I opened my eyes and looked around. I did not see Elena. She had not returned yet.
Shannon said with a sneer, "What's there to worry about? If she encounters a beast, then her angelic bitch personality will keep her safe."
I raised my arm to check the watch on my wrist. If I remembered correctly, Elena had been gone for more than half an hour.
Looking at Theo, I said mildly, “Mr. Grant, maybe you should go and check on her. It's easy for a woman like her to encounter danger this late at night."
"Yeah, Mr. Grant. You should go and take a look," someone echoed.
We were almost done eating and had been gazing at the stars for a long time. It was also almost time for everyone to rest.
Theo was the one who brought Elena along, so he had to be responsible for her no matter what.
He did not say anything and got up to walk: n the direction where Elena had left.
Shannon looked unkindly at me. "You’re the most generous woman I’ve ever met, Wanda Lane. I can't believe you so generously pushed your husband to someone else. You must be a living divine being."
Seeing Jordan heading toward his tent to rest, I asked with a face full of smiles," Don't you think you should be going to bed soon?”
Shannon frowned and looked at Jordan. As though their hearts were connected, Jordan suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked in her direction as well.
Shannon instantly blushed. She retracted her gaze and said to me, "Uh, I'll sleep with you tonight. You probably won't be able to fall asleep alone or might even feel afraid. How can I, your bestie, leave you behind, right?”
I laughed, glancing at her without a word.
She blushed even more when I looked at her and continued to explain, "Don't think too much. Nothing has happened between u s yet. We're very innocent."
I shrugged. "I didn't say that anything has happened between you. Why are you in such a hurry to explain yourself?"
After a pause, I continued, "Besides, Jordan can't do it, right?"
