Chapter 435: Chapter 377 That’s Horrible
lissa wasn’t as gentle as she was usually. Instead, there was a hint of the sa coldness and seriousness as Murray in her eyes. There was also a hint of warning.
This ti, it was just a small punishnt. And if Adela made another sinister move, lissa wouldn’t show rcy.
Adela looked at lissa in disbelief. There was resentnt, surprise, and confusion in Adela’s eyes.
However, all of Adela’s emotions were quickly replaced by an emotion called hatred.
Adela didn’t intend to let lissa continue to be the winner.
"lissa, we shall see."
Adela’s voice was low, and her teeth were gnashed. She angrily turned around and left. The door was slamd shut.
lissa looked at the closed door and shook her head helplessly. She sat on the couch.
lissa decided to ignore it. She wasn’t in the mood to keep an eye on Adela every day right now. The most important thing for her was to make sure that "The King Saying Farewell to His Queen" would win a prize.
At Moonlight Mansion.
Ever since Ryleigh had successfully lived in Murray’s place, she had been extrely happy and seed to have taken herself as Murray’s wife. But she was far from being satisfied with it.
What she wanted was to be officially married to the Gibson family.
"Ray, why are you so late?"
It was already eight o’clock in the evening. Ryleigh had been sitting on the couch while glancing at the clock on the wall from ti to ti. It was only when she heard the sound of the door opening that she smiled and quickly walked to the door to welco Murray.
Murray rubbed Ryleigh’s hair and said with a smile, "A lot of things need to be handled recently in the company. And I just dealt with a business deal, so I ca back a little late."
Ryleigh looked at Murray with a face full of worry. Ever since she lived in Murray’s place, Murray had not returned many tis. She was afraid that lissa would use so tricks again by taking advantage of it.
Only when she heard Murray’s words did the doubts in her mind disappear.
Ryleigh pulled Murray to the dining room and sat down. She made a few dishes herself. Ryleigh provided one beefsteak with potato and pea for Murray.
"Ray, I made it myself. Hurry up and try it."
Murray paused. He picked up a piece of steak with his fork and put it in his mouth. After carefully chewing it, he nodded. He seed to rember sothing and said to Ryleigh, "Ryleigh, although your condition is getting better now, you still need to take care of your body. I am usually not at ho, and you are alone without anyone to take care of you. So I hired a nurse to move over to take care of you. She can always pay attention to your physical condition. If there is anything, she can also tell
imdiately."
Ryleigh was stunned for a mont, and her eyes unconsciously glanced into the steak.
Her so-called fatal illness was originally faked. She wondered what if Murray and the nurse he invited found out the fact.
Murray had been looking at Ryleigh, or rather, he was paying attention to Ryleigh’s state.
He asked carefully, "What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Ryleigh began to notice Murray’s questions and shook her head with a smile, "No, I was just thinking that it would be too troubleso for you."
"How could that be? I’ve already contacted her. The nurse will be here tomorrow."
After dinner, Murray was dealing with his business in the ho office. Ryleigh had a plan in her heart to improve her relationship with Murray.
Only by completely "taking a step further" could she be completely at ease. And in that case, Murray and lissa wouldn’t be able to rekindle the past romance.
Ryleigh changed into the newly bought lace pajamas and walked to the door of the ho office with a cup of coffee in her hand. She knocked lightly and revealed a sweet smile.
"Ray, this is the coffee I made for you. Have so."
Ryleigh put the coffee on the table, and the hollow between her breasts was faintly discernible. Unexpectedly, Murray just glanced at her lightly and returned to work.
"Thank you. You can leave it there for now. I will drink it later."
"Well..." Ryleigh quickly hid the disappointnt in her eyes. She didn’t believe that her beauty wasn’t attractive to Murray.
Thinking of this, she put her hand on Murray’s and sat in his arms. And then she put her hands around Murray’s neck and whispered, "Ray, it’s already late. What’s more, you’ve been busy all day in the company. Don’t look at the computer at this ti. Go to bed early."
As she spoke, she deliberately stuck close to Murray. As they got closer, she closed her eyes while intending to kiss Murray’s lips.
It seed that the kiss had to be finished. But the mont their lips were about to touch, Murray pressed down on Ryleigh’s shoulder.
Ryleigh looked at Murray at a loss, and her fingers on the man’s shoulder tightened slightly.
Murray widened the distance between them and said politely, "Ryleigh, it’s very late now. I still have sothing to deal with. And I need to attend a eting tomorrow. You are recovering from your disease. Don’t catch a cold. You should go back to the bedroom to rest."
"Ray..."
Ryleigh’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Murray to refuse her. She was stunned for a while and still wanted to say sothing.
However, after seeing Murray’s eyes, the confidence that had just surged out was instantly extinguished.
Ryleigh released her hand hesitantly and nodded. "Then I will go back to sleep. Ray, you should also rest early."
Murray nodded. As soon as the door closed, he finally relaxed.
In less than three hours, Ryleigh’s panicked voice ca from outside. "Ray, Ray..."
Murray pushed open the door. He went out to find that the sound was coming from the bedroom.
He quickly walked over and pushed open the bedroom door. Ryleigh sat up with a pale face and turned to look at the door. Her movents were stiff as if she had seen sothing terrible.
Ryleigh blinked and only dared open her mouth when she saw Murray. "Ray, it was horrible..."
Murray walked to the bed and held Ryleigh’s hand. He asked with concern, "Ryleigh, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Ryleigh wrapped her arms around Murray’s waist and snuggled in Murray’s arms. She said pitifully, "Ray, I’m scared... I was dreaming just now. I was dreaming about the days when we were trapped in the cabin by the kidnappers. They... They still didn’t allow
to et you... It was too scary."
Murray pursed his lips and cald down for a mont. Soon, he returned to his normal state.
Murray gently patted Ryleigh’s back. And his voice sounded very soft. "That was just a dream. It’s fine now. You are awake now. Ryleigh... You won’t live like that in the future. Don’t worry. And you don’t have to be afraid."
"I won’t if you stay with ."
Ryleigh humd softly and raised her head to look at Murray with a pleading expression. "But Ray, I’m still so scared... I can’t sleep either. Can you stay with ?"
