In contrast to her unease, Kent was like an outsider from start to finish, unconcerned in the slightest, bathing so openly that Blanche Rodriguez could almost hear his subdued humming of a ditty from within the room.
“Swish!”
The bathroom door was pulled open in an instant and Blanche Rodriguez shrank back into one of the corners of the bed in shock and stared at him, “You can stay here tonight, but you’re sleeping on the couch!”
“The couch?”
Kent followed her gaze suspiciously as he wiped his hair, only to see a couch with room for only two people right in front of him.
The corner of his mouth twitched violently, “This couch isn’t half the size of this bed, you want me to sleep on the couch?”
Blanche Rodriguez clenched her lower lip and tensed up again at his words, “Then what else do you want, to sleep on the floor!?”
The floor was a fluffy blanket, not too cold, not too hot, and not impossible to sleep on. But Kent’s mind was already made up and he refused to agree. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get up the next day with a sore back?”
“Then, what else can I do?” She couldn’t help but grit her teeth and glared at him with hatred.
Kent grunted coldly and climbed straight onto the bed after lifting the covers, “This place is this big, where else can I sleep but on the bed?”
“No way! You sleep here, where do I sleep?”
“The bed.” Kent replied matter of factly, “Can’t you and I sleep in this bed?”
“It’s not that, it’s you and me …… both of us ……”
Blanche Rodriguez stammered, unable to get a word in edgewise.
Kent looked at her with a bad smile, “What, you’re afraid I’m going to eat you at this point?”
“I ……”
Blanche Rodriguez was so taken aback that she almost flashed her tongue.
Kent looked up, only then noticing that her hair was still damp and hadn’t even been blown out, and sighed helplessly, only to get up and rummage through the hair dryer.
“Come here.”
Blanche Rodriguez was still pondering what she should do when Kent’s voice was already ringing in her ears.
She looked around at the sound, still wary, “What do you want?”
Blanche Rodriguez didn’t even dare to meet his hot gaze at that moment.
Kent immediately laughed out loud, looking at her being like a little white rabbit that one could never resist bullying, letting him see the way her innocent and scared of him eyes flooded with tears.
“All right, no more fuss.” His voice softened a little, “Come here, I’ll blow your hair out.”
Blanche Rodriguez then noticed that her hair had wet the shoulders of her thin nightgown and she bit her lip, “I’ll do it myself.”
With that, she subconsciously reached for the hair dryer.
Kent raised his hand slightly, dodging it, and with a sharp tug from his other free hand, he easily pulled her into his arms.
Blanche Rodriguez’s heart immediately pounded wildly, like a deer in the headlights.
Before she could escape, the man’s hands were already holding her down, “Well, what are you hiding for, I’m not going to eat you.”
The sound of the hair dryer had already ‘buzzed’, she pillowed on his lap, her eyes tightly closed, feeling the touch of the bony fingers that kept brushing her long hair, the heart could not say what it was like ……
But she did not see the gentle gaze of the man as he gazed at her at that moment ……
The long hair gradually dried and Blanche lay unguarded and asleep on Kent’s lap.
Kent’s movements were gentle, carefully positioning her body so that she was lying on the bed.
He propped his hands on either side of her head and eventually couldn’t resist slowly planting a kiss on her lips ……
“Blanche Rodriguez, what the hell do you want me to do?”
What would it take to make her completely his?
He shook his head with a bitter smile and turned off the light the moment he lay down on her side, ignoring the woman’s uncontrollably lightly fluttering eyelashes ……
The next morning, Harvey woke up and was furious when he realised he was still sleeping in his cot, and rolled out of bed in a flash, puffing his little legs and rushing to Kent’s room and knocking on the door.
“Uncle, uncle!!!”
The little one’s voice was small, but intimidating.
Kent, who was still sleeping with his sweetheart close to him, was immediately brought back to reality.
Apparently, the other person in the bed was also awakened and, in a cold sweat, he immediately got up, pulled open the door and picked up the little one and ran.
Inside Harvey’s room ……
Kent took a few ragged breaths, and it took him a while to get over the one he had just taken.
“What’s wrong? Did you miss your uncle early in the morning?”
“No, I didn’t!” Harvey crossed his arms, his face puffing out in a cute little way.
Kent couldn’t help but rub his little face, his heart was half-fluttered, “Then why are you looking for your uncle so early?”
“Because uncle cheats!”
“When did I lie to you?” Kent had an innocent look on his face.
Harvey gave him a sultry look, “You still don’t admit it, you clearly promised to carry me to mummy to sleep last night, but I was still in my room, so do you think you lied to me!?”
Kent felt so innocent as he listened to his little one’s vocal demands.
How was he going to explain? That he was going to take him to Elena Bush’s room, but he didn’t expect to bump into the two loving people?
He couldn’t say that to a child. ……
Harvey watched him fall silent and immediately followed up with, “If you don’t say anything, you’re admitting it?”
Kent nodded and shook his head, crying, “Harvey, it’s not that I won’t say yes, it’s that your dad can’t stand you ……”
Harvey froze and reacted instantly with a dazed look.
“I knew it! It must be daddy!” Harvey grunted angrily, “Daddy’s gone too far, I’m going to go after him now!”
“Eh ……”
Kent stopped him just in time, “Harvey, we’re all men and we need to learn to forgive others for their faults.”
“How’s that work?” Harvey looked at him seriously, “Daddy and I said that if there’s a grudge, it must be paid!”
“……”
Kent held his forehead helplessly and couldn’t help but think, “How in the world did Logan Brown teach his kids? I can’t believe these words are coming out of his mouth ……
Harvey grunted and hugged his arm to pout, “Uncle, are you going to help me or not …… If you help me, you have to be on my side!”
