Christine White stuttered at the inexplicable tension in her heart at his look, “What’s the reason?”
“I love you.” Baird Lane spat out three words with a serious look on his face.
Christine White’s mind instantly went blank, the whole person was shocked, it took a while to find his voice, “You … What did you say?”
“I said I love you, so I’m not getting a divorce!” Baird Lane looked her in the eye.
Pfft, pfft!
Christine White could clearly hear her heart beating loud and fast at the moment, as if it was about to give out of her throat.
He … He actually said love to her!
Is that a confession?
Christine White was so shocked and delighted that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.
Although Ives Norton and Aunt Lucy had both said he loved her before, she’d never really believed it.
But now, he was saying ‘I love you’ to her face, in person.
No woman could resist such a shock, she thought.
“Thinking about what?” Baird Lane reached out and waved his hand in front of Christine White’s face.
Christine White’s eyes flickered and she subconsciously took a step back, a little afraid to look at him, “Didn’t think anything of it… what you just said, is it true?”
“You think I’m lying to you?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
Christine White pressed down on her chest to hold back the emotions that were churning inside her, pretending to be calm, “Yes, I just think you’re lying to me, you said you love me, so when did you fall in love with me? And how did you fall in love with me, you should say it, right?”
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “I’m sorry I can’t say it, but I know that you’ve lived inside me without me realizing it.”
“Would I believe you if you said that?” Christine White bit her lower lip, “You said it too, you can’t even tell me when you fell in love with me, how do you expect me to believe you love me?”
“You don’t have to believe it, but I’ll prove it in time.” Baird Lane said in a solemn tone.
Christine White grunted, “Then show me how you can prove it!”
After saying that, she stopped paying attention to him, pushed open the door to the courtyard and went inside.
Once inside, she jogged all the way, running into the room and slamming the door behind her before she grabbed her chest and slowly slid down the door panel, sliding down to crouch on the floor.
At this moment, she could no longer maintain the composure she had just displayed in front of Baird Lane, and buried her head in her knees and cried and laughed.
The funny thing is, Baird Lane actually confessed to her in person, which in the past, was the sentence she wanted to hear the most, whether it was true or not, she would definitely be happy for a few days and nights unable to sleep, and felt that her silent waiting had finally paid off.
But now … She was happy too, but more than that, she was still heartbroken, why didn’t he say it to her earlier, and came to tell her that he loved her only when she was disappointed in him, how could she respond to that?
If she responds, she’s sorry for the boy, but if she doesn’t, she’s sorry for her feelings, so what should she do?
The more she thought about it, the more it overwhelmed her heart, and by the end of the day Christine White was crying out completely.
Aunt Lucy stood outside the door listening to her cries and was so worried that she hurriedly dropped what she was holding and went out into the yard to find Baird Lane, “Sir.”
Baird Lane was on the phone when he heard her call out, and raised his hand slightly in a waiting motion, signaling that he would say something later.
Aunt Lucy probably also guessed that this call from him was important, even if she was worried about Christine White in her heart, she had to wait for the time being.
After waiting about two minutes, Baird Lane put his cell phone away and turned around, “What did you just call me about?”
“It’s not me, it’s Mrs.” Aunt Lucy pointed to the house.
Baird Lane’s eyes sank, “What happened to her?”
“Mistress is crying, crying very hard, sir you should hurry and go and see.” Aunt Lucy urged.
Baird Lane frowned slightly, “Why is she crying?”
“That I don’t know.” Aunt Lucy shook her head.
Baird Lane narrowed his eyes and stopped asking questions, but simply took three long strides into the house.
Standing in the doorway of his room, he first twisted the door, but found that it wouldn’t budge!
Realizing that the door to the room had been unlocked by Christine White, Baird Lane’s handsome face sank, “Christine White, open the door!”
He knocked twice on the door panel.
Christine White looked up and casually wiped her eyes with her sleeve before standing up and opening the door.
“Were you just crying?” Baird Lane looked at her.
Christine White sniffled and gave a choked hmmm in her voice.
“Tell me, why are you crying?” Baird Lane reached up and cupped her chin, lifting her face up.
Her small face was red, her eyes were also red, her tears were hanging on her eyelashes and hadn’t dried up yet, her whole person looked pitiful, making people want to bully her.
Looking at such Christine White, Baird Lane’s eyes darkened, the knot in his throat slid a little, and there was a dry heat in his body that was running around restlessly.
Christine White didn’t notice the difference in the man, she took his hand off her chin and returned with a fake coldness, “I cried when I thought of something sad, Mr. Lane what did you want to see me about?”
Her cool tone and the phrase Mr. Lane were like a bucket of ice water that completely doused Baird Lane’s sizzling mind.
He pursed his thin lips, his voice carrying obvious displeasure, “I told you, we’re still married, you don’t have to call me Mr. Lane, what you called me before, you call me now.”
“But I think it’s a nice way to be called. “Christine White won’t change her mind.
Baird Lane stared at her coldly.
Christine White was stared at a bit and subconsciously had to step back.
But just as he took a step back, he was yanked into the man’s arms.
“Well …” Christine White stifled a grunt, her shoulder hurting from the impact.
“Where did you hit?” Baird Lane asked her, looking down.
Christine White refused to talk, struggling to get out of his arms.
However Baird Lane doesn’t let go of her, instead he wraps his arms around her tighter, “And such a strong struggle, that doesn’t look like it hit anywhere.”
As soon as she heard this, Christine White was instantly infuriated and struggled even harder, “Mr. Lane, get the hell off me!”
Baird Lane remained unmoved, letting her move around in his arms.
Looking at her look of exasperation as she couldn’t break free from his arms no matter how much she moved, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, his mood a little bit better, “Want me to let go of you can, call me by my name!”
“No!” Christine White didn’t even think about it and refused outright.
“Are you sure?” Baird Lane wasn’t disappointed, and a glint darted across his eyes.
Christine White caught it and mentally thumped, “What do you … What do you want?”
Often when he gave such a look, or spoke in such a rhetorical tone, it meant that he had something in mind.
He wasn’t going to threaten her with something again, was he?
Thinking about this, Christine White became uneasy, breathing much heavier, her eyes gurgling and darting about.
Baird Lane could see her nervousness and gave a low chuckle, “I don’t want to do anything, it’s just that if you keep moving, I’m not really sure what I’m going to do.”
“What do you mean?” Christine White was a little unresponsive for a moment.
“You bet.” Baird Lane leaned in and blew a soft hot breath in her ear.
Christine White immediately shrunk her neck, she is not a fool, how could he not feel such an obvious tease, and then combined with his words just now, what else did she not understand, all of a sudden her face was red as if it was dripping blood, “You … You …”
She’s been you for half a day and hasn’t you a word.
The curve of Baird Lane’s mouth grew thicker, “What’s wrong with me?
