Stella thought for a moment before saying, “But those people are not stupid. They should have been able to see that this was a trap from the moment doyen appeared.”

Clarence flicked her forehead with his finger and said, “Are you still dwelling on this matter?”

“No. I just think that it is a little risky. Besides this, Elaine… What if the situation loses control and something happens to her?” she said.

“It is risky. But being the head of the James family, he had to take risks.”

She moved her lips but did not know what to say.

He had a point. Even Elaine’s great-grandfather and her father worked together to set up this trap, so it meant that they were sure of her safety.

After a while, he let go of her, leaned on the railing behind him and said lightly, “Whether it was because Darnell saved their lives at a critical moment and made them feel thankful, or because they saw with their own eyes how Darnell forced Caesar step by step to the point where there was no way back, they would not act rashly anymore in the future. At least, no one in the James family would have any more objections towards Darnell in a short time.”

She leaned next to him, gently pursing her lips.

Darnell’s move was truly brilliant. At first, he made those people in the James family think he saved their lives. And when they realized that something was wrong, they saw how he dealt with Caesar so that even if they had complaints, they could only stay silent.

After a while, she smiled, “Now I know how those rumors about Darnell came.”

Darnell could be really ruthless and calculating, so it was normal for the others to fear him.

She looked at him with a worried look. “Well, since the things here in Riverside City were settled for now, can we still get our child back to City N?”

Previously, they thought that the situation was complicated and Riverside City was not safe to stay after doyen’s death, so Clarence decided to get the medical team to City N.

But now…

Darnell probably would not agree that they took his medical team away.

He stroked her head and said, “Yes.”

Her eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?” He slowly added, “Didn’t I tell you that it is a wedding gift?”

“Thank you!”

He lowered his head to approach closer to her. “You know what…”

She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head to kiss him.

This time, she did not back off after a soft kiss but closed her eyes and slowly explored him with the tip of her tongue like he usually did.

His gaze was getting intense.copy right hot novel pub
