What exactly is Mom up to?
All of a sudden, I remembered what Yvette said. She told me that Crystal had a close relationship with Mom. For some reason, I was flustered. No matter where I went, I could see Crystal as if I would never be able to get rid of her.
The question kept bugging me, and when I found Christopher in the garden, I was still immersed in my thoughts.
“Is there something in your mind? You look disturbed.” Christopher wrapped his arms around my waist, leaned against the tree trunk, and asked softly while gently tapping my nose.
“Is it that obvious? I thought I’ve done a good job of concealing my emotions recently.” Scratching my head, I smiled embarrassedly.
“I’ve said so much, but you didn’t even answer my questions. And you’re telling me that you’re good at concealing your emotions? In your eyes, do I look like such a stupid man?” He raised his head high and pretended to be furious. “I’m angry. Hurry up and coax me.”
“Okay. I’m sorry!” I stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. As soon as I backed away, he held my neck and pulled me back. Then, he kissed my lips and pried them open, deepening the kiss.
Our tongues were dancing at his lead, and he was constantly sucking every bit of air in my mouth. My brain was fuzzy, and I suddenly lost the ability to think and allow him to hug me. The kiss continued to deepen, and there was basically not a gap between our bodies.
His dark eyes were soothing and gentle. The shimmering light deep in his eyes almost sucked me in. For a moment, I forgot where I was. My eyes were full of him and the happiness that belonged to us.
After our lips parted, I buried my head in his chest, panting. He leaned my head on his shoulder, and his tone was incredibly gentle. “Do you feel at ease now?”
