Chapter 29: Black imprints
VALENCIA’S POV
I thought I would hear a scolding and a series of colorful words for my actions, but to my surprise, what I heard next was a loud laughter from Dylan.
"Hahaha... I can’t believe my eyes. Did the almighty Carl get bashed?" Dylan said, his voice was full of amusement, and I daringly walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as I reached there, my eyes met Carl’s angry and annoyed ones, and I felt even more awkward.
"Carl, you have grown into a fine man. I totally couldn’t recognize you," I said to ease the tension between us, and he rolled his eyes before looking at his hands and I coughed to hide my embarrassment.
Of course, I need to untie him.
Glaring at Dylan, who was still rolling on the ground, enjoying the miseries of his cousin, I stepped ahead and removed the gag from Carl’s mouth before untying him.
’Hey! Will anyone tell me what’s happening? Dylan? Valencia?’
We heard the distant voice and realized that I had forgotten to end the call when I saw Dylan.
"Let me give you some ice pack," I said to Carl while Dylan finally stopped laughing and walked out to talk to his father on my behalf.
As I gave Carl an ice pack, I could hear Dylan having the time of his life while telling his uncle everything that happened.
