I looked up at him with a smile and wrapped my arms around his neck. When he stopped, I whispered in his ear, "Am I beautiful, or Abbie?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows at me. "Do you still care about that?"
"There should not be anything in this world that is more important than women. Is it not good for me to care about it?"
Harrison nodded to me and his face slowly approached me. Just as we were about to kiss each other, he stopped and said softly, "You're upset about me. This is the best confession."
"Who said...!" Before I could finish my words, my mouth was sealed.
So on this morning when I was supposed to have the right to own it, I was accidentally pressed under my body again...
When I went to work in the morning, Harrison said that he would not go to the company today. I was not surprised. After all, there was more than one company.
But obviously, Harrison was not satisfied with my indifferent expression. "Aren't you surprised or worried at all? I'm not going to the company today."
"Is it strange that you don't go to the company?" I tilted my head to look at him and asked with a smile.
Harrison shook his head helplessly and said, "You looked unhappy last night, but you were still not confident this morning. Why did you suddenly ignore it now?"
"Could it be that rolling in bed can really cure all kinds of diseases?" He approached me and said.
Hot steam spilled on my face. I squinted at him and said, "In theory, even if you really want to do something today, I'm afraid you can't do it. In such a situation, do I need to worry about anything?"
Speaking of this, I thought of Abbie's face. Perhaps other people really didn't have to worry, but Abbie was different!
The woman was in such a state that she couldn't wait to fall in love with Harrison. She believed that if it weren't for me standing by Harrison's side, she would have shamelessly rushed over. Even if I were her current girlfriend in name, Abbie still didn't put me in her eyes. It was really annoying.
"What are you thinking about?" Harrison asked.
I shook my head. "Nothing."
Of course, it was nothing. How could I say my worries out loud? This is Harrison's peach blossom. He should be the one to solve it.
According to his understanding of Abbie, he had no feelings for her at all. Even if he had feelings for her, they were just brother and sister. "Have you and Abbie known each other before?"
After saying this, the carriage suddenly fell into silence. It was so quiet that I could only hear each other's breathing. This sudden silence made me feel a little uneasy. I felt as if I had mentioned something that I shouldn't have said. There was a faint sadness at the same time.
You can only blame us for getting to know each other too late. We didn't meet each other in the prime of our lives.
"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you," I said with a forced smile.
When the red light stopped, Harrison put his hand on the steering wheel casually and said slowly, "I don't want to say it if it doesn't exist. I did know the Ling Family for a long time, but my company is
run by itself and has no contact with their family."
"Uncle Ling has always wanted to get Abbie and me together because Abbie is the only child in the Ling family. Uncle Ling feels that it's better to find me, a person who knows everything than to find an outsider to entrust him with."
I heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart, but I still refused to give up and said, "Why don't you go? It's the dream of others to stay with Abbie for less than ten years."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." After that, he pinched my face from behind. He didn't put down his hand until I felt pain.
There was a horn behind me. I said grumpily, "Just drive properly. What do you look like?"
"I've never thought of having anything to do with Abbie. She's my younger sister who has watched her grow up. That's all."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm. I could tell that he said it specifically for me.
"Maybe he was worried that I would think too much, or he gave me peace of mind, but no matter what his intention was, I would unconditionally trust him."
The two of them were about to decide to be together, so they should have unconditionally trusted each other. If they couldn't believe this, then our days would only be more and more painful, constantly consuming each other's feelings in the quarrel and suspicion.
I looked out of the window and pretended to say casually, "Even if you haven't thought about it, it's fine as long as Abbie never forgets it."
"So?" he asked.
"No reason. I'm just stating the truth."
After that, none of us took the initiative to speak, and I also felt that I really had the potential to talk about the finals.
"I have something to do tonight. Why don't you go back first?" he asked.
I unfastened my seatbelt and said, "There are still some things in my house that haven't been brought back. I'll go back."
"Didn't you say that you would buy anything you lacked?" Harrison frowned.
It could be seen that he didn't want to go back at all, so he didn't hide anything and expressed his dissatisfaction directly.
Seeing him like this, I also felt uncomfortable. "That home is a place where my mother and I rely on each other for survival. We have lived for more than 20 years. Can't we go back?"
"If you want to go back, I can go back with you when I have time," Harrison insisted.
Seeing his colleagues rushing to the company one by one, I saw that it was getting late, so I didn't waste any more time with him and opened the door directly. "I'll do as you see fit. Be careful on the way."
After that, I left without looking back.
In the elevator, I could still see Harrison's car parked downstairs. It was not early. It took more than half an hour to get to their company from here, and it was still working time at this time. There would definitely be a traffic jam on the road.
Thinking of this, I dialed Harrison's number as soon as I got out of the elevator. "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm fine."
According to his tone, he didn't want to say more. Without thinking, I knew that he must have been unhappy by what he said just now. It was probably because the way we got along with each other recently was too casual that I forgot what Harrison used to be like.
"Harrison, there are some things in my family that can't be bought outside. They have special meaning to me. Can you understand?"
"Yes."
With the word "en", the phone fell into a strange silence again.
"So I have to go back, right?" I said patiently, "I promise you that I must be at home before you get home."
"Are you sure?" he asked.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I said with a smile, "As long as you don't come back earlier than me on purpose."
"I'm calling you at work. Did the company invite you to make a phone call?"
