Chapter 1259 Give You A Kiss
“Did you really kill Richard, Jared?” Millie gasped in shock. “Of course. Do you not trust my ability?” Jared smirked.
“I do. I trust everything you say.” Millie leaped with joy. “You’re amazing, Jared! I love you so much…”
She planted a kiss on Jared’s cheek as she spoke, causing him to feel embarrassed.
Cecilia was excited, thinking about not having to worry about Divine Beast Sect attacking Crimson Palace anymore.
“Cecilia, you should show your gratitude to Jared since he helped to solve such a huge problem for Crimson Palace!” Millie said.
“What should I do?”
Cecilia was taken aback by her request.
“Give him a kiss, of course!” Millie chuckled.
Heat flooded Cecilia’s cheeks, turning them pink.
With a sheepish look, Jared hurriedly said, “Since everything is good now, I should take my leave.”
“It’s already so late into the night, Mr. Chance. Why don’t you spend a night here?” Cecilia asked Jared in a soft voice. The color on her cheeks turned pink.
Jared gazed up at the sky. She’s right. It’s already late. He nodded and agreed to leave the next day.
Cecilia personally made dinner for Jared again that night.
Jared noticed the longing on Millie’s and Cecilia’s faces. They didn’t want him to leave.
However, Jared knew he still had a lot of things waiting for him to do, so he had to go.
“Will you really come back after you leave, Jared?” Millie asked looking all sad.
“Of course. I still haven’t discovered the secret in the cave, so I’ll be back. Don’t worry about it,” Jared assured with a smile.
“You’re saying you’ll only come back to investigate the cave’s secret?”
Cecilia stared at Jared with a soft gaze.
Jared immediately buried his head in his plate and stuffed his mouth with food when he caught the tenderness on Cecilia’s face.
Josephine is still suffering at the moment, so I don’t have any mood to be thinking about anything else. I can’t do something that’ll disappoint Josephine at such a time. In Lizbeth’s case, Josephine was the one who matchmakes her with me. I only agreed to it because I wanted Josephine to have a companion.
Jared headed to bed early after dinner. He didn’t want to talk to Cecilia and Millie any longer, knowing it would only deepen their feelings for each other the more they talked.
Around midnight, Jared was soundly asleep when he suddenly felt something warm against his body, and a feminine fragrance filled his nose.
Jared jolted upright and realized Cecilia was also in his bed.
He wanted to turn on the lights, but she stopped him before he could.
“Don’t turn on the lights.”
Out of shyness, Cecilia didn’t let Jared turn on the lights.
Jared conceded, but he got out of bed instantly and lighted a cigarette. “I appreciate what you are doing, Ms. Jingle, but I already have a girlfriend. She was caught and imprisoned at Warriors Alliance’s dungeon. I can’t betray her.”
Cecilia silently put on her clothes at his rejection.
“I’m sorry.”
Cecilia started walking away with disappointment but halted at the door. She looked over her shoulder at him. “I’m not a loose woman, nor do I lack self-respect. I really like you, and I hope you can understand my feelings.”
“I do…”
Jared nodded.
Cecilia spun and left through the door. She didn’t want Jared to mistake her for an easy woman.
Jared looked up at the starry sky. I’m starting to miss Josephine.
Meanwhile, Zion had changed his clothes and went down to the Warriors Alliance’s dungeon in Jadeborough. It was the same routine every day. He would wait until midnight before coming down to the dungeon.
Josephine quietly sat in one of the cells, waiting for Zion to come.
