Lovin’ in the Moonlight

The first time I opened my phone, I was expecting to see messages from him all over the screen.

Fairen Evert returned one by one.

“Was eating at that time and my phone was charging, so I didn’t reply.”

“Busy with work.”

There is a direct second back, when the phone twitched, she almost did not hold it steady, and watched the man directly swipe the screen: “That’s nice, it seems you are busier than me at work, huh?”

“So busy that you haven’t returned any of your seventeen phone calls?”

Fairen Evert went through the call log and, as expected, there were indeed a dozen missed calls.

Looking at the time, she turned off her phone at that hour, taking her work seriously, who knew …

“Not in the future.”

“And later? I’m going to transfer you straight to me.”

Fairen Evert refused outright: “No!” Just the image of the two of them working together made her heart flutter.

The way he was, he would have given himself some little job that required no thinking at all, ostensibly a personal assistant or something, but really just the occasional cup of tea or something.

She does not want to do that.

And …

I’ll see you downstairs, or I can come up to you.”

Is she crazy to ask him to come up and find her in person? According to those women in the office, at most half an hour she would be the heroine of some scandal, thinking of this, she hastily refused: “Wait a minute, I’ll be down soon.”

His time is counted in billions, rarely wait for others, most of the time it is others waiting for him.

Without half a moment’s hesitation, his voice was low: “Hurry up.”

Hang up the phone, Fairen Evert can’t help but mutter in his heart, every day to meet, so what is the hurry to do? Obviously just met in the morning.

But it seems like there is no one by his side, except himself, already.

When she was in the car, Fairen Evert was kissed by him and couldn’t breathe for a long time, she opened her eyes in a daze and saw a pair of obscure eyes.

The lights were on and it was raining outside the window, the patter of rain ringing in her ears, hitting the ground, the windows, splashing a small splash of water.

“Why won’t you work around me, huh?”

If not for the fact that her every move was in his line of sight, he might have been so cranky that he would have just gone and caught her back and questioned her.

It was because she knew what she was doing that he was able to resist the urge to go to her for an explanation.

He knew that between them, there was still a lack of something called trust that he was willing to cultivate slowly.

Fairen Evert gasped softly and reached out to push him away a bit, his burning breath affecting her: “I … just don’t want to be too dependent on you. I know that no one in this world is dependable. Isn’t it?”

She really admired her courage for having the guts to say this in full under such an icy stare from him.

Maxton West’s face sank and he suddenly straightened up: “What? I can’t be relied upon either, can I?”

The coldness was expected, but Fairen Evert couldn’t help the shiver that ran through his body.

As if smelling gunpowder in the air, Fairen Evert felt the need to explain something: “My mother, she was a pampered beauty. Since marrying my father, she has lived a life of ten fingers.”

Maxton West inclined his head, frowned slightly, saw her quietly in his memories, held back, those words still did not say out.

Did she know that her own mother was originally a gambler, and if he hadn’t found someone to force psychotherapy on her, she might have stepped into other untouchable areas by now.

For example, drugs . Pin …

“In fact, I knew that my father had cheated on me, he had a woman outside, and it was only then that I learned that my parents’ marriage was nothing more than a parental matchmaker, they originally did not have the slightest affection, but were just forcibly bound together … ”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“After they got married, my father and that woman still had a trace of contact, but unfortunately my mother did not have any financial resources and had to rely on that man, so she kept putting up with it. It’s sad isn’t it?”

Maxton West was silent for a few seconds and raised his eyes to look at her, a hint of heartache slipping across his handsome, flawless face.

“I don’t mean to think you’re like that, it’s just that the first thing I learned in that environment was that girls have to be self-reliant. Because, there is no one in this world who can … protect you all the time for the rest of your life, so you can only protect yourself, can’t you?”

Maxton West was silent and did not answer.

Half a sound, just when the air seemed to freeze, he suddenly spoke: “Okay, I will not interfere with your work in the future, but I also said that you are my people, I naturally will not let you get hurt.”

“Fairen Evert, I want you to know that I am the only one you can always count on.”

She looked back up at him as the rain got heavier that night, as if it wouldn’t stop for a long time, and as if, soon, it would.

A few days later, Fairen Evert was coming home when she suddenly heard a familiar laugh.

When she walked into the cottage, she saw Maxton West holding a baby and talking from a distance.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had eased up considerably, Fairen Evert knew without looking that they must be the only two people around.

With more than one person, he felt sick of running into anyone but himself.

Fairen Evert looked up on the Internet for a long time but could not find any psychological knowledge about this, but probably knew that some children are traumatized from childhood and will naturally pull away from others when they grow up.

Maxton West, for example, is in the more serious category.

“Mom! You’re home late!” Dandre West ran over to hug him.

Maxton West frowned slightly next to him, and only after half a second did he say, “It’s okay to hug once or twice, but more is still disgusting.”

Fairen Evert looked at him with some surprise: “Are you … getting over yourself?”

The heart suddenly warmed, this person, this cold and heartless person, actually will also have such a side.

A certain person coughed lightly, his expression was a little unnatural: “I refuse to answer this stupid question.” He has done so obviously, and still asked, he does not want to face?

Dandre West gently leaned on her ear and laughed: “Mom, just now Dad has been chanting about you … and said that if you don’t come back he will go to the company and kidnap someone.”

Fairen Evert action a stiff, stroked his hair, smiled towards the two: “You guys stay here first, I’ll go in and wash my hands.”

When she left, the atmosphere of the two in situ obviously stiffened a bit.

Dandre West flattened his face: “Am I really your own son?”

If it wasn’t for this dad who is rich and handsome, he would really want to mess with him, he’s such a cute little guy and he actually feels disgusted?

Maxton West touched his nose and glanced at him lightly, “It’s biological, but unfortunately you’re not half as important as your mother.”
