Obviously, he wanted to revoke her lawyer’s license and teach her a lesson, but in the end, not only did he return her lawyer’s license to her, he also helped her bring Xu Guohua down. The moment he blocked the acid for her, she was not the only one who was surprised, even he himself was surprised.
Sammy Jones probably didn’t even know what she was doing at the moment, just touching the source of that wetness and holding on for dear life, sucking it into her mouth. Joey Xu’s scalp tingled and exploded as she sucked on it, his body tensing up.
Damn it!
This woman could always easily bring out the desire in his body.
The most depressing thing was that he couldn’t touch her now! If he kept kissing her, he would sooner or later die from the fire!
Joey Xu was about to back away from her lips, and she seemed to be still intent on letting go reluctantly. He bit her lightly in pain and helplessness, “Stop it, if you keep it up, I want you!”
The dull voice was full of warning.
She seemed to understand again, her eyelashes fluttering. joey Xu reached over and brought the medicine and water, shoving the yellow pill between her lips first, obviously bitter to the core, her brow furrowing against her tongue as she tried to spit it out.
Joey Xu frowned, “No throwing up!”
She wouldn’t comply.
He took his hand and pressed it against her lips and warned in her ear, “Sammy Jones, be good, if you spit it out, you’ll have to swallow it even if I feed it to you through my mouth!”
She flattened her lips in dissatisfaction, but, she didn’t spit it out again. The way she frowned and endured the bitterness was particularly delicate, like she was pampered, looking like a child.
Joey Xu’s heart actually had an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if he was being relied on by her. Only then did he take the cup of water and touch her lips, letting her drink it down. She drank a bit quickly, choked at once, Joey Xu rushed to pat her back.
“Sister Ann!”
He called out.
Sister Ann came up in a hurry, “What can I do for you, sir?”
“Bring the hair dryer over here and plug it in.” Joey Xu hadn’t let go of Sammy Jones in his arms since.
His wanting look, Sister An saw it in her eyes, and in her heart, she naturally sweated for Zhao Yuanyuan. Mr. Xu is afraid that he is really in love with Miss Jones …
“What are you still waiting for?” Seeing that Sister An didn’t move, Joey Xu prodded again.
Sister Ann didn’t dare to slow down, she was busy rummaging through the bathroom to get the hair dryer out and plug it in, “Do you need me to blow for Miss Jones?”
“No need, leave it to me.”
Reaching over, he took the hair dryer from Ann’s hand and skillfully pressed the button and aimed it at her hair. He’d really never served a woman before, so the hot air blowing on Sammy Jones’ head burned her scalp, and she ducked as hard as she could.
Just thinking she was being disobedient again, Joey Xu grabbed her back and held her down in his arms, “Don’t move for me! If you don’t blow dry your hair, you’ll have a hard time tomorrow.”
Sammy Jones just had to take a hand and wave it around wildly.
It hurts, okay?
Who the hell blows their hair with a hair dryer this close? That hot wind can burn your hair, okay?
Sister Ann couldn’t help but cough as she watched from the side.
As soon as Joey Xu turned around and saw that she was still there, he said, “What are you still staying here for? Go out and rest, there’s nothing for you here.”
“Sir, that … can’t be that close when you’re blow drying your hair. It must have burned Miss Jones, she looks uncomfortable.”
It was only after Ann reminded her of this that Joey Xu realized that she was frowning all the time, and even reached up to rub her head.
He hurriedly raised the hair dryer higher and looked at Ann, “How about this?”
“Well, that’s much better. You pay attention, you have to change the position after blowing for a while, if you blow for a long time, it will be so hot that it hurts.” Sister An taught him.
He responded, and only then did he begin to slowly get on with it.
He couldn’t be blamed for being so uneducated, for one thing, he had never taken care of a woman so handily; for another, his hair was so short that he usually dried it with a towel and hardly ever used a hair dryer.
Blow-drying her hair as An taught her, Sammy Jones was really much more comfortable. No longer hiding, but instead more tightly into his arms, that soft body against his arms, he greatly satisfied. He has been holding up the hair dryer, and did not feel sore hands.
She got comfortable, closed her eyes, and fell into a quiet sleep.
Joey Xu waited until her hair was all dried before setting the hair dryer aside, and then, tucking her carefully under the covers. Joey Xu looked at her with deep eyes before going to the bathroom to get himself cleaned up.
out, dimmed the lights in the room, lifted the covers, and pulled her into a contented sleep.
It was a satisfying night, lying with her, even if nothing happened.
Gradually, he seemed to understand somewhat what exactly Zhao Lanlan meant by what he said.
Sleeping through the middle of the night, Sammy Jones was woken up by the heat.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was a little confused, and didn’t even know where she was. Until the side of the even breathing, turn your head, see Joey Xu’s absolutely handsome face, slightly stunned after suddenly realized that she is sleeping in his bed.
Gradually …
Thinking of that scene in the rain, of that one kiss, of him bringing himself home to …
And …
In a trance, she seemed to see Jo Yuanyuan.
In the heart, it gripped and hurt.
The head, resting on his arm, moved gently away. She whirled around, falling back to face him with her back.
And him, centimeters away.
His arms were empty, and he turned with them. Without waking, but as if by instinct, he reached out and grabbed her in his arms and wrapped them around her.
