Stanford was an out-of-the-world kind of guy. Phoebe couldn’t imagine him watching Korean dramas.
But indeed, he was watching Korean drama in front of him.
Stanford stood up, turned and looked at Phoebe. He looked serious.
Stanford then explained earnestly.
“You told me that you like watching Korean dramas. So I thought, I could watch a little then get to know you more.”
Phoebe was surprised by what she heard. She widened her eyes.
What did she hear?
The reason why Stanford was watching Korean drama in the middle of the night was her?
So that Stanford can get to know her better?
Oh, dear.
All the uncertainties and sorrow disappeared into thin air right away.
Phoebe had never been happier. She was so excited that she almost flew up into the sky.
Phoebe recalled that she thought Stanford didn’t care when she told him about the romantic flower scenes in Korean dramas. However, it turned out that she got it wrong.
Stanford cared only about what she liked. Phoebe told him that she liked Korean dramas, then he would go and learn about Korean dramas.
It didn’t even occur to Stanford that Phoebe was hinting him to send flowers to her during the proposal. Stanford thought flowers were useless because Phoebe told him that only couples who loved each other would get married.
Phoebe felt funny about the way Stanford thought, but at the same time, she felt blessed.
This was how Stanford showed his affection.
Stanford was standing, and lights shone on half of his face. He looked charming and mysterious.
Phoebe was stunned.
However, Stanford frowned and said softly, “But I didn’t see any good in these dramas. A pair of couples playing the guessing games and struggling in it is simply a waste of time.”
He sounded confused.
“I still don’t understand why you like them, but I will keep watching and see if I’ll understand anything further…”
Phoebe’s heart almost melted when she looked at Stanford’s serious face.
It was the first time Phoebe felt happy when people complained about the dramas she liked.
She couldn’t control the gladness she felt anymore.
Phoebe ran over, tip-toe and kissed Stanford’s lips.
Stanford was stunned and stopped talking.
Stanford looked at Phoebe in a surprised look. The touch of Phoebe’s soft lips shocked Stanford. His mind went blank.
Did Phoebe kiss him?
However, Stanford didn’t feel uncomfortable with the kiss. Instead, he wanted more.
So, he did it.
But Phoebe took a step back. Her cheek flushed red under the dim lights. She looked shy, yet playful like a fox.
“Stop watching those dramas. If you want to know more about me, ask me. Rest well. Good night.”
Then, Phoebe ran out of the room.
She was shy, panic and joyful.
Phoebe ran out of the room so fast.
Stanford was still staring in the direction Phoebe ran away. It was like his heart went away with Phoebe.
Stanford never felt this way.
His heart always skipped a beat.
He lost his head.
He felt extreme happiness.
All these emotions made his mind blank. He looked like a fool who couldn’t think straight.
But, he liked these feelings.
“Women are like poppy seeds. They’re addictive. It’s true.”
Stanford muttered.
The next morning during breakfast time.
Roan frowned and stared at Phoebe.
He asked in a low tone voice, “what’s with those dark circles? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
Phoebe felt guilty. She didn’t dare to look at Roan at all.
Her dark circles were that obvious?
Phoebe was immersed in extreme joy after she kissed Stanford last night. She was skipping as she walked and rolling on her bed again and again. She couldn’t fall asleep at all.
So, Phoebe was awake the whole night.
Phoebe was still in a state of extreme joy, even at this minute.
Roan felt unhappy. He scolded, “What’s keep you up at night? Do you want to ruin your health at such a young age?”
“Don’t exaggerate it. I didn’t sleep well for just a night,” Phoebe argued.
Roan got angrier, “So, you think you’re right? Nobody would run around with dark circles like that…”
Roan stopped before he finished his words.
Roan saw Stanford walked into the dining hall. His face had a pair of dark circles, just like Phoebe.
Roan twitched his lips. He spoke too soon.
Phoebe covered her mouth and laughed out loud. She looked so happy, even her eyes filled with joy.
Stanford looked at Phoebe, and he was reminded of the kiss last night. His heart raced again.
Stanford tried to calm himself down. He pouted and walked towards the dining table.
He sat opposite Phoebe. It was the same spot he’d sit every day.
Roan felt speechless looking at Stanford and Phoebe. Then, he smiled and said, “Mr. Fraser, it is hectic at work? Don’t stress up. Eat more.”
Stanford nodded politely and replied elegantly, “It’s not about work. It’s personal.”
A simple reply from Stanford shocked Phoebe. She couldn’t even hold her chopsticks properly.
Phoebe knew what Stanford meant by ‘personal’.
Her face blushed again when she thought about what happened last night.
Roan could see Phoebe’s every reaction and emotion.
The dark circles and a personal matter? Stanford and Phoebe was initially the subject of a rumour. Roan thought of a possibility.
Were Stanford and Phoebe together last night?
Roan didn’t dare to think further. At the same time, Collin, who woke up late, walked into the dining hall with a bright smile.
Collin looked refreshed.
Collin smiled and said, “You’re all here already? I woke up late. I had a good rest. So, excuse me. Don’t wait up. Start eating.”
Looking at Collin’s well-rested face, Roan felt sorry for him.
Collin was too careless. Stanford was going to steal his girlfriend, and he was still sleeping safe and sound at night? Who knew what Phoebe and Stanford did last night?
Roan felt worried, so he told Collin carefully.
“Collin, you had a good rest last night, but did you know Phoebe didn’t, and her dark circles came out to greet us ‘Good Morning’?”
