I stopped what I was doing for a moment upon hearing Monica’s name. We had only met for a short moment but I could tell that the Lane family really liked her.
Especially Christopher’s parents, who were exceptionally satisfied with her.
Even though Darius didn’t try to stop Christopher and me from dating each other, I could tell that he didn’t approve of us. He just didn’t want to stop us.
Still in a daze, the bowl in my hands fell onto the ground and shattered. I quickly bent down to pick the broken pieces up but I accidentally cut myself.
“Ouch!” I stood up instantly and my vision darkened when I saw the blood dripping down.
Christopher heard me and walked over to take my hand. “How careless of you,” he said.
“I’ve always been stupid. It’s not the first time this has happened.” My lips twisted into a pout and I was about to tidy up the mess I made.
However, he quickly stopped me and said, “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”
Christopher bent down and cleaned up the place before picking me up in his arms. I couldn’t even react to it as he walked out of the kitchen and all I could do was wrap my arms around his neck.
“What are you doing? Put me down!”
“You’re injured so of course, I have to carry you.” He continued to hold me in his arms as he sat down on the couch. He then put my bleeding finger in his mouth before wrapping a band-aid over it.
“It’s my finger that’s hurt, not my leg. Besides, it’s only a tiny cut. I’m not that fragile.” I withdrew my hand and applied the band-aid properly.
Christopher immediately took my hands again and said, “I’m happy to spoil you. I’m going to spoil you even if you’re not happy with it.”
