In the dark night, a faint light suddenly flashed, causing Maria to panic. She shivered and crouched down and clutched her arm, she almost held her breath, her body shivering.
In her ears, the sound of sturdy footsteps could be heard getting closer and closer. The darkness made her unable to see who it was, but she could guess that the person coming was David.
He stopped right behind her, his knife-sharp gaze fixed on her fearful and obnoxious form, his voice like a giant iceberg weighing on her thin shoulders, making it numb.
"Having the spirit to come here, why are you acting scared? Maria, you really have no shame. Trade your mother's sacrifice for a rich life? But rest assured, I won't let you be pleased for long!"
Clutching her palm, Maria gathered all the courage to stand up. She suddenly turned her head and stared at David's murderous eyes with indignation.
"You can say whatever you want, but I forbid you to refer to my mother in such terms."
David took a step forward, the distance between the two was closer, he smirked mockingly.
“You should remember where you are. Here I am the owner and you are just a resident! So you have no right to make any demands on me.”
Tears streamed down Maria's reddened cheeks with anger. Now she really understood what the price of relying on beans was. That even if she is angry, she has no right to speak out, that even if she is mad, she has no right to beat her, that even if it is unfair, she is the one to suffer. She really didn't want, much less bury her life in this cold place.
Just seeing her doe face made him unable to control his own emotions. He rushed towards her like a moth, pinning her to the wall. His eyes were like a burning fire that wanted to burn her alive, but even she herself did not understand what she had done wrong to be treated like that. .
“ Would you really like to return your body?”
Faced with his brutality and strength, her mind went blank.
"I don't have…"
Her panic reached his angry nerves even more. Without giving her a chance to protest, he leaned down and kissed her defenselessly trembling lips. His tall body weighed heavily on her fragile figure, his lips biting hard against her soft lips, causing it to sting. The more she pursed her lips in protest, the more furiously he invaded, each time he would bite hard enough to make her scream, and he successfully slipped his tongue into her mouth and stirred.
Gradually, he moved down to the chin of her neck and then to the hollow of her chest. The feeling of wetness made Maria disgusted. She silently shed tears of anger and despair. She no longer resisted, but let go of her body and let him do whatever he wanted.
Suddenly, he stopped too, his eyes fixed on the hollow of her chest for a moment and then smiled faintly. Do you look like a p*****t in human tires now?
“Don't you like to repay them with your body? You should be happy in bed with me."
Maria's palms clenched tightly, she was like a lost soul leaning against the wall, the tears flowed, causing her vision to be limited, but she could clearly see the delinquency on his face. Space settled in her pain and despair.
Seeing that she was still silent, he angrily threw his hand away and pushed her away and disappeared.
She was like a dry branch that could no longer hold on and collapsed to the floor, her whole body aching, but nothing compared to her broken heart.
She wept bitterly like a lament filled with sorrow. Her sobs mixed with tears seemed to roll into a raging river deep in her heart. The bottom of her eyes contained a dark patch that kept floating on that river. The more I want to find the way back, the more obscure it becomes.
She raised her wet eyes to the murky white floor and cursed silently.
“David… you are an asshole!”
Suddenly she remembered her mother, tried to hold back the tears and smiled wryly.
“Mom… what should I do?”
David hurriedly descended the stairs, each step as if containing a bottomless heavy hatred.
He entered the room next to the stairs on the second floor, slammed the door shut, stretched out on the bed, and sighed repeatedly. Obviously, he didn't want to do that either, but for some reason, his wild nature kept rushing out at that time, making him unable to control it.
The first night at the Julia family's house for Maria felt like a century had passed. Really slow, really slow, really slow. She played alone in the quiet night, every time she closed her eyes, she would see her mother's figure hovering in her thoughts. She heard her mother tell her that the Julia family is the place that can help her fulfill her dream, and the only place where her mother and daughter can be closer together.
Early the next morning, Maria also refused to leave the room. She wandered down the stairs, immersed in a stream of rambling thoughts, but accidentally bumped into Han Lac Than. By the time she realized it, the distance between the two was almost zero. David jumped back in panic.
"Sorry...y..."
David's eyes were still fierce and cold as he looked at Maria, his voice was like a voice coming from the underworld.
“Not only do you have no shame, but you also have no eyes and brains?”
Maria was frozen in place by the eyes of the opposite person, she was as motionless as a dry wooden branch, her lips moved but her throat was choked and she could not speak.
Just then, Bella went from the bottom up, noticed the abnormality of the two children, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
David turned his back, he leisurely walked down and said:
“Next time, remember to tell Maria to be a little more careful. Our stairs don't have any eyes, we can't even get out if we fall."
“David… What are you saying?”
“I just meant to remind you!”
Bella hurriedly ran to Maria:
"Did you fall?"
Maria shook her head dumbly.
"Not available." But hitting David hurt more than falling.
"Next time, be a little more careful."
"Yes…"
Maria's first breakfast at the Julia family's seemed to be something that she would never forget for the rest of her life. She felt like those soft white rice grains when swallowed down her throat as stiff as gunpowder.
David's face is like "thousands of years of ice have never melted", the cold gas emitted from it creates a cold breath that penetrates to the heart. Not to mention, every time she looked up at that fierce face, she remembered the crazy kiss scene last night. Her heart was both filled with anger and resentment, she just hated that she could not immediately rush forward and peel off that cold shell, to see if his heart made from wood, stone or grass could be indifferent to indifferent.
