His Dangerous Love

Chapter 9 How Was Your Night Yesterday

Chapter 9 How Was Your Night Yesterday

A small tube of anti-inflammatory ointment was lying on the servant's hand. When Elianna saw the indication and administration, her ears turned red. And the heat did not dissipate until she arrived in the memorial hall.

Even though it was a memorial ceremony at home, it was grand. Among the yellow and white bouquets were the photos of Jefferson's parents.

The Larsen family had never disclosed the cause of their death. And it was rumored that they had been killed in a riot abroad.

As soon as Elianna stood still, she met Joyce’s angry eyes and saw her frown in dissatisfaction. But she could not scold Elianna in front of so many people, so she turned her head away after giving a hard look.

Standing next to Elianna, Asher scolded her in a low voice, "Are you embarrassing me on purpose? Other people have all arrived early. Kenley has been busy working with my mom for an entire morning. But you were sleeping late in the bedroom. Why are you so lazy and rude?"

Kenley was walking through the crowd with a tray and serving coffee to the elders.

Seeing this, Elianna mocked, "She is indeed capable. She works day and night. I can't hold a candle to her."

"If you say such words again, I will..."

Asher suddenly fell silent because Brice and Jefferson came. Jefferson looked normal as if he had not been injured at all.

The crowd automatically separated to make way for them, so Elianna followed suit. When Jefferson passed by, she scented the smell of smoke mixed with grass on his body, and her heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, he stood still. Brice walking in front also stopped his steps and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Elianna’s hair stood on end. If Jefferson said anything outrageous now, she would have a heart attack on the spot.

Jefferson's gaze flicked past Elianna and landed on Asher when he said, "Asher."

When facing Jefferson, Asher didn't show any arrogance but tremblingly replied, "Jeff."

Jefferson laughed, "How was your night yesterday?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Asher.

"Last night, I..."

He had had sex with Kenley all night. Elianna had been next door, so the excitement had intoxicated him.

Why had Jefferson brought this up? He had not expected Jefferson to care about his affairs. But his actions could not be analyzed according to common sense.

Asher's mind was a mess, and Kenley also felt scared. So, their faces were both gloomy.

When Asher was about to pass out, Jefferson tapped his neck with his finger and leisurely said, "It seems you had a passionate night."

Asher's face instantly turned pale when he covered his neck.

Kenley had deliberately left a live bite in his neck to irritate Elianna and had never unexpected Jefferson to notice it. She was shaky but soon realized that no one would know it was her that had left the love bite as long as she did not admit it.

Sure enough, everyone turned to look at Elianna. And Joyce wished she could eat Elianna alive.

Elianna became a scapegoat, so she glared at Jefferson's figure who was leaving leisurely. She was so angry that she almost had a blackout.

-

The memorial ceremony began at a quarter past nine.

After a lengthy beginning speech, the members of the Larsen family came forward to mourn one by one.

Everyone else looked heartbroken and lamented the couple who had died young, but Jefferson had a playful smile on his lips, looking like an outsider.

Kenley wanted to impress others, so she cried loudly after putting down the flowers.

She had been busy preparing for the ceremony this morning, so many people had praised her.

Seeing her crying so badly, a person sighed, "Kenley is pure and kind."

Kenley wiped her tears and said with a sad look, "I grew up in the Larsen family, so I should do all I can."

Hearing this, Joyce glanced at Elianna and made insinuations, saying, "Kenley is thoughtful and caring. She came here early in the morning to help me make preparations. The kids who grew up in the Larsen family are more sensible and polite."

Kenley was happy to hear this. She thought she had hogged the limelight today, so she cried harder.

Suddenly, a deep and seductive voice asked, "Do you feel sad for them?"

Kenley abruptly looked up and saw Jefferson looking at her with a smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously swallowed hard, thinking her kindness and filial piety might have moved him and made him appreciate her.

Therefore, she hurriedly nodded and pitifully said, "Yes! Harper and Erika were good people. But they passed away at such a young age. I didn't even get to see them for the last time. So, I felt sad."

"Really?" Jefferson drawled.

When he looked at her face, she blushed.

"How about I send you to accompany them?"

"What?"

Kenley didn't understand what he meant.

Jefferson’s smile was charming, but his voice was colder than ice when he said, "If you miss them so much, you should go to accompany them. Do you want a homicide or a suicide?"

Kenley's face turned pale. She hurriedly stepped back and said, "I...I..."

Brice couldn't help snapping, "Jefferson!"

Jefferson cynically shrugged, "I’m just kidding."

Then, he looked around and continued, "But if any people miss them so badly for real, I won't mind sending them to accompany my parents."

The dull memorial hall became quieter because of his words. And even the sobs became less. Everyone feared he would kill them for real if he was unhappy.

Kenley hid at the end of the crowd in frustration, not daring to make a show anymore.

The next person to mourn was Elianna. She put the flowers on the table and knelt on the cushion.

Looking at her posture, Jefferson inappropriately thought of the scene where he had held her waist with both hands. She had cried much more sincerely than these people did today.

Elianna didn't know what he was thinking and was paying attention to the photos on the altar.

They were different from her imagination. Jefferson's parents looked refined. His father wore a pair of glasses and looked like a scholar. So, she wondered how their son had grown up into such a person.

-

Jefferson answered a call during the ceremony and left. Although Brice was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

After he left, the ceremony was speeded up, and everyone was going through the motions. They held the ceremony because they wanted to impress Jefferson. Since he had left, they naturally muddled through it.

After the ceremony, Joyce asked Elianna to go to the Plum Compound.

When Elianna entered the door, Joyce was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, and Kenley was massaging her shoulders behind her while muttering, "Joyce, you must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders."

"I don’t mind being tired. But I lost face today!"

Joyce was so angry that her voice became extremely sharp.

"So many elders of the Larsen family were present! But Elianna arrived even later than me. Moreover, she knew today’s ceremony was a serious occasion, but she seduced Asher last light and left a bite on his neck. Jefferson noticed it in the memorial hall. Fortunately, he didn't get angry. Otherwise, we would have all gotten in trouble because of her!"

Kenley continued to shift blame to Elianna without hesitation, saying, "It is because she likes Asher too much. Two days ago, she ran away from home and made him very anxious because he was not enthusiastic enough."

"What? How dare she..."

Elianna suddenly interrupted, "Mom."
