Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 16

After dinner, Leah planned to walk back to the old street, but after thinking for a while, she gave up. It was already nine o'clock and was not safe to go alone at night. It would take an hour from the orphanage to the old street by bus, so she changed her mind and took the last bus.

The old street was relatively remote, and the government was about to demolish it, so many people had moved away, and few people took the bus here. Leah got on the bus and sat next to the window.

The route would pass through the bustling urban area of the city. Looking out of the window at the brilliant lights, Leah found that the bus was so quiet that it was suffocating, but she had a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Two years ago, she was used to loneliness and waiting, but the appearance of Charlie disturbed her life. She longed for warmth, and it was expected that she would fall into Charlie's hands.

Two years later, she had thought that she could continue to have this warmth. However, something unexpected interrupted her steps. It was not until then that she realized that the so-called warmth was just a fraud.

As for Lucian, why would she think of him? She should have thought of him. He just made a deal with her today and she sold herself.

'humph! I should have known that he is a scheming man. A boss treats his employees so well. He must have planned it, ' she thought.

Although she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, she didn't hate him very much. On the contrary, he seemed to be very good to her. In the novels, the heroine would often be the lover of the hero, and even signed a contract. Now such a contrived thing happened to her. Well, if life was not contrived, how could life be called as life?

However, he was too fickle. He made his affection for his girlfriend public in the media, but later he asked her to be his girlfriend. He was a playboy, no, a fickle wolf.

Leah's heart was lit up. She took out her phone and changed the "big Boss" in the address book to "the fickle wolf".

It was indeed much more pleasing.

A CEO sneezed several times in his bedroom and looked around for the cold medicine.

It was almost half past ten when Leah got home. She quickly washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Then she sat at the desk, pulled out a drawer, carefully took out a yellowing paper, and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.

Brother L accompanied her, so she wouldn't be lonely.

In the Great Garden, Lucian was sitting in the study and watching the screen on the computer. Yes, he had secretly investigated Leah's address and installed a camera in her house.

"Hugh, go to bed first." His voice was as cold as ever, giving people a sense of distance.

"Yes, sir." Hugh slightly closed the door and went out.

He picked up the coffee on the table with his slender fingers and stared at the petite figure in the computer.

Lucian's heart skipped a beat when he saw Leah put the painting on the table. She still kept it!

She lowered her head and read the book carefully. Her hand was still writing something on the book. The window in front of the desk was open. A breeze blew, and her hair was gently raised. She looked extremely quiet and beautiful.

He really envied that book. It seemed that she hadn't looked at him so carefully.

Taking a sip of coffee, the mellow scent of Lanshan spread around his lips. Lucian's eyes had never left the computer. How could he stop watching the woman who he had been missing day and night for thirteen years?

Suddenly, Lucian smiled. The little woman in the computer began to shake her head. It was almost twelve o'clock. She must be sleepy.

It turned out that Leah was really sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

Lucian frowned. The window was still open. What if she fell asleep and got cold? So he quickly changed his clothes, took the car key and went downstairs.

At twelve o'clock, there were fewer people and cars on the road. Lucian drove at a high speed and arrived at Leah's downstairs in ten minutes.

Although she knew to lock the door at night, he happened to learn how to open it in the United States. No matter how precise a mechanical lock was, he could open it, not to mention this old lock.

"Crack!" the door was opened and Lucian gently pushed the door open.

The apartment was very small. The kitchen and living room were one, and the rest was a bedroom with a narrow bathroom.

Lucian walked quietly to the desk. Leah was sleeping soundly, and the little girl looked lonely and lonely.

He frowned slightly. He didn't know if this girl had a bad sleep or had a bad dream. No matter what, a trace of pity flashed through his heart. What kind of life had she lived for so many years?

Lucian bent down, slowly picked up her petite and light body, gently put it on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and then stood up to close the window.

"Good night, my little girl." Lucian gently kissed on her forehead, with love in his eyes.

He walked to the desk and opened the book and the notebook next to him. There was an illustration of the aurora on the book, and on the notebook, there was a line of beautiful words, "extreme love will never regret, and wind will never stop."

'she wants to see the aurora? '?
