“Okay.”
Callum rinsed his mouth and drank the entire bottle of pure water. Aurelia hadn’t even unscrewed the bottle cap yet, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you seem so thirsty?”
“I have durian breath.”
Fine! It turned out he didn’t like durian.
Aurelia secretly took note of his action and decided that if he irritated her again next time, she would buy him a big durian and force him to eat it!
Aurelia watched him throw the empty bottle into the trash can, licked the corner of her lips, a malicious smile flashing across her face.
“Hey! Callum!” She suddenly jumped in front of him.
Callum hummed.
Aurelia suddenly hugged his waist, stood on tiptoes and kissed his thin lips.
This was the first time, no, the second time that Aurelia took the initiative to kiss him.
Callum was slightly stunned, and when he realized what Aurelia wanted to do, he immediately tried to pull away from her. Aurelia held him tightly and moved her tongue back and forth several times.
She hadn’t rinsed her mouth after having the durian pizza.
After making sure that he tasted the durian, Aurelia quickly let him go. Callum helplessly looked at the little girl who was so proud of her little trick and walked towards the store again.
“I want to go home! Now!” Aurelia deliberately stopped him from going and pulled his arm hard, leading him to the car.
Under the street light, Aurelia just opened the passenger door and was about to push Callum in, but he closed the door with force.
The next moment, she fell into an embrace after the world spun around. Callum pressed her against the car door and kissed her red lips hard.
Inside the Car.
Aurelia didn’t know when she was pushed in. She only knew that when Callum was about to go further, his cell phone rang, the intimacy and passion in the car gone.
He seemed not to want to care about it, but Aurelia came to her senses and quickly pushed him away, struggled to get up and got out of the car.
When she got into the driver’s seat, Callum had already answered the call. He spoke again with a slightly hoarse voice, “Is that it?”
“Alex, we’ve found some clues about that woman’s whereabouts, but… I won’t tell you!” he said and decisively hung up the phone. As if this was not enough to vent his anger, he turned off the phone directly.
Back at the villa, Aurelia parked the car, grabbed the car keys, and rushed into the villa quickly.
As she was going up the stairs, she heard Callum’s voice from behind her, “What’s that next to you?”
“Huh? What?” Aurelia stopped and looked back at him in confusion.
“I seemed to see a figure. Maybe I was seeing things!”
She gritted her teeth and continued to walk upstairs. There was no light in the corridor, so she took out her cell phone and turned on the flashlight.
“I just watched a movie yesterday. It was about a man who chopped up his love rival and hid the body in the freezer, under the bed, in the closet…”
“Callum!” Aurelia’s voice, close to screaming, interrupted him.
The man suppressed his smile. “I’m here. What’s wrong?”
Aurelia gritted her teeth at this vindictive man, “I won’t let you eat durian next time!”
“Oh.” With that, he went up the stairs.
That was not his purpose. As if he hadn’t known Aurelia was afraid, he would have continued to ask, “Do you believe in ghosts?”
Aurelia waited until he came up and covered his mouth fiercely, “Shut up! Don’t say anything again! If you dare to say another word, believe it or not, I…”
She really didn’t know how to threaten a man whose martial arts were much better than hers, so she just looked at him pitifully, as if she was about to cry.
In fact, she wasn’t pretending. She really wanted to cry.
She would go to school tomorrow to find out who told Callum that she was afraid of darkness and ghosts and break off her friendship with him!
Her fame was ruined by her weakness.
“Okay, good night.” Having achieved his goal, Callum suppressed the urge to hug her and walked towards the room.
12 o’clock in the morning.
In the dead of night, the door of the room was opened from the outside with a rustling sound. The man lying on the bed in the dark raised the corners of his lips, closed his eyes, and pretended to fall asleep.
Soon, a girl’s fragrance filled his nose, and then a person lay down next to him.
Aurelia quietly approached Callum. Phew! Fortunately, he fell asleep.
It was all his fault! Before he moved back, she could barely sleep alone. Ever since he took her to the cemetery late at night, she seemed to be even more timid.
But fortunately, he gave her a strong sense of security, and as long as she lay next to him, she was not afraid!
After lying down carefully, she snuggled up to him with her eyes closed and went to sleep.
Aurelia, who had planned to sneak back to her room before dawn the next morning, accidentally slept until dawn. She sat up from the bed and took a sleepy look at the surroundings.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and all sleepiness disappeared.
A man who had just come back from a run and a shower, with his lower body wrapped in a bath towel, was answering the phone on the balcony with his back to her.
It was the first time she had seen Callum half naked.
Although they slept together for two nights, she came over late at night each time and never saw Callum just out of the shower.
His incredible physique made her unable to help but have wild thoughts.
Just by looking at his strong back, she could imagine that he had a six-pack.
Aurelia quietly reached for the phone next to her pillow, tapped the Camera icon, and took a picture!
She felt extremely satisfied with her work.
At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She put down her phone, narrowed her eyes, and pointed her two index fingers together at Callum, murmuring,”Drop!”
Looking at the bath towel still tightly wrapped around Callum, Aurelia really wanted to learn magic at this moment, so that she could take off the towel.
Just as she was fantasizing, Callum, who was answering the phone, suddenly turned around and caught her little move.
Aurelia quickly withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and rolled out of Callum’s room holding the pillow.
Back in the room, she scratched her head. Now that he found out that she had quietly climbed onto his bed, would he overthink it? Oh! Who cared? Anyway, he was her husband. It was natural for them to sleep in the same bed.
She took out her phone and happily posted an update, saying, “I woke up in the morning and opened the window. What a sunny day! I saw butterflies and smelled the fragrance of flowers. Everything is as beautiful as a picture. Watching you from a distance made everything so beautiful in my life.”
The uploaded picture was the one she had just taken of Callum.
Anyway, Callum didn’t follow her WhatsApp account, so he wouldn’t find out that she took a photo of him and posted it on social media. Even if her friends on social media saw the photo, they wouldn’t know it was Callum. Though there would be rumors going around…
