Desmond's cool breath suddenly enveloped Haniya, and she didn't dare to move anymore.
They had never been so intimate, and Desmond had not even spared her a look before. Even if she was involved in the incident with Marissa's parents, she had barely touched Desmond. So, what had happened now?
At this thought, Haniya panicked and subconsciously wanted to turn her head to look at Desmond. Right now, he was acting so out of character!
But just as she was about to move, Desmond whispered, "Don't move. It's uncomfortable."
Haniya immediately didn't dare to move after hearing what he said.
"Do you need a blanket?"
Haniya wanted to say that his discomfort had nothing to do with her, but that was all she said.
"Yeah.”
After hearing this, Desmond raised his head and made way for Haniya to move out.
It was obvious that he wanted Haniya to bring him a blanket.
Haniya was a little stunned when she saw this.
Ever since Mango and Nathaniel went on a vacation, Desmond had come here for special training. She was worried about him and also felt that she need learn some defense skills, so she followed him.
However, even though she had followed Desmond to the island for a long time, he treated her as if she was invisible. Hence, they did not talk to each other other than greeting each other every day.
Haniya had felt that nothing would happen between her and Desmond, and she was sad for several nights. Now that she finally accepted the fact and treated him as a colleague, he started treating her as if they were close. What was going on?
However, looking at Desmond's puzzled eyes, Haniya quickly went out and brought him a blanket.
"Go in."
Desmond said faintly. Although that was not an order, for some reason, Haniya felt that she should carry it out.
She walked in front of Desmond again. The next moment, Desmond's head rested on her shoulder again.
Haniya's whole body froze at this. Before she could think of anything, the both of them were wrapped together with the blanket.
She was so scared that she almost jumped up, but she heard Desmond say lightly, "Don't move. It'll take more than an hour to get back. I want to sleep for a while."
"Alright."
Haniya felt like she had been wronged, but she nodded and didn't dare to move anymore after that.
Desmond's lips curled up slightly when he heard her reply, and he closed his eyes. He could smell the scent on Haniya's body.
Hethen fell asleep unknowingly.
Haniya's tensed nerves finally relaxed when she heard Desmon's even breathing.
She turned her head to look at Desmond. Well, the special training did not change him much. His face was more delicate and smooth than a woman's, and his blue hair was very eye-catching.
Haniya didn't even dare to imagine that a man like him would rest on her shoulder!
She knew that Desmond had someone in his heart. In fact, she probably could never enter his heart for the rest of her life, but she felt satisfied as she could savor this moment.
At this thought, Haniya's lips curled into a gentle smile, and then she greedily took a deep breath to take in Desmond's refreshing scent.
Meanwhile, the plane then took off slowly.
Haniya didn't know if they would return to their original relationship after they landed, but she was quite content at this moment.
Before long, Haniya also fell asleep.
Desmond opened his eyes at this time.
Haniya looked very ordinary at first glance, but she was a woman with delicate facial features. The more people looked at her, the more they could appreciate her charm.
She was completely different from Marissa.
After all, Marissa was bossy and flashy. She wanted the whole world to know when she loved someone, but Haniya was not like that.
She was gentle and calm. Perhaps no one would notice her at first, but she gave people a sense of calmness and serenity overtime.
There was no need to say anything when he was with her. When he was with her, his heart would be especially calm, so he wanted to be with her forever.
However, Haniya didn't realize how good she was.
Then, Desmond covered Haniya with the blanket and got up to go to the pilot's cabin.
"Captain Blu, why are you here?"
"How is Madam?"
Desmond was the captain of Dark Night Empire and Mango's subordinate. Now that Mango had returned and he was returning to Ocean City, he needed to know some information.
The man in front of him was also from Dark Night Empire, which made him Desmond's subordinate as well.
The pilot said quickly, "Mrs. Ye is pregnant, while Mr. Ye is injured, so he can't move freely. The situation in Angolla is tense. Mr. Ye wants us to be on full alert and protect Mrs. Ye in case the enemy decides to take some desperate measures."
"Have you made any arrangements then?"
"Yeah, they're done.But... em, I think there's something I need to talk to you about."
The pilot said this hesitantly.
"Say it."
Desmond's tone was a little low as he said these words.
The pilot hurriedly said, "When Mr. Ye was attacked in Angolla and Madam was bringing him back to the country, they encountered some troubles as they passed by a town located near the borders. At that time, Madam used the power of the old Dark Night Empire and didn't contact us."
This matter had always been a thorn for the Dark Night Empire.
They all knew that the old Dark Night Empire was once under the army's jurisdiction and possessed good skills. But now, they were also part of the Dark Night Empire and the new one. Therefore, they didn't want to be inferior to the old division. Moreover, Mango had only sought help from the old division but not them. Didn't this mean that she looked down on them?
Desmond thought for a moment and knew why.
"Don't think too much. Madam treats us equally, but it might have been better for the old division to go to that location. Besides, I was in special training then, and there was no one to take charge. Therefore, I understand why she didn't call us."
Although Desmond said so, he couldn't help thinking of Merle.
Well, Merle wasn't someone incompetent. After all, he could gather the subordinates of the old division in such a short period. Furthermore, he managed to help Mango and Nathaniel at the most critical moment.
After going back, he needed to think about whether he should recruit Merle and the subordinates of the old division so that he could combine both divisions.
