Chapter 1079 Malicious Intent
Cecilia heard Daryl's footsteps getting closer and closer, soon he was right outside her door.
At this moment, Cecilia couldn't help but feel nervous.
'What does his mean? Is he coming to my room?' Thinking of this, Cecilia's heart tightened.
Then, the footsteps stopped.
Cecilia frowned, then immediately understood that he must be standing right outside her door.
At this moment, Cecilia held her breath, her hand holding the cup trembled, and she gripped the cup tightly.
Right now, Cecilia was very nervous. If he came in, she really wouldn't know how to face him.
The bad memories of that day swirled in her mind, and Cecilia's legs began to tremble.
She mocked herself in her heart, 'Aren't you always boasting about being strong? Why are you so nervous now? After all, Daryl isn't a fierce person.'
But that night, he was indeed frightening, and Cecilia still felt scared.
Separated by a door, one stood outside, and one stood inside.
Just like that, they silently stood off for two minutes.
Then, Cecilia heard the sound of footsteps moving away.
When she heard the door next door open and close, Cecilia knew she was safe for another night.
The next moment, she relaxed and leaned against the door, her whole body loosening up.
However, after feeling relieved that she had dodged a bullet, a trace of disappointment appeared in Cecilia's eyes.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, both afraid of being with him and having a slight expectation of being with him.
In the following days, Douglas would regularly take Daryl's clothes to the laundry and bring dinner in the evening.
Daryl would make breakfast, so Cecilia only needed to tidy up the house, making her feel much more relaxed.
There were fresh lilies in the living room every day, and the dinners and breakfasts were all her favorites. Daryl was very gentle with her, but Cecilia remained cold and distant towards him, and they interacted indifferently.
Sometimes, Cecilia would lie in bed and think, 'If we could continue to interact like this for the next ten months, maybe it would be a good thing.'
That way, when the time came, she could leave without any attachments. He would just be a passerby in her life, and maybe she wouldn't be too sad.
The wound on Cecilia's finger gradually healed, but she suddenly had the thought of not wanting to remove the bandage.
She didn't know what was wrong with her; in short, she didn't even understand her own thoughts.
This morning, Cecilia sat at the dining table, quickly eating her breakfast.
Daryl sat opposite her, still eating slowly as usual.
Cecilia ate quickly every morning because that way she could spend less time with Daryl.
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to spend more time with him, but whenever she met his gaze, she would feel very scared and not know how to interact with him.
Recently, Cecilia was touched by everything he had done for her, thinking he realized his mistake and regretted what he did that day.
'Actually, he isn't wrong to do that; it is just a bit extreme. After all, we have a contract as bed partners. The money has already been transferred to my account, and I am enjoying the mansion, the food, and everything he provided. It is only fair for me to give my body in return, isn't it?' Cecilia thought sadly.
Whenever she was with him, Cecilia would think of the agreement between them, reminding herself of her role as a bed partner.
So, Cecilia always avoided him. She knew she shouldn't reject their relationship; it was something she had agreed to in the first place. But subconsciously, she still resisted, even though she knew it was futile.
While eating, maybe because she was eating too fast, Cecilia accidentally choked.
Cecilia lowered her head and coughed violently, her face turning blush.
Seeing this, Daryl quickly got up, walked behind Cecilia, and patted her back while handing her a glass of warm water. "Drink some water!"
In pain, Cecilia quickly took the glass from Daryl's hand, lowered her head, drank two sips, and coughed a few more times before she felt better.
The next moment, Cecilia held her chest, feeling a sense of relief as if she had just survived a disaster.
Sensing that Cecilia was okay, Daryl looked at her with a deep smile and said, "Eating requires chewing slowly. Eating quickly not only makes it hard to digest but also easily causes accidents. I know you might want to finish quickly and get out of my sight, but you don't have to. At most, you can treat me like air and ignore me, but achieving that will take some effort!"
Hearing this, Cecilia looked up and saw Daryl looking at her with a smile on his face, clearly mocking her in a humorous way.
The next moment, Cecilia suddenly stood up.
Maybe her foot was a bit numb, or maybe she got up too quickly, so she stumbled a bit after standing up.
At this moment, Daryl reached out and hooked her waist.
Cecilia frowned. When she realized he was holding her waist, she glared at him.
But Daryl had a triumphant smile on his face.
Seeing his mischievous smile, Cecilia pushed Daryl away forcefully.
"I hate you!" Cecilia shouted at Daryl.
Daryl took a step back but still smiled and said, "I was just being kind. I couldn't just watch you fall to the ground, right? If you got hurt, I'd have to carry you upstairs, wouldn't I?"
At this moment, Cecilia felt Daryl's smiling expression was very intimate, making her heart race and her face blush.
Cecilia hated the atmosphere at this moment, so she quickly grabbed her backpack and said, "I'm going to be late, I don't have time to chat with you!"
After saying that, Cecilia ran out of the villa.
Watching Cecilia run out, Daryl looked at her leaving with a deep smile.
He knew she was shy.
Her shy look was very cute, making it hard for him to look away.
Cecilia ran far from the villa with her backpack until she was out of breath before stopping.
Looking back to make sure he hadn't followed, Cecilia bent over to rest.
She didn't know what was wrong with Daryl. He was fierce a few days ago, and now he was smiling mischievously.
Thinking of his smiling eyes now felt creepy.
Realizing she couldn't be affected by him and needed to focus on her classes and her life, Cecilia walked quickly to the bus stop.
