Ernesto let out a deep sigh, trying to make his tone of voice calm.
-Since you don’t have the key, why didn’t you call me?
He reached out to grab her shoulders and helped her up. As he bent down to pick up her bag, she suddenly reached out to hug him.
It was rare for Alba to take such an initiative, and Ernesto couldn’t help but hug her tightly.
Alba wrapped her arms around his strong, slender waist and buried her head in his chest.
-Imbecile, you’ve come back so late, but you said you’d be back soon.
He had looked up the takeout on his phone, but hadn’t found anything he wanted to eat. She had wanted to go to his office to look for it, but had been afraid to disturb him on his overtime, besides, she didn’t want to go anywhere.
Thinking he would be back soon, she had sat in the doorway and ended up falling asleep.
Ernesto’s heart ached.
-I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I should have come back early.
-I’m so hungry,” she said with unconscious affection.
Ernesto released her and lowered his head to look at her.
-Didn’t you eat?
Alba raised her head to look at him.
-I just want to eat what you make.
It was her truth, she really just wanted to eat what he made, anything.
Ernesto’s heart ached again.
Ernesto picked up his bag on the floor, took out the key to open the door, paused and looked at the door frame before pushing it open. First he went to turn on the electricity in the house, then he turned on the lights.
Alba rushed in immediately and exclaimed excitedly:
-We’re home at last!
Ernesto looked behind her at her cheerful state, and felt better.
“She considers this place her home, how nice!”
-Ernesto, make dinner, I’m starving!
The familiar tone of command made Ernesto feel extraordinarily close.
He hadn’t heard her voice all day.
-Yes.
It didn’t matter if she would forget him in the future, he had to cherish the moments when she remembered him. Or maybe she wouldn’t really forget him?
Little by little, he might.
Ernesto did his best to adjust his mentality and walked into the kitchen.
As he opened the refrigerator door, he remembered that he had been gone for half a month and there was no food in the house.
He turned his gaze to the dining table through the glass window.
The pretty girl already set the silverware properly on the table and sat in the chair waiting for dinner. Ernesto was intoxicated by this scene.
It seemed to him that the woman, who was angry and threatened to beat him to death from time to time, was like a rabbit now.
Ernesto took the eggs, noodles, mushrooms and ham, and skillfully cooked them.
In the blink of an eye, the delicious noodles were ready.
Alba ate them with pleasure.
Ernesto looked at her with satisfaction.
Indeed, it was easy to feed this woman, because she was not picky about food and could eat everything he cooked. Watching her eat, his own appetite was also getting better….
Alba looked at him out of the corner of her eye.
-Why are you looking at me? Do you finally know that beauty can also satiate a person?
Ernesto showed a slight smile.
-I’m thinking it’s true that you’re starving.
Alba raised her eyes to look at him angrily.
-Do you want me to hit you?
Ernesto gave up immediately.
-I don’t dare provoke you.
Alba grunted with satisfaction and continued happily eating her noodles. After finishing them, she hopped back to her room.
When Ernesto finished the housework, he wanted to serve Alba the milk out of habit, but as he reached for the refrigerator door, he remembered that the milk was gone.
He had planned to buy it today, but he had forgotten all about it.
He went back to his room, showered and was ready to sleep.
The light had just gone out, when the door burst open.
Ernesto sat up unconsciously and, in the light from outside, saw Alba in her pajamas standing in the doorway of his room.
-What’s wrong?
Alba leaned against the doorframe and said:
-You didn’t bring me milk!
Ernesto laughed.
-There’s no milk in the house now, because I forgot to ask the milk delivery man to start bringing milk home today, and you can have it tomorrow.
Alba clenched her fists.
-Then you forgot one more thing!
Ernesto’s heart skipped a beat.
-What is it?
Alba stomped her foot, came at Ernesto, with a hard shove, pounced on Ernesto and then nibbled on his thin lips….
“This asshole kisses me goodnight every night and takes me milk in passing, is kissing me the thing he does in passing?”
Ernesto, of course, would not deny her kiss and the next second, resumed dominance.
Alba’s passionate response made him lose his senses, and he turned around, pouncing on her, with increasingly heated movements….
After a long while, the rest of his sanity told him to stop and Ernesto forced himself to release her. He turned around and sat up.
Alba slowly opened her eyes in a daze and unconsciously wanted to ask him why he had stopped…..
At that moment, she suddenly realized what Micaela had said, that two people who loved each other were attracted to each other and fucked each other involuntarily….
In the next second, Ernesto’s words brought her back to calm.
-Well, go back to bed.
She jumped up. Feeling the fire she had just felt instantly transform into anger, she punched him in the chest.
-Ernesto, go to hell!
Then she ran out and slammed the door of her room.
“I’m crazy! I’m so shameless! I offered to go to his bed, but he refused me…”
Alba threw herself on the bed, holding her wrist in her arms and pinching it hard….
Wait a minute! Alba sat up in surprise.
“What did I just think, did I offer to go to your bed? I didn’t. I actually just went to ask for milk!”
Slapping the doll hard, she deflated a little.
“I feel myself getting weirder and weirder. Never mind, I’m going to turn off the light to sleep now.”
Outside the door, Ernesto saw that the light in her room had been turned off and lowered his raised hand.
Remembering that she sat on the floor when he came home, he sat down too and thought seriously about whether he should tell her everything he had known….
After telling her everything, what then?
Make a deal so that he wouldn’t love her so much and she would also try not to fall in love with him?
He laughed bitterly. He had hoped that this woman’s eyes would be full of love for him, but, now he was so afraid, he was still afraid that she would fall in love with him and forget him later.
There were two reasons why she didn’t tell him, one was that she wasn’t sure if she would forget him, and another was that she didn’t want him to be afraid along with her, right?
After sitting for a long time, not coming to a conclusion, she got up and speculatively turned the handle on the door to her room, which was unlocked.
He entered and Alba was sleeping soundly with the doll in her arms.
Ernesto stood next to the bed and finally couldn’t resist lying down next to her, he mentally told himself that he would just lie down for a while and go back to his room to sleep later….
Alba suddenly released her wrist and threw herself into Ernesto’s arms, reaching out to hug him and murmuring:
-Ernesto…
Ernesto gently rubbed her head, knowing she was sleeping soundly, but couldn’t help but reply softly:
-What?
-I love you…
