Chapter 214
laveth stepped out of the room, not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he began to wander around the Abernathy mansion
His actions seemed casual but he had ulterior motives
He was hoping to see that little girl with the droopy head and sad appearance
He never claimed to be a good person
But the pitiful little girl could always stir his soft spot
“Mr. Jareth? What brings you here?” Alva happened to bump into him, walking over with a surprised look on her face
“Ah, um “Jareth’s expression was a bit awkward. He stammered and gathered his courage to ask in a low voice, “Alva, where does Marilla stay? Alva looked at him in surprise
Even with a brain, she couldn’t associate the man in front of her with the young lady
“What do you want to do? Mr. Jareth, Maria is still a minor and rarely sees strangers. You must not scare hert”
Jareth raised his eyebrows. “Alva, you’ve watched me and Thad grow up. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
“You are absolutely good to our young master” Alva gave a thumbs up
“But for women, you can only be this “Alva pointed her thumb down.
Jareth held his forehead
After a lot of persuasion and whitewashing of his playboy image, Alva reluctantly took him to see Marilla.
11 wait at the door Say what you want to say quickly it’s not good to be seen by others.”Alva stood at the door, solemnly instructing him. Jareth couldn’t help but laugh, “Alva, you’re not a matchmaker, and I’m not a playboy. You don’t need to be so nervous”
Having said that, he strode into the room and closed the door
Alva was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, her eyes wide with anger, “This stinky boy! How dare he mock me?”
As soon as Jareth walked into Marilla’s room, he was taken aback
Compared to his sister’s extravagant princess room, Maria’s room seemed too simple. Apart from the basic decoration and furniture of the mansion, there were no decorations it was as empty as a snow cave
Jareth heard some movement in the bedroom, so he slowed down and tiptoed towards the room.
The door was slightly ajar, and he entered silently.
He saw Maria’s slender figure sitting at the large desk, hunched over and seemingly writing something.
Jareth’s eyes deepened a bit, and he quietly walked behind her, craning his neck to peek at what she was writing
Suddenly, his heart trembled violently, and his pupils contracted
Maria was seriously drawing on the paper, and the person in the picture was hum
Marilla put down her pen, her deer-like eyes bent, and she picked up the drawing to admire
“When do you plan to give it to me?”
“Ah!” Maria let out a scream, jumped up from the chair, and tried to cover the drawing but it was too late
Jareth was quick and sly. He directly pulled the drawing from under her thin arm
“Give it back to me Marilla’s cheeks flushed. She stood on her toes and reached out to grab it
The man’s tall figure was like an insurmountable mountain for her. In her embarrassment, she directly grabbed his tie with one hand and reached around his waist with the other to snatch the drawing
“Let go, I’m choking”
Jareth could hardly breathe. He had no choice but to bend down, pick Marilla up by her thin waist, put her on the table, and relieve a bit of the suffocating pain.
“Give it back to me That’s my drawing” Marilla’s clear eyes were filled with stubbornness
The person in the drawing is me. Logically speaking, you’ve infringed on my portrait rights, haven’t you?”
Jareth looked into her eyes, his gaze gradually warming. As compensation, will you give this drawing to me, Maria?”
Marilla’s face turned red with shyness, she grabbed the man’s tie and pulled hard.
Jareth suddenly widened his eyes, his b*dy surging forward, pressing Marilla tightly under him.
Thrips were only a hair’s breadth away from merging into one
The Ingering k*sses from last night resurfaced, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen.
“Eh ticklish”
Mara quickly turned fier face away, the man’s breath with a hint of tobacco smell made her feel ticklish
Her heart was poufiding
Jareth felt a bit dizzy The gris b*dy was so soft, softer than his mattress
It made him reluctant to leave.
Jareth used all his strength to suppress the wildfire in his b*dy, straightened his waist, and stood upright
His eyes were moist, and his breathing became heavy
Although Marilla was of age, she was born small and thin Curled up on the table, she looked pitiful.
