Her silence, once again, made Jerry Xiao’s heart, sink, sink, sink into the abyss. Broken into pieces. He, actually still like a fool with a hint of expectation, thought that she would really love herself, really never betrayed himself …
But what’s the result?
He hated that she shouldn’t have aroused his anticipation again like this, and his large palm roughly clasped her lower jaw in one swift motion, “Zoey Baker, if you mention one more word to me about that night, I’ll make sure that your company is finished immediately!”
The more he mentioned it, just the more he was reminded that he was redundantly stupid! Like a fool, letting her play with him!
“Okay, I can keep it to myself.” Zoey looked at him, “But in the future, I hope you can keep it out of your mouth, too.”
Those things, mentioning them, were nothing more than a form of torture for each other. It puts them at a stalemate. So what if she was framed? Even so, it couldn’t erase the facts between her and Owen. Besides, even the police didn’t have any evidence, how could she identify Nabi Yan?
Jerry Xiao didn’t answer her, just gave her a heavy look, took the key to the door and pushed it in. Zoey followed him, carrying her luggage through the door.
He was obviously still angry, and after entering the door, he didn’t talk to her anymore, and only went upstairs to get a bathrobe and went directly into the bathroom. Looking at that cold and hard back, Zoey sighed helplessly.
Since he didn’t arrange it, she dragged her luggage and automatically headed for the room where the children used to stay. In the future, she would stay here!
Zoey packed her bags one by one and came out of her room. Looking down the entire hall, there was no sign of him either. With a sideways glance, only a light was on in the study.
Tonight, it was obvious that he had been drinking again, and now he had to hold up his job. At this rate, how will his body survive?
Zoey wrinkled her nose and went downstairs to make a glass of milk.
The door to the study, knocked several times, but no one answered. It couldn’t be that his condition had flared up and he had fainted inside, right? Her heart immediately twisted into a ball, she could not care less, she took it upon herself to push open the door and went in.
There was no sign of him at the desk. She hurriedly put the milk down and sprinted over to the bookshelf, “Jerry!”
No one responded to her. The study was huge, with rows and rows of bookshelves topping the beams, running all the way down to who knows how many rows. Zoey hung back, poking her head into each row, “Jerry, are you there or aren’t you?”
No, still no …
“Jerry!”She had already probed a large portion of the room and still did not see him or hear his response. Zoey was so afraid that he had really fainted here. She had consulted the doctor again, and it was getting more and more dangerous in his current condition. Once fainted, if no one found it, it is very likely to die suddenly … Thinking of the word ‘death’, she could not help but shiver. Suddenly there was no courage to even go inside. He is clearly in the study, but, why even his breath, can not feel? Why, he shouldn’t be himself either?
“Jerry, are you there or not? Don’t you scare me!”
“What are you making so late?” A voice, suddenly, came from in front of another row of bookshelves she had already crossed. He was? He really was!
She backed away sharply and looked around, only to realize that he was currently climbing the ladder to reach the topmost book. At the moment, the book was in his hands. He was looking down at Zoey’s rapidly reddening eyes, his dark eyes flickering slightly.
Seeing him safe and sound, Zoey’s heart finally fell to the ground. The tip of her nose was slightly sour. She was so anxious to call him, he should not, is deliberately let her worry sad! He didn’t know that she was in a hurry?
“I made you a glass of milk, you come down and drink it, I’ll go out first.” Holding back the tinge of sourness in her nose, she spoke faintly, and no longer glancing at him, she gamely turned around and left. He, can be really excessive! Really enjoys seeing her sad look so much?
But before Zoey could take more than a few steps, there were footsteps behind her. He was not in a hurry, still calm, Zoey gamely accelerated the pace, but where is she a match for the long-footed him?
Within a few steps, he caught up with her. Her slender elbow was suddenly pulled from behind. Her entire body was yanked around, and when she turned around, she was met with a pair of complex dark eyes. She was still angry about what had just happened, so she tried to struggle out, “Let go of me.”
But his strength was several times greater than hers, so how could she break free? Instead, with a raise of his hand, her entire body was pinned to the row of bookshelves behind her. The solid wood pressed against her back, slightly chilling.
The bottom of his eyes were dense with danger, gazing at the pupils of those eyes that were glittering with tears, the color of his eyes became slightly deeper by several points.
“Don’t pull me, I want out.” Zoey, still in a foul mood, made a move to push him. His lanky form, took a step back, and as she used it to get out, he once again pulled her back heavily again. Not waiting for her to react again, he forced his entire body over, and the distance between them was suddenly only centimeters.
The crystal chandelier in the study, bright and dazzling, in the bottom of each other’s eyes covered with a layer of shimmering luster. Such a close distance between each other, and the atmosphere is quiet as hell, ears scattered are the sound of each other’s heartbeat.
Zoey let out an unavoidably heavy gasp as she heard his warmth-less voice slow to a whisper, “Are you messing with me?”
She pursed her lips stubbornly without responding, but she turned her face away, gamely not looking at him. The message, conveyed, could not have been more obvious.
He grunted, “Who are you to mess with my temper? Zoey Baker, figure out what you are in front of me now?”
Zoey’s entire body froze for a split second, a ghastly white color crossing her face. He had to keep coming back like this to remind her how humble she was now …
“I didn’t lose my temper.” Zoey lowered her eyes and slowly lifted them again, hiding the coldness in her heart and looking at him calmly, “It’s late, you drink the milk and go to bed early. I should also rest …”
She’s leaving. Even the words that came out of her mouth were so calm. Light, as if no matter how sharp his words, she did not care. This makes Jerry Xiao more and more angry, as if the hard punch, but smashed in the cotton general.
His eyes sank as he grabbed her and insisted on not letting go, instead probing his hand and scooping her entire body into his arms. She was so shocked that she struggled, but he trapped her entire body firmly with his long arms and legs. His legs suppressed her knees, and he yanked over her hands so that she was holding onto his waist.
In the next instant, holding her face, a fierce wolf kiss. Those thin lips, falling on the lips, seemingly merciless torture, but also like a deep claim, Zoey only felt that her mind was blank, and she did not return to her senses for a long time.
But he suddenly retreated from between her lips and bent his head to stare at her fixedly. There was fire jumping in those eyes, as if it would jump out at any time and burn her whole person.
Zoey just felt her mouth go dry as his breath dissipated, leaving her with an unspeakable sense of loss.
“Kiss me!”

She’s, like, a leprechaun.

…
Two entwined figures, from the edge of the bookshelf, to the carpet, to the desk …
He was wild as a tornado and never let go of her at any moment. And with the best of patience and gentleness, she took in all his dominance …
At this moment, Zoey doesn’t want to think about what will become of them after all this passion dissipates. At this moment, she only wanted to try hard to touch his soul …
Early in the morning, Zoey woke up out of habit. Last night, she hadn’t been able to sleep in the kids’ room after all. Last night, he was like an insatiable child, pestering her and not letting go at all. Thinking about those images from last night, Zoey couldn’t help but feel her mouth dry.
Turning around, her hand inadvertently touched the spot beside her, there, it was already empty. She subconsciously touched it, and the temperature belonging to him still remained.
Looking up at the time, it was only just after 8 o’clock. He, presumably, hadn’t gone to the office yet, had he?
