Chapter 199 He Restrained Himself
The corners of Todd's mouth twitched. He seemed to have compromised.
"Okay, you're not a drunkard. It's rare to see you so cute, so I'll take this punch."
Todd was carrying Daisy out of the bar. Ann was suddenly pushed by Todd. She fell straight to Phillip.
When she smelled the familiar fragrance of Phillip, she hurriedly wanted to stand up. But she accidentally stepped on a wine bottle under her feet. She was about to fall on her back.
It was over.
When she closed her eyes, she was mentally prepared to break her face, but a strong hand crossed her waist, holding her firmly.
Ann opened her eyes and stood up. Phillip retracted his hand. He was still cold and indifferent. He did not look at her, as if he was not the one who had helped Ann.
At this moment, Ann clearly felt that Phillip had changed.
It seemed like he was just treating her as a stranger.
When she realized this, Ann felt a slight pain in her heart. But there was nothing she could do.
Wasn't this result she had always wanted?
Ann pursed her lips. She took a step back, not daring to look into Phillip's eyes. She lowered her head and thanked Phillip politely.
"Thank you, Mr. Phillip."
Phillip lowered his head to look at her. His clear black eyes slightly rippled. But it was as if he was trying his best to restrain something. His tone was cold and stiff.
"You're welcome."
When Ann heard his cold words, her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly. She restrained the sadness and sadness in her heart. She raised her head and was about to say goodbye, but she found that Daisy was already gone.
Her expression changed instantly. She subconsciously looked at Phillip.
"My friend..."
Phillip said indifferently, "Todd sent her back."
Todd?
Ann recalled what Todd looked like and remembered that he was the man who appeared when she went on a blind date.
Todd was completely different from Phillip. His appearance was alluring and he was dressed gorgeously. At a glance, she could tell that Todd was a playboy.
Daisy was drunk. If she fell into Todd's hands...
Ann's heart tightened. She turned to chase after Todd and Daisy.
Phillip grabbed her.
Through the thin fabric, Ann felt the warmth of Phillip's palm. Her body stiffened.
Phillip quickly retracted his hand, his expression cold.
"He is not someone who takes advantage of others. Don't worry. He will not harm Daisy."
Ann was still worried.
She did not think that Phillip would lie to her. But Daisy was drunk and was extremely outstanding. She didn't believe that Todd could not control himself.
"If you are still worried, I can ask someone to send you there now."
Ann quickly refused, "No need, I can take a taxi."
With that, Ann turned and left the bar.
Phillip stood still, looking at Ann's back as she left. He frowned.
When Ann ran out of the bar and hurriedly stopped a taxi, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know where Todd and Daisy would go.
She frowned and subconsciously took out her phone to ask Phillip, but in the end, she gave up.
She told the driver the address of Daisy.
Ann leaned against the back seat and recalled the various changes Phillip had after he returned.
She pursed her lips. Did something happen during the period of his disappearance?
The taxi stopped in front of a high-end apartment. Ann paid the money, confirmed her identity with the security guard of the community, and hurried in.
Not long after Ann disappeared, a low-key luxury Grand Sport Vitesse slowly stopped in front of the apartment building.
Phillip watched that Ann rushed in and hurried out.
Ann stood where she was and took out her phone, looking extremely distressed.
Not long after, Phillip's phone that was placed on the seat beside him rang.
It was "First."
The first encounter, the first warmth he wanted to have, the first person he wanted to love, and the first encounter he felt grateful for... It was also the first pain that he couldn't face. The phone rang for a long time before Phillip picked it up.
"Hello."
Ann was anxious, "Daisy is not in her apartment. Can you tell me where your friend lives? Or, can I trouble you to ask your friend where he took Daisy?"
Phillip's clear and deep eyes were fixed on Ann who was not far away.
He observed every subtle expression on her face, listened to her anxious voice. But there was invisible darkness in the bottom of his eyes.
After a long time, Ann did not get a reply and she suspected that there was something wrong with her phone. Phillip responded faintly.
"I see."
Then, he hung up.
Ann stared at her phone.
She was still thinking about the meaning of Phillip's words.
She thought, 'Tell me the address!'
But soon, she received a text message on her phone.
Phillip sent Ann the address of Todd.
Ann thanked him and quickly stopped a taxi to rush to the address.
Phillip stared at the two words "thank you" on his phone. His deep eyes narrowed.
After a while, his thin lips curved into a self-mocking smile. He turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator to the extreme, and entered the crowded traffic.
As Todd did not know the password to Daisy's house, he could only bring Daisy to his house.
Todd looked at Daisy's flushed face, her drunken eyes, and her delicate red lips. He could not help but want to lower his head to kiss her. He kissed her as a reward for saving her today. Daisy, who was clearly drunk and in a daze, suddenly sat up and looked straight at him.
Todd felt upset as he looked at Daisy, wondering if Daisy was actually not drunk.
Daisy frowned. She suddenly slapped Todd on the face.
The sound was extremely loud.
Todd had no time to react, and the other side of his face was slapped.
The corners of Todd's mouth twitched as he stared at Daisy. He said, "Don't think that just because I have a bit of interest in you, you can casually hit me. I also beat women!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Todd felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
Daisy's pretty face was cold, her slender long leg still maintaining the posture of kicking.
She thought, 'After bullying my mother, you want to bully my friend? None of you men are good guys!'
Todd's handsome face was ashen. Just as he was about to say something, Daisy closed her eyes, as if she was completely drunk.
Todd leaned against the edge of the bed for a while. He saw that Daisy, who was lying on the bed, seemed to be really drunk at this time. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to return the beating he had just received.
However, when he saw her sleeping face with a frown, his eyes softened and he retracted his hand.
He mumbled, "Woman, what nonsense are you talking about? You tore off my arm and slapped me. What you did must be repaid by yourself!"☐☐☐☐
