Avery said, "Darlene, just this once, I will be more careful."
Avery could not control his emotions and was anxious to prove that he was different from Gustave.
Avery thought at least he could have sex with Darlene lawfully while Gustave could not.
When Avery's voice fell into Darlene's ears, Darlene shivered. A sudden chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She only felt cold.
Darlene thought, it is Avery after all. He has never truly been soft-hearted to me.
Even if Avery clearly knows my physical condition and that I'm about to die, he would still not let me go.
Fear overcame her anger. Darlene turned pale and reached back for the car door.
Thinking that the car door must have been locked, Darlene clutched the edge of the seat under her, trying to move up and free herself.
Just as Darlene's feet moved up, Avery's knees pressed against her calf, and she could not move.
