Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 19

“Jensen.”

Suddenly Jensen heard a loud voice calling his name, he was shocked and accidentally dropped the cigarette on the ground. He turned his head and saw Rae beside him. He didn't know when she came to him. Rae held her dress and looked at him suspiciously. He looked at her face. Rae put on light makeup, which made her beautiful face look even better. Her long wavy curly hair didn't change much, she just added some trinkets on her hair and she looked absolutely gorgeous. But the most stunning part of her was her skirt.

Her natural aura wasn’t outshone by the beautiful clothes. As if the whole night sky quietly covered her body as a decoration, she completely showed her beauty with the dress. But even with the vast starry sky, it couldn't compare with her bright and cheerful face at this moment. Just a smile and that would completely cover the beautiful bright starry sky.

"Why do you smoke again? What's bothering you?" Rae could see that he wasn’t paying attention. Since she came out, she had called him twice but he just leaned at the car door and smoked. Then Rae had the idea to scare him. Before this, Jensen was admitted to the hospital because of excessive smoking that caused him to fall sick. After he was discharged from the hospital, she ordered him to give up smoking, then she rarely saw him smoking again.

Jensen was annoyed that he kept thinking about stuff and forgot to check when she came out. Actually he never gave up smoking, He just never smoked in front of her. Seeing that he was caught smoking, he said, "I can't help it just now."

"Oh, right, sleep in your study room tonight. I hate the smell of smoke." Rae said and carried her dress, walked towards the passenger seat in front and got in the car.

After stepping on the cigarette butt, Jensen got in the car. Jensen saw that Rae didn’t say anything after she buckled her seatbelt, he reached out and poked her in the face, "Are you really angry?"

"I don't talk to people who can't keep their promises." Rae turned her head and looked out of the window, showing the back of her head to Jensen. It occurred to her that when Jensen was admitted to the hospital, she saw him lying on the bed quietly. He looked just like her father when he was ill, she was afraid that he would be like him. It was really painful to see the people she cared for suffering from illness and she felt truly helpless. She didn't want to experience it again. In short, because of her father, she really couldn't see anyone around her fell sick.

Jensen knew that she was angry because she was worried. Her father’s incident had left her traumatized. In fact, everyone who seemed to be cheerful had a hidden side to their personality. Just like when he was hospitalized before, although she didn't say anything nice to him, but he knew that every time when he was sleepy, she would stay by his bed and keep an eye on him.

Some people were naturally not good at expressing themselves, but you couldn’t deny that they were sensitive and fragile in the depth of their mind.

Jensen leaned forward, reached out and hugged her. He tried the old way of keeping calling her name, "Rae, Rae, Rae, Rae, Rae..."

Rae saw that Jensen wouldn’t stop even after calling out her name for more than ten times, she finally couldn’t hold it anymore. Every time Jensen called her, it’s like she was cursed. She always had goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know how this man who seemed to be cold could get so affectionate. As long as he showed his affection a little bit, she, who was thick-skinned, couldn't stand it at all.

"Oh, stop calling!” Rae pushed him away.

Once Jensen saw Rae's reaction, he knew that he had succeeded, he quickly took the opportunity to ask, “So tonight, will you still let me sleep in the study room?" The apartment was a standard two-bedroom apartment. He turned one of the rooms into a study room, so they only had one bedroom. Every time he made her angry, he had to go to the study room to sleep on the tiny chair.

Rae took a deep breath and pretended to be angry, "Don’t push your luck..."

"Rae, Rae, Rae, Rae..." Jensen said.

"Oh, it’s so annoying. Stop calling my name. You can sleep with me, alright?" Rae saw that he wanted to call her again, so she raised her hand to cover her ears like she couldn’t bear it anymore. She really couldn't bear it! In fact, she really didn't understand why she couldn't hear Jensen calling her name like this. But in the next few years, when she grew up a little bit more and had more knowledge of the world, she would realize that people would encounter many people in their lives but it’s really rare to find someone who would call your name so attentively and sincerely.

Some people couldn’t meet such a person even through out their whole life. Just listening to him calling her name made her heart tremble and made her feel touched.

Jensen saw that she finally compromised, he smiled and stopped calling her name. He started the engine and drove to the dinner party.

……

The charity event was very magnificent. There were big round tables arranged in four rows, which could accommodate four to five hundred people. The candles, red wine, flowers, porcelain bowls and plates, wine glasses, knives and forks on the table made her felt dizzy under the light. Rae followed Jensen at the back since she got out of the car. Although she was domineering at home, she knew she needed to respect Jensen outside. Since they got out of the car and stepped into the event hall, there were people saying hello to Jensen all the way. They just kept greeting him by calling him Mr. Knight. Jensen nodded to them, but he didn't talk to them. Rae also nodded slightly as a response.

Now that the dinner party had not started, they were brought to another big room for a relax. The layout and decoration of the big room was as grand and good as the main hall, with purple as the main color of the room. There were more than a dozen high-footed tables scattered in the room. A variety of drinks and desserts were served on the long table at the side. Everyone was all dressed up in expensive and elegant clothing. They walked around with champagne in their hands, chatted and laughed freely with other guests. Rae looked at them and felt that they were a little...

"Are you bored already?" Jensen seemed to be able to read her mind. He asked her.

"I get paid from you, I dare not to complain.” Rae took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter's tray. She took a sip and found that it was not the taste she wanted. Then she gave the champagne to Jensen.

Jensen took a look, took the glass and drank it naturally.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Knight and Miss Clark have such a good relationship. It really made others envy." Said a female voice nearby.

Rae was stunned when she heard this. Miss Clark? Did this woman recognize her as Karina Clark?
