It only took me a while before I remembered that Little Lion was my son. Even if he was the father and had the right to say those words to me, he did not know anything about it.A pout was formed on my lips. “I don't want to fight right now, President Xin. Thanks for picking up my son today. If you don't mind, can I take him home?“ I asked.I did not know where he got the idea that I was fooling around with Eze. Still, I did not feel the need to explain anything to him.I could see his face turning even darker. He held my hand and pulled me to the kitchen, and I was shocked. “You…”“I want to know who Little Lion's dad is,” he said, pressing me against the wall. I was so stunned that my anger dissipated.I thought we had talked about it already, right? Why did he keep insisting?“I won't let the both of you leave if you don't tell me the truth,” Xin said again. He was looking into my eyes, and I felt scared that he could read through my mind.I shook my head at him. “It is none of you

Abby was so stunned. “What? But do you have a place to sleep?“ She asked. If Chris did not have any business in town, then he was here to sleep.Chris sighed. “Your bed is big, right?“ He asked jokingly, but Abby felt a shudder down her spine.She hurriedly shook her head. “We can't share the bed, Chris,” she said. She wasn't going to do that.Chris did not look offended. He just smiled at her. “Why? I don't eat people,” he said.But Abby still shook her head continuously. “Because you are a man, and I am a woman,” she said in a trembling voice. She just could not share the bed with him.Chris chuckled. “Ooh, I see. At least you have acknowledged that,” he said, putting his hands in his pockets. “Can I sleep on your couch then?“Abby seemed hesitant. “Um, there is a guest room on the other side of the road. Do you want us to check it out?“ She asked.It would not be appropriate for the man to sleep in her house, even if they were just friends.Chris felt a little disappointed. But he

Xin did not pause or care that he was hurting me as he pulled me along with him. And I also had to jog to keep up with his pace. I felt so mad at him.He pushed me into his office and locked the door behind him. And I looked at him in fear. “What if he wanted to do something to me behind the closed door?I quickly stepped back to the corner and wrapped my hands around me in a protective manner. “I will scream if you do anything to me,” I said.And he scoffed. “Are you an idiot? I don't touch what other men have touched,” he said with ridicule. And I felt frozen in place.Was I overthinking everything? Xin would not want to touch me, right? And did he think that something had really happened between Eze and me?I angrily looked up at him. “Why did you bring me here then? You should forget it if you think you will make me change my mind about resigning. I am going to resign,” I said.I had already experienced a lot in the few days that I had been at his company. Maybe it was time to lea

Chris felt bad that she was regretting it like that. He held her face and looked into her eyes. “Abby, it won't change anything if you keep regretting. It has already happened. Let us embrace it and move forward, okay?“ He said.Abby sighed and wiped away her tears. “What do you mean? You won't leave me alone, right?“ She asked. She was just scared for so many reasons.Chris held her hand and pressed it into his. “As long as you want me to be with you, I will be here. Abby, I love you. That is why I couldn't hold myself back when you were hugging me like that.“Abby pursed her lips. So he really loved her? Did that mean that she was not supposed to be scared?But he was just way too old for her. She could never end up with him, right? And even if she really wanted to end up with him, would her family let her?Chris felt better that they could talk things out like that. He held her close to himself and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, sweetheart, for yesterday. It was the best night I h

Little Lion looked at me like he wanted to cry. “Mommy? When I was three, didn't you ask me if I wanted you to find me a daddy?“ He asked.And I only sigh in fear. Something had happened to my son. He was never like that.Of course, I had asked him that question in the past. And he had told me that I didn't need to push myself if I did not want to. He said he only loved me and would be okay with being with me forever.What had changed so suddenly? Was Xin trying to corrupt his mind?“Mommy, handsome Xin is a good man, can't you see? He will take good care of you." Little Lion spoke up again.This time, I pinched his arm. “I don't need a man in my life. And you are too young to be talking about this. We are not talking about it again,” I said angrily. I was sure that Xin had a hand in that.Little Lion winced in pain, but he did not cry. He looked at Xin. “What happened to my mommy today? She does not seem to be in a good mood,” he said.I looked at him and scoffed. Did that mean that
