For such an apology... The resentment and anger that had been suppressed in her chest were mostly extinguished by these words, replaced by an indescribable shyness and embarrassment.
She hemmed and hawed for a long time before squeezing out a sentence. "Forget it, you didn't do it on purpose."
What the hell was going on with this feeling of being unable to raise his head as if the person who had done something wrong was him?
Although Huston's expression did not change, he still let out a sigh of relief in his heart. If he offended her now, then his future happiness would be in danger.
"Sadie is not here. I'll take Lucas out to buy something to eat later. By the way, I'll buy you some ointment. You can rest for a while before getting up." He looked at her with his deep black eyes and instructed her in a faint voice.
While complaining that she was too easy to coax, she nodded obediently. "Okay, be careful. Take good care of Lucas."
"I'm not worried about the child." He leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I'm worried about you."
Her throat was dry, and her face was puffed up as fast as she could. She hurriedly urged, "Go ahead."
The response to her was an even hotter kiss. She narrowed her eyes and saw the light coming in through the curtains behind the man. His figure was projected on her, covering her whole body, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
After a long while, the kiss ended. When she calmed down, the man had already walked out.
She was already in her late twenties and had become much more independent over the years. She thought that she rarely did anything childish, but in front of him, she seemed to have returned to the young girl from five years ago.
She raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks and shook her head desperately. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Huston brought Lucas to a supermarket nearby. The two of them had already had a fight at home because of Evelyn's matter. If Huston had not pulled a long face and begged him, Lucas probably would not have come with him.
