Chapter 1074

Chapter 1074 Ninian could not sleep that night, which was rare for her. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As time went by, she looked at the moon outside her window. The scene of her meeting Everett for the first time ran through her mind.

It was about three years ago. At that time, Everett had yet to enter the entertainment industry.

At that time, she was accidentally spotted by a talent scout. She shot a bunch of perfume commercials, which went viral overnight.

An extreme fanatic stalked her for a couple of months. He drugged her during her friend‘s birthday party and dragged her to a room next door.

She was not even fifteen years old at that time. Even if she had learned self–defense, she could not fight that burly man. What was more, the drug had rendered her physically helpless.

At the time of the crisis, Everett barged in.

He wore a blue hooded sweater and a mask. He looked calm, but when he noticed someone bullying her, his eyes turned bloodshot.

He ruthlessly punched the man‘s head multiple times, intending to kill him.

Ninian was in a trance when she saw the carpet covered with blood. That man‘s nose and mouth were bleeding as he lay on the floor, unconscious.

She screamed and Everett came back to his senses.

When he looked back at her, there was a blank and uneasy look in his bloodshot eyes, as if he were afraid to look at her.

For some reason, she calmed down.

She slumped on the ground, gritted her teeth, and said in a trembling voice, “Don‘t kill him. It‘ll put you at a disadvantage.”

He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old. He would be legally responsible for his actions.

He was against the light as he kept silent. He was wearing a mask and his face was indistinguishable. She could not tell what he was feeling through his dark gaze.

She noticed that he gulped, making his Adam‘s apple move up and down. It was as if he was trying to restrain himself.

She felt a sharp pain in her heart all of a sudden.

She could tell that he was afraid. His gaze was filled with fear.

“It‘s okay. My family will take care of it. This won‘t put you in danger.” She comforted him softly as her heart melted. “Hey, can you come closer and help me get up?” He kept quiet and was hesitant at first before approaching her. He did not touch her directly. Instead, he gave her his arm, so she could use it as a support.

She grabbed his arm and slowly walked towards the couch. Her legs were still weak due to the drug‘s after–effects, making her fall forward. Everett was shocked and quickly reached out to support her.

But once she was seated, he withdrew his hand and avoided touching her.

“Where are your bodyguards? I‘ll call them here.” His voice was deep and hoarse. Once he said it, he was ready to leave.

She looked into his eyes above his mask and suddenly had a strong urge to look at his face.

She blurted out her thoughts, catching him off guard.

He was silent for a while, and in the end, he took a step back, gesturing that he refused to let her see his face.

Her heart was inexplicably disappointed, and the light in her eyes dulled.

She did not say anything anymore. She pointed to where her bodyguards were, and Everett turned and left swiftly.

She felt a sense of familiarity when she saw his back.

It was as if they had met before. “Hey!”

She blurted out, and he stopped walking He turned, took off his mask, and looked at her. “Everett Craig,” he said.
