Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 21

Late at night, the Wilson City was still full of lights. Charlie came out of the bar and drove aimlessly on the street.

Some of the stores were still open, and a song named You.

"How many times shall I meet you before I can forget you?

How many times shall I refuse you before I won't remember you.

You are everywhere in this city, but where are you?

The world is all about you. It turns out that you live in my heart."

He thought, 'I'm really drunk. There are only a few people on the street. No matter how hard I look at them, they are all Leah.'

He hadn't seen her face carefully for two years. He didn't remember whether her eyes were single-fold eyelids or double-fold eyelids, and whether her lips were thin or thick. He only remembered that it was an impeccable and stunning face.

He was annoyed. He pushed her away with his own hands, and now he was thinking about her crazily. Why? He hated her so much. A woman born in an orphanage didn't deserve his love.

He drove faster and faster on the street in the Chevrolet.

At the crossroad, a truck was driving at a moderate speed. The driver looked very tired. He slowly closed his eyes and ignored the red light in front.

"Bang!" with a loud noise, the Chevrolet got under the wheels of the truck. A limited edition sports car was immediately out of recognition.

On the second day, Lucian took Leah to the ice rink.

A gust of cold wind blew in the ice rink. Leah tightened her clothes and said awkwardly, "I don't know how to skate."

"I was going to teach you how to ski, but the ski resort doesn't open until November. I'll take you there then."

Lucian went to the lounge and fetched two pairs of ice skates. They changed their shoes and entered skating rink.

"Come on, girl. Hold the handrail and slide slowly." Lucian held the other arm of Leah carefully.

Leah lowered her head, watching her feet slowly separated into two lines. Then she slowly raised her head and looked around the ice rink.

There were many people on the big ice rink, but there were not many beginners like her. Many of them were couples. It was really romantic to skate together.

She looked at Lucian next to her. He was carefully supporting her. His eyes were full of concentration. Suddenly, he turned his head and met her eyes. She wondered if they were a couple.

Looking at the little head turning to him, Lucian was in a good mood with her watery eyes staring at him. With a smile at the corners of his mouth, he said, "Little girl, are you looking at me like this to imply something?"

"What?" Leah blushed at the sight of banter and ambiguity in her delicate eyes. "I'm suggesting that you are good-looking. Your parents have given birth to you well."

"Well," Lucian chuckled and approached her pure little face with a handsome face. "Does my little girl like it?"

"I like handsome guys." She raised her head naughtily.

Lucian raised his eyebrows and said, "well, are you sure you have seen a handsome man who is more handsome than me?"

Leah kept silent. Was it really appropriate for him to be so narcissistic?

"No, you are the most handsome man in the world." Leah replied with a firm look.

Lucian raised his head and said, "I think so too. Then my little girl, you are not allowed to look at other men in the future. You can only look at me."

Leah fell silent again. It turned out that Lucian were not only narcissistic, but also childish.

"Then I will suffer a great loss."

"How come?"

With a serious look on her face, Leah explained, "You only allow the state officials to set fire and not the people to light the lamps. You can see many beautiful women, but why can I only look at you?"

Lucian suddenly stopped and the smile in his eyes couldn't dissipate. "Is my little girl jealous?"

"Why am I jealous? Why should I be jealous? " Although she was angry, her tone was a little spoiled and willful.

Lucian pressed Leah against the railing, lowered her head and touched her nose. "You are the only one in my life."

Leah blushed and her heart was pounding. Why did her heart jump so fast? Was it because her boss indirectly confessed his love to her? That was right. Anyone who was confessed the love by someone like Lucian would feel her heart beat faster.

"So you are moved?" With a smile on his face, Lucian said in embarrassment, "Little girl, there are too many people here. Let's go back to the hotel. I will take good care of you."

Leah was stunned for a moment and then understood what he meant by "take good care".

"Let go of me, you rogue." Leah got rid of his hand and slid forward slowly.

There were more and more people in the ice rink, and some couples were very bold. They kissed in the center of the ice rink, and then whistled around.

Looking at them, Leah envied them. In this world, it was really lucky to find someone who knew and loved each other.
