Chapter 4: Coming home

Dylan's POV

I pushed open the door to enter the house, not expecting that the password of the house had been changed, making me struggle for a long time. Suddenly, a number popped into my head, which was the date I saw in that photo. Sure enough, after entering four digits of the date, the door opened, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

The future 'me' seems to love Bernie very much, otherwise, I wouldn't have set the password so revealing. I secretly clicked my tongue, I really wanted to hide from this truth and hope that, as soon as I woke up, everything will return to the way it was. That way I won't have to deal with this nameless trouble!

The house was empty, except for a few items such as tables and chairs, television, and kitchen utensils, there was nothing left. Seems like I never thought I would have to come back here. Do I trust Bernie's feelings like that?

The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, so I banged my head against the wall hoping to ease the pain. I don't know if I prayed sincerely or for some other reason, but the pain subsided, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I took off the duster, and immediately the dust flew all over the house, the dust rose up and made me cough. I took a step back but tripped over the edge of the table.

I staggered to my feet, and for some reason, Bernie's voice popped into my head.

"Dylan, you have to be a little more careful from now on. Don't hurt our baby."

Instinctively, I used my hand to cover my slightly raised belly, fortunately under my butt was a thick carpet. Although the carpet was dusty, at least it didn't cause me to fall. Only then did I realize that my forehead was drenched with sweat. I awkwardly clung to the arm of the chair, then sat down.

“Do you want to eat mango cake?”

It seemed to me that I heard Bernie's voice again, his voice was so indulgent like he wanted to give me everything good. I quickly shook my head to clear the mess.

If there is no furniture outside the living room, then the bedroom must have been cleaned. I looked at the clock for a moment, it was still too early, and the sudden sleepiness brought tears to my eyes. Thinking for a while, in the end, I still leaned back on the sofa. Unexpectedly, this time I slept for more than three hours.

Waiting until I woke up from a dream, there was a knock on the door outside. I jumped in anticipation and looked around, then patted my head again.

“What am I doing?”

The person at the door is definitely Bernie, I can guess without opening the door. I wanted to ignore him but then the bell rang so loudly, my head started to get dizzy again. I was tired, dragging my body to the main door.

“It's you, Dylan. I'm here to take you home!"

After asking the person at the door, Bernie's voice rang out. The three words "take you home" stimulate my heart, making it jump without a beat. It's like a warm spring is warming my heart. I put my hand on my chest, feeling its rhythm.

I remained silent, nodding my head. I don't know what to answer, I still can't think straight, and my head is still a mess like a skein of wool. At that quiet moment, I felt like I could feel Bernie's inner panic. I am soft-hearted.

“Bernie, can you go home first?” I sighed, softly saying, “I… I need time to think!”

I know Bernie overheard, but he doesn't seem to want to return as evidenced by his unsightly facial expression above the monitor. He gasped, growling, “Dylan, what do you want to think about? Can you tell me? We'll work it out together!"

I froze, of course, Bernie's words make sense, because now he and I are lovers, but I can't accept it comfortably. I wanted to cut Bernie off, but I heard him say again: “I know you're listening, Dylan! Quickly open the door, or I don't know what I'll do!"

I've only been silent for a few minutes, Bernie has become so frantic that it freaks me out. I leaned back, and the image of our high school days flashed in my mind. Bernie once beat a boy to the point of a nosebleed, I don't know why. Just know that he pissed off Bernie.

I happened to pass by, and at that moment, Bernie raised his head to look at me. Sharp eyes filled with fresh blood, my numb body was tightly held by invisible forces. Sometimes in my dreams, I will also wake up from those fierce eyes. Now that I've seen that look again, I've been imagining countless scenes in my head of how Bernie would eat me.

That mythical thought sent me back to the sofa. I hugged my knees, sitting still so that I could calm down. After a long time, when my legs were tired, I remembered, Bernie was still sitting outside. I pursed my lips, my eyelids drooped slightly, and finally stood up and opened the door.

I saw Bernie leaning against the wall, looking like a dog abandoned by his owner, pitiful. Perhaps the memory in my head rose, and I grieve for him. As soon as he saw me, Bernie quickly stood up, his eyes unable to hide his joy. I watched him stagger to the wall and then move closer to me.

“Dylan, you finally opened the door to meet me!” Bernie said, his hand wanted to touch me but was discovered and dodged by me. This is just my instinctive reaction but somehow I feel a little guilty especially when faced with Bernie's lossy gaze.

I took a deep breath and said, “Bernie, I…”

But before I could finish my words, Bernie quickly moved on. He hugged me tightly, and his arms tightened as if he was afraid I would disappear. Bernie's breath on the back of my neck, he's smelling it makes me shiver. Two streams of fear and attachment intertwined, I could hardly push Bernie away.

