My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 68

“UH, I’M GLAD that you and Franco have a small talked.” I cleared my throat and looked over the window.

“He’s my brother. I don’t want to make things worse,” he told me.

I gave him a small smile before leaning on his chest. He was right; it looks like Franco will have no problem because I am comfortable that it will not do anything wrong.

“Okay, let’s go!” Jocko shouted, and the car sailed away.

I just waved at Clarence, who Doris carried. We did not include him and baby Kyzler in this trip because we will climb to get to Dinalayan Falls. We will definitely have a hard time with them. Besides, it is an isolated area and no electricity yet.

WHEN WE REACHED Dinalayan, we took a long walk to climb the rocky road.

Lawrence was able to support me. At first glance, it seemed easy to climb the rocks, but I was sweating profusely because the place was steep. We spent a few minutes before I could hear the murmur of water coming from the waterfall.

I heard Julia and Ally scream when I saw them going down into the water. Excited, I began to take off my rubber shoes.

“Are you going to swim now?” Lawrence asked gently.

He bent down and helped me remove the strap of my rubber shoes. In the end, I just let him do that.

But he stopped for a moment and looked up at me. His eyes were dark, but I could see a bit of gleaming with clarity.

“Can you still walk? Let’s take a few more steps. I want to show you something.”

“I’m tired, Lawrence,” I jutted my lips to his.

“I would carry you at my back if you want,” he said, his lips curled up to a smile.

Eventually, I also agreed to what he wanted. I do not know how many minutes we have been walking. I prefer to focus on the giant trees that have grown old over time.

Until I see a stream that is probably a continuation of the Dinalayan Falls, it was not too big, but obviously, the water was a bit shallow. I clearly see the smoothness of the rocks underneath.

“We’re here. It’s better to bathe here. The water is not too cold,” he said.

“It’s nice, Rence,” I whispered.

I backed away when he started to take off his T-shirt and lay it on the grass. He sat down and gently tapped the vacant part.

My lips twitched. I watched him for a while, then looked at the lake. I didn’t want to sit next to him, but my legs were numb because of the long walk, so I finally saw myself sitting next to him.

Silence fell between us; only the gentle murmur of the water can be heard. Even the gentle breeze seemed to deafen us.

“I talked to him last night before coming here. I said I would not continue the wedding. I also do not want him to come closer to you,” he said thoughtfully.

I glanced at him, and a foolish smile flashed on his lips.

I just stared at him. I do not know how I will feel at this time. Maybe there was a thorn pulled from my chest, so I could not help but be infected by his smiles.

“You look better when you smile. As much as possible, I don’t want to see you cry, but I’m stupid and don’t have balls to do that,” he said. I heard the moaning of his mouth after saying that.

I bent down and played with some flowers at my feet. “You don’t have to do that because many things give me a reason to smile. Our son is already there,” I said and smiled softly.