“Joey Xu …”
She tried to struggle, but, he didn’t move and only wrapped his arms tighter. The scent wrapped around her, causing her heart to tremble slightly, and in the end, she just let out a helpless sigh of relief and turned to face him.
He was still asleep, his eyelashes thick and unusual in the hazy light.
Why did he bring himself back when they had clearly agreed to be strangers from then on?
Does he know that this will only make her feel worse and fall deeper …
Does he know that she is afraid that if she continues like this, she won’t be able to live in style anymore …
Morning.
Sammy Jones woke up early.
However, she didn’t open her eyes, just stayed quietly curled up in his arms.
And then …
The cell phone rang.
It’s Joey Xu’s.
He was woken up in a daze. Instead of answering the phone right away, he just dropped his eyes to look at the woman in the crook of his arm to make sure she wasn’t rattled, and hurriedly brought the phone over to grab it to his ear.
“Joey Xu, you come here right now at once!”
On the phone, yelling low, was an unfamiliar voice. It was loud enough that even Sammy Jones could hear it.
Joey Xu didn’t say anything, only to hear another low growl from over there, “I’ll give you one hour, come over here and straighten things out with me and Yuan Yuan! Yuan Yuan said that yesterday when she tried on wedding dresses, not only did you leave her alone, but you also brought another woman home! You’re such an asshole, do you even care about my daughter and our Zhao family?”
Sammy Jones heard it plainly and with a heart of gold.
It looked like it was his own presence last night that had caused the fiancées to quarrel. Now it was his prospective father-in-law who had come to the door …
Sammy Jones’ heart was so tight that even his breathing was strained, his eyes closed, only to hear Joey Xu calmly say, “I know, come right over.”
There were no extra words, the phone, was hung up.
Sammy Jones still slept there, uncontrollably reminded of the sharp words that Jo had said the first time she’d seen him.
The third party that sabotaged their relationship …
“Sammy Jones?” called Joey Xu as he turned to her and called down to her. She still maintained her even breathing, not opening her eyes. And then …
His warm palms probed her forehead and felt a slight sigh of relief that there was no more fever.
Instead of waking her again, he pulled his hand from under her neck. Her arm was still sore from being pillowed by her all night last night. He got out of bed before rubbing his arm and changing his clothes to go out from his room.
He didn’t notice the woman on the bed fluttering her eyelashes at the sound of the door to the room.
“Sister An, get breakfast ready for when she wakes up.” Joey Xu ordered as she went downstairs.
Sister An was doing hygiene in the hall and was busy answering when she heard the order. Seeing that he looked like he was about to go out, she asked, “Aren’t you going to eat breakfast?”
“Uh, no. I’m going to the Jo’s.”
Sister Anne sighed, as if she wanted to say something, and then eventually stopped talking.
Joey Xu, a dry person, looked at her and said, “Say what you have to say, don’t stammer.”
“Miss Hope cried a lot last night when she left.”
Joey Xu mused, not making a sound.
Sister An eyes and nose, see he did not move, and then continued: “In fact, Miss Yuan Yuan is really not easy, yesterday they held these wedding dresses back, aggrieved to the point of tears. Last time back on the first day of Miss Yuan Yuan Miss Jones hit the hood face, the heart is particularly hurt, but also has been endured and you have not mentioned.”
Joey Xu’s brow furrowed as he turned his face to Sister An, “They’ve met, you say?”
“It was touch and go.” Sister Ann nodded.
So says …
Sammy Jones avoided him last time and wanted to clear the air with him because of Jo? She knew about his relationship with Jo?
Does she care about that so much that she’s been messing with him for so long?
Realizing this, the corners of Joey Xu’s lips rose slightly and waved his hand, “Alright, I know this matter in my heart. When Miss Jones wakes up in a while, tell her to wait for me at home, I’ll send her back.”
Sister Ann nodded, “Good.”
She had said all the good things she needed to say on behalf of Zhao Yuanyuan, and as for what Joey Xu was planning, it wasn’t up to her as an underling to decide. Sister An didn’t say anything else and just did her part.
It was only when she heard the sound of the car downstairs that Sammy Jones sat up from her bed. Her head, which had a slight ache, leaned back against the bed, and her vision, through the window, could faintly see the familiar car exiting the garage. The heart was empty.
Touching her hair, vaguely remembering the gentleness with which he had blown out her hair last night, she only felt like she was dreaming. Yet, again, it was clearly so real. Now even the hair dryer is still on the bedside …
What the hell was he thinking?
Are you really that happy to be in the middle of her and Zhao Yuanyuan? After coaxing her, he’s now running to Zhao’s house to coax Zhao Yuanyuan. …
Doesn’t he ever get tired?
Sammy Jones lifted the covers and got off the bed. His body was clean clothes, and he thought that Joey Xu must have helped him to change. She really can’t figure him out …
Pull open the door to the room and walk out.
“Awake?” Sister Ann placed her clean clothes on the couch, “Miss Jones, here are your clothes, they’ve been washed.”
“Thanks.” Sammy Jones walked down the stairs and looked at Ann, “Trouble you again.”
“Miss Jones is too kind, breakfast is ready, why don’t you, after you change?”
“Good.” Sammy Jones turned to the sofa to get the clothes. Included in her eyes, were several sets of white wedding dresses, she was slightly stunned for a moment, her heart felt like it was being tugged by something, especially painful. Turning her eyes, a dozen red invitations were exceptionally dazzling, piercing her eyes raw.
