Jerry Xiao actually folded back in. With toothpaste in hand.
“Here, put it on.” He handed her the toothpaste in a self-effacing manner.
“Thanks.” Zoey pursed her lips and smiled, accepting it.
“The ribs are cut, so I’m going out first. If … there’s anything else you need help with, look me up again.” He seemed a little uncomfortable.
Zoey didn’t give him a hard time and nodded, so he turned around and went out, leaving the whole kitchen to Zoey.
In the air, in addition to the smell of food, Zoey seems to be able to smell the scent of his own.
…
Jerry Xiao just came out of the kitchen and KK was giggling all the time.
“Uncle, give you a good review!”
His face darkened most of the time, slyly arguing, “She is the female staff of the uncle, I show a little concern, it is also appropriate.”
“Yes Oh! It’s not possible that she happens to be the female employee that Uncle likes, right?”
“How in the world did your mommy teach you? You’ve raised such a precocious demon!” Jerry Xiao was going crazy.
This little shitty kid!
…
Zoey cleaned up the kitchen again and it was 9:00 p. m. KK had fallen asleep early because she had been scared during the day.
The little head rested on Jerry Xiao’s lap, sleeping soundly.
Zoey stared at the scene in awe. The lights were dense with a warm mist of light around them. He gently caressed the child’s forehead, his movements were gentle.
It would have been perfect if Nini had been there at this moment.
Just …
Zoey’s heart crossed a hard line. Leaning closer to him, he was about to speak when he made a ‘shhh’ gesture between his lips.
She laughed and lowered her voice to a whisper, “Let’s take him to bed first. If you fall asleep like this, you’ll catch a cold later.”
Jerry Xiao thought for a moment that she understood children a bit, so he nodded. While hugging the child, he glanced at her and casually said, “If I didn’t know you were still unmarried, I would really suspect that you had given birth to a child.”
His casual remark startled Zoey. He hurriedly smiled awkwardly and covered up vaguely, “I used to bring up children abroad.”
He didn’t think much of it and went upstairs with the baby in his arms. Although he was worried that he would see through it, Zoey was unsure and followed him.
He watched him put the baby in his big bed and tucked him in again before he was relieved.
The driver will pick up KK first thing in the morning, and there will be no problem. He must not be suspicious either.
With that in mind, Zoey was about to leave when she thought about his injury today and said, “Let me look at your back. If it doesn’t work, go to the hospital.”
“It’s okay.” Jerry Xiao gently closed the door and headed downstairs.
“How can it be okay?” Zoey was uneasy and followed quickly, “Jerry, let me take a look.”
Jerry Xiao looked at her, “Are you sure you want to see it?”
“Mmm!” She nodded.
“That’s fine.” Jerry Xiao sat down on the sofa, and with a lift of his hand, he took off the housecoat he was wearing.
Zoey was stunned and immediately looked away. Looking at her shy and embarrassed look, Jerry Xiao raised his eyebrows, “To look or not to look?”
“Sure look!” Zoey hesitated, but turned her face sideways. He turned his back to her and saw only a few bruises on that back that were shocking to the eye.
Zoey drew a cold breath and walked over quickly, “What’s been going on with you guys all day? Pack up, I’ll walk you to the hospital.”
“There’s no need to go to the hospital.” Her worried look made Jerry Xiao’s eyes deepen a bit. He looked at her worried face, “It’s just a few flesh wounds, a little medicine will do the trick.”
“Do you have any medicine? If not I’ll go out and buy them now.”
“Hmm.” Jerry Xiao got up and brought out the medicine cabinet he hadn’t put up earlier, and Zoey rummaged through it, finding the bruising cream. Directing him, “Sit down and I’ll put it on you.”
Jerry Xiao sat down in front of her and turned around, his wound right in front of her eyes, and Zoey put the bruise cream on her fingertips, hesitating before touching his skin.
At the moment of skin-to-skin contact, each other can feel each other’s fine trembling.
The bruising cream is cool and refreshing, while her fingertips are incredibly warm and delicate. The gentle force, little by little on his back in circles, for him to massage. The temperature of the fingertips, magically seeped into his skin, slowly trip to the tip of the heart.
The hazy halo yellow light sets the whole atmosphere more and more cozy.
Miraculously, the painful injury on his back, Jerry Xiao seems not to feel it at the moment, instead the force of the fingertips makes him feel so comfortable that he almost wants to grunt out.
“What happened to you guys today?” Zoey spoke softly, her soft voice not breaking the beautiful atmosphere.
“When I sent my mom away today and drove to the airport highway, I saw this little guy tied up in the back of a car.” Jerry Xiao tried to make light of the situation, but Zoey was still scared to death, her movements completely frozen there, looking at Jerry Xiao incredulously, “You said … kidnapping?!”
“Hmm. You calm down.” Jerry Xiao looked back and didn’t get suspicious when he saw her frightened look. After all, the kidnapping of a child is not a trivial matter.
