His gaze was so fiery that it seemed to warmed her ears. While covering her ears, she said, “Okay then. I’ll have them pierced!”Ralph grinned, delighted to hear that. “Heather, you’re the best!”Hannah just stayed silent as the sales advisor brought her to a small cubicle at the side. In that room, there was a tool that was specially used to pierce one’s ears. In fact, the whole process was quick and did not hurt as much as Hannah thought it would, but it still stung a little. It was hard for Ralph to believe that a woman who practiced kickboxing all year long and who was tougher than many men would be afraid of getting her ears pierced, as shown by the frown on her face. There was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in Ralph’s heart at the sight. Initially, he did not care about the type of earrings Hannah wanted to get, but the moment the sales advisor wanted to check out the item, he suddenly had an idea. If he managed to convince her to get her ears pierced, it meant that
“Annie?” Puzzled, Ralph repeated.“Yeah!” Afraid that he would be mistaken again, Hannah quickly explained, “When we go out on dates in the future, could you call me Annie?”“Is… Annie your nickname?” he asked while thinking, ‘This is weird. I’ve never heard that Heather had any nicknames in the past. Plus, where did that nickname come from?’She looked so excited, so Ralph just agreed to her request. “Sure.”His answer made Hannah happy, and her cheeks were red, but she thought of something suddenly. “Don’t call me Annie all the time too. I might not like it sometimes.”“Huh?” Ralph frowned. He was even more puzzled now. ‘What does she even mean?’Ralph knew that she had a weird temper, but he did not expect her to be this weird. She wanted him to address her as Annie sometimes only, and he had to call her something else on some other days.“Do you dislike… how weird I am?” Hannah asked cautiously. She did not want to do this, but her little secret would be exposed if he called
Hannah widened her eyes upon seeing the enlarged face in front of her. She felt scared, nervous, and ashamed the first time he kissed her, but she was feeling something else this time.It was not the first time he kissed her now. This time, he was gentle and cautious, sucking on her lips gently. It was a weird feeling for her.No one had ever done this to her in her life. Forget about getting kissed, but no one had ever held her hand or even hugged her. The strange yet familiar man was doing something intimate and felt weird to her, but she did not want to push him away.Ralph just wanted to test the waters. After all, he did not get a good experience the first time he kissed her. Sensing that she did not resist and accepted him obediently, he became bolder and slid his tongue over.Hannah was taken aback as she did not expect him to do this. She kept her teeth clenched, unwilling to open up due to her fear and nervousness.On the other hand, Ralph was a veteran of this. He caress
She broke free from his embrace and her expression darkened. There was a hint of indifference in her gaze too. “It’s getting late so I’ll get going now.”“What?” Ralph was taken aback. He wanted to invite her to watch a movie together, and he had a lot of moves planned to win her over. He did not understand why she wanted to leave all of sudden. Everything was still going perfectly well earlier.Puzzled, he watched as she got ready to leave. Before she could walk far, he held her hand, “Heather…”He paused, then corrected himself, “Annie, tell me what’s wrong. I want to hear it from you. You’re passionate one moment, then cold the next. It’s driving me crazy…”Hannah turned around and faced him, then lowered her gaze at their joined hands, hesitant to speak. “Annie, tell me honestly about what you’re dissatisfied with me. I don’t know what to do when you’re like this. I don’t know what I should do to make you happy.”Anxiety was written all over his face while his gaze held si
Hannah did not notice Heather as she walked. Just as the servant stepped forward and wanted to speak, Hannah waved her hand at the servant as she rushed back to her small dark basement."Stop right there!"When the cold voice spoke, Hannah stopped in her tracks. She slipped and almost fell due to her rush. Fortunately, she held onto herself, but she looked embarrassed.Heather became mad as she looked at Hannah's embarrassing and ridiculous self. Although Hannah was the carbon copy of her, Heather would not do such a shameful thing."Heidi, you... are back." Hannah was flustered as she spoke with a trembling voice. She did not even dare to look up at Heather."Where have you gone? Looking sneakily like that!""No, nothing." Hannah whispered guiltily, "I just came back. I didn't know you were home. I'm... going back to my room."She wanted to leave after finishing speaking, but Heather put the cup heavily on the table. "Stop right there!" …Hannah froze on the spot as she s
Hannah immediately turned around to disappear from her sight as if she was reprieved.Heather withdrew her gaze with impatience, but something seemed to shine through her eyes. She was stunned and looked over to see that Hannah had already trotted away and was about to disappear from her sight."Stop right there!" Heather stood up abruptly as she snapped.Hannah was rooted to the ground, startled, with her shoulder trembling. "Heidi...?"However, Heather ignored her as she stood in front of Hannah, and stared at her firmly.To be exact, Heather was staring at her ears.Hannah subconsciously raised her hand and touched her ear as she felt guilty about being stared at...Her heart skipped a beat. "Heidi, I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do it. I'll take it down right away..."Hannah trembled as she was about to take off the earrings, but Heather was a step ahead and yanked them down aggressively..."Ah!" Hannah screamed in pain with her bleeding ears.She trembled from the pain bu
It was supposed to be two separate bodies, but they had become one synchronized body. Heather was still herself, but Hannah was no longer herself.The pain in her ears had already gone numb, the bleeding had stopped, and she still felt an inexplicable sense of joy.Today, Hannah felt that her body belonged to her. She could finally be the master of her own for a moment, and she could do whatever she wanted, even piercing her ears, even if it hurt. It was her own choice.Heather gradually calmed down. She was dazzled by the rage just now. How did Hannah dare to disobey and pierce her ears? When Heather calmed down, she knew it was useless to get angry. She still needed Hannah's help to do things that she did not want or were inconvenient.Slowly putting down her hand, Heather put the earring into Hannah's hand. "Put this thing away, and don't lose it!"As if she was released, Hannah stretched out her hand happily. She carefully looked at the earring that still had her blood in her
"Tomorrow..." Ralph was overjoyed. He was about to agree when he realized she would gain the upper hand if he did so right away, so he deliberately said prolongedly, "I'm afraid tomorrow...""Why? You can't make it tomorrow?""It's not that. It's just a little inconvenient. Tomorrow my house..."Before he could say anything more, he heard her say, "Let's just forget about it."Then, Before Ralph could suggest to change the date, Heather said, "I can find someone else."Ralph immediately panicked as she was about to hang up. "Don't worry. I'm free tomorrow. I'm free!""You're free?""Yes, I'm free!" He said this while nodding constantly, afraid Heather would change her mind."Don't force yourself. Didn't you say it was inconvenient at home?" The voice was indifferent.Sweat dripped down Ralph's forehead as he continued, "No, it's very convenient. How could it be inconvenient? I was joking with you. Look..."He did not know why this woman was so capricious that he could not figu
