Chapter 171 - 167

Chapter 171: Chapter 167

I tried to get back my phone, but judging by my mom’s face, I didn’t want to piss her off and give her, heart trouble.

I finally said, "Mom, just turn off my phone then."

As soon as she heard that, she switched off my phone.

At night, I looked at the clock on the wall, feeling a bit uneasy. Damon was probably waiting for me to watch a movie, but I didn’t show up

He must think I stood him up on purpose. But I couldn’t contact him now to explain. My mom was always by my side, praising Jones from time to time.

"Mom, who told you that Damon was there today?" I couldn’t figure this out.

It couldn’t have been Luna and Mitch, and Ariel didn’t have my mom’s contact info. The only person I could think of was Jones.

But I didn’t want to suspect him. He wouldn’t do something like that.

Was it Damon who told my parents?!

My mom gave me a side–eye, "You don’t need to know who told me. The bottom line, you can’t have any contact with Damon. You’ve been hurt by him once. Do you want to make the same mistake again?"

"Mom, I didn’t." I tried to explain, "I had a reason to go to that party today!"

I told my mom about Steve, and she looked at me puzzled. After a while, she repeated her words, "Bottom line, you can’t have any contact with Damon. You’re not a little girl anymore, and you need to think about your future!"

I knew my parents were scared. My failed five–year marriage with Damon not only hurt them but also brought them some criticism.

So now they were very cautious about Damon and didn’t allow me to have any connection with him.

I kept checking the time, and when the clock struck twelve, my heart sank.

My parents had already gone to bed. After sitting quietly for a while, I decided to wash up and go to bed.

Just as I reached my room, a car horn honked urgently outside, and then all was quiet.

I went to the balcony to check. From this angle, I could see the front gate. A black car was parked quietly outside, lights on

Damon sat in the car, the half–open window was softly lit. He seemed to be looking towards the gate, but I couldn’t see his expression clearly.

I quickly went downstairs, intending to explain to him, I indeed stood him up. But when I reached the front gate, Damon’s car had already left, leaving only the deep night.

Let him misunderstand, and then he won’t bother me again. I shook my head helplessly and went back to bed.

For the next few days, I was like a prisoner, and my parents were like jailers.

They took turns watching me, finally handing over the surveillance duties to James.

James has been with me for a long time, so he quickly revealed his mission to me.

"I know it, no worries," I said while watching TV and eating grapes, then quietly said to James next to me.

"Ms. Eliana, have you really decided not to look back?" James asked hesitantly.

I put down the grapes in my hand and turned to him, "James, do you also think, like my parents, that I haven’t really let go of Damon?"

James looked apologetic, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked these questions!"

I couldn’t help but laugh, "James, don’t always see our relationship as master and servant. I’ve always considered you a friend."

James bowed his head slightly, not saying a word.

I continued, "I understand why you asked that question. You’ve seen my unrequited love for Damon; you must think I’ve given too much, and it’s hard to let go."

"Uh, I just think you should find a man who truly loves you." James said sincerely.

"Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s a man who truly loves me waiting for me. James, lend me your phone!" I stretched out my hand.

James looked at my hand, a troubled look on his face. My parents had taken away my phone just to prevent me from contacting Damon.

They thought too much, I just wanted to ask Luna if Steve had been rescued.

I shook my hand again, "Aren’t you lending it to me? I want to call Luna!"

James sighed lightly and handed me his phone.

I immediately dialed Luna’s number.

"Hello?" The call was picked up quickly. Luna didn’t know who it was.

"Luna, it’s me, how’s Steve?" I asked.

Luna’s tone changed immediately, "Eliana? What happened to you? Your phone has been off, I couldn’t contact you. I was about to come to your house"

I glanced at James, James smartly left the living room and went outside to sunbathe.

After James left, I told Luna about my current situation.

She was shocked; my enlightened parents were actually putting me under house arrest.

"Now your parents are Damon’s biggest opponents!" Luna sighed.

"Indeed." I said, "By the way, you haven’t told me how Steve is. Was it Lewis?"

Luna told me after receiving the information, she called the police. They found Steve in a deserted villa, he was in a dangerous situation.

But the others had already fled. Now Steve was in the hospital, and the police were investigating his kidnappers.

She asked, "Eliana, how did you convince Damon? I heard from Mitch that Damon has been in a bad mood these days, always drinking. Does this have anything

to do with you?"

I had to explain to her about agreeing to watch a movie with Damon.

"I can’t believe..." Luna answered in shock, "Do you two have something you’re not telling me? It’s hard to understand why Damon would ask you to watch a movie with him, and it’s even more incomprehensible that he’s in such a bad mood because you didn’t go."

I’m more worried that he would misunderstand and think I stood him up on purpose to tease him, then he would bother me in the future.

Suddenly, I heard Mitch’s voice from Luna’s end, "All right, try to calm him down! I’m on my way!"

"What happened?" I asked.

"Damon’s drunk and got into some squabble. They say they can’t handle him, I gotta go check it out!" Mitch replied.

I told Luna, "All right, Luna, I’m hanging up now."

"Damon getting into a conflict with someone?" I ain’t worried about him one bit. If anything. It was the other guy I should be worried about.

After hanging up. I handed James phone back to him and then headed upstairs to play some piano to kill time.

After a while, James suddenly came upstairs, looking a bit troubled, "Ms. Eliana!"

"What’s up?" I stopped playing, asking with a puzzled look.

James seemed a bit hesitant and finally just shook his head, "Nothing, it’s almost dinner time. Want me to start cooking?"