"Dylan, Dylan, you're driving me crazy!"

As if to prove it, Bernie even bit my neck hard. The pain came so suddenly. Bernie bit me for a long time, I felt like I was going to cry because of the pain so I could only groan.

I said hoarsely, "Pain, Bernie, you're hurting me!"

Looks like Bernie hasn't completely lost his mind, he retracted his damn fang and then backed away. I didn't need to look in the mirror to know that my neck was now stained with pale blood. It's just that, before I could recover, Bernie used his soft, wet tongue to lick my wound.

I widened my eyes, unable to believe this silly act of Bernie. I wanted to push Bernie away, but I heard his voice choking as if he was about to cry.

“Sorry, Dylan. I was too scared, sorry for hurting you!”

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to stroke Bernie's slightly messy hair. Because right now, poor Bernie is so bad, I can't mercilessly push him away. I froze, embarrassed to cover my thoughts, then raised my hand to cover where Bernie had just kissed and licked.

My neck and face heat up, and there's a flash of unsolicited images of me and Bernie in my head. Apparently, Bernie used to bite and lick me like that before. The more I think about it, the hotter I get. I want to run inside the house so I don't have to look at Bernie's face anymore.

My eyes are so watery, I don't know what to do now.

“Bernie, you… how could you do that?” I choked, finally sobbing.

I understand what doctors say when women are pregnant, emotions fluctuate like mine right now. I don't know the reason, but I feel extremely sorry and unjust, I want to scold Bernie but I can't speak.

Finally, Bernie still holds me gently in his lap. This time, I didn't dodge. In Bernie's lap, I smell the familiar scent in the memory, and the insecurities and confusion of the day also gradually subsided. I went from sobbing to crying.

We were standing in front of the house, I knew how embarrassing it would be to cry loudly, but I couldn't control it. I cried so hard I couldn't breathe, and in my confusion, I felt a gentle hand running down my spine.

“Don't cry, honey. You cry like this, I feel my heart will be broken!"

Words of comfort fell in my ears, and I felt that Bernie wanted to kiss me but didn't dare. He knew my feelings weren't right, so he became even more careful with me. That makes it easy for me to calm down. I stopped crying and pulled away from Bernie's hug.

I turned around and stole away the tears that were still on my face. I left Bernie a shadow, “Come in. Bernie, I have something to tell you!"

Having said that, I didn't wait for Bernie, but went in and sat on the sofa first. The living room only had a few sofas, which I cleaned up before opening the door. After the door closed, Bernie's footsteps approached, and he chose to sit in the small chair to the right of me.

“Dylan, what happened with you today?”

Waiting for me to be no more confused, Bernie asked. I turned around, facing Bernie's hurtful, concerned gaze. I can only grit my teeth and shake my head: "Nothing happened!"

After a pause, I continued: “Sorry, Bernie. I seem to have lost my memory!”

I feel like our relationship is messed up!" Before I could finish, Bernie slapped the table, angrily interrupting."Messed up? Dylan, what do you mean by that?" Bernie's eyes are bloodshot, and he angrily approaches me: "You tease me, seduce me, then say that our feelings are just a mess? Dylan, you're so cruel!"Bernie hissed every now and then, and even though he tried to control himself, I could tell he was angry. But this time I was not as soft as before. I bluntly faced Bernie, saying: "Bernie, you are so hot-tempered! I said I lost my memory!"Bernie paused a second, but he stubbornly said, “Lost your memory? Maybe it's just an excuse to deceive me!"I don't understand what Bernie is thinking, but I know he has grown to trust me and just wants to oppose me. I narrow my eyes and smile, "Bernie, I can't be

    Bernie's POVThere was a rattling noise upstairs, that made it difficult for me to calm down. I discovered that Dylan hadn't listened to me to rest for a while when I stepped into the house again. On the contrary, since she had almost finished cleaning up, I could only helplessly step into the kitchen to prepare dinner. A flash of years ago flashed through my mind, and the corners of my lips couldn't help but smile. If Dylan had listened to me, it wouldn't have been the Dylan I know.The office was knocked loudly. I raised my eyebrows and raised my head, not in a good mood."What happens?" My voice was heavier than ever, as if the person standing outside also noticed, she could only speak."Mr. White, today there are resumes of some excellent candidates." The speaker just now was my assistant, Emma.“Bring it in!” I leaned back tiredly on the back of the chair.Emma pushed open the door and stepped inside. I could clearly see that her stomach had swelled slightly. I was a bit lost, Em

