She Became Rich After Divorce novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383: We're Even

"Mmm... Ah, Cheyenne... Easy now."

"Hiss...."

"Mmm, ah..."

In the dark night, a blurry black head could be faintly seen buried against his chest.

As she cleaned his wounds, her soft, damp lips... brushed against him in an instant.

Kelvin's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Her cool, smooth cheek rubbed against his chest, causing an indescribable sensation, as if an electric current had passed through, sending shivers down his spine.

Cheyenne's ear was also pressed close to his chest, listening to his heartbeat, causing her face to grow warm.

With a bit of impatience, she lifted her head and glared at him, "Kelvin, why the hell are you making such annoying noises? Even slaughtering chickens isn't as unpleasant as your whining!"

Kelvin wryly smiled and helplessly replied, "It's not my fault, your tongue licked..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Cheyenne's face turned even hotter, and she retorted angrily, "You think I want to? You're covered in blood and sweat, and I have to use my teeth to remove the needle!"

"It wasn't intentional."

As she said the last sentence, her tone betrayed a hint of guilt.

But it really wasn't intentional.

He didn't respond and silently broke into a dazzling smile in the darkness.

Kelvin couldn't help but think inwardly: How come he never noticed before that Cheyenne could be so adorable...

Suddenly, a faint sigh sounded from above their heads, and he said, "Cheyenne, if I really die here, I'll have to repay you in my next life for everything I owe you."

Hesitating for a second at his words, her voice turned cold as she replied, "You're dreaming. In my next life, I don't want to meet you again."

Didn't want to meet him?

Kelvin felt an indescribable sense of loss, "I see..."

Omari, Iker, Eddie, who were by her side, seemed to treat her really well.

If he were to truly die, Cheyenne wouldn't be sad either.

"Shut up, don't disturb me. The needle is already very thin, and since I can't see it, if I accidentally bite you, I won't take responsibility."

"Mmm."

It took a lot of effort for her to use her teeth to pull the broken needle out. Cheyenne wiped her lips and her cheeks felt sore.

"You've been through a lot, thank you..."

Suddenly he earnestly thanked her, and Cheyenne felt a bit at a loss. Even though she knew he couldn't see her, she turned her head away.

In a casual tone, she said, "Don't overthink it. I hate owing favors the most. Once we're out of this door, we'll be even."

Hearing her indifferent voice, Kelvin felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Even now they were even...

But he didn't want to be even with her.

Time passed slowly, and they lost count of how many times they woke up in this extremely quiet and dim space.

Never had they felt such tranquility in life.

The hunger pangs in their stomachs became unbearable. Cheyenne rested against the wall, closing her eyes to conserve energy.

"Gurgle..."

Although the Lawrence family in Akloit may not be a top-tier family, they were still influential and well-respected. Even families with average income wouldn't go hungry, so how could she, as a Lawrence family heiress, have experienced frequent hunger?

From the information he gathered, whether it was the school teachers or the neighbors, everyone seemed to describe her as arrogant, rebellious, and academically ignorant...

A person like that wouldn't have led such a miserable life.

Cheyenne leaned her head against the wall and chuckled softly. "You find it hard to believe, don't you? I once tried to disappear completely. I hid in a warehouse, hoping that someone would come looking for me."

"But... three days passed, and no one came."

"That was the first time I experienced what hunger truly felt like. It turns out I wasn't as important as I thought."

"The second time, Malaya, George and their daughter went on a trip and left nothing for me. I was so hungry that I had to climb through a window to steal cake from the neighbor's kid."

"I felt satisfied watching him cry. All I remembered was the sweetness of the cake. Who cared if he shed tears?"

"I also tried running away from home. In the dead of winter, I went to sleep under a bridge, worrying that it might collapse and crush me when a car passed overhead."

"The bridge didn't collapse, but that night was bitterly cold, and the weather forecast mentioned sleet... Just when I thought I was going to freeze to death, he suddenly appeared and saved me."

I once thought he was you...

"I admit I'm not a good person. I've stolen things from children, pickpocketed wealthy people on ships, and deliberately cut the skirts of those well-bred ladies to make them embarrassed in public."

She chuckled at her self-deprecation and continued, "Kelvin, it's normal for you to look down on me... Compared to your Miss Berry, I am indeed full of flaws."

Kelvin had never known that she had lived such a difficult life.

He thought Cheyenne's personality was the result of being spoiled at home... Her birth mother died early, and her father was busy with the company business. She never considered her stepmother important.

But it turned out not to be the case.

Now it seemed that Malaya had never truly cared for Cheyenne.
