“I know you can protect the children. I’m not afraid of these things.”
“Then why…”
Rosalind sighed, “It’s just that I’ve been through so much and my mindset has changed. I don’t really like planning for the future, and that’s all.”
“Really?” Ulric stared into her eyes, not missing the panic and evasion in them.
“Really.”
“Then listen to me. You don’t have to plan, and I’ll take care of it.” He held Rosalind’s hand and gently rubbed it. “Trust me once, okay?”
Rosalind nodded. “Okay.”
She believed him he would take care of the children, and that he wasn’t like Kennard! Even if she had a falling out with the Walters family, causing a big fuss and even hurting the Walters family, she believed he wouldn’t involve the two children.
…
On the plane, Tilda had already fallen asleep.
She was really tired, not joking.
Johnny sat in front of her seat, also having stayed up all night, but he couldn’t close his eyes at all!
He failed to get her contact information.
He boarded the plane with the intention of confronting Tilda today, but seeing her so exhausted and even shedding tears, her eyes red, he couldn’t bear to continue.
He knew how tough it had been for her last night.
Finally, the plane was preparing to land at Northville Airport.
The captain started broadcasting information, which woke up Tilda.
She yawned and stretched as she sat up from her seat, feeling a dark shadow blocking all the light in front of her, making this side pitch black.
Tilda furrowed her brows and looked up…
At this moment, she wanted to describe Johnny as a resentful woman, who was dumped by her husband.
“What are you doing here?”
Tilda had had enough sleep and was full of energy, ready to spar with him.
“After we land, come with me.” Johnny’s tone brooked no refusal or negotiation.
But not for Tilda!
“On what grounds are you ordering me around?”
“On the grounds that I’ve slept with you!”
“I’ve slept with plenty of men. You’re just-” Before Tilda could finish her sentence, she caught the dangerous glint in Johnny’s eyes!
It was as if he wished he could cut out her tongue!
“I’m not satisfied with the results of our earlier discussion. We need to have another talk!”
“Mr. Chow, we’re already in the country now. Can we leave what happened in Sweden behind? If you keep harassing me like this, I might start to think you actually like me!”
Tilda’s words slipped out casually, but it sounded like a huge bell ringing, causing Johnny’s head to buzz!
But-
That didn’t stop his quick-witted mouth!
“Stop flattering yourself. Who would like you?”
Ugh! As soon as those words left his mouth, Johnny wanted to slap himself twice!
Yet, Tilda didn’t get angry at all. Instead, she laughed, “That’s right! Since you don’t like me, then let’s just not see each other again! I promise I won’t mention last night to anyone, and I certainly won’t brag about sleeping with you, Mr. Chow. How about that?”
“Wait a minute. I might not have gotten enough sleep last night. Just follow me to my place, and I’ll sort everything out before we talk again!”
“No way. I’m not going!” Tilda refused with her usual decisiveness. “We’re already in the country. Can’t you just call someone and find a woman right now? Mr. Chow, have you forgotten that this isn’t Sweden? This is Northville City! It’s your territory! Go find your muse, your soulmate!”
