Felixs voice was deep , resonating close to her car .
Laurens pupils dilated , her gaze fixating on his lips , which shimmered rose colored in the warm light .
She swallowed the bitterness in her throat , not quite grasping what he had said .
Yet , she managed a soft smile , hiding any hint of confusion .
Felix didnt miss the fleeting stiffness on her face .
Watching her trembling eyelashes cast butterfly shadows below her eyes , he chuckled softly .
Would you ? She understood this question whether she was willing but she had no idea what he had asked just before that , Looks like I need to get better at reading lips .
Fortunately , Felix hadnt noticed her hearing loss She had already troubled Felix and her grandmother too much ; she really didnt want to add her deafness to their worries Even though she didnt know what he had exactly said , she trusted Mr.

couldnt Anna and Marilyn , overhearing this , were equally stunned .
That was the proposal ! No flowers , no ring , nothing ! Just Felirs words , Marilyn felt a warmth in her eyes , knowing how much Lauren had been hurt before .
She was so desperate for affection .
Thats why she didnt hesitate to accept such a simple proposal from a respectable family like the Brookers .
But in her heart , Marilyn was happy for her ; at last , she had found her own happiness .

She glared at the oblivious Felix , thinking to herself that only because Laurie was easygoing did she accept so readily .
Any other woman might not have been so quick to agree .
Felix crossed has legs and sat elegantly on the sofa , his voice deep and magnetic , Its getting late , you all should head to bed .
Anna , and Marilyn didnt probe further and retired to their rooms , leaving Felix alone in the living room , the occasional shouts of Elliot and the rumble of thunder echoing from outside .
Outside the villa , Elliots voice was hoarse , but he showed no signs of stopping .
Jeffrey , frowning , suggested , Stop shouting , its useless .
Lets go back .
But Elliot ignored him , his eyes fixed on Laurens room .

She rose from her bed and walked to the window , parting the curtains just enough to see Elliot and Jeffrey o Elliot was jumping up and down like a madman , his face contorted with rage and madness .
Lauren watched him with a cold detachment , her gaze as frosty as the chill of the night .
She knew there was only one reason for Elliots visit it had to be about Willow .

A cold mocking smile curled Laurens lips , as chilling and desolate as a winter moon Send Gifts
