I tried to get back my phone, but judging by my mom’s face, I didn’t want to piss her off and give her, heart trouble.
I finally said, "Mom, just turn off my phone then."
As soon as she heard that, she switched off my phone.
At night, I looked at the clock on the wall, feeling a bit uneasy. Damon was probably waiting for to watch a movie, but I didn’t show up
He must think I stood him up on purpose. But I couldn’t contact him now to explain. My mom was always by my side, praising Jones from ti to ti.
"Mom, who told you that Damon was there today?" I couldn’t figure this out.
It couldn’t have been Luna and Mitch, and Ariel didn’t have my mom’s contact info. The only person I could think of was Jones.
But I didn’t want to suspect him. He wouldn’t do sothing like that.
Was it Damon who told my parents?!
My mom gave a side–eye, "You don’t need to know who told . The bottom line, you can’t have any contact with Damon. You’ve been hurt by him once. Do you want to make the sa mistake again?"
"Mom, I didn’t." I tried to explain, "I had a reason to go to that party today!"
I told my mom about Steve, and she looked at puzzled. After a while, she repeated her words, "Bottom line, you can’t have any contact with Damon. You’re not a little girl anymore, and you need to think about your future!"
I knew my parents were scared. My failed five–year marriage with Damon not only hurt them but also brought them so criticism.
So now they were very cautious about Damon and didn’t allow to have any connection with him.
I kept checking the ti, and when the clock struck twelve, my heart sank.
My parents had already gone to bed. After sitting quietly for a while, I decided to wash up and go to bed.
Just as I reached my room, a car horn honked urgently outside, and then all was quiet.
I went to the balcony to check. From this angle, I could see the front gate. A black car was parked quietly outside, lights on
Damon sat in the car, the half–open window was softly lit. He seed to be looking towards the gate, but I couldn’t see his expression clearly.
I quickly went downstairs, intending to explain to him, I indeed stood him up. But when I reached the front gate, Damon’s car had already left, leaving only the deep night.
Let him misunderstand, and then he won’t bother again. I shook my head helplessly and went back to bed.
For the next few days, I was like a prisoner, and my parents were like jailers.
They took turns watching , finally handing over the surveillance duties to Jas.
Jas has been with for a long ti, so he quickly revealed his mission to .
"I know it, no worries," I said while watching TV and eating grapes, then quietly said to Jas next to .
"Ms. Eliana, have you really decided not to look back?" Jas asked hesitantly.
I put down the grapes in my hand and turned to him, "Jas, do you also think, like my parents, that I haven’t really let go of Damon?"
Jas looked apologetic, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked these questions!"
I couldn’t help but laugh, "Jas, don’t always see our relationship as master and servant. I’ve always considered you a friend."
Jas bowed his head slightly, not saying a word.
I continued, "I understand why you asked that question. You’ve seen my unrequited love for Damon; you must think I’ve given too much, and it’s hard to let go."
"Uh, I just think you should find a man who truly loves you." Jas said sincerely.
"Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s a man who truly loves waiting for . Jas, lend your phone!" I stretched out my hand.
Jas looked at my hand, a troubled look on his face. My parents had taken away my phone just to prevent from contacting Damon.
They thought too much, I just wanted to ask Luna if Steve had been rescued.
I shook my hand again, "Aren’t you lending it to ? I want to call Luna!"
Jas sighed lightly and handed his phone.
I imdiately dialed Luna’s number.
"Hello?" The call was picked up quickly. Luna didn’t know who it was.
"Luna, it’s , how’s Steve?" I asked.
Luna’s tone changed imdiately, "Eliana? What happened to you? Your phone has been off, I couldn’t contact you. I was about to co to your house"
I glanced at Jas, Jas smartly left the living room and went outside to sunbathe.
After Jas left, I told Luna about my current situation.
She was shocked; my enlightened parents were actually putting under house arrest.
"Now your parents are Damon’s biggest opponents!" Luna sighed.
"Indeed." I said, "By the way, you haven’t told how Steve is. Was it Lewis?"
Luna told after receiving the information, she called the police. They found Steve in a deserted villa, he was in a dangerous situation.
But the others had already fled. Now Steve was in the hospital, and the police were investigating his kidnappers.
She asked, "Eliana, how did you convince Damon? I heard from Mitch that Damon has been in a bad mood these days, always drinking. Does this have anything
to do with you?"
I had to explain to her about agreeing to watch a movie with Damon.
"I can’t believe..." Luna answered in shock, "Do you two have sothing you’re not telling ? It’s hard to understand why Damon would ask you to watch a movie with him, and it’s even more incomprehensible that he’s in such a bad mood because you didn’t go."
I’m more worried that he would misunderstand and think I stood him up on purpose to tease him, then he would bother in the future.
Suddenly, I heard Mitch’s voice from Luna’s end, "All right, try to calm him down! I’m on my way!"
"What happened?" I asked.
"Damon’s drunk and got into so squabble. They say they can’t handle him, I gotta go check it out!" Mitch replied.
I told Luna, "All right, Luna, I’m hanging up now."
"Damon getting into a conflict with soone?" I ain’t worried about him one bit. If anything. It was the other guy I should be worried about.
After hanging up. I handed Jas phone back to him and then headed upstairs to play so piano to kill ti.
After a while, Jas suddenly ca upstairs, looking a bit troubled, "Ms. Eliana!"
"What’s up?" I stopped playing, asking with a puzzled look.
Jas seed a bit hesitant and finally just shook his head, "Nothing, it’s almost dinner ti. Want to start cooking?"
