Therefore, he did not think much about it.
Lucy looked at the time.
“It’s getting late, I need to go back to rest now.”
Joel was reluctant to separate with her. After all, the two of them had only decided to be officially together, so it was no wonder that he felt reluctant.
However, he knew that this type of thing should not be rushed at first, otherwise it would be easy to screw up.
Thus, he just nodded, took her hand and said, “I’ll send you.”
This time, Lucy did not refuse.
Joel followed her until the entrance of her house, watched her open the door and entered her house. He then pulled her in to kiss her lips again and finally waved goodbye.
Lucy smiled as she watched him leave, they were like a really close couple.
Once the elevator was there, he entered it. The doors then closed and the elevator went down.
The smile on her face collapsed instantly.
Lucy closed the door, covered her face and sat onto the floor.
There was only a wall lamp at the entrance, its dim yellow light shone onto her body like she was a lonely island in the night.
She sat on the rug as she hugged her legs, her face buried in between her knees, as if all of her energy had been drained, and she did not feel like moving at all.
Lucy’s entire being, from her body to her heart, felt extremely tired.
She knew that Joel sincerely loved her, and what he said now just was from the bottom of his heart.
Yet because of this, she felt scared.
She was scared that she was not as good as what he thought.
She was scared that one day, she would disappoint him.
Lucy sighed as she thought about this and only stood up after a while.
However, at that moment, she heard a slow and long breath coming from the inside.
She was stunned and her whole body stiffened instantly.
To be precise, that was not the sound of breathing, but a sleeping man’s snoring sound.
There is someone in the bedroom?
Lucy’s face became pale as she thought of this.
After hesitating, she still held back and did not call Joel who just left to come back.
Instead, she tip-toed to the kitchen to get a cooking knife, then went towards the bedroom.
She did not actually know who was the one making the sound.
It was already late, the man who appeared at her home suddenly, was obviously not a good person.
Could it be a crazy fan?
Or…
She did not dare to turn on the lights in fear of waking him up. She just took out her phone and pressed the numbers for the police and left a finger above the “call” button so she could immediately call the police if something were to happen.
The light from her phone’s screen lit up a small path, so she slowly walked towards the bedroom.
The bedroom was not closed tightly, it was only slightly closed by the person inside.
She raised her hand and slowly pushed open the door. Through the dim light, there seemed to be someone laying on the bed.
The person was lying on his side with his back faced against her while his body was covered by a blanket.
The lights were too dim as there was only a little moonlight and the weak light from her phone’s screen, so she could not see the person clearly. She could only see his figure which looked like a slender middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man slept soundly as if he had no fear or worry about being in another person’s house, he even snored from time to time.
