Chapter 214 

laveth stepped out of the room, not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he began to wander around the Abernathy mansion 

His actions seemed casual but he had ulterior motives 

He was hoping to see that little girl with the droopy head and sad appearance 

He never claimed to be a good person 

But the pitiful little girl could always stir his soft spot 

“Mr. Jareth? What brings you here?” Alva happened to bump into him, walking over with a surprised look on her face 

“Ah, um “Jareth’s expression was a bit awkward. He stammered and gathered his courage to ask in a low voice, “Alva, where does Marilla stay? Alva looked at him in surprise 

Even with a brain, she couldn’t associate the man in front of her with the young lady 

“What do you want to do? Mr. Jareth, Maria is still a minor and rarely sees strangers. You must not scare hert” 

Jareth raised his eyebrows. “Alva, you’ve watched me and Thad grow up. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?” 

“You are absolutely good to our young master” Alva gave a thumbs up 

“But for women, you can only be this “Alva pointed her thumb down. 

Jareth held his forehead 

After a lot of persuasion and whitewashing of his playboy image, Alva reluctantly took him to see Marilla. 

11 wait at the door Say what you want to say quickly it’s not good to be seen by others.”Alva stood at the door, solemnly instructing him. Jareth couldn’t help but laugh, “Alva, you’re not a matchmaker, and I’m not a playboy. You don’t need to be so nervous” 

Having said that, he strode into the room and closed the door 

Alva was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, her eyes wide with anger, “This stinky boy! How dare he mock me?” 

As soon as Jareth walked into Marilla’s room, he was taken aback 

Compared to his sister’s extravagant princess room, Maria’s room seemed too simple. Apart from the basic decoration and furniture of the mansion, there were no decorations it was as empty as a snow cave 

Jareth heard some movement in the bedroom, so he slowed down and tiptoed towards the room. 

The door was slightly ajar, and he entered silently. 

He saw Maria’s slender figure sitting at the large desk, hunched over and seemingly writing something. 

Jareth’s eyes deepened a bit, and he quietly walked behind her, craning his neck to peek at what she was writing 

Suddenly, his heart trembled violently, and his pupils contracted 

Maria was seriously drawing on the paper, and the person in the picture was hum 

Marilla put down her pen, her deer-like eyes bent, and she picked up the drawing to admire 

“When do you plan to give it to me?” 

“Ah!” Maria let out a scream, jumped up from the chair, and tried to cover the drawing but it was too late 

Jareth was quick and sly. He directly pulled the drawing from under her thin arm 

“Give it back to me Marilla’s cheeks flushed. She stood on her toes and reached out to grab it 

The man’s tall figure was like an insurmountable mountain for her. In her embarrassment, she directly grabbed his tie with one hand and reached around his waist with the other to snatch the drawing 

“Let go, I’m choking” 

Jareth could hardly breathe. He had no choice but to bend down, pick Marilla up by her thin waist, put her on the table, and relieve a bit of the suffocating pain. 

“Give it back to me That’s my drawing” Marilla’s clear eyes were filled with stubbornness 

The person in the drawing is me. Logically speaking, you’ve infringed on my portrait rights, haven’t you?” 

Jareth looked into her eyes, his gaze gradually warming. As compensation, will you give this drawing to me, Maria?” 

Marilla’s face turned red with shyness, she grabbed the man’s tie and pulled hard. 

Jareth suddenly widened his eyes, his body surging forward, pressing Marilla tightly under him. 

Thrips were only a hair’s breadth away from merging into one 

The Ingering kisses from last night resurfaced, and he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. 

“Eh ticklish” 

Mara quickly turned fier face away, the man’s breath with a hint of tobacco smell made her feel ticklish 

Her heart was poufiding 

Jareth felt a bit dizzy The gris body was so soft, softer than his mattress 

It made him reluctant to leave. 

Jareth used all his strength to suppress the wildfire in his body, straightened his waist, and stood upright 

His eyes were moist, and his breathing became heavy 

Although Marilla was of age, she was born small and thin Curled up on the table, she looked pitiful. 

She buried half of her face between her knees and reached out to the man, “Givet back to me” 

1 saved your teddy bear last night. As a thank you gift, can’t you even give me a drawing?” 

Jareth’s sold arm rested on the edge of the table, and he leaned slightly towards her, Treally like this drawing, will you give it to me?” 

Tve already prepared a gift for you “Maria’s voice was timid, her toes curled up 

“Where is Jareth’s eyes it up 

Ten minutes later, Jareth returned to his car 

faction 

He was holding a cake box in his left hand and the rolled up portrait in his right hand. The corners of his lips kept rising, his heart was filed with unprecedented satisfac Actually, as early as at Hamition’s birthday party, when he saw the painting that Maria gave to her grandfather, he secretly wished that he could also get such a painting A unique painting created just for him. 

Unexpectedly, he really got 

The joy and the sense of happiness were indescribable. 

Jareth happily put away the panting, and couldn’t wait to open the cake box 

Inside was a plain, even somewhat ugly, blueberry mousse cake 

He picked up a piece of cream with his fingertip and put it in his mouth, sucking on his finger 

Jareth frowned and chewed 

The taste was a bit sout 

Late at night, Evadne was applying a face mask, sitting in front of the computer in her study room, playing games without rest 

Actually, she was tired long ago, but tonight Jason went out to track Kevin at her command and hadn’t come back yet. She was worried, so she played games to stay awake while waiting for his news 

The game’s admin had sent her emails, more than once, inviting the internationally renowned female slayer to participate in professional tournaments. But she had always refused. She played video games for fun, not for fame or fortune. Did she look like she needed the money? 

A messagepopped up. Avery had logged in. 

Fancy a game, Rose?] 

[Sure Cifero Send me an invite] 

Avery connected with her in voice chat, his melodic voice resonating in her study. 

Good evening. Miss Ciferok” 

“Good evening. Mr. Rose” 

“It seems you have a strong resilience. Ada’s issue doesn’t seem to affect you much.” Avery chuckled softly 

“Of course ve trained in some special technique”: 

“What does that mean?” 

“The outside world cant affect me. The only thing Tcare is my integrity” 

Avery couldn’t help but laugh. After a pause, he asked, “Can help with Ada’s situation?” 

“No need. This is a dispute between me and the Abernathy Group. Even though it’s not a big issue, I cant involve the Chambers Group. Thank you for your kindness.”Evadne declined politely. 

Im not representing the Chambers Group I just want to help you as an individual” Avery’s voice was soft and filled with concern. 

Evadne raised an eyebrow, “Don’t you trust my abilities? Think I cant handle it alone?” 

“No.”Avery 

let out a helpless laugh, just don’t want you to work too hard. Save some time to play games with me. You haven’t logged in for several days.” 

Evadne was taken aback, blinking her eyes. 

Could be he had been waiting for her online these days? 

On, indeed. He just returned from Helgen, idle and friendless. No wonder he was always clinging to her 

That was kind of pathetic 

At that moment, there was a knock at the door Jason’s voice came through. 

“Miss Evadne! I’m back!” 

Finally, she had been expecting him. She hastily said goodbye to Avery, “Mr. Avery, I have something urgent to deal with Goodnight!” 

Without waiting for his response, she exited the voice chat 

On the other end. 

Avery looked at the chat interface, only his icon was left. He blinked his long eyelashes, whispering softly to himself 

“Good night, Evadne”- 

Then, his eyes darkened as he clicked his mouse twice. 

Replacing the game interface on the screen were detailed backgrounds of Jason and his two brothers from the Dempsey family
