Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 834 Can I Go With You?

Daphne's mind was still befuddled. Her collar had slipped down to her shoulders, her breathing was slightly labored, and there were two provocative marks on her collarbone.

While licking her rosy lips, she slowly sat up and tugged on her clothes. She wanted to say something, but her throat felt dry. Instead, she picked up the water on the table and continuously took a few sips.

She eventually coughed. "Y-You should go in. I'll be fine here—"

Before she could finish her sentence, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Louis pulled her and went straight into the bedroom.

She still hadn't reacted much even when she lay in bed all wrapped up.

Things shouldn't have played out like this.

As she turned her head and saw Louis lying with his back to her, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you cold?"

Louis softly hummed, "Hot."

Daphne stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before she moved slightly and pulled the blanket from under her to cover him with it.

Even though Louis didn't move, Daphne could feel his arched back tensing up.

After covering him with the blanket, she reached over around his waist.

Louis stiffened as he listened to her burying her head behind him. "Don't move." Her muffled voice was as soft as a feather.

Relying only on her senses, Daphne lifted his clothes with her eyes closed, her hand slowly snaking from his abdomen into his sweatpants.

The moment she held his member, a muffled moan slipped from Louis' throat.

"Don't speak." Daphne's voice trembled. "Don't say anything..."

She felt like she was going crazy. Her rationality was telling her that she shouldn't do this, but her body's instinct and the urge of her emotions were completely uncontrollable.

She knew why Louis had stopped. She knew he would never force her.

But it was precisely because of this that her heart ached more while her feelings for him deepened.

She was willing to do anything for him.

In the dark of the night when everything should have been silent, raindrops kept tapping on the window, making dull noises.

It covered up the subtle ambiguous gasps in the room to some extent.

In the darkness, Louis kept his eyes open, his jaw slightly clenched, his forehead covered in sweat, and every vein on his neck was visible.

After an unknown amount of time, the roaring dizziness finally ended.

Daphne secretly breathed a sigh of relief as her gasps gradually calmed down. She thought her hand was about to break off.

Feeling the sweat all over her body, she retracted her hand.

I need another shower.

She lifted the blanket, "I... I'll go take a shower first, y-you can clean up."

After a while, Louis finally replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Daphne ran straight into the bathroom, turned on the hot water, and let it wash over her body.

The pent-up heat evaporating with the steam became more and more overwhelming.

It was spreading to every part of her body.

After taking a quick shower, Daphne ran to the living room and lay on the couch before she covered her head with the blanket.

Louis listened to the sound outside the bedroom. After he threw the tissue into the trash can, he took a set of clothes from the wardrobe.

When he went out, he saw that the blanket on the couch was wrapped into a ball.

He lightly pursed his lips and began to speak. Just then, Daphne's voice came from under the blanket. "If you don't listen to me, I'll take a taxi and leave."

Louis stood there for two minutes and watched her while quietly chuckling. Soon, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

It wasn't until the sound of water came from the bathroom that Daphne pulled the blanket down and sucked in a long breath.

This was probably the craziest thing she had ever done in her life.

...

Leanna saw the continuous drizzle outside when she opened her eyes in the morning. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

The temperature was getting lower as it had been raining for almost two days.

She picked up her phone and looked at the time; it was already 9.00AM.

She was just about to get up when her waist was hugged by someone, and a low, raspy voice came from behind her. "Sleep a little longer."

Today was the weekend, which was a rare time when both of them were at home.

It was a good time for them to sleep as it was raining outside again.

Thinking about how Aidan hadn't been resting well recently, Leanna decided to sleep with him a little longer.

Turning around, she buried her head in his arms and closed her eyes again.

It was almost 12.00PM when they woke up.

While Leanna was in the bathroom, brushing her teeth, she mentioned, "I want to invite Louis over for dinner tonight."

"Didn't he just come a few days ago?" Aidan asked.

"But you know what happened a few days ago. Today is the weekend, so I'll try asking him to come. Talk to him, if you will. I think he sometimes listens to what you say."

Aidan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you tell me to speak less before? Are you sure you want to give me the green light today?"

Leanna rinsed her mouth. "Both Zoe and I don't know how to go about this anymore. We also asked Daphne, but I don't know if there's any progress. Anyway, it's worth a try."

Aidan didn't say anything at that.

Leanna pushed him aside and gestured for him to get out of the way. After washing her face, she left the bathroom, picked up her phone, and dialed Louis' number.

On the other end, the phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

Leanna was about to speak when a weak and powerless female voice came from the other end. "Hello..."

Leanna paused and tentatively asked, "Daphne?"

There was silence on the other end that lasted a few seconds before the call abruptly ended.

Leanna stared at her phone with her eyebrows raised.

After about five minutes, Leanna received a call on her phone from the same number she dialed.

Louis' voice came from the other end. "Yeah?"

As Leanna poured water, she replied, "Nothing much. I just wanted to invite you over for dinner since it's the weekend."

Louis remained quiet for a few seconds before responding, "Alright."

Leanna continued, "Tell Daphne to join us too. You can pass the message, so I won't call her."

"Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Leanna sent a message to Zoe to ask her to come over for dinner.

Looking at her phone, Leanna hesitated for a while and decided not to call Daniel.

She was afraid that Zoe would be reminded of William when he saw him.

I'll leave it to some other time.

However, what Leanna didn't expect was that Daniel was sitting next to Zoe when she sent a text message to Zoe.

While Zoe was replying to Leanna's message, she asked Daniel, "Didn't my parents only ask you to deliver breakfast? Why did you come at noon?"

Daniel casually glanced at her phone screen before looking away, clearing his throat. "I have to be flexible about this. They asked me to supervise you eating breakfast, but they didn't say anything about not caring about other meals. Takeout isn't a good option today since it's raining."

"I can go to Nana's house to eat."

"Aren't you afraid that Aidan will kick you out?"

Zoe quietly glanced at Daniel and thought that what he said made sense.

Daniel then pushed the lunchbox on the coffee table toward her. "Eat, or it'll get cold."

Pursing her lips, Zoe decided not to waste the food.

She put down her phone and opened the lunchbox.

The food inside was plentiful, and everything in the lunchbox happened to be her favorite.

Zoe had just taken a bite when Daniel's voice sounded beside her. "Can I go with you tonight?"
