"Don't move..." He held her, put his chin on her head and kissed her gently.
Angela was stunned.
After a long silence, she felt that his breathing was gradually even. She looked up and saw him closing
his eyes.
Did he fall asleep?
She moved slightly and tried to get down from him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes like a frightened bird.
It seemed that he had just fallen asleep.
He let go of her and looked tired. All of a sudden, she felt a little sorry for him. She said in a good tone,
"can you return the phone to me first? I'm afraid my friend will worry about me."
At the mention of her friend, he thought of the man on the phone. A murderous look flashed through his
tired eyes. He stood up and said, "I'll take a shower first."
"Give me back my phone first!" The changing mood really drove her crazy. Edward went into the
bathroom without looking back.
What's the meaning of this? How could she have met such a strange man like him? If she had known it
earlier, she shouldn't have gone to work in the DC Capital Group, nor should she have agreed to marry
him by agreement! In the past, he would do something strange, but at least he respected her. Now he
was put her under house arrest! Why was she under house arrest? Even if they were a legal couple, he
had no right to put her under house arrest!
Angela was so angry that she paced back and forth for a few steps and then screamed to vent her
discontent. In the bathroom, when Edward heard her scream, he was first stunned, and then his eyes
were full of interest.
He didn't know since when he liked to tease her. And he knew that as long as he didn't violate her
principles and coaxed her a little, she would be softhearted. It was because she was too kind that she
was bullied by Greg. That was why he was worried that she would be cheated by Chuck.
Thinking of this, his eyes darkened.
When he went out, Angela walked up to him and said painfully, "Edward, I know it's my fault to leave
without saying anything, but I also sent you a message later, didn't I? Even if you don't return my
phone, I will accept it. Can you lend me your phone and I will call her? Otherwise, she might really call
the police."
Seeing that she was so anxious and her eyes were red, Edward couldn't bear to see her like this. He
frowned and said, "I'll think about it."
Then he dried his hair and walked around her. She grab his arm and asked hurriedly, "how can you
lend me your phone?"
He had just taken a shower. His lower body was wrapped in a bath towel, and his upper body was
naked. Angela was so anxious that she didn't pay attention to it. When she touched his wet and hot
skin, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly loosened her grip.
In the past, when she saw his upper body naked, she would feel embarrassed to dodge. Now she had
made progress. At least she could talk to him normally.
Edward looked at her with satisfaction, but she said with a stiff face, "put on your clothes first!"
Then she turned around.
She didn't know whether he had put it on or not, so she could only turn her back to him all the time.
Ten minutes later, she heard the hairdryer stop.
"Let's go to have dinner." He held her wrist.
Angela got rid of him and said, "Damn it! I said give me my phone! I want to make a phone call! Do you
know how selfish you are? You only care about your own happiness. Don't you know how anxious you
are when you worry about others?"
Tears streamed down her face.
Edward looked at her blankly and saw her glaring at him. She choked again and wiped her tears with
the back of her hand, frowning.
Selfish? Then why didn't she contact him on purpose? Why didn't she think about his feelings when he
was anxious about her?
"You also know others will worry about you. Don't run out of home next time." He didn't even know how
he felt when he said that.
Tears welled up in her eyes, full of anger and grievance. But when she saw him frowning, there was
anger in her eyes, but he said it so heartbroken. How could a man like him who was indifferent to the
accident say something like that?
"I..." These days, she finally made up her mind and didn't want to be moved again.
Thinking of the past three nights, she regretted when lying on the bed and told herself to be firm this
time. She pursed her lips and said, "Edward, I just didn't really go through a romantic night. I just
couldn't help it. Maybe I made you misunderstand me.
Maybe I made you misunderstand me. ——
When he heard this, he grabbed her wrist hard.
His heart skipped a beat. He let go of her hands and held her face in his hands and said, "look at me.
Say it again."
His eyes were deep, but there were complex emotions floating in them. At any time, his eyes were like
a whirlpool, which would suck her in if she was not careful. She didn't dare to look into his eyes. She
wanted to turn her head away, but he fixed her face and forced her to look into his eyes face to face.
Seeing that Angela didn't say anything, he said, "I didn't misunderstand."
Then he released her and said lightly, "let's go to eat."
She didn't know if she had misheard him. She felt that his tone revealed a sense of loss.
Now she was indeed hungry, and he had been busy all day, so he should be hungry and tired. She
thought that she would tell him everything after dinner.
Then she listened to him and followed him to the restaurant, but she didn't say anything on the way or
during the meal.
When her beef steak was served, he reached out to take her plate. She guessed what he was going to
do, so she stopped him and said, "no, I can cut by myself."
She couldn't get herself used to his kindness. She was afraid that she would be more reluctant to leave
him in the future.
It was like returning to the starting point. She always refused his kindness and said that she didn't want
to owe him. His heart ached slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
What Aaron said was right. The mind of people from the science and Technology Department was not
something ordinary people could guess. Moreover, she changed the subject from the science to
literature, so he couldn't figure it out what she was thinking.
The only reason why she resisted his kindness again was the birth control pills. That was the only
reason he could thought of.
Angela was very uneasy during the dinner. She chewed beef steak, but kept thinking about Lesley. It
was almost five o'clock. Normally, she would contact her at this time to tell her if she would work
overtime tonight. At the same time, she would check her phone and reply her message. If she didn't
receive any message, she didn't know how anxious she would be.
Since Edward didn't want to borrow her phone, she has to figure out another way! It was better to ask
others if they would like to borrow her phone.
Thinking of this, she put down the knife and fork and was about to stand up.
"Where are you going?" He also stood up and asked nervously.
"Go to the Lady's room. You have taken my ID card and phone. Where can I go?" Her tone was a little
harsh, but the next second, he realized that she could not escape now.
Looking at her back, Edward was still worried, so he followed her.
