asked him curiously.

He hooked the corner of his lips, didn’t answer me, and leisurely walked in with his hands in his pockets.

I involuntarily curled my lips, tsk! Such arrogance!

But I really did like it here, every corner of the entire park was a sight to behold, so beautiful it felt unreal, as if I was wandering in a fairyland.

He led me to a standalone European–style building, pressed the fingerprint lock, and strode in. I quickly followed him. The interior decoration was quite exquisite and minimalist, luxurious but not cluttered.

He gestured for me to sit on a set of sofas in the living room, then he walked into a room inside. After a short while, he emerged carrying a medicine box.

I looked at him in surprise, “You… you don’t have to, I’m really okay, I’ve already applied medicine at home!”

He looked at me meaningfully, “Were you afraid of me?”

I hugged myself nervously, forcing a laugh, “No… no! Really, it’s not necessary!”

Having a man, especially when we’re alone, apply medicine for me was something my heart wasn’t strong enough to handle yet.

“Come here!” He commanded, pointing to the widest part of the sofa, “Lie down!”

“I, I said no need! I can clean it up myself when I get back later!” I still insisted, thinking to myself, this person is really too much, isn’t he? Does he think he can do whatever he wants?

“I don’t want to say it a second time!” He said, then opened the medicine box and took out a tube of ointment. “In your current state, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t bring myself to say it! What are you afraid of?”

As soon as he said this, my face turned red abruptly, cursing inwardly, isn’t this intentional!

“I’ve already seen what I needed to see, is there any point in you still trying to hide?” He said noncommittally, “Only when you’re foolish enough to hurt yourself all over do you start to care about your image. Isn’t it a bit late?”

He stopped talking and didn’t bother to waste words with me. He strode. over, grabbed me, and placed me on the sofa bed. “If you move again, don’t blame me for dealing with you right here, so you won’t have to make excuses in the future,” he warned.

My head buzzed and my face turned red to the ears. This man, really, he looked so aloof and gentlemanly, so distant, how could he say anything?

I really started to doubt his character, and suddenly at this moment, I wanted to know everything about him very, very much.

Thinking about this, I even scared myself. I really didn’t know him at all, other than knowing he was the chief assistant at Broadray Vision, I knew nothing else.

But what was terrifying was that he seemed to know me like the back of his hand, including every word he had just said, which was completely accurate. He had even seen through me entirely, which was utterly horrifying to contemplate.
