Bewitched His Soul

Chapter 141 - 140

Luckily they need not walk very far and found some fruits .Daniel first checked whether they are suitable for consumption and not something poisonous. Only one type of fruit was edible so he started plucking them.

"I don't like this fruit ,"Evelyn complained.

"Evelyn , be happy that you got something to eat .Otherwise you can starve till we reach home ,"Daniel said sternly.

"I will have it ,"Evelyn lowered eyes.

Daniel passed half of the fruits to her and started eating the rest.

"Don't you know how to peel it ,"Daniel asked as she was struggling from past five minutes.

"I know but my nails will get ruined,"Evelyn lovingly looked at her nails.

"I seriously cannot understand how your brain works ,"Daniel shook his head.

"Can you peel and give me ,"Evelyn asked.

"How about I feed you ,"Daniel roared.

"No need ,"Evelyn hissed.

Daniel finished eating but Evelyn has still not ate one .Since he could not afford to waste time he snatched the fruits from her hand and started peeling them.

"Here eat it ,"Daniel forwarded the fruits.

"Hmm, its tastes better than I excepted, "Evelyn ate everything quickly.

"Obviously its fresh from tress ,"Daniel said.

They kept on wandering but there was no luck. Neither did they meet any people nor did they find out the way to get out of this forest .Daniel has visited lot of forests before for work and every time he  easily found the way back but this time even he was feeling lost and unable to trace any path in this dense forest.

"Can we rest for some time ,I don't think I can walk anymore ,"Evelyn stated.

Daniel looked around and noticed that the sun was about to set .In the dark it was not safe to travel with Evelyn , she had already injured her leg and now it's impossible to continue the journey as she may get hurt or feel scared because at the night time the forest was such a creepy place not knowing what can happen in the next second.

"I think we can call it night, tomorrow morning we will continue our quest ,"Daniel replied.

"You mean to say whole day was a  waste .I cannot say here anymore I want to go home ,"Evelyn stomped  her foot.

"Well it's not like I am enjoying here ,"Daniel spoke .

Evelyn was thinking if her assistant has informed the authorities why have they still not reached here .Its already more than 24 hours ,how can they be so ineffective. Are they not worried about her safety not only was she having trouble surviving in the forest but Daniel was a huge pain in the ass. This  mood swings kept on alerting every few minutes and she should be careful to never get on his bad side .

Daniel went to gather the fallen tree twigs and Evelyn went behind him.

"Can I help you ,"Evelyn asked.

"Ya ,pick few twigs ,"Daniel replied.

Evelyn went around and searched for the smallest twigs as she tried to lift them she felt the rough edges pricking her fingers.

"Ouch ..,"Evelyn immediately let the twigs down.

"What happened, "Daniel asked.

"Every few hours I need to apply the hand cream otherwise my hands will get dry .I feel my beautiful hands will get ruined in the forest ,"Evelyn complained.

"I did not ask for such a long explanation ,"Daniel grunted.

"This twigs pricked my hand ,"Evelyn stated.

"You hold the twigs I will pick them up ,"Daniel instructed.

As soon as she took the bundle in her hand it feel quite heavy and she tried to hold it tightly but few minutes later she drooped them on the ground.

Daniel turned back and raised his brow in frustration.

"It just slipped from my hand , I will pick them now ,"Evelyn was embarrassed.

"Let it be ,instead of helping you create more problems ,"Daniel refused her.

Evelyn also felt he was right so went to stand under  a tree.

Daniel put all the twigs in the center and since he smoked frequently he had lighter in his coat from which he lit the fire.

Evelyn ran towards the fire and warmed her hands as the weather was too cold .Daniel also sat there silently trying to feel the heat .After some time he got up and sat under a tree and said ,"Now you can sleep."

"Where should I sleep ," Evelyn asked.

"Under the tree ,"Daniel replied as if she has asked a dumb question.

"What ,no way  .How can you except me to sleep on the ground .There is mud ,dirt and even some insects may be there ,"Evelyn argued.

"Well I was about to book a seven star hotel but all the rooms were full ,"Daniel mocked her.

"Daniel you know I cannot adjust ,"Evelyn bit her lip.

"You don't have any choice .The only better option is to stand the whole night,"Daniel laid down.

Evelyn gulped and accepted her fate .How she would always sleep comfortably on her soft mattress and here on this hard ground she had to manage the whole night.

As soon as she laid down she felt its worst then she excepted .It was so cold and slight wet and the leaves were falling on her making her unable to close her eyes.

Seeing Evelyn  change her sleeping positions every few seconds Daniel also could not sleep peacefully .

"Evelyn try to sleep , you are disturbing me .There is nothing to worry as no animals will come near because of the fire ,"Daniel assured her.

"Oh no , there are animals also ,"Evelyn's eyes widened .

She had totally forgotten about the animals as she was worried about the cleanliness of this place. Daniel understood that he had made things worse . Now she was bothered about the hygiene as well as the animals.

"Sleep its just few hours .As soon as the sun rises we will continue our journey ,"Daniel stated.

"Okay ..,"Evelyn tried to be brave and every few seconds she kept on checking whether Daniel was opposite to her.

"Don't worry ,I am not going anywhere , ,"Daniel said feeling her gaze on him.

"Are you sure because you  already dislike me so think this as a good  opportunity to get rid of me ,"Evelyn stated.
