His actions seemed casual but he had ulterior motives
He was hoping to see that little girl with the droopy head and sad appearance
He never imed to be a good person
But the pitiful little girl could always stir his soft spot
“Mr. Jareth? What brings you here?” Alva happened to bump into him, walking over with a surprised look on her face
“Ah, um “Jareth’s expression was a bit awkward. He stammered and gathered his courage to ask in a low voice, “Alva, where does Mari stay? Alva looked at him in surprise
Even with a brain, she couldn’t associate the man in front of her with the youngdy
“What do you want to do? Mr. Jareth, Maria is still a minor and rarely sees strangers. You must not scare hert”
Jareth raised his eyebrows. “Alva, you’ve watched me and Thad grow up. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
“You are absolutely good to our young master” Alva gave a thumbs up
“But for women, you can only be this “Alva pointed her thumb down.
Jareth held his forehead
After a lot of persuasion and whitewashing of his yboy image, Alva reluctantly took him to see Mari.
11 wait at the door Say what you want to say quickly it’s not good to be seen by others.”Alva stood at the door, solemnly instructing him. Jareth couldn’t help butugh, “Alva, you’re not a matchmaker, and I’m not a yboy. You don’t need to be so nervous”
Having said that, he strode into the room and closed the door
Alva was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, her eyes wide with anger, “This stinky boy! How dare he mock me?”
As soon as Jareth walked into Mari’s room, he was taken aback
Compared to his sister’s extravagant princess room, Maria’s room seemed too simple. Apart from the basic decoration and furniture of the mansion, there were no decorations it was as empty as a snow cave
Jareth heard some movement in the bedroom, so he slowed down and tiptoed towards the room.
The door was slightly ajar, and he entered silently.
He saw Maria’s slender figure sitting at therge desk, hunched over and seemingly writing something.
Jareth’s eyes deepened a bit, and he quietly walked behind her, craning his n*eck to peek at what she was writing
Suddenly, his heart trembled violently, and his pupils contracted
Maria was seriously drawing on the paper, and the person in the picture was hum
Mari put down her pen, her deer-like eyes bent, and she picked up the drawing to admire
“When do you n to give it to me?”
“Ah!” Maria let out a scream, jumped up from the chair, and tried to cover the drawing but it was toote
Jareth was quick and sly. He directly pulled the drawing from under her thin arm
“Give it back to me Mari’s cheeks flushed. She stood on her toes and reached out to grab it
The man’s tall figure was like an insurmountable mountain for her. In her embarrassment, she directly grabbed his tie with one hand and reached around his waist with the other to snatch the drawing
“Let go, I’m choking”
Jareth could hardly breathe. He had no choice but to bend down, pick Mari up by her thin waist, put her on the table, and relieve a bit of the suffocating pain.
“Give it back to me That’s my drawing” Mari’s clear eyes were filled with stubbornness
The person in the drawing is me. Logically speaking, you’ve infringed on my portrait rights, haven’t you?”
Jareth looked into her eyes, his gaze gradually warming. Aspensation, will you give this drawing to me, Maria?”
Mari’s face turned red with shyness, she grabbed the man’s tie and pulled hard.
Jareth suddenly widened his eyes, his b*dy surging forward, pressing Mari tightly under him.
Thrips were only a hair’s breadth away from merging into one
The Ingering k*sses fromst night resurfaced, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
“Eh ticklish”
Mara quickly turned fier face away, the man’s breath with a hint of tobo smell made her feel ticklish
Her heart was poufiding
Jareth felt a bit dizzy The gris b*dy was so soft, softer than his mattress
It made him reluctant to leave.
Jareth used all his strength to suppress the wildfire in his b*dy, straightened his waist, and stood upright
His eyes were moist, and his breathing became heavy
Although Mari was of age, she was born small and thin Curled up on the table, she looked pitiful.
She buried half of her face between her knees and reached out to the man, “Givet back to me”
1 saved your teddy bearst night. As a thank you gift, can’t you even give me a drawing?”
Jareth’s sold arm rested on the edge of the table, and he leaned slightly towards her, Treally like this drawing, will you give it to me?”
Tve already prepared a gift for you “Maria’s voice was timid, her toes curled up
“Where is Jareth’s eyes it up
Ten minutester, Jareth returned to his car
faction
He was holding a cake box in his left hand and the rolled up portrait in his right hand. The corners of his l*ps kept rising, his heart was filed with unprecedented satisfac Actually, as early as at Hamition’s birthday party, when he saw the painting that Maria gave to her grandfather, he secretly wished that he could also get such a painting A unique painting created just for him.
Unexpectedly, he really got
The joy and the sense of happiness were indescribable.
Jareth happily put away the panting, and couldn’t wait to open the cake box
Inside was a in, even somewhat ugly, blueberry mousse cake
He picked up a piece of cream with his fingertip and put it in his mouth, sucking on his finger
Jareth frowned and chewed
The taste was a bit sout
Late at night, Evadne was applying a face mask, sitting in front of theputer in her study room, ying games without rest
Actually, she was tired long ago, but tonight Jason went out to track Kevin at hermand and hadn’te back yet. She was worried, so she yed games to stay awake while waiting for his news
The game’s admin had sent her emails, more than once, inviting the internationally renowned female yer to participate in professional tournaments. But she had always refused. She yed video games for fun, not for fame or fortune. Did she look like she needed the money?
A messagepopped up. Avery had logged in.
Fancy a game, Rose?]
[Sure Cifero Send me an invite]
Avery connected with her in voice chat, his melodic voice resonating in her study.
Good evening. Miss Ciferok”
“Good evening. Mr. Rose”
“It seems you have a strong resilience. Ada’s issue doesn’t seem to affect you much.” Avery chuckled softly
“Of course ve trained in some special technique”:
“What does that mean?”
“The outside world cant affect me. The only thing Tcare is my integrity”
Avery couldn’t help butugh. After a pause, he asked, “Can help with Ada’s situation?”
“No need. This is a dispute between me and the Abernathy Group. Even though it’s not a big issue, I cant involve the Chambers Group. Thank you for your kindness.”Evadne declined politely.
Im not representing the Chambers Group I just want to help you as an individual” Avery’s voice was soft and filled with concern.
Evadne raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you trust my abilities? Think I cant handle it alone?”
“No.”Avery
let out a helplessugh, just don’t want you to work too hard. Save some time to y games with me. You haven’t logged in for several days.”
Evadne was taken aback, blinking her eyes.
Could be he had been waiting for her online these days?
On, indeed. He just returned from Helgen, idle and friendless. No wonder he was always clinging to her
That was kind of pathetic
At that moment, there was a knock at the door Jason’s voice came through.
“Miss Evadne! I’m back!”
Finally, she had been expecting him. She hastily said goodbye to Avery, “Mr. Avery, I have something urgent to deal with Goodnight!”
Without waiting for his response, she exited the voice chat
On the other end.
Avery looked at the chat interface, only his icon was left. He blinked his long eyshes, whispering softly to himself
“Good night, Evadne”-
Then, his eyes darkened as he clicked his mouse twice.
Recing the game interface on the screen were detailed backgrounds of Jason and his two brothers from the Dempsey family
