When she thought about the things she had to do with him later, her face was flustered and red. Her mind was buzzing and she could not think properly. She forced a smile and said, “Enjoy your meal. I’ll go and get a towel to dry your hair.”She stood up and ran off to get a towel. Henry’s smile broadened as he watched her, thinking her as cute as a young girl. What an interesting woman.Monique went to the bathroom and found a towel. She could feel her hands shaking; she could like she was prey about to be eaten by a predator.She scolded herself for how useless she was being. This was not her first time. She took a deep breath and walked out.When Henry saw how composed she was, a trace of evil glinted in his grin.“Do you want some?” he asked.Her heart was still racing, and she thought he was really interesting. He did not ask her if she wanted some when he was eating earlier, yet he asked just as he was about to finish. Was it really appropriate to bully her like that?“I’m
Monique took it as an agreement. She looked at Henry carefully and said, “I took over a proposal in the company yesterday. However, I was not sure how to complete it so I stayed in the office but did not finish it.”As Monique finished speaking, she hesitated about the continuing of the sentence. Henry’s handsome silhouette was light. It seemed emotionless. “Is that all?” Henry parted his lips, he did not seem to care much. She had just started working the day before. It was normal that she did not know how to draft a proposal. What was she worrying about?Monique was in fact very anxious. Henry was an unpredictable person. He could take her shopping or to have amazing food when he was in a good mood and would even use a helicopter to send her a meal.However, if he was unhappy, he might throw her into the water and even choke her to death. Furthermore, damaging a computer was certainly not a good deed. She could only take a bet because she would not be able to conceal any f
Monique stared at him in a daze. She did not move but felt so nervous that her heartbeat nearly stopped, A sentence then popped out from her mouth. “You haven’t dyed your hair yet!”Her face turned red because of the tension. Her panic look made Henry even more excited!Henry ignored her words, held her waist and hugged her into his arms.Monique stared at the man in front of him with her wide eyes in complete astonishment. His flawless and handsome face was magnified in front of her.With straight sharp eyebrows and a three-dimensional straight nose, her eyes finally fell on his thin curvy lips. His lips were really beautiful. Monique realized that she was staring straight at the man out of sudden. She lowered her head in an instant. She hid her head in his broad and strong chest.Monique’s face turned scorching hot. As her pyjamas were slightly loose, her face was directly stuck to his chest. She was stunned. Henry walked very fast and of course he saw her passionate look. H
Monique’s body stiffened. Her mind went blank. She asked confusingly, “How did you get in here?”She stood in front of him with her slender figure. Her wet hair was stuck to her face, and the crystal clear water droplets fell from the tips of her hair onto her delicate collarbone.His throat tightened as he walked in with his long legs and lifted her up. His breath was heavy, “What do you think?”Monique did not know how she should react because she knew what was going to happen next.She was dumbfounded in his arms. Her body was trembling regardless if it was because of the cold, fear or nervousness. Her nervousness could have affected him. He seemed to be a little nervous too. He asked in his low-pitched voice with a smile. “Are you still scared?”Although he was asking her gently, it brought Monique’s thoughts back to the past. Both occasions were accidents. She lost her conscience after she was intoxicated. ‘Damn it! I did not know what’s going on the previous two times.
Monique closed her eyes and accepted his kiss. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and slid down her ears. ‘Forget it. Your life-saving grace was returned to you. All the good you have done to me was also returned to you.’She did not know if it was because of pain, her tears flowed non-stop. He wiped off her tears gently and heart-achingly but it would not stop flowing. In the end, she collapsed into his arms unconsciously. It was obvious they experienced a night of indulgence from the smell lingering in the air. The sky turned bright. The rays of sunlight poured through the windows. He hugged her to sleep. Knock knock. Henry heard a knock on their door. “Daddy! Mommy!” A young voice was heard coming from the other side of the door. It was Angel. Monique said last night that she could see Henry when she woke up this morning. Hence, she went down and searched for them after she woke up and brushed her teeth. Mrs. Lawson told her that both Monique and Henry
“Okay.” Angel nodded. Her voice sounded soft. Henry brought Angel downstairs and placed her at the dining table. Mrs. Lawson had prepared some delicious food for her. Henry washed himself up, got changed and stood in front of the mirror. He looked at the man in the mirror with a strong chest. He seemed to raise his lips in satisfaction. No one could resist his charm. He took a white shirt and put it on himself. He paired it with suit pants. It was a simple pairing, however he looked more gorgeous in it. Henry walked out after he got changed. Angel looked at Henry as he walked out. He had a tall and straight figure, he looked so handsome in his luxurious clothes, like a gorgeous prince, handsome and elegant. ‘He had even rescued us. He could protect mommy. He was indeed a match with mommy but why had mommy always said she wanted to leave? Moreover, they seemed to get along with each other fine. Why did mommy cry so sadly that day?’Angel could not understand the adult’s wor
The corner of Henry’s eyes twitched. He could tell the Angel was anxious. It could be because of her insecurity as she did not have a father since young.Henry suddenly felt sorry for both her and Monique. He held Angel in his arms. “Angel, I have made a pinky promise with you to protect you for the rest of your life. I will always be with you.”Angel’s eyes shone. She stretched out her left hand and pointed her pinky finger, “Daddy, you have to make another pinky promise with me.”“Sure.”Henry stretched out his finger and entwined his finger with Angel’s. “Daddy, mommy and I are a family. Let‘s keep this promise for a hundred years,” Angel said lovingly. They then stamped on each other’s thumb.Angel smiled happily after they stamped. Both of her eyes were like crescents. Her pink face looked so adorable. She opened the door, walked down and waved her hands to say goodbye to her father. Henry was taken aback by Angel’s words. Angel was his daughter. He would stay with he
It was already noon when Monique woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. The bright sunlight had filled the room. It looked dazzling. She opened her eyes and closed them again. Then, she opened her eyes again. She looked at the spot where Henry slept. It was empty. She touched it. It was cold. It seemed like he had left a while ago. Monique moved as she wanted to get up. However, her waist was aching and her legs were shaking. She looked at the sunlight shining in from the outside. The scene last night replayed in her mind. She woke up in pain. Her whole body was aching each time she tried to move. She took a pillow and leaned against the bedside. He had no compassion for her. She thought it would only take a short while but he went at it until dawn and ignored her imploration. ‘You were just his lover. You have to be aware of that and stop thinking of things you shouldn’t think of.’‘Just like what he said, stop overthinking and enjoy the moment.’She sighed sadly. She
