Little Bride

Chapter18

Without hesitating, I turned and walked out of the hallway.

After walking for a while, I remembered that I didn't ask him where he came from, whether he was going back now, and what to do with the money from before...

In any case, inexplicably, many questions surged in my mind.

I hesitated, and actually realized that the thing I wanted to ask the most was, "Why did you come here?"

A man I've only met a few times, and also my ex-boyfriend's uncle, can be considered half of my creditor. Why would he rush to the hospital just because of a phone call from me?

Thinking back to the last time when he asked me what kind of bag I wanted and attentively noted down the brand and color;

He would take me out to eat, afraid that I couldn't go back late, and even if he heard me say something outrageous, he wouldn't expose me;

Although we rarely contact each other, he frequently calls me, and even on the phone, he always carefully detects any abnormalities;

Even the first time, when I was drunk and forced him, he didn't make me feel embarrassed. I transferred the money to him, but he didn't accept it.

Occasional ambiguous language never crossed the line, maintaining a respectful distance.

...

All the doubts tormented me to the point of explosion. When I finally sobered up, I realized that I had returned to the door of the hallway.

He should have left, right? I mocked myself.

But I couldn't let it go. I clenched my fist, gathered my courage, and pushed open the door.

In fact, as soon as I pushed open the door and saw him leaning against the railing, I was dumbfounded. My mind went blank, and I didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Did something fall?" he held a cigar, looking at me through the smoke, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"An... earring," I pretended to lower my head and search for it.

My heart was pounding so fast, I felt like I would fall down the stairs in the next second.

"Do you need help?" he extinguished the cigar, with ambiguous his smile.

"No need," I simply squatted down, looking around with my eyes, while my mind became a mess.

I cursed myself for being so stupid, but because of nervousness, I had to continue being stupid.

I planned to stand up and say that I couldn't find it.

The next second, I was lifted up from the ground by someone.

He supported my waist with one hand. Once I stood firm, his other hand gently pressed against the back of my head, and with a slight force, our lips met.

Hmm, to be more specific, it was his suddenly lowered lips that met mine.

I was forcibly kissed.

Before I could react, my body trembled as I leaned back, but he continued to advance, eventually pressing me against the wall with a fierce momentum.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally let go of me. His face was just inches away from mine, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. His voice was hoarse as he asked me, "Who told you to come back?"

I was at a loss for words. "I... I dropped my earring," I stammered.

He chuckled, a smile spreading across his face. "Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you."
