Chapter 480 Do You Believe Me?
At that moment, Lyra clearly felt his back stiffen for a few seconds. Her forehead gently rested against his back. Completely defenseless, she used this silent method to slowly comfort the man in front of her. A pair of beautiful eyes slowly closed. Her voice was light and slow. “You can tell me.” If there was no one by his side to talk to, at least she could quietly listen to him finish telling her all the grievances in his heart. The man’s eyes gradually softened. He lowered his head and held her cold fingertips. “Alright, I’ll make something to eat first. I’m really too hungry. The food provided inside is not to my liking.” He said softly. He turned around and gently rubbed Lyra’s hair. “Go outside and wait for me.” Meeting his gaze, Lyra looked at him seriously for a while, as if she was confirming whether he was really fine. Ten minutes later, the fragrance of rice came from the kitchen. Lyra smelled it and felt hungry again. She had eaten a lot of fruit and milk, but her stomach did not seem to be full. She raised her head and watched him put the bowl and chopsticks on the table. Her saliva was about to flow down. Hank raised his eyes and noticed her gaze. He couldn’t help but laugh.
Lyra walked over. “Eat. I will get Sister Zhang to come and take care of you in a few days. I should be a little busy. You… pay more attention to your health.” He only said this one sentence before he lowered his head and ate.
His manner was so elegant that it was hard to see.
It could be seen that he was indeed very hungry.
Lyra held her chopsticks and pursed her lips. He should have already known, but why did he not ask a word?
She was not worried that Hank would be irresponsible. On the contrary, she just couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. She always felt that the entanglement between the two of them would get deeper and deeper in the future.
“Have you finished eating?”
Seeing that she didn’t move for a long time, Hank stretched out his hand to get the bowl.
Their fingers coincidentally touched each other.
“I’ll eat more,” Lyra said in a panic.
She went into the kitchen with the bowl and chopsticks. She dawdled for a long time before going out with the bowl of rice. However, Hank was still sitting at the dining table. His eyes were deep. Lyra looked at him, but he did not move. “Aren’t you leaving?” she asked slowly. “I’m leaving now,” said Hank with a heavy look in his eyes. He was about to get his coat when all the lights in the house went out. The moonlight outside the window spilled in lightly, and Lyra hurriedly said, “Maybe I forgot to pay for the electricity.” She was taking out her phone when Hank reached out and covered her fingertips. “Follow me,” he whispered. After a while, there was a knock on the door. “Hello, we are the staff of the property. We are repairing the nearby electric cables. We accidentally damaged the electric circuit in your house.”
“Is there anyone?” There was a series of rapid knocks on the door outside.
It was as if they wanted to open the door as soon as possible.
Hank looked in the direction of Lyra.
His hand was on her shoulder, close to her ear, and said in a low voice, “If they were from the property management, they should have called the owner first.” Lyra gritted her teeth, and the emotions in her eyes deepened.
Unexpectedly, she still failed to deceive that old fox Huaien. He must have thought that she still had connections with Hank, so he was scheming against the Jones family. “Then what should we do now?” Lyra lowered her voice, her face a little anxious. If Hank had not been here, she would probably have opened the door… “Wait and see, don’t be afraid.” As he spoke, his hand gently patted her shoulder, comforting her in silence.
Lyra just turned her head and frowned, waiting to hear the noise outside.
Little did she know that her body was leaning towards the man beside her. The scent that was exclusive to her lingered in his nose. Even in this situation, her scent still moved his mind.
