My Unexpected Marriage to the CEO: A Sweet Second Chance Chapter 35 by Pumpkin Witch. Felix and Louise kept on bickering, while Derek was oddly silent right now. He lay on the grass with one leg bent, one hand under his head, and the other hand holding a can of beer. Then, he stared at the night sky in stolid silence. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Moments later, they began to play cards. Felix dragged Derek to the others and invited him to join them. This time, they didn’t gamble for money, but for shots of liquor. For some reason, Derek appeared to be absent-minded at the moment. He was staring blankly into space. He had already drunk a lot a while ago, and now he was drinking one can after another. The pile of empty cans on the grass was steadily increasing. Soon, I began to feel bored. I was never amused watching them play cards, so I sat aside, yawning. Suddenly, Derek turned around and said to me, “If you’re sleepy, you can go to sleep first. Felix glanced at me and chuckled. “What’s the matter, little lady? Can’t fall asleep without Derek around?”. Everyone burst into laughter. My face turned red as I turned around and went into the tent. I had no idea for how long I had been lying. From time to time, I would hear them laughing and cursing at each other. Gradually, I drifted into slumber. It made me think that they would stay up all night. I had no idea when I fell asleep. In a daze, I heard some noises and I smelled a strong scent of alcohol. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that the light inside the tent was still on, and there were several bugs flocking towards it
I turned my head and saw that Derek was lying by the side. His arm was covering his eyes, and his chest was heaving steadily. He appeared to have fallen asleep. However, I noticed that the quilt was on my body alone. He wasn’t covered at all. It was very cold at the top of the mount ain. If he were to continue sleeping lik e this, he would certainly catch a cold. I sat up, and tucked him under the quilt. When I was about to take my hand back, he suddenly grabbed my hand and stared at me with unblinking eyes. His gaze rendered me flustered. I tried to withd raw my hand, but he held it even tighter. Sudden ly, he turned over and pressed me under his body. “What are you d oing?” My heart skipped a beat. His eyes were burning wi th desire, and his deep, husky voice was so sexy. “I want to fuc k you!” . I was so stunned t hat I felt like my brain had exploded. Based on his level of inebriation, it seemed that he had lost all rationality. Suddenly, he began to kiss me wil dly, and the strong odor of alcohol wafted into my mouth. “Derek, don’t do t his!” I pleaded in a trembling voice. But considering the situation, I didn’t dare to shout too loudly. If I did and the others came to check what was ha ppening, I’m the one who would end up feeling embarrassed. It appeared as though he coul d no longer wait. His muscula r body felt warmer than mine. Inside our quiet tent, his turb id breath sprayed onto my ears, leaving me weaker by the second. After a long time, he finally fell asleep beside me. In his sleep, he would hold me in his arms fr om time to time and rub his head against my nape
“Happy birthd ay,” he sudde nly muttered. It was then that all the fire I felt in my bo dy dissipated, and I felt as though a large ba sin of icy water had been poured over my head. Today wasn’t my birthd ay, so he was obviously not saying that to me. So, he did all of this to me without knowing who I was? . It was hard to describe how I fe lt at this moment. Perhaps I was both disappointed and dispirited . Moments later, I heard the sound of steady br eathing from behind me. I removed his arm from me, tidied myself, and walked out of the tent. Right now, it was tranquil on the viewing p latform. Everyone else was asleep, and I co uld hea random snores from one of the tents . I took Derek’s bicycle and rode it along the r oad we used to get here. I had only learned how to ride, so I was still afraid of riding downhill at such a dark road. Bu what I was more afraid of was facing Derek once he would wake up. The road ahead was far too dark for me to see clearly, and riding d ownhill caused me to accelerate. The wind blurred my vision as tear s welled up in my eyes. As I panicked, I los control of the bicycle. Afraid that I would rush of f a cliff, I braked suddenly , and fell down the bicycle. My knees and arms were grazed b y the rough ground, and the bicy cle hit my leg when it fel down. I tried to stand up, but I f ound that my ankle was sprai ned. I couldn’t even get up. This scene was similar to my plight back th en. Once again, I was covered with wounds o n a mountainside in the middle of the night. It seemed that I could never escape fate’s cruel humor. Each time that I felt like happiness was within reach, reality would slap me right across my face. I wondered why this was happening to me