“This little thing is very resourceful. Know the car tail lights kicked off, reached out a small hand out. I happened to be following that car and kept an eye out, so I went up and cut that car off.”
Zoey almost burst into tears. Even though it was over and the baby was now safe and sound, she couldn’t even imagine what she would do and what Nini would do if KK was really kidnapped.
“So … have you called the police? Are the police looking into the case? Why would the kidnappers want to kidnap them?” Zoey felt her lips tremble. She was already trying her best to hide her emotions, asking questions as she continued to massage him, but her entire focus was already on what had happened this afternoon.
A series of questions, Jerry Xiao only think that Zoey because of love KK, so so nervous. The first thing you need to do is to tell what happened this afternoon. The photo was also mentioned by the way.
Since someone is so close to help KK and Nini take pictures, KK’s vigilance is unlikely to forget who the other party is. since KK is not willing to say, then there is only one possibility …
The other party is someone KK knows, or is simply acquainted with!
But who could it be? Why would they be kidnapped?
Zoey couldn’t figure it out, and she couldn’t ask KK now. The thought of his and Nini’s dangerous situation now made her fidgety.
“What’s wrong with you?” She wandered off once more, and Jerry Xiao finally noticed that something was wrong with her.
“Huh? No … nothing …” Zoey shifted and massaged the bruise on his back before speaking, “Just worried about the kid.”
“Well, when his family comes to pick him up tomorrow, I’ll go over the matter. Tell his family to keep an eye out and go back to the police station to prepare a case.”
Zoey really wanted to say something to him personally, but in the end, she held back. She only inhaled her nose, swallowed all the emotions inside her and said softly, “Luckily, KK met you!”
Maybe it’s fate!
Even if they don’t know each other is the most important one in their lives, but in the dark, he guards KK, and KK gets the most desired love.
…
The night, gradually darkened.
After he applied the medicine, Zoey had no reason to stay any longer. Even though, the atmosphere tonight was so beautiful that she wanted to stay a little longer.
“It’s late, I’ll leave now.” She picked up her bag and got up.
Just go?
Jerry Xiao looked up and saw the time. It was already after 11 o’clock!
Time, passing a little fast …
Jerry Xiao gave her a look and moved his lips, but only said, “I’ll drive you back.”
“No.” Zoey shook her head quickly, “The baby is still asleep upstairs, so if he wakes up and we’re not there, he’ll be scared. He’s a stranger here, after all.” .
Jerry Xiao agreed with her and thought for a moment, putting the key back while handing her over, “Wait here for me for a moment.”
With that, he strides upstairs.
Zoey stood downstairs, looking at his solid back, slightly lost in thought.
If there is a man who can guard your children, guard you, that is already a very happy thing; if that man, also happens to be someone you are willing to love with your life, then this happiness will be infinitely expanded and become as fantastic as now, even you feel like a dream unreal.
Zoey smiled with relief and wanted to take over the baby, but didn’t.
It’s rare for their father and son to be so close, so why should she break it?
“Take him back with you.” Jerry Xiao said with Zoey, nodding his lower chin at the car keys and explaining softly, “Take it.”
Zoey hurriedly grabbed the keys and followed him out the door.
…
On the way, Zoey sat in the passenger seat with KK in her arms. Perhaps because the child was sleeping, he drove the car very slowly and steadily.
The neon lights outside the window flashed, Zoey looked deeply at the sleeping face of her child, occasionally gazing at Jerry Xiao’s calm side face, only to feel a beautiful wisteria growing in the bottom of her heart, climbing little by little to fill her heart and blossom into a beautiful flower.
This moment, if it is possible, she wants to keep it forever …
That night, KK was carried home again by Jerry Xiao, looking at the car, little by little away from his sight, Zoey heart mixed.
When I entered the door, the family was surprised that they were still asleep.
“Zoey , where’s KK? Didn’t you go to pick him up? How come he didn’t come back with you?” Yami Hu asked anxiously.
Sam Baker and Owen Baker also looked at her.
Zoey didn’t know how to explain, but Nini opened her mouth crisply, “KK called Nini today, he’s staying at Daddy’s house!”
“What?” The two elders and Owen Baker both looked at Zoey in shock , “Who is the baby’s daddy?”
Zoey’s forehead was sweating. The child is called daddy when he sees anyone, but it’s just a friend of mine. I heard that when KK got lost this afternoon, he happened to run into him, so the little thing is stuck with him. Tomorrow morning, the driver will pick him up and bring him back.”
Zoey didn’t want everyone to worry and deliberately hid the kidnapping.
Everyone was relieved to hear Zoey say that, while Nini sat on the sidelines sullenly and lost her voice.
“Dad, mom, brother, you all get an early night. Don’t worry, KK will be back tomorrow.” Zoey said as she picked the baby up.
Probably, she could guess why the child was suddenly depressed.
“Hmm. It’s been a long day out there, so you get an early night too.” Yami Hu and Sam Baker got up first. “Zoey , good night.” Owen Baker stroked Nini’s little head and gave her a kiss, “Good night too little princess.”
