Lyra's heart throbbed with pain.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to feel so truly how much Malcolm had suffered for her, and how painfully he was wounded badly!
Guilt, self-blame, and sadness filled her.
Her mind was in a state of confusion and she was pulled out of the White Manor by Malcolm's hand in a daze.
Until she got in the car, her eyes were red, like a frightened bunny.
Malcolm took her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and sounded a little self-conscious: "Scared? It's my fault. There's no need to see this bloody scene. I should have let Chad take you out."
Lyra's nose was sore, and she buried her face in his neck, whimpering.
"It's me who should say sorry. I now realize how hard you were whipped before, but I hate that I didn't even have a word of comfort at that time. I was mean to you. I was so bad."
"Nonsense."
Malcolm cupped her tear-stained face and spoke in a serious tone, "Beating shows affection and scolding shows love. Your tears mean to me that you love me so much that I can't wait to be happy."
What kind of weird reasoning was this?
Lyra knew he was trying to make her happy, and did not feel any less guilty about it. Her starry eyes were shining with tears.
"It's all in the past. My injury has long since healed, not even a scar left. It doesn't hurt at all."
Malcolm leaned down and kissed her tears away patiently with his cold and thin lips, "Your tears are more precious to me than Nordica black pearls. Don't cry. I'll be broke if you cry again."
Lyra managed to get a laugh out of him, "Slick. Who did you learn that from?"
Chad was concentrating on driving when he noticed Lyra's gaze and hurried to prove his innocence, "I've never been in love in my life. I'm pure!"
OK.
She didn't have to make it difficult for a man who was never in a relationship before.
Malcolm grabbed her small hand and gently placed her palm over his heart through his suit, "I'm not being slick and coaxing you on purpose, so can you feel my sincerity?"
Lyra carefully pressed against his heart, feeling his heartbeat and feeling sweet.
"Mel, I'll spoil you for the rest of your life!" She smiled playfully, came to his lips and kissed him gently.
Malcolm closed his eyes and kissed her.
An ambiguous scent wafted through the car.
Chad clutched the steering wheel, glancing twice from the rear-view mirror every now and then, and he was broken.
These two people were really unbearable! Can't they see that there was another person in the car? Why did they start kissing?
As a single person, he was so hurt inside!
Please be considerate of his fragile heart as an older single person, okay!?
A few minutes of deep kissing in the car ended with Malcolm taking the initiative.
Lyra touched his face and noticed something strange, "Why are you so pale? Your body is also cold. Are you cold or uncomfortable?"
Malcolm shook his head, "It's normal to look bad after just major surgery."
"But ..."
Lyra was about to ask more question when Malcolm interrupted her, "Are you going back to Lloyd's Parlor?"
Chad glanced at the rear-view mirror, understood Malcolm's meaning, and took the initiative to answer, "By the way boss, it seems that White Corp has a very important meeting today. You must attend."
He pretended to look at the time, "It's two hours before the meeting. Shall we go over there later?"
Malcolm had to get busy with work. Lyra could not say anything else, "Okay, but I'm not going back to Lloyd's Parlor. You can take me to Angle Group Tower. The opening ceremony will be in two days. I have to do some arrangements."
Chad turned around and drove all the way down to the Angle Group.
Before getting out of the car, Malcolm kissed Lyra's forehead, "Don't rush off tonight. I'll come pick you up and we'll go to dinner."
