After saying that, Vincent stood still in the middle of the exceptionally quiet bedroom.
"You don't want me to see Paul?" It was only then that Elaine knew that he was not joking. He did not intend to take her to see Paul at all.
Having been worried about Paul for the whole day, she waited for Vincent's return in order to meet Paul yet she was deceived.
Her heart was filled with indignation. She had never been so angry before, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Pulling her to the bed, he instructed faintly, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Now, sleep."
She tried to free her hand from his grip to no avail.
After struggling a few times, she knew that she was no match to his strength, so she finally compromised.
Standing as still as a statue, she didn't say anything nor acknowledge his existence, and just let him do what he wanted.
As Vincent held her in his arms, he felt the stiffness of her body that he pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were filled with a dark light.
Elaine thought she could not fall asleep, but as she closed her eyes, she gradually felt sleepy two hours later.
As Vincent listened attentively, her breathing slowly calmed down and her stiff body relaxed as well. He released her only to find that she had fallen asleep.
He lowered his head and stared at her face for a long time. Finally, he shook his head with a sneer and lay down again.
He didn't feel sleepy at all as he was in good spirits, or rather he was aroused.
No one knew what he was thinking except himself. That day when the driver told him that she was gone, he became worried instantly.
Ever since he was born into this world, he knew that he would be alone till the day he died. Because of this, he shut off his heart and was not moved by love and lust, but at this moment, God sent such a simple-minded woman to him.
A woman who could even affect his emotions easily.
When he saw her being pressed on the bed by two men, the wrath of fury in his heart burned like a flame.
He had never felt so emotional before!
Even when he massacred the Bradbury Family back then, he was still as calm as the lake water without the slightest fluctuation.
But what happened last night made him experience a sense of indignation that he had never experienced before.
He was not a saint and he always did things willfully, so he shot the bald man directly.
He thought that by doing so, she would be grateful; never did he imagine that it would make her so scared of him.
Truth be told, she was in the bright side of the world while he was in the dark.
It was no doubt that she was traumatized after seeing his dark and terrifying side.
But he was, after all, what he was.
Even if she would be afraid of him, he could never let her go.
Thinking of this, he glanced at her before getting up and leaving.
When Vincent finally left, Elaine, who was supposed to be sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes, got down from the bed, and followed him cautiously without even grabbing her jacket.
The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind blew.
Quietly and barefoot, she followed him. She did not put on her shoes because she was afraid that he would sense her presence.
She had a feeling that Paul might be nearby.
During the day, she had observed Morgan, who had been looking in a certain direction of the villa.
And now, Vincent was heading in that direction.
There must be something fishy going on since he didn't sleep in the middle of the night.
About ten minutes later, Vincent suddenly stopped in front of a small house.
She hid in the dark and peeked at him. When she saw him go in, she immediately followed him in.
