Tangled Up In Blue novel Chapter 27

Seeing a warning in the eyes of Mr. Malcolm, Poppi came to herself suddenly. Then she looked at the person in front of her and her mind was in a mess.

"Poppi, why do you stop?" Inquired Hugh as he stared at Poppi. Noticing that she was staring at his back at a loss, he became more confused and wanted to turn around to see what was going on.

In a blink of an eye, there was only one idea on Poppi's mind that she couldn't let Hugh see and know about Malcolm. She didn't know why she thought so, but her action had already responded to her thoughts.

"Hugh!" At the same time, Poppi stretched out her hand and caught him by the wrist.

When her cool fingertips touched his skin, Hugh, enduring the throbbing of his heart, turned to face Poppi, Hugh's apple bobbing in his throat, and asked, "Um?"

"Well..." However, Poppi tightened her strength on her hands and dragged him forward. "I suddenly think there is a discount there. Let's go and have a look! Let's go! Hurry up! "

For a moment, Hugh lost the ability to think. He just let Poppi take him forward. A brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Standing in front of the goods shelf, Malcolm looked at the figure of Poppi who was in a hurry running away and her hand in hand with Hugh's. His eyes darkened. He couldn't describe his feeling clearly. It seemed that he was very angry. He was angry that Poppi didn't listen to his words, and that she hooked up with Hugh, and that why Hugh liked her so much.

He clenched his fists, and then turned around and left.

In the apartment, Malcolm was standing by the window with a cigarette in his hand. He was absent-minded with his upper body only wearing a shirt. He raised his hand and took a puff from time to time. The red spots on his cigarette butt flickered from time to time.

Ding Dong

The bell suddenly rang, Malcolm turned back in his sense. He wanted to put out the cigarette, but there was no ashtray in front of him. He frowned and directly pressed the cigarette on the windowsill and rolled it. After the cigarette was out, Malcolm walked to the door of the apartment and opened it. What he saw was Poppi. They saw that Poppi was carrying large shopping bags in both of her hands, with something unknown in her mouth, gasping for air and her eyes seemed a little ferocious.

"How can you..." Poppi hummed and shook her head, hinting to Malcolm to help her. But Malcolm gave her a cold look and turned around to walk back.

Bang

As soon as he turned around, he heard something falling on the ground behind him, and then came the complaining voice of Poppi, "ah! Fell! Malcolm, please help me! Really tired! I bought a lot of things! "

Malcolm frowned and didn't want to talk to her. When he was about to take a step, he heard Poppis voice changing. She stuttered, "Malcolm Ah! "

"You..." Malcolm turned around and saw Poppi tottering towards him with two shopping bags in her hands. Subconsciously, he reached out his hands and opened his arms. He stumbled back and bumped his waist on the door. The pain made him gasp.

At the moment when Poppi was about to fall down, she had already threw the shopping bag away. Holding Malcolm with her arms like a koala bear, she screamed, "it's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

Malcolm stared at her hair with clenched teeth and shouted, "get out of here!"

Poppi took a deep breath. Just when she was about to stand up with fear, she suddenly smelled the tobacco from Malcolm. She looked up, blinked her watery eyes and asked, "have you smoked?"

"…… Yes. " Malcolm replied. A light fragrance came into his nose and he was a little stunned. Then he realized the feeling of Poppi being close to him and his body was getting closer and closer to her.

"Why do you smoke?" Poppi asked and sniffed at him like a puppy.
