The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 160 - Visit To Wyatt Manor (5)

Cecilia's face was red and she had been gulping saliva down her throat more than required only to stop herself from crying. The castle that she had built in the air burst like a bubble. From the corner of her eyes she saw that Dawn had put her hands on Daryn's thigh possessively and was squeezing it. To her horror, Daryn placed his hand on hers and grasped it. Slowly he brought it to his bulge and made her massage him there. Cecilia was aghast. Her mouth dropped to the floor. She saw that Dawn wanted to remove her hand but he continued to grab it hard and she couldn't lift it. She continued to stare at the activity when suddenly Daryn looked at her. Was he doing this on purpose just to show her? He made Dawn massage slightly more under her gaze. Embarrassed as hell, she quickly turned her face away.

When Dawn finally removed her hand from Daryn's thigh, she wiped her face. She had a huge grin on her face. This was one of the best moments she had had in so many days. She bit her lip and said looking at him affectionately, "I love you, Daryn."

Daryn turned, cupped her face and said gazing intensely into her eyes, "I love you more," and planted a kiss on her lips. Then he looked at Lily and said, "I am so thankful that you got a granddaughter like Dawn. Otherwise what would have happened to me? I would have died without a wife!"

Cecilia couldn't help commenting, "It's not that other girls are dead. One less doesn't make a difference."

Daryn's face darkened. His expressions turned murderous. The temperature of the surroundings dropped twenty degrees and the place became stifling. David's face became ashen white. He coughed and said, "Cecilia is just a small girl. She doesn't understand things."

Dawn could sense Daryn's emotions, which were like a thunderstorm before lightning. She changed the subject. "Where's Cole?"

"I told you, he's in his room. My butler has already sent the food to him, so he must be eating there," said Lily. Then she leaned her elbows on the table and placed her chin over her hands. "Why don't you leave Cole here for tonight? I will drop him back to your home tomorrow morning," she suggested in a soft voice. "It's been long since this house has seen Cole and I would also love to catch up with him." She looked at Daryn and added, "You both can have a free night together with Cole over here."

"Cole's never been a hurdle in our so called free nights," Daryn answered. He guffawed. Then he faced Dawn and repeated, "Let us hurry up darling. I am sorry that I can't wait for the rest to finish." In fact Daryn didn't have a meeting. All he wanted was to give that envelope to her family and get out of there. With the way they all had behaved, he didn't want Dawn to stay any longer.

"Sure," said Dawn. She bowed to the rest of them and said a polite thank you before getting up. "I am going to fetch Cole."

Lily interjected again. "Dawn, haven't you heard me? Can't you leave him over here for today? Don't I, as his Grandmother, have an iota of custody over him?" She sounded pretty angry.

Dawn couldn't understand as to why was Lily showing her dominion over Cole to the extent that she was becoming possessive. It was possible that after so many years, her love for her Grandson surfaced. "I— I— let me ask Cole if he wants to stay back."

"You don't have to!" Lily cut her in again much to her surprise. "I will inform him. Besides Mr. Silver is in a hurry to leave."

Dawn rubbed the back of her neck. She looked at Lily and then with hesitation said, "Okay, just send him back tomorrow morning. He has a lot of homework to do."

A smile spread on Lily's lips. Her plan was working smoothly. This Dawn was such an emotional fool, just like her mother. She would never let Cole meet her ever again and she would make sure that Cole flew off to Switzerland tomorrow. All arrangements were already made. She had been so particular in the arrangements that she had even asked Helena to arrange for goons to kill Dawn once she leaves the Wyatt Manor. With Cole in her custody, she didn't have a care in the world.

"I will send him tomorrow morning. Don't worry," she said in a warm voice.

Daryn held Dawn's hand and the family walked with them to the portico where the car was parked. Daryn looked at his watch. He was getting impatient. He looked behind to wait for Neal. "Now where's Neal?" he asked in an irritated voice.

Dawn also looked towards the door. "He must be washing his hands," she chuckled knowing what a neat-freak Neal was.

Lily narrowed her eyes at her again, willing them to leave as soon as possible. She glanced at Helena, who nodded and left. She had to instruct her men to carry out the orders. They had to take Dawn out and shoot her.

Suddenly, Neal came out and he was seen carrying Cole in his arms. Dawn's eyes became wide with shock. "What happened to Cole?"

Lily was stunned. Her body froze and her mind stopped working.

Neal said, "Open the car. Cole is not well. We have to take him to the hospital."

Daryn opened the car immediately and Neal made Cole sleep in the back seat. Dawn hopped in and she placed Cole's head in her lap.

Lily Wyatt broke into sweat. She wiped her face with her frail hand. "I think he is only sleeping," she said. All her plans that she had meticulously made ever since she had called Dawn to her house were getting sabotaged right in front of her eyes and she couldn't say a word. "I told you to leave him here, Dawn. I am going to drop him tomorrow." She gave a last try.

But the way Dawn looked at her, it made her quiet.

Anne and David looked as stunned as possible. They didn't know of Lily's plans.

"You should take him to the hospital," said David. "His face is pale."

Lily wanted to slap David. If they took him to the hospital, it would be easy to investigate that she had drugged him and she might go to jail. "The child is simply sleeping! Stop disturbing my Grandson!" she chided them. Then she looked at Dawn and said, "You are so cold-hearted. Cole is sleeping. You have completely ignored his comfort. I want him to stay here, but you have disregarded that too. What kind of a sister are you? I am ashamed of you!"

"And I am ashamed of you," Dawn replied with hatred, and Daryn started the car. They sped off.

Neal took his hand out of the window and poked his middle finger up in the air at Lily.

Lily stumbled back.

"That was intelligent Neal," said Dawn. "If you hadn't been so inquisitive about Cole, I wouldn't have asked you to go and find him."

Neal had mentally asked them to go and find Cole. He suspected the way Lily talked.

"Your Grandmother is a vicious woman," he replied. "Let's go to the hospital!"
