You Are My One and Only

Chapter 215

Darcie was stunned for a moment when she heard these words. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Tricia, are you two all right?"

Patricia glanced at the woman standing not far away. She kept staring at the woman with beautiful eyes and replied to Darcie, "I'm fine. They just want money. I can leave after I pay them off. Sorry for troubling you, Darcie."

It was bad enough that my daughter was sick, yet this happened again now.

Instantly, a great sense of guilt crept into Patricia's heart, and she started to blame herself in her heart. It's all my fault. I am naive. Even when I set out with good intentions, I usually end up making a mess of things. But of course, I will not ask Darcie for extra pennies besides the half a million.

"Tricia, it's all my fault. It's because you wanted to help me that you ended up in this situation. I'll raise that money at once. Don't be afraid. I'll transfer the money soon," Darcie said.

However, Darcie didn't know that the half a million was nowhere near the actual loan, and Patricia still needed another 1.73 million to settle the payment. Well, half a million is better than nothing. I'm fine as long as Sylvie is safe and I can accompany her. As for the matters later, I'll think about them again when the time comes.

Darcie's face was pinched with anxiety after she hung up, for she had her hands tied whenever she thought of Patricia and Sylvie's current situation. The house—I'll just sign the contract tomorrow. I'll sell it off even if the buyer asks for a lower selling price.

While holding her phone, she tried to comb through her brain for the potential candidates she could borrow money from. However, she later realized that no one would lend her any money. As for herself, she only had 2,000 with her, which was far from half a million. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. At once, she dialed Percy's number.

"Hello."

The call went through, and a man's drawling voice came from the phone. "Miss me?"

When Darcie heard the man's voice, she would recall his ruffian character and how he was anything but gentle on the bed.

Pursing her lips, Darcie eventually swallowed her pride and stated her purpose of calling. "Young Master Henderson, can you lend me 600,000? I urgently need the money." Immediately after she'd expressed her request, thoughts seethed into her mind. I'd asked him for his bone marrow before, and now I'm here asking for money again. I seem to be pushing my luck, am I? But that's just my nature. I speak whatever is in my mind, even if I sound shameless in one's ear. After all, embarrassment is when one feels embarrassed.

Giving out a faint smile, Percy then said, "Sure. I'll transfer it to you right away. Don't forget to come over on time tomorrow night."

Darcie's long eyelashes shook at once, and her heart trembled slightly. The skin of her face heated a little as she thought of what would happen tomorrow night. Deep down, she had harbored a different feeling. He actually transfers the money to me without even asking a question. No doubt, this man is the most generous person of all the people I know.

Shortly after, her phone screen flickered a little. She received notifications from the bank, one after the other, stating sums of money had been credited to her bank account. Right after all 600,000 were successfully transferred, Percy texted Darcie again. 'You can let me know, regardless of what happens in the future. I forbid you to shoulder your trouble alone.'

A trace of a smile slipped across her beautiful face as Darcie read the text. This man is making me feel very heartwarming.

Thinking of that, she immediately replied to Percy's text. 'Thank you, Young Master Henderson. I'll definitely return the money to you tomorrow.'

After sending the text, she looked out at the sky. The sky was pitch black, looking like it was going to snow. While adjusting and wrapping her clothes tightly around her body, she couldn't help but think, This work attire of mine really isn't providing me warmth at all.

Since she was busy on the phone, her skin's cold receptors seemed to have sensed the chilly weather outside. As a result, she was feeling so freezing cold now. Darcie quickly headed back toward Everbright, moving her arms to make herself feel warm. As she walked, she transferred the money she'd just received from Percy to Patricia's bank account.

After Darcie had finished transferring the money, she left a voice message. 'Tricia, here's 600,000. See if it's enough for you to pay off the loan.'

Prior to today, the agreed sum of the loan was 550,000. However, they did delay the payment for another month, so Darcie figured that 600,000 should be just right.

After the message was delivered, she stood there and waited, for she wanted to read Patricia's reply before going in and resuming work. Just then, someone approached her and lifted her chin.

"Macie, I've been coming here to support you for three months. So, when will you be able to come home with me?"

That someone was a pretty obese middle-aged man.

Darcie turned her head to see one of her regulars in Everbright, John Leonard. She shifted her chin from his hand and said coldly, "Mr. Leonard, please have some self-respect. I'm only in charge of wine selling, not prostitution."

As she finished saying that, Darcie wriggled her slender waist and went back inside. Meanwhile, John looked at her alluring back silhouette with a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"Bah! Who does she think she is? She's just an unwanted woman with a child. Very well, Macie. I shall see how long you can stay reserved. Sooner or later, I will have s*x with you!"
