Chapter 1119 I Can Find Another Backer
From these clues, Cecilia finally concluded that this house was very close to the Fields Corporation, and Daryl must sometimes stay there for convenience.
Getting this answer gave Cecilia some comfort.
Because this house was Daryl's personal space, and the fact that he put her here also showed that he had feelings for her, as he could have easily arranged to stay in a hotel.
Moreover, what delighted Cecilia was that there were no traces of any other woman in this house, which meant Daryl had never brought another woman here.
Thinking of this, Cecilia remembered Skylar.
There were no signs of a woman ever being in this house. Could it be that Daryl had never brought Skylar here either?
Since they were a couple, Skylar should know about Daryl's place.
If Skylar came here often, there would be some traces, as there wasn't even a pair of women's slippers in the house. The pair Cecilia was wearing now was one she had bought from a nearby supermarket.
Cecilia pondered this question for several days but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to stop thinking about it.
Now, she was constantly sleepy and would vomit after eating a little, so for the past week, she had been lying in bed almost every day. Occasionally, when she felt better, she would pick up the book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by her bedside and read Daryl's latest annotations.
That morning, Cecilia was still asleep.
Since becoming pregnant, she not only slept a lot but also slept very deeply.
Daryl opened the door, glanced at the empty living room and kitchen, and then walked straight into the bedroom.
Seeing Cecilia still asleep on the bed, Daryl was taken aback.
At that moment, Cecilia's long hair was spread out on the pillow, and she was wearing a camisole dress, with large areas of skin exposed to the air.
Seeing this, Daryl's throat moved involuntarily.
Cecilia's red lips were slightly pouted, her brows seemed to carry a hint of worry, her long and slightly curled eyelashes mischievously pointed upwards, and her feet were exposed outside the blanket. Her sleeping posture was adorably cute.
After carefully observing Cecilia for several dozen seconds, Daryl clenched his hand and then resolutely knocked on the door twice.
Suddenly awakened by the knocking, Cecilia was a bit flustered because she had been alone in this house for a week, and someone suddenly coming in naturally scared her.
The next moment, Cecilia opened her eyes and quickly sat up.
In her sudden movement, one of the straps on her shoulder slipped down.
At that moment, her thick long hair was loose, her skin exposed to the air, and her eyes still carried a look of fear.
This appearance was really too endearing, and Daryl's eyes darkened.
When Cecilia saw that it was Daryl standing at the bedroom door, she was shocked.
The next moment, she realized her current state and quickly pulled a thin blanket over her body to cover herself.
Cecilia didn't know when he had arrived and stared at Daryl with bewildered eyes.
Their eyes met for a moment.
Then Daryl immediately turned his face away and said coldly, "Put on some clothes, I have something to discuss with you."
After saying that, he turned and closed the door.
At that moment, Cecilia, who had just been woken up, was still in a daze.
She had been waiting for him here for a week and never expected Daryl to appear in this manner.
Without thinking too much, Cecilia quickly changed her clothes. When she reached the door, she thought of Daryl's complex expression just now, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
When Cecilia walked into the living room, she saw Daryl sitting on the couch smoking, his face as expressionless as a statue. She couldn't discern his emotions from his face.
Cecilia walked to the coffee table and stood there.
Over the past week, Cecilia had thought of many ways to tell him about her pregnancy, but when the moment came, she didn't know how to start.
However, Daryl spoke first, "Here's a card with $300,000 in it, and this property transfer agreement. Sign it." Daryl suddenly took out a bank card and a document and tossed them onto the corner of the coffee table.
Hearing Daryl's words, Cecilia looked down at the document and the bank card on the coffee table, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
At this point, Daryl didn't rush to answer. He took a drag of his cigarette, looked out the window, and said, "I mean our contract ends early. I'm very satisfied with your service over the past year. This $300,000 is my reward to you. Additionally, this small apartment is transferred to you. After all, we had a brief relationship, so I'm giving you a place to stay. It's just a small gesture for me."
Hearing these highly insulting and mocking words, Cecilia sneered.
This time, she had come to talk about feelings, kids, and marriage, but she had long lost the right to discuss these things with him. In his mind, she wasn't worthy of talking about these three things.
The next moment, Cecilia firmly refused, "Mr. Fields, thank you for your kindness. I've already received the payment I deserved. I don't accept your reward. You can save it for someone else!"
After saying that, Cecilia turned to go back to the bedroom to get her luggage.
All the fantasies she had on the plane shattered at this moment. She was really foolish to still hold a glimmer of hope that he might want the baby in her belly. Actually, he was right; she wasn't qualified to have his kid. Probably only Skylar was.
"You'd better think it through. You have no money, no connections, and not even a place to stay. Your family won't help you either. Do you think you can live well on your own?" Daryl said quickly, looking at Cecilia's back.
Hearing this, Cecilia stopped in her tracks, her hand clenched into a fist. He seemed to have already assumed she would take his charity.
Cecilia, whose pride was severely insulted, couldn't hold back any longer. She turned around with a smile and looked at the now-standing Daryl. "Mr. Fields, did you forget? Our contract is over. I can find another backer. I think there are others who can afford it, not just you."
Cecilia didn't know why she said that, but she just wanted to provoke him. She knew saying this would definitely make Daryl angry.
Sure enough, hearing this, Daryl got angry.
In the next moment, he kicked out with his foot!
