Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

Looking at Henry’s serious look, the girl smiled softly. Why did adults always like to take what they hear so seriously?

“It’s just a joke.”

She said so, but the smile on her lips was not unintentional. Henry didn’t think what she said just now was funny.

“I’m really kidding. I’m afraid of pain.”

How could a girl who was so afraid of pain be cruel to herself?

In this world, everyone could be cruel to her. So, she should be better to herself.

Hearing what she said, Henry’s heart sank. He knew what she felt like when she said it was painful.

He was the one who gave the girl that kind of pain.

He was a doctor. But he did that kind of thing against the doctor’s promises. In this life, he owed her.

“Danae, if you want to get back that pain in the future, you can call me at any time.”

“That’s fine.”

Danae lowered her eyes and looked at her fingers. When she curved, she would still have some uncomfortable feelings. How could she deserve to get back?

If she wanted to took it out, she should not listen to Henry, but someone else.

“Your hand is used to save lives. I can’t do that.”

She slowly got up from her sea. She was tired. She didn’t sleep well last night, and now she just wanted to go back to the room and had some sleep.

But thought of what, she looked back to Henry and asked：

“By the way, the last time I met Anne in the college. Was she… also a student?”

It was the first time that Henry heard Danae asked about other people.

“She is two years older than you and is about to graduate.”

“But she is pregnant.”

Henry stunned. He looked at the girl standing on the stairs. His eyes were well versed. Danae should not have known it.

“Did She tell you?”

She shook her head. But it did Anne tell her. Otherwise Anne would not have said that sentence on the phone in front of her.

Danae always felt that she did it on purpose.

“She told me that I was very lucky.”

This sentence had not been fully understood so far.

She was just an adopted orphan. How could she be luckier than the daughter from the famous family.

Henry darkened his eyes. He said nothing and left Macaulay family.

… …

The engagement party was in three days.

Danae still didn’t know what the point was when he took her back.

If Dane couldn’t see Raymond, she would stay in her room and read books when she was bored. Occasionally she could receive a phone call from Cyril.

It was nothing more than asking her if there was anything she wanted or needed to prepare.

The engagement banquet was not a wedding. What did they need to prepare?

“In fact, if you don’t want to come to my family after your engagement, you still can stay in Macaulay family…”

Cyril wanted to see Danae at any time. But if according to the normal relationship, they were unmarried and still didn’t have to live together.

He could not treat her as a servant just because Danae was adopted. He still respected her choice.

“Just do what I said before.”

She interrupted Cyril and did not want to continue to struggle on this issue.

Besides, who could imagine what would happen if she continued to live here?

Cyril’s family was quite good. Although she did not sleep well for those nights, it was still better than facing the man every night.

When Raymond came back, Danae was still standing by the phone talking about something. When he came back, her faint smile gradually dispersed.

“My uncle is back…”

The girl hung up the phone without any hesitation.

On the other side of the phone, Cyril felt a little sudden.

However, he was afraid of being disturbed and did not dial it again.

… …

“Uncle.”

She called him and saw the man sitting on the soft leather sofa, pulling off the tie tied to his neck, as if he were tired and his narrow eyes narrowed.

Dane didn’t want to disturb him anymore. She wanted to go upstairs and return to her room.

When the sound of the home slipper stepping on the stairs came, he moved his lips and spilled two words－

“Come here.”

As soon as the girl stopped, she turned her head and looked at the speaker.

Sink the brightness in her eyes, she turned back to the living room and walk to him.

“Is there anything wrong?”

The girl standing in front of her did not look at him, but just lowered her head and looked casually at her Winnie the Pooh slippers.

After that day, she avoided him. She just said hello politely and went back to her room.

He had never seen her so clever before.

“Sit down.”

He doesn’t like talking to people with his head tilted back, she knew.

Danae didn’t say anything. She sat down less than half a meter away from him. The next moment, when the temperature of his body tilted, her eyes quivered and she stood up and refused to approach him.

However, the next second her wrist was buckled by him, her center of gravity was out of balance, her body was just sitting on his leg, and her waist was held by someone. She looked up and bumped into the man’s dark pupil.

“Still angry?”

The increasingly close male atmosphere, with invisible bewitch, she turned her head, did not look, and tried not to hear his voice.

However, it was useless.

The warm breath sprayed on her neck. She bit her lips and shook her head：

“No.”

She was not angry and did not dare to be angry.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with being held by him like this before, but she also thought there was something right.

But now, she didn’t want him to be so close.

After all－

Three days later, it would be her engagement party.

She would soon be Cyril’s fiancée, and what was the difference between her current behavior and those whores whom everyone scolds.

“Since you are not angry, then smile.”

“I don’t want to smile.”

Why did she have to smile inexplicably?

There was nothing to be happy about.

Raymond was not angry either. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the thorn－covered girl in his arms. He thought that this little temper was getting more and more serious.

“Three days later…”

Danae’s heart sank. He finally mentioned the engagement banquet three days later. She thought he would remain silent all the time.

Silent, as if it would not happen.

“Have you decided what gift to ask me for your birthday?”

No, he’s not talking about the engagement party. He’s talking about her birthday.

Danae realized that the day was not only an engagement banquet, but also her birthday.

Eighteen years old.

“You have already given me a present.”

“It was an engagement present.”

With a smile in his eyes, the man kissed the girl’s brow and her thin lips were cool－

“Think clearly about what you want from me.”

As long as he had it, he would give her everything.

Danae’s heart was self－mockery. What she wanted from Raymond, the price was to double and pay more.

She shook her head. The answer was still the same.

“No.”

The only thing she wanted before, now he also gave it to her.

Freedom. Three days later, she would no longer be Macaulay families.

“Hmm?”

He didn’t like the answer, with a slight tone and a few wisps of danger.

Danae did not think so, still shook her head.

No, she did not want anything and would never ask him for it.

Over the years, he had given her too many gifts.

But at the end of the day, she couldn’t take anything away and it’s not what she wanted.

However, she saw that the man’s eyes were well versed in color, and his obsidian－like pupils were deep. His beautiful and long fingers reminded the girl’s lower jaw and looked at the cold and cheerless but dusty face.

Well, his girl, of course, was different.

The lip angle raised a good－looking radian, and the hoarse voice came with a profound meaning that Danae did not understand－

“That’s the same as in previous years.”

She didn’t ask, so she accepted what he gave.

Danae slightly jaw head, but did not notice, when she nodded in agreement, Raymond thin lips between the smile, wanton feminine.

Danae, you will like that gift.

And, you would never forget.
