They chat and occasionally look at each other affectionately. Claire is even embarrassed. The bottle of
red wine is slowly consumed.
Claire has always been a good drinker, but today it seems to be very intoxicating. The ambience and
dreamlike candlelight makes Claire dizzy.
But Claire likes the feeling of dizziness. It seems to make the dreamlike scene and feeling more real.
Claire looks at Leo’s reassuring smile when she’s slightly drunk. She realizes that is the happiness she
has been pursuing.
Bryce can’t give it to her, and Juan can’t either. Only Leo in the world can make her feel at ease.
Their candlelight dinner lasts until midnight. In fact, most of the time, they are both immerse in the
subtle atmosphere.
It is late at night after dinner. Leo takes Claire’s hand and walks out of the restaurant. The moon over
the city is still bright and the moonlight makes their shadows long.
“Walk with me.” Claire smiles and shakes Leo’s hand like a teenage girl.
In Leo’s eyes, Claire is more young and lovely than a teenage girl.
“OK.” Leo holds Claire’s hand. They strolls shoulder to shoulder on the empty road.
There is no noise and bustle during the day. It seems that they are the only two people in the city at
night.
Claire can feel Leo holding her hand. She seems to be the center of the world. The alcohol makes
Claire’s coyness disappear. She smiles happily.
There are two rows of tall street trees standing quietly at night. They are witnessing the aimless stroll of
the two happiest people in the world.
But it’s been quiet. Neither Claire nor Leo spakes. Most of the time they are thinking about each other.
Sometimes they turn around suddenly and smile at each other.
The night is getting deeper. The wind in the dark sky drives the clouds to cover the moonlight. The wind
whistles past them.
“It’s so cold.” Claire unconsciously hugs her shoulders. “And I seem a little sleepy.”
Leo looks around. There is a lake not far away. So he takes Claire and runs to the lake. They sit on the
bank of the lake.
Leo takes off his clothes and puts them on Claire, then he holds her tightly in his arms.
At this time, the moon just comes out of the dark cloud. The moon falls on the lake and it is as bright as
a mirror. When the wind blows, the lake is sparkling and beautiful.
“It’s good to live. I can see the beautiful world with you when I am alive.” Leo looks up and tells God
about his happiness.
At this time, Leo is like a person who has completed a big business or a child who sees the sea for the
first time.
Claire is in his arms listening to the sound of the lake. She closes her eyes and smiles. “Mr. Howard, is
this how you feel when you are recovering from a serious illness?”
Leo nods and smells Claire’s hair and is intoxicated.
“Yes, I know how precious some things are only when they are lost, such as you and life. I have felt
that you and my life are as important.”
Claire covers her mouth and says incredulously, “it’s too serious.”
Leo is not used to Claire doing this. Claire used to be bad tempered and stubborn like a calf. She’s cute
at best when she’s in a good mood.
Leo has surprises in his eyes. He pinches Claire’s little nose and says softly, “yes, I just recovered, but
I’m lovesick now. I’m in great pain.”
“You were not good to me before. You should suffer.” Claire hugs Leo again and feels like she’s
hugging a world.
“Leo!” Claire’s voice seems a little tired.
“Huh?” Leo picks up Claire’s hair with her fingers and plays with it gently.
Claire murmurs, “how about not coming home tonight? I want to be here with you.”
Leo smiles and says, “then you can’t sleep. What do I do if you fall asleep? Shall I watch the moon all
night?”
Claire straightens up and begs, “but I’m tired...”
Claire doesn’t have a chance to finish because when she just raises her head and opens her eyes, Leo
kisses her lips.
Leo bites Claire’s mouth and says, “we should do this in the beautiful moonlight.” Then he gives Claire
a hot and tender kiss again.
Claire feels the heat on her lips. Her heart thumps, but she quickly closes her eyes again and holds
Leo’s broad shoulders tightly with her hands.
Leo is addicted to the kiss and holds Claire tightly in his arms, but the kiss is tender.
The intense masculinity covers Claire. She relaxes and lets Leo kiss her gently.
Leo keeps panting. When he successfully enters Claire’s mouth, he hears Claire’s gasp. He can’t
contain the fire that is burning inside him.
But after all, they are by the lake. Even if there is no one, Leo dares not do too much. He just kept
kissing Claire like this.
In this affectionate kiss, Claire relaxes completely. Leo expresses himself more completely than before.
After that, Claire blushes and her heart beats. Claire is excited.
Leo smiles and looks at Claire. “Do you want to continue? We can be here if you want.”
Claire glances at him without retorting. She complains, “it’s all your fault.”
Leo laughs. “Don’t you like it?”
Claire falls into Leo’s arms and whispers, “don’t talk nonsense.” Then she falls asleep.
