The room was very quiet with just the two people sitting on the sofa. Jane contacted the housekeeper.The housekeeper had yet to arrive. She and the man sat on the sofa while waiting. The man sat silently, looking straight at her with his eyes… He had been staring at her for the better part of an hour.However, no.No meant no.She could not relent.It would be fine as long as she did not see his pleading eyes. No matter how he was behaving now, his coldness and cruelty from those past decades had already been etched in her mind.Looking at the same face, Jane did not think she could be amnesiac and forget about the past.She had made up her mind to send him away. She just had to wait for Elior to take him away.She would not have that inexpressible feeling in her heart.As time went by bit by bit, she raised her wrist for the third time and glanced at her watch. Beside her, the pair of burning eyes almost scorched her to bits.She only turned her head away, allowing the ma
While they were taking the elevator down, Jane looked at the man behind her. For a moment, she thought that something must be wrong with her head.Just like that, he had badgered her into agreeing to take him out.The clothes he was wearing were from yesterday. As he dried his clothes and shoes and put them on, she was a little worried about being recognized. "Lower your head."When the man saw her turn, he obediently stuck his head in front of her, revealing the back of his head. Still, she had to tiptoe a little to pull the hood of his jacket on. "When we get to the supermarket later, no running around and don't pull your hood off.""All right." Jane felt a little relieved when the man nodded heavily.He followed Jane and opened the passenger door of the car before getting in.He also followed what Jane did when he saw her fastening her seatbelt.Jane put on a straight face all the way, angry with herself for loosening her tongue. Why did she agree to him?She wanted to be an
When they were back from the supermarket, Jane was poker-faced all the way.Her car stopped in the underground parking lot. The man willingly carried the daily necessities when they got off the car.It was originally supposed to be a simple trip to buy some necessities, but after taking him there, she got...Jane looked at the heap of items with a poker face.She really felt that nodding her head and agreeing to take him to the supermarket was the biggest mistake she could make.The man, wi
“I don't like the pink bunny slippers you picked out for me.“I don't like kitty toothbrushes, not to mention the water glass.“I was lying to you about the pink bunny slippers!"She said at the end, louder and louder, and at last, she was almost shouting at him.Anger and discomfort.This anger and discomfort had come so suddenly and so unreasonably as well!Jane's cheeks were red as she stared at him angrily. The man was so stunned by her roar that he fell on one knee and looked at her w
The house was moderately soundproof. After a while, she heard a tinkle in the living room. Suddenly, she remembered the mess she saw that morning. She instantly had a bad presentiment. She propped herself up, her feet still weak. Supported by the wall, she walked slowly toward the living room.Standing at the corner of the living room, she was prepared for the worst—a visit to the supermarket again would be needed, perhaps.Instead of the ghastly images that flashed through her mind, the man w
Jane watched him finish the bowl of noodles with a bitter look on his face. He even finished the soup and stole a wary glance at her. He thought she could not guess at the slightest idea.Standing up slowly, Jane picked up the dishes on the table."Don't move, Janey.""I'll do the dishes.""Not Janey, Sean will do it," he said as he rushed to wash the dishes.Jane looked on in horror. It was really not a good idea to let Sean do the dishes. However, fortunately, this time they did not turn
This had happened before. She remembered that this man had done the same for her, and she instinctively avoided it. "I don't need it," Jane said coldly.The next moment, she could not move. The man sat behind her, his hands and feet around her. "Janey, don't move. You're not a good girl if you sleep without blowing your hair dry first. Dos said we must blow our hair dry before we sleep and be good."Janey, why are you moving again?"Jeez, Janey, we're almost ready."Janey's the best."It to
"What... are you doing?" she asked, looking more puzzled.In the bedroom, with a loud "hmm", the man lifted the blanket on the floor. He got in and lied down, deliberately turning his back to her."Who told you to sleep here?" she asked coldly, annoyed.The man was silent at first. She got so mad that she was breathless and said in a stern voice, "Sleep outside, Sean Stewart."The man, still silent with his back against her, lied on the ground before her bed. His back was as firm as a rock,
