Chapter 501: 177: Evil begets evil_3

Viola Thompson closed her eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had remembered something, “Loan me your hat.”

“My hat?” Terrence Lentz inquired.

“Hmm.”

Having got a confirmed answer, Terrence Lentz reached out for his hat.

It was a black top hat.

Terrence Lentz appeared particularly domineering when he put on this hat.

He resembled a boss from the old times, coming out right from an oil painting.

Viola took the hat and placed it directly over her face.

This was her usual habit.

Whenever she went to sleep, she had to cover her face with a blanket.

The hat would have to suffice in the car.

The hat carried a faint scent of tobacco.

It wasn’t offensive.

Viola took a deep breath, “I’m going to sleep first, Lentz.”

“Sleep.”

Viola soon fell into a deep slumber.

The journey through the mountain was not a smooth one.

Although the speed was very slow, the car was still shaking all along the journey.

But this didn’t affect Viola’s sleep.

At this moment, the car’s wheel passed over a large hole.

Thud.

The hat rolled onto the ground.

Just as Terrence Lentz was about to bend down to pick it up, his shoulder suddenly weighed more, and then a faint fragrance floated over.

He took a slight sideways glance, and saw a face that was as beautiful as jade.

She was sleeping soundly.

Her breath was shallow.

Her rosy lips slightly ajar, without the usual chilliness, instead they possessed a certain childishness that was not normally visible, which makes one can’t help but want to bend down and kiss her gently.

Although he thought so.

But he ultimately didn’t have the courage.

Terrence Lentz sat there stiffly, not daring to move, not daring to raise his hand, he even didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

What if he woke up the little master?

“Sir…”

The driver turned around at this moment. Before he could finish his sentence, Terrence Lentz signaled him to stop.

“Hush.”

He stretched out his hand and placed it over his lips, signaling for silence.

The driver was left with no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say.

He wondered.

Who is Miss Thompson, that made their boss so indulgent to her?

He wasn’t even allowed to speak loudly.

After some unknown period of time.

Viola opened her eyes and saw that the car had stopped. She immediately sat up, “Have we arrived?”

“Yes.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.

“Did I oversleep! Has it been long since we arrived?”

“Miss Thompson, we…”

Before the driver could even finish his sentence, a deep voice interrupted, “We just arrived.”

The driver couldn’t help but wish to slap himself.

It was none of his business! Why did he even try to say something unnecessary?

Hearing this, the driver immediately answered: “Yes, Miss Thompson, you woke up as soon as we arrived.”

Viola nodded her head and got out of the car, “Where are Rachel and her sister?”

Terrence Lentz moved his thin lips slightly, “Their car was much faster than ours, they are already resting in their rooms.”

“Oh.”

Viola didn’t think much, “Then let’s go back to the rooms and rest.”

Did she just say ‘we’?

Terrence Lentz felt unaccountably happy even though they were not staying in the same room when he heard Viola say this.

“Okay.” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly and followed Viola’s steps.

The check-in procedures were already completed. They just needed to pick up their room keys from the front desk and head to their respective rooms.

Terrence Lentz’s room was next door.

Before Viola unlocked her room, he asked, “Do you prefer eating in the room or downstairs for dinner?”

Viola said: “I will let you know when I wake up, then will eat whatever is available.”

“Okay,” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly, “Then I’ll wait for your message.”

Viola continued: “By the way, where are Rachel’s room and her sister’s?”

“They are staying right next door to your room.” Terrence Lentz continued: “Don’t worry, I have arranged everything.”

Perhaps due to the lack of sleep, his deep voice carried a huskiness in it.

It sounded even more magnetic, pleasing to the ear.

“Alright,” Viola nodded slightly, “Then I’m going back to my room to rest, you should also rest well, let me know when I wake up.”

“Okay.”

Viola opened the door to her room but instead of going to sleep immediately, she took a bath first and changed into the sleeping clothes provided by the hotel, then she went to sleep.

She previously wanted to greet Rachel and Dolores after she had taken her bath but considering that they might already be asleep, she decided not to disturb them.

When Viola woke up again, it was already 11 at night.

Viola picked up her phone and sent a message to [Tall, handsome, and soon-to-be husband].

[I’m awake.]

The reply came almost instantly.

[What do you want to eat?]

[Anything’s fine.]

Terrence Lentz replied: [I see a night market downstairs from the hotel. It seems to be very lively now, do you want to go check it out?]
