BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 - 22 Cleo 2
She couldn’t see anything in the darkness.
Purple Summers furrowed her brow in confusion, bent down, and touched something cold and slippery…
She didn’t dare to breathe and continued to feel upwards, thick… smooth… soft…
Suddenly, it moved!
Purple Summers’ legs went weak, and she fell on her butt!
– Damn it! It’s a snake!
Why would someone keep a snake in their room?!
The slippery and wet sensation made Purple Summers’ scalp tingle! All her body hair stood on end!
This wasn’t just any snake; it was a boa constrictor! And it was slowly climbing up her calf at this very moment
Purple Summers froze, biting her lip and trying to control her instinct to scream out loud. She gently and slowly moved her hand to push it away…
Her movements were extremely gentle and slow.
Yet just as she managed to push the snake’s tail away, its head returned, making Purple Summers want to cry!
She had just been reborn; was she going to be bitten and killed by a snake?!
With no other choice, Purple Summers could only remain sitting on the ground, motionless, hoping the boa constrictor would leave on its own.
The snake lazily slithered around her body, sometimes hissing, scaring her so much that she held her breath. When the last part of the snake’s body finally slid off her, Purple Summers couldn’t take it anymore and, with her back against the wall, began to move to the side!
She was terrified of disturbing the huge creature again, so she moved very gently, but her heart was pounding wildly!
The room was dark and quiet, with cool air from the air conditioner carrying humidity.
Her eyes couldn’t see anything clearly in the darkness, only vaguely discerning the outline of the boa constrictor.
What a massive snake!
Purple Summers couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the shadow in the darkness.
At that moment, the snake seemed to sniff her scent and began to slither towards her with its flicking tongue!
Purple was scared out of her wits and hurriedly retreated a few more steps, only to lose her balance and fall back onto the bed with a loud thud!
For an instant, she smelled a faint scent of tobacco mixed with cold masculinity.
Purple closed her eyes, her mind racing, and immediately guessed the identity of the room’s owner…
There were only three men in the house———————— Nathaniel Summers had no such
habit, Dylan Summers wouldn’t be awake this late, so it could only be Alexander Summers!
She should have thought of it earlier!
But she couldn’t worry about that now because there was still a menacing boa constrictor under the bed!
Purple quickly dove under the covers and wrapped herself up tightly, head to toe. Then, she curled up on the bed, not daring to move.
The man beside her had already woken up when Purple Summers fell onto the bed. He stared blankly for a moment, propped up on his elbows, and gazed at the trembling lump on the bed in the darkness.
Worried that he would kick her out, Purple clutched the blanket tightly and spoke from beneath it, “Brother, it’s me!”
Alexander’s eyes flashed with surprise, and after a long silence, he furrowed his brows and turned back to switch on the bedside lamp. He asked softly, “How did you end up on my bed? Get down.”
The lump in the blanket shuddered, and Purple Summers’ half head emerged from it. Her clear, watery eyes shone like a spring, reflecting the orange glow of the lamp. Like a frightened deer in the woods, she looked bewildered and charming.
Alexander couldn’t help but hold his breath.
“Brother…” Purple Summers pulled the blanket tight, her voice somewhat pitiful, “Could you…get rid of it first?”
Following her gaze, Alexander spotted the lazy boa constrictor on the floor.
With the corner of his mouth hooked, his ink-black eyes seemed to smile as he said, “Cleo is not your pet? How did you manage to forget so quickly?”