Tomorrow morning, go to the company and go to the 23rd floor to find Mrs. Emma to discuss more work.”“Ah!!”I jumped for joy, then immediately called my mother."Mom!"I happily spoke up as soon as my mother answered the phone. She was probably cooking dinner at this hour, and before she saw the name on the screen, she clicked to listen.“Hello… Oh, is that my baby, Dylan?”I was very reluctant when I heard this name, "How many times have I told you! I'm an adult now. Don't call me like that again, mom!"I heard rustling from the other side of the phone, and my mother smiled softly, saying, "Even if you're fifty, you're still my little boy!"Having said that, she even

I asked Emma, "What restaurant do you normally order for him?"Maybe Emma thought I wouldn't ask further, so she turned to leave. Suddenly hearing my question, Emma clearly stopped. She shook her head: "Not fixed. If not, try ordering a quick snack at a restaurant near your company. Chloe knows the phone numbers of these restaurants very well. You should ask her."After saying that, Emma hurriedly left as if she was in a hurry to do some business. I could only obediently run to ask Chloe, but she gave me a list of restaurants selling food around the company, far or near. There must have been fifty restaurants. I gasped, stunned, and dialed a phone number.Finally, I ordered two sandwiches for lunch, I wanted to order more drinks but then I didn't. Anyway, Emma had said, Bernie had a very casual lunch.

After giving the job to Dylan, I felt a bit regretful. If Dylan knew the truth, he would surely think that I was deliberately making things difficult for him.“Tch!”Never mind, he can't blame me anyway. I was just doing my job right! That thought made me much more comfortable. I calmly ate the lunch that Dylan prepared for me.The meeting just ended, and Emma went to the office to find me."Mr. White, you have a dinner date with Mr. Miller tonight." Emma flipped open the schedule: “Do you want to let Dylan study?”Emma smiled at me. I knew she was trying to match me to Dylan. I licked my parched lips, not answering Emma's question. Instead, I asked her: "Did you teach Dylan to make cocoa or not?"When Emma heard me ask that, she paused for a moment, then laughed: “Mr. CEO, he only knows how to m

Most of it is from Emma's experience, which is extremely useful to me.I nodded repeatedly, then summed it up: “How long will I have to stay in Brooklyn for this survey?”Emma thought for a moment, then said, "It could be three days. It could be a week."“It all depends on whether the other side’s project is favorable.” Emma smiled and said, “But rest assured, it won't be too hard. You just follow Mr. White. And he will tell you to do whatever you want. Maybe you will meet some customers who want to meet. At this time, just ask your boss!”I listened and took notes on my phone. Anyway, this is my first time on a business trip. Before starting the business trip, I had to research the project again, so that the survey did not have any errors.

    Bernie's POVEver since I got in the car, I've noticed Dylan nodding off to sleep, banging his head on the window every now and then. Just hearing the sound makes me feel sick for him. It's just that having banged my head against the window so much and Dylan still won't wake up. I sighed as if I wanted to shake him but in the end, I stopped.As I glanced at it, I could see that there were dark circles under Dylan's eyes. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night. I'm not a very strict boss, so I couldn't bear to wake him up. Until Dylan suddenly rested his head on my shoulder, goosebumps all over my body. I instinctively wanted to push him away, but when my hand touched the top of Dylan's head, I stopped. His hair is so soft.I hesitantly retracted my hand, trying to calm myself down a bit. Is it because I've been single for so long that Dylan can confuse me too? I immediately shook my head, but these strange actions of mine caught the driver's eyes.

I was a little startled, but I still managed to keep a calm expression on my face. I was about to drag two suitcases to the elevator but Bernie stopped me."Let me!" Bernie said faintly: "Anyway, it's my luggage, don't let you work so hard!"What else can I say?

At the same time, Dylan planned to visit his mother.Standing in front of the mirror, adjusting his outfit, Dylan felt Bernie's intense gaze beside him. After a while, unable to resist, Bernie approached and hugged him from behind."Can you come with me?" he whispered into Dylan's ear. "Don't go to your appointment; come with me, please."Dylan turned around, embraced the other's firm waist, and lifted his head to kiss him on the cheek. "Don't be naughty, love. I know this appointment is important."Bernie seemed quite dissatisfied. "Yet you won't come with me."Dylan, feeling somewhat reluctant, chuckled, "Don't we already have Katherine and Scarlet? Besides, your coming along wouldn't make much of a difference."Bernie remained quite dissatisfied,

    Dylan stood in front of the mirror, selecting his outfit for the day as he had a date with Bernie. It had been a week since Dylan and Bernie started their relationship. In reality, they had always been together in the company. Still, due to Dylan's thin face, he didn't make their relationship public. Bernie had been upset about this for a long time, probably for about two hours.Despite not being public, the secret dating within the company brought a thrilling and novel sense of excitement. With a busy week behind them, today was the first time in a while that they had time for each other. Bernie had taken advantage of the morning when there was no one around to tightly embrace Dylan, continuously kissing his face like a giant puppy seeking affection. Dylan had to coax and promise about their evening date before Bernie finally let him go.Thinking about it, Dylan couldn't help but smile, feeling that this time was indeed good.

