A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1419 A Heart Pounding Moment



Chapter 1419 A Heart Pounding Moment

Bonnie looked up towards the sky but the bright blue sunny sky had already disappeared. In turn, it had been replaced by an overwhelming darkness. In the yard, the strong gust of wind rustled the leaves of the trees and even lifted up the dust from the ground. As a result, it wildly spread everywhere.

A storm was certainly coming.

And in just a moment's notice, rain began to fall at the exact second that the two entered the door.

Raindrops the size of beans pattered against the edge of the roof.

Bonnie stood at the door and watched the rain pour down. She couldn't resist reaching out to touch the droplets.

The moment the rain made contact with her hand, she felt an icy cold shiver throughout her body. She then exclaimed, "It hurts!"

That day, the small droplets of water were, for some reason, like hailstones. It felt like they were stones being thrown down from the sky.

Upon seeing the unusual expression on her face, Darren took Bonnie's hand and pulled it back into the house. And in the process, he was also hit by the raindrops.

He felt somewhat confused.

The weather reminded him of the current situation that the company was in right now.

It was unstable, like a city full of ups and downs.

The rain quickly accumulated and formed puddles on the ground. The water splashed towards them, causing them to get a little wet.

Bonnie seemed to feel the same way as Darren. She looked at the dark clouds and had an ominous expression on her face. No one could tell what was going on in her mind.

For Darren, Bonnie was like a pill that gave never-ending happiness. She was the only thing that brought him any light during the dark times of his life.

The thoughts that troubled his heart disappeared whenever he was with Bonnie. But whenever she fell silent, all of those repressed feelings would come back to him.

Even when it was time for dinner, he could only look at the dishes on the table. His mind was so focused on trying to fix his problems that he couldn't eat a single bite.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, and silently got up from the table and went upstairs.

Bonnie wanted to call out to him, but when she saw how lifeless his posture was, she stopped herself and remained quiet.

'Maybe there's something wrong with him?

Maybe... I should give him some space for now, ' Bonnie thought to herself.

A frown subconsciously made its way onto her face. She looked at Harlan, the one who had brought Darren back. She was confused as to why he would look that miserable, so she asked Harlan, "What happened earlier?"

Harlan didn't want to tell her at first. But when he remembered how happy Darren got whenever he heard Bonnie's name, he decided to tell her the truth. "Something bad happened at the company. A lot of the senior executives want to leave their positions. Understandably, Mr. Xu is extremely worried."

Bonnie simply nodded in return. She had nothing to say so she just continued to eat her meal.

But somehow, she suddenly felt that the food in her bowl had lost its taste.

Upon witnessing her indifferent behavior, Harlan became even more anxious. The only reason he had told Bonnie about what had happened was that he wanted her to comfort Darren.

"Miss Sun, Mr. Xu hasn't had dinner yet,"

Harlan reminded her out of the blue.

Bonnie felt that Harlan was behaving a little odd tonight, so she looked at him with a strange expression on her face.

She thought it seemed pointless for him to tell her that Darren hadn't eaten dinner yet. He should have gone to the maid and asked her to cook for Daren.

Harlan couldn't hold back his worries anymore. He felt like his heart was so heavy at that point. He already knew that Bonnie hadn't had a pleasant day, so how could he ask her for anything?

"Mr. Xu needs to have dinner tonight, but the maid and the others have already gone to bed at this time. Miss Sun, could you—"

Bonnie interrupted him in the middle of his sentence and politely replied, "But he doesn't like my cooking. All he has ever said about the food I make is that it's terrible. I'm afraid that even if I make something for him, he won't give it even the slightest attention."

At the mention of this matter, Bonnie couldn't help but feel agitated. She felt that Darren was so ungrateful because whenever she would cook for him in the past, he would eat the food but he wouldn't even thank her. And to make matters worse, he had always been very picky about her cooking. At that moment, she couldn't help but flare up when she remembered this.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Harlan couldn't help but awkwardly smile. He had no idea that Darren had reacted that way. The only thing that came to his mind was that whenever Darren heard Bonnie's name, he would smile from ear to ear and seem like he had never been happier.

Harlan still believed that Bonnie was the only one who could turn Darren's mood around.

"Miss Sun, pardon me for intervening but I have no idea of the misunderstandings between you and Mr. Xu. But Mr. Xu has been working the whole day. How can he not have dinner? Because of work, he barely ate anything today. If it goes on like this, he's going to get sick sooner or later,"

Harlan pleadingly uttered.

The cold expression on Darren's face popped up inside of Bonnie's mind. He had indeed looked quite a bit more stressed than usual.

Harlan felt that he had done all that he could, so he could only sigh and shake his head at that point. If Bonnie didn't do as he wished, he had no other choice.

When Bonnie finally came back to her senses, Harlan was no longer there. She was left looking at the empty hall and couldn't help but frown. She couldn't help it anymore and decided to force herself to cook for that guy once again. If he dared to pick on the dishes she made this time, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

So, she proceeded to the kitchen to start preparing some food. When she was done, she placed the dishes on the tray and went upstairs. She carefully knocked on the door but didn't get a response. When she opened it and peered inside, she saw Darren sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. It seemed that he hadn't heard her knock because he was peacefully resting.

Bonnie walked over quietly and placed the tray of food on the nearby table. She was just about to turn around and leave but inadvertently saw the dark shadows under Darren's eyes.

Harlan's words suddenly came to her mind. 'Mr. Xu hasn't had enough rest these past few days because of work.'

All of a sudden, Bonnie couldn't bear just leaving him alone. She felt sorry for him, so she walked slowly towards him again.

She stood behind him and gently placed the tip of her fingers on both of his temples. Darren was already awake at this point because he had heard her movements but chose to keep his eyes closed. The moment he felt Bonnie's soft hands rubbing his head, he was pleasantly surprised.

Bonnie carefully massaged Darren's head with just the right amount of pressure, which made him feel completely relaxed. All the stress he felt in his body gradually disappeared.

She lowered her head and stared at Darren's face. His manly features were as sharp as a fine sculpture. Now with his eyes closed, he seemed like a more approachable person than his usual self. For a moment, he seemed like just a simple and kind man.

He looked more handsome and alluring in this state.

Bonnie's heartbeat raced faster than ever. She looked at Darren's face and could only panic, but suddenly, Darren's resting eyes opened. His gaze was so deep that Bonnie felt that her soul was going to be swallowed by his eyes.

Bonnie was shocked and she unconsciously removed her fingers from his temples. However, she overreacted and tripped over herself. In a second, she was about to fall on the floor.

At this moment, a big warm hand reached out to her and stopped her from falling down.

Her body was pulled with a delicate force into a warm embrace. She carefully opened her eyes and found that the handsome tall man in front of her was looking at her with a gentle smile. He then said, "I've only been gone for a couple of days. Did you miss me that much? To the point that you throw yourself into my loving arms?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Bonnie retorted while her cheeks blushed a bright tinge of red like roses. She then quickly pushed Darren away with all of her strength.
