Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 368

'Why was she so difficult!?' Darryl thought furiously.

He would do anything to save Dax's life. Without hesitation, he bowed in front of Evelyn and said sincerely, "Miss Evelyn, I'm begging you. Please give m e the Heart of Ocean."

Evelyn looked at him and shook her head with a smile. "Nope, that wasn’t sincere enough."

Darryl was speechless. 'Damn it, why don’t I just dig out my heart and give it to her to show my sincerity!?'

As he was thinking, he heard Evelyn demand, "Kneel and beg me."

Darryl's face darkened while the ladies could not help laughing out loud. All of them sat on chairs with coffees in their hands, anticipating the unfolding event. Circe wanted to say something, but she could not under the peer pressure.

Darryl took a deep breath. He felt a flame igniting in his heart, and his body trembling with anger. A man only kneels to God and his parents. He clenched his fists and wanted to lash out, but he could not. He had n o choice; without the Heart of Ocean, Dax would die.

"Acting cool, eh?" Evelyn scoffed. "I’m running out of patience. If you don't kneel, I'll destroy this." She squeezed the necklace.

"No!" Darryl groaned like a mad man. "I'll kneel. I'll kneel."

Suddenly, he fell on his knees in front of Evelyn. As the ancient saying went: a man's knees were as precious as gold, and no man should kneel in front of anyone besides God and his parents. However, it was Dax's life at stake. What choice did he have?

'Haha! He actually did it! So unmanly!' the ladies giggled to themselves.
