Coffey replied calmly, "Nothing important. He needs a hand now and asked me if I'm available."
"No, you don't. You're with me now!" Chloe grabbed his hand and said unhappily, "Justin has enough people around who can help him. Why is he always asking you for help? Why does he get to order you about? You've been abroad for over two months and you just came back! Don't you miss me? Don't you want to hug me?"
"I wasn't going. I turned him down." Coffey smiled and grabbed her hand. "What would like to eat when we get back?"
"Mango cakes!"
"I thought you said you're trying to lose weight. Are you sure you want to eat that?"
Chloe squeezed his arm hard and put on a mean face, "Yeah, I've said that, but you can't just ask me if I'll gain more weight. Have some respect for your girlfriend!"
"OK... my fault." Coffey decided to keep quiet and speak no more.
After a short moment of quietness, Chloe became active again. She said to Coffey, "I envy Lily. She had a handsome husband and three adorable children. That's the life I dream of."
"Yeah, the three children were so cute."
Hearing him saying that, Chloe immediately turned aside and scanned him from head to toes like a radar. She furrowed emotionally and soon smiled again happily.
Coffey couldn't help laughing out when he saw what she was doing. "What are you thinking? Why was your expression changing so fast?"
"I don't want to tell you!" Chloe snorted.
She was looking at Coffey and wondered what if their baby was ugly. She wouldn't be able to accept an ugly baby. Then she realized that she was beautiful, and she felt relieved because she believed that the baby would be passed on her beautiful genes.
She took his hand said earnestly, "Be nice to me from now on, and treat me like your princess, OK? No one would want you except me."
Coffey kissed her hands with his lips. "There's no ''from now on. You've always been my princess. I'll keep loving my princess for the rest of my life."
He suddenly became so good at sweet talks. Chloe was at a loss.
Soon Chloe scowled and snorted, "You mean you'll love somebody else in your next life?"
"I knew it!" Seeing he wouldn't speak, Chloe pursed her read lips. "You're not handsome anyway. If you're as handsome as Louis, you may marry at least three or four people in this life..."
Coffey checked the rearview mirror. Then he suddenly pulled over and unbuckled himself. He turned sideways and kissed her lips hard.
The kiss lasted for quite a few minutes.
Coffey squeezed her flushing cheeks and said, "I'll love you for this life and the next life. Could you please stop the bee in your head?"
"OK." Chloe nodded.
Seeing that the car seemed to be in a hidden underground garage, she rolled her eyes and put her arms around Coffey. Then her soft limb entangled him.
She pressed him on the passenger seat and supported herself on the back of the chair. "Do you want to have a try?"
Coffey was taken aback. He felt a bit embarrassed. "I heard you've hung out with Lily for a day and played with the baby in Louis's home, aren't you tired?"
"I don't have to carry what we bought, why should I be tired?" Chloe suddenly stared at him vigilantly, "Why are you turning me down? Did you cheat on me abroad?"
"What are you thinking?"
"You've gone abroad for more than two months! I was felt insecure!" Chloe was taking off his shirted as she mumbled.
Coffey stopped her hand and said, "Cut it out. Let's go home first."
"No! Just this time!" Chloe wouldn't give up and she sounded so excited. "Don't you think this is fun? We're in the deepest part of the garage. We're safe!"
Coffey didn't know what to say!
