Chapter 1081 Let Go of Me
It was finally midnight, but it suddenly started to rain heavily outside.
Raindrops hit the window, and the wind shook the branches.
Cecilia looked at the clock on the wall; it was already twelve o'clock, thinking Daryl should be asleep.
So, the next moment, Cecilia excitedly jumped out of bed to go downstairs to find something to eat.
Cecilia was afraid of waking Daryl, so she walked lightly and didn't dare to turn on the lights, only using the dim night light in the hallway to go downstairs.
When she reached the kitchen, Cecilia turned on the kitchen light.
Instantly, the kitchen was brightly lit by the crystal chandelier.
At this moment, the wind and rain outside intensified, it could be described as a storm.
Looking at the trees swaying left and right in the wind and the rain hitting the glass, Cecilia felt a bit scared.
Cecilia opened the fridge and saw fresh toast and milk inside. She grabbed two slices of toast and started eating them voraciously.
Her stomach had been suffering today. In order to avoid Daryl upstairs, she had been hungry for several hours.
After a few bites, Cecilia, who was very hungry, finally had some food in her stomach. Then she drank a few sips of milk, feeling completely satisfied.
At this moment, a deafening thunder suddenly sounded outside.
Cecilia shivered, startled by the thunder.
The next moment, the kitchen lights suddenly went out.
The villa was immediately plunged into darkness.
Holding the toast in her hand, Cecilia was dumbfounded. 'What is going on? A power outage?'
At this moment, Cecilia heard a sound behind her.
Cecilia cfelt a chill down her spine, and then she quickly turned around.
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky outside.
Instantly, the lightning illuminated both the outside and inside of the villa for a second.
Cecilia suddenly saw a shadow less than 9 feet away from her.
The next moment, Cecilia screamed, and the toast in her hand was thrown to the ground.
Cecilia felt her whole body trembling, her legs weak, unable to move.
The lightning only allowed her to see a shadow standing in front of the kitchen door, but she couldn't see the person's face. Cecilia felt like she had seen a ghost, her chest heaving rapidly.
The next moment, the lightning disappeared, and the villa was plunged into darkness again. The storm outside continued, and the wind and rain hit the window, making a noise.
Cecilia closed her eyes in fear. At this moment, a pair of large hands suddenly gripped her shoulders, and a familiar voice came to her ear. "Cecilia, what's wrong?"
Hearing Daryl's voice, Cecilia opened her eyes. Although the villa was dark, she could still make out his silhouette.
"Daryl, is that you?" Cecilia, already covered in cold sweat, asked urgently.
"Who else could it be?" Daryl replied with amusement.
At this moment, confirming that the person in front of her was Daryl, Cecilia complained, "I thought I saw a ghost!"
Hearing this, Daryl said, "With such heavy rain outside, even ghosts wouldn't come out."
Hearing this, Cecilia, still trembling with fear, said, "Don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm scared!"
At this moment, Daryl raised his hand with a smile and said, "Okay, I won't say it. Actually, there's no such thing as ghosts in this world. You're scaring yourself."
"Stop it!" Cecilia sternly stopped Daryl.
"Okay, I won't say it, alright?" Seeing Cecilia's frightened look, Daryl had no choice but to say helplessly.
At this moment, another flash of lightning appeared in the sky, illuminating the ground and making a loud noise.
This made Cecilia think of many ghosts she had seen on TV, making her feel creepy.
The next moment, Cecilia screamed and rushed forward to hug Daryl's neck.
Cecilia's sudden embrace made Daryl's eyebrows twitch.
The next moment, two deafening thunderclaps followed, and the wind and rain outside became even stronger.
Cecilia's hands held Daryl's neck tighter.
Northstar City had never experienced such heavy rain, strong wind, and deafening thunder.
Daryl looked down at Cecilia in his arms. The next moment, he tightened his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace.
His chin rested on her forehead, and Daryl had an urge to embed her into his body.
After the thunder, Cecilia slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, she realized she was tightly hugging Daryl's neck.
The next moment, Cecilia quickly withdrew her arms, trying to push him away.
However, Daryl's arms were wrapped around her waist, refusing to let go.
"Let go of me!" Cecilia protested, looking up.
Hearing this, Daryl raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You hug me when you're scared, but when you're not scared, you push me away. You can't treat me like this, can you?"
In response to Daryl's accusation, Cecilia frowned and argued, "It's your fault! Who told you to scare me on purpose just now?"
"You were the one who mentioned ghosts first, not me," Daryl retorted.
As soon as ghosts were mentioned, Cecilia immediately felt creepy all over, and the surroundings were still pitch black, with only the branches outside the window swaying in the wind.
"Can you stop talking?" At this moment, Cecilia's voice had changed.
It was all Rainey's fault. When she was little, to keep her from running around, Rainey always scared her by saying there were ghosts outside, and if she ran out, she would be caught by ghosts. So, although she seemed independent and strong, she was afraid of the dark and afraid of ghosts coming to catch her.
At this moment, two flashes of lightning suddenly appeared outside.
Cecilia screamed and tightly hugged Daryl's neck again.
At this moment, a triumphant smile appeared on Daryl's lips.
After all, in this weather, there would be continuous lightning, and after the lightning, there would be thunder.
Sure enough, the thunder followed closely.
Cecilia was so scared that she couldn't lift her head, her face buried in Daryl's neck, her hands tightly holding his neck.
The next moment, Daryl bent down and picked Cecilia up in his arms.
