We Got Love, The Crazy Kind novel Chapter 10

The moment she opened the door, Amber felt a sudden rush of embarrassment.

Her tiny house was about to be presented entirely in front of Liam. With his upbringing, he would certainly not let his face give anything away, but Amber could already sense his condescending sense of superiority.

Abby was sitting at her desk with a cell phone in her hand. When she heard the door open, a mixture of worry and happiness could be heard in her tone as she asked, "Amber, why didn't you answer the phone? Did it get wet in the rain?"

Abby was still wearing the same jacket and it was slightly damp on the shoulders. It seemed that her teacher had sent her home. Amber heaved a sigh of relief. She went over to Abby and rubbed her hair. "I didn't hear the phone ring. I’m sorry for making you worry."

Abby fumbled around Amber’s wet clothes and was about to push her into the bedroom to change. Suddenly, she paused, raised her head, and sniffed the air like a young animal. "Amber, did you bring someone back?"

Her long and thick eyelashes slightly fluttered as she looked in Liam's direction.

Liam examined Abby quietly. He suddenly understood why Amber would rather risk her reputation than fake a marriage with him—Abby was a stunning beauty!

It was as if God knew how perfect her looks were and hence, deliberately placed a minor flaw on her.

Her large yet blank eyes were as gentle as that of a doe’s. Even Liam, who was accustomed to all kinds of beauty, took pity on her.

"Abby, don't be afraid. That’s my colleague," Amber explained to Abby while making eye contact with Liam.

Liam introduced himself sagely. "Hello, I'm Liam Croft."

After all, Abby was just a little girl and didn’t know how to hide her thoughts. When she heard his voice, she tilted her head and smiled sweetly. "Mr. Croft, you have a nice voice. You smell good too!"

Liam’s scent? Amber froze and thought: What scent did Liam have?

Liam smiled and made a rare joke. "Thank you for the compliment. You are the first person to compliment me on my scent."

Amber’s eyes widened in surprise. Oh my! Liam was joking! Liam, the unfeeling man who was as cold as ice, was actually joking with Abby!”

Perhaps it was the cozy atmosphere that suddenly lightened Amber's mood. After pouring a cup of hot tea for Liam, Amber saw that he was still standing in the center of the living room and addressed him. "Do have a seat! Make yourself at home!"

She felt ill at ease when the words left her mouth. Was Liam disgusted with the worn-out and shabby-looking couch?
