He couldn't help but pinch her tender face, causing her to look at him in shock and confusion.
Huston smiled. "Five years ago, you were afraid of me. Every time I called you to my office, you would do the same. You kept your head down and didn't say a word. You would also glance to the side, but you didn't dare to look at me."
His voice was very soft. Even though he was just talking about the past, the scene quickly appeared in her mind.
"At that time, you were 24 and I was 32. You didn't know anything, so you were particularly afraid of me. But you didn't know that every time you looked at me with those frightened and shy eyes, I only had one thought." He leaned close to her ear and deliberately blew on her ear with his breath. "I wanted to push you down."
She felt a tingle in her ears, and even half of her body was numb. Where could she hide if she tilted her head? She was a mother, but when she heard what he said, she couldn't help but tremble.
"You look the same as you did back then." The man stroked her slender neck with his fingertips.
He liked this action very much. He could feel the delicateness of her skin and the lively pulse below that was beating wildly for him.
"I'm no longer young and sentimental. I've changed a lot in the past five years." She suddenly looked up into his dark eyes.
He rubbed her chin back and forth. "Why do you say that? Are you afraid that I don't like you like this?"
She did not answer, but stared at him. After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Whether you like it or not, this is the real me."
The smile on the man's lips became more obvious because of these words. He did not hide the appreciation and love in his eyes. "No matter what you become, I like it."
His feelings for her had reached an unreasonable level. He just loved her without reason.
"..." He was her first man. Asking such a question was simply asking on purpose.
She couldn't be bothered with him. She bent down to avoid him and trotted upstairs. Behind her, the man's hearty and moving laughter was like the sun shining through the clouds, warming her heart. She walked faster, for fear that her heartbeat would be heard.
...
Forty minutes later, she finished tidying up and took Lucas out of the door. It was still Huston who was driving.
Knowing that he was going to kindergarten, Lucas was very nervous. He tugged at the corner of his clothes uneasily and looked forward to meeting the children later.
