Chapter 933: Chapter 912: Let Me Take You In!

This guy is obviously not made of stone!

Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Rio finally let out a sigh of relief, "Since there’s nothing wrong, let’s send her home, it won’t take long!"

Senna’s big eyes twinkled as she blinked at him, then nodded, turned around, and pulled out her phone from her pocket, intending to call for the family driver to pick her up. However, before she could make the call, Rio snatched the phone away from her.

"You can’t talk and still you’re trying to make a call!" Rio’s face turned stern as he grabbed her small hand and began to pull her outside, "Come on, follow me!"

Senna didn’t immediately grasp what he meant and let him pull her along. She saw him look back and say to Roy, "Brother-in-law, please take Dad home in a car from Uncle Lucas’s place!"

Without waiting for Roy’s response, he pulled Senna straight out the door!

The driver was already waiting outside, and it was only when Rio pulled Senna into the back seat of the car that she realized he was taking her home. Her eyes widened in disbelief, "You... you’re taking me home?"

Although speaking was still painful, her excitement got the better of her, and she couldn’t help but speak out. This excitement caused a slight tug in her throat, her eyebrows furrowed tightly with pain, but she still managed to bear it as beads of sweat formed densely on her forehead.

"I just told you, if you can’t talk, then don’t talk. Why do you take my words as if they’re nothing?" Rio’s face darkened instantly, but quickly, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and began to gently wipe her sweat, "How old are you, always following men around shamelessly, let alone not knowing any shame, but can’t you even take care of yourself?"

"Senna, a girl should act like a girl. I don’t expect you to be too ladylike, but at the very least, can you not hurt yourself?"

Senna: "..."

She was scolded at length with a very stern tone, and there was even a clear hint of disdain, yet his actions were gentle. Senna couldn’t utter a single word, just lowered her head, nervously clutched her white dress, and didn’t dare look up at him.

Throughout the evening, he had scolded her several times, but tonight she heard him say more words than all the words he’d spoken to her since they met combined. Clearly, she had angered him. At this point, it was better for her to remain silent!

"Don’t you dare be so reckless again; I don’t have enough hearts to be scared like this by you. If this keeps happening, I am bound to end up with a nervous breakdown!"

Senna: "..."

What does that mean?

"You... don’t hate me anymore?"

This time, she spoke very slowly, so it was alright. The fish bone had been removed, and the wound had been treated. Lucas’s medications were always top-quality and fast-acting, so as long as she didn’t get agitated, she’d heal up slowly, "So..."

"Even if I hate you, can you stay away from me?" Before she could continue, Rio interrupted her impatiently, "If you can’t speak, then shut up!"

It was already slightly painful to speak, but added to that the question he asked - even if I hate you, can you stay away from me?

That miserable mood rushed in instantly.

"From now on, I will keep my distance from you. I understand your feelings now!"

Actually, after tonight’s events, Senna had come to a realization - Rio genuinely did not like her, not even the slightest possibility of it. If it weren’t for the sake of his parents, he probably wouldn’t have even considered letting her stay for dinner!

His instruction to have the driver take her home just confirmed it. She had made up her mind when she sneaked in - to make one last effort. It was impolite to burst into a home and confess in front of the parents, but she was prepared for the outcome whether it was love or hate!

Clearly, she belonged to the latter category, but fortunately, he was at least left with a deep impression!

One day in the future, he would at least remember that during the most beautiful years of youth, a bold and brave girl once pursued him in that manner!

Even though she failed, at least she had done her utmost for the first boy who stirred her heart when she was young and knew what it meant to like someone.

Even without a future, there was a past.

Youth is wasted on the young if they do not embrace their craziness. She had had her wild times, and left her mark during her youthful years, so now, it was time to let go.

"I..."

What Rio Gordon actually wanted to say was that he didn’t need her to deliberately avoid him, but no matter what, he couldn’t speak those words, and what came out instead was, "Just don’t cling to me."

In the end, he added, "After all, we still need to prioritize our studies right now!"

To him, studies or not, they were much like a hobby of interest, but now, after what had happened tonight, after she had been crying in front of his family, he could not find any other excuse to say such words.

Rio Gordon realized that now he couldn’t even utter a word of cruelty!

The high wall he had built against her seemed to be wavering, even on the verge of collapse. Rio thought that perhaps all men couldn’t stand to see a woman in tears, and he hoped it would all be better after some time.

What he didn’t anticipate was that in the days to follow, this girl who used to stick to him upon seeing him now seemed to see him as a demon, avoiding him at all costs, and as soon as she saw him approaching, she would steer clear before he could get near!

Of course, that was all in the future, and at this moment, Rio Gordon naturally could not understand the weight of her words that she would not bother him anymore.

"Hmm, I’ll study hard and won’t disturb your studies either!"

Senna Leon nodded vigorously. The car stopped at the entrance of the Leon family’s house, and as soon as it stopped, the young girl hurriedly pushed the door open and got out: "Thanks for taking me back. I’ll go in now!"

"Let me walk you inside."

Although she didn’t say it, Rio Gordon still got out of the car, then walked over to her and said, "It’s late, and you’re coming back alone with a wound. Your mother is definitely going to scold you!"

The Leon family is renowned and does have certain expectations for their daughters!

Especially at night!

At least the Gordon family has certain expectations for their two girls; it’s not appropriate for them to linger outside without company, so even if Chani Gordon were to chase after a boy she liked, she would have a bodyguard with her.

"No need, I can go in by myself, Mom doesn’t..."

"Senna, there you are. Where on earth have you been? You had your phone off and didn’t even call home. Do you know how worried Mom has been?"

Senna Leon hadn’t finished speaking when someone heard the car and came bursting out of the house, and upon seeing her, they excitedly pulled the young girl into an embrace!