Suddenly, I feel my lips nibbling on something, and in a panic, I realize it's Bernie's finger. My face blushes momentarily. It turns out that while I was lost in thought, Bernie continuously fed me popcorn, which made me incredibly happy.Two hours of watching the movie passed quite quickly. I don't know how many times I accidentally bit Bernie's finger. I just know that my stomach is full of popcorn. I've eaten so much that I don't want to eat it again."Why did you feed me so much?" I sighed, looking at him while he disposed of the empty popcorn bag in the trash.Bernie hesitated momentarily, then changed the subject: "Let's stroll in the mall. Aren't you full now? We can have lunch in a bit!"I just nodded, then wandered with Bernie. But when I looked at something for a few seconds, Bernie immediately stopped and wanted to buy it for me. I chuckled and pulled Bernie awa

    Bernie's POVAfter Dylan left, I was alone in the office, thinking about my date with him tonight. I couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Earlier, I hadn't been as composed as I appeared; in front of Dylan, I had tried to be tough to make him confront his feelings. I sighed and rubbed my temples, the tension making me forget to tell Dylan where we were meeting.Maybe Dylan wasn't back to work yet, and I could use my authority to call him for a chat. I had never felt the power that came with my position as excellent as I did now, being able to mix business with personal matters. But that thought faded; I couldn't force Dylan to do what I wanted.After much contemplation, I left my office and headed to the assistant's room. Just a few minutes without seeing Dylan, I missed him so much it felt like an electric shock. It must be the Alpha blood in me surging. I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure, and went to the assistant's room.As I was about to enter, I overheard Ch

It turned out that I wasn't the only one feeling this way.I smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, it's just a routine medical checkup!" With that, I leaned in and gave Bernie a kiss. In that moment, I noticed the receptionist looking at us with curiosity, and her face turned slightly pink.Bernie gently stroked my hair, still looking worried, but his furrowed brows relaxed a bit. "Let's go inside," he said.He knocked on the door, and from inside, we heard a warm and welcoming voice saying, "Come in!"Her voice had a soothing effect, easing the anxiety in our hearts. Bernie and I exchanged glances, and I nodded with confidence.We pushed open the door and entered the room. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged woman with silver str

I rubbed my temples, biting my lip to endure the fleeting pain."Dylan, what's wrong?"In an instant, Bernie's gentle voice echoed in my ear, and the pain gradually subsided. Facing Bernie's concerned gaze, my heart softened, and I smiled in response, "I'm fine. Let's go inside quickly!"Upon hearing that, Bernie smiled and took hold of my hand, gently placing a kiss on my fingertips. My ears turned red; even though I had accepted the fact that we were a couple, I still couldn't fully adjust to Bernie's intimate gestures. I gently pulled my hand away from Bernie's and whispered, "Don't do that, we're in a public place!"Bernie burst into laughter, playfully tousling my slightly messy hair. "We're legally married, they can't judge us!"After saying that, he leaned in towards me as if he wanted to kiss my lips. I quickly glanced around and, not see

Am I correct?"Olivia stood beside us, sighing as she placed a glass of water on the table. "It was my own decision. Back then, Dylan was in immense pain, and Andy and I couldn't bear to see him suffer like that.""Mom..." he whispered, his voice pleading, and he blinked back tears. "I don't blame you, Mom."I embraced him tightly, gently patting Dylan's back to offer comfort. His body immediately tensed up, and I sighed, realizing that Dylan wasn't accustomed to my embrace

I quickly let go of him, and he settled back into a deep sleep.I held onto Dylan tightly, then stood up and carried him to the bedroom. However, as soon as I placed Dylan on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes. His face turned pale like a sheet of paper, looking at me as if he had seen a ghost. He breathed heavily and hoarsely asked, "Bernie? Aren't you drunk?"I paused, not understanding what time period Dylan was referring to. If it was after I met Dylan, then I hadn't been drinking anymore. As for before that...I only drank during my college years and shortly after graduation. But during that time, I had never met Dylan.Various thoughts appeared in my mind, and the seeds of suspicion grew thicker day by day. In the end, what was Dylan hiding from me? Or rather
