Chapter 1142 Threat
When Cecilia saw Daryl in front of her, she widened her eyes in surprise, her hand clutching her pounding heart.
At this moment, standing behind Daryl was also Douglas.
Douglas had also returned from Northstar City. After a moment of shock, Cecilia's mind quickly began to race.
'Why is he here? I left at dawn, how does he know my whereabouts? Has he been having me watched all this time?' Thinking of this, Cecilia felt a wave of panic, realizing she had underestimated Daryl.
"Where are you going?" Daryl's cold eyes stared intently at Cecilia, his face dark and brooding.
"I..." Cecilia was momentarily at a loss for words in response to Daryl's questioning.
However, the next moment, Cecilia straightened her back and said confidently, "Who are you to me? Do I need to report to you where I'm going?"
With that, Cecilia grabbed her suitcase and was about to board the train.
At this moment, Daryl reached out and snatched the suitcase from Cecilia's hand, throwing it aside.
"What are you doing?" Cecilia, in a panic, tried to retrieve her suitcase.
But Daryl grabbed her wrist and, without a word, started dragging her away.
"Let go of me, did you hear me?" Cecilia, furious, tried to break free from Daryl's grip, but she couldn't budge him and had no choice but to let him drag her along.
Douglas followed not far behind, carrying the suitcase.
"If you don't let go of me, I'll scream!" Cecilia finally resorted to threatening.
Hearing this, Daryl frowned and said, "A couple's quarrel, even if you scream, no one will care!"
"Who is a couple with you? Help! " Although Cecilia felt it was embarrassing to shout in public, she had no other choice.
Seeing Cecilia shouting, Daryl frowned, then bent down and scooped her up in his arms.
At this moment, their argument indeed attracted the attention of the train station security.
"Sir, what's going on here?" The security guard asked politely.
Just as Cecilia was about to say something, Douglas ran over with the suitcase, smiling. "They're a married couple having a quarrel. She was about to run away from home, but luckily we got here in time to stop her!"
"It's not like that, they..." Seeing Douglas lying, Cecilia hurried to clarify.
But Daryl looked deeply at Cecilia in his arms and said, "My wife has a bad temper. Her family is far away, and I'm worried about her traveling alone, so I'm taking her home first and will send her back another day."
Hearing this, the security guard glanced at Daryl and Cecilia, seeing that they indeed looked like a couple and seemed very familiar with each other, so he nodded and smiled. "Then don't make a scene, hurry up and leave!"
"Thank you!" Douglas nodded and bowed.
Meanwhile, Daryl had already started walking quickly towards the exit.
Lying in Daryl's arms, Cecilia watched the slowly departing train with a furrowed brow.
She could certainly scream and attract the police, but Cecilia knew that wouldn't solve the problem, and she didn't want to make a scene, so she had no choice but to let Daryl put her in the car.
The car sped down the road, Cecilia turned her face away, her eyes blankly staring at the scenery passing by outside the window, not wanting to look at Daryl behind her.
Daryl looked at Cecilia's back, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
The driver in the front had been replaced by Douglas. Cecilia thought, 'Maybe because Douglas is Daryl's trusted aide, Daryl feels more at ease with him, as my situation must not be known to Skylar.'
She now felt like a secret, and Cecilia particularly resented this feeling of being hidden away.
Soon, the car drove into the underground parking garage of a residential complex.
Seeing this, Cecilia immediately turned to question Daryl. "This isn't my home, where are you taking me?"
"Don't you remember? This is the apartment I took you to last time." Daryl's eyes were calm, his tone matter-of-fact.
Hearing this, Cecilia urgently asked, "Daryl, what are you bringing me here for? Take me back right now, did you hear me?"
Seeing Cecilia shouting, Daryl said expressionlessly, "You don't need to be so loud, I can hear you. To prevent you from running away again, you must stay here!"
"You're restricting my freedom, do you believe I'll call the cop and have you arrested?" Cecilia warned.
"Do as you please, but then everyone will know about you having my child," Daryl said.
"You..." Hearing this, Cecilia's face turned pale with anger, then she gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid Skylar will find out about us?"
Hearing this, Daryl hesitated for a moment before saying, "If she finds out, there's nothing I can do."
Hearing this, Cecilia stared at Daryl in astonishment. "Daryl, what kind of person are you? Why are you so cruel to everyone? Don't you feel any guilt for hurting Skylar?"
Cecilia thought Daryl truly loved Skylar, and she was just a momentary whim for him, but she didn't expect him to be so heartless even to his true love.
The next moment, the car stopped in the underground parking space, and Douglas got out first, opening the car door.
Cecilia glanced at the open car door, sitting there without moving.
Seeing this, Daryl got out from the other side, then leaned in to carry Cecilia out of the car.
Seeing this, Cecilia immediately struggled.
Daryl frowned and said, "If you don't walk, I'll carry you upstairs, and it won't look good for the neighbors to see. You can decide it by yourself!"
Cecilia knew Daryl meant what he said, so she frowned, and although she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to shake off Daryl's hand and follow Douglas, who was carrying the suitcase.
A few minutes later, Cecilia was already standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the master bedroom of the apartment.
Overlooking the endless cityscape outside, Cecilia frowned deeply.
Daryl intended to keep her here, and she was powerless to resist.
At this moment, standing behind Cecilia, Daryl seemed to have seen through her thoughts and suddenly asked, "Your family lives in a small town in the suburbs of Maple Valley, right?"
Hearing this, Cecilia quickly turned around, her eyes meeting Daryl's deep gaze. "What do you mean by that?"
She didn't know why Daryl suddenly mentioned her family, but she knew he must have a purpose.
