Chapter 41 - Images (1/2)

After Daniella and Matthew left the Living room, she immediately slapped his hand from her shoulder.

Eyes glaring at Matthew like she wanted to murder him, Daniella placed her finger on Matthew's ear - tugging it harshly like she wanted to rip it off, and then she hauled him away from the main door.

Daniella stopped next to a tall tree – serving as the entrance to the garden.

As the cold breeze blows, Daniella withdrew her hand from tugging his ear and crossed both arms on her waist – glaring at Matthew.

”Matthew, care to tell me why are you using a different last name when we met?”

”What do you mean why? If people find out that I am a Su, they would think I am some rich kid who does nothing but, to have fun,” saying that, Matthew casually leaned his back on the tree, he stretched one leg and playfully kicked Daniella's feet.

Daniella's face flattened, ”aren't you one? Tsk, ” feeling the pain from his kick, Daniella punched him in his stomach.

Matthew groaned; he was about to fight back when he saw Daniella glaring at him.

He straightened up, clearing his throat as he avoided her eyes.

”Don't worry, I am not going to tell him how playgirl you are. But tell me,” his eyes squinted with suspicion as he leaned forward.

”You and my cousin seem to be close. So, what is it Ella? Why were you blushing when you looked at my cousin?”

Daniella took a step back, masking her anxiousness with a poker face.

”What are you talking about? I am just Selena's babysitter,” she was able to said it straight but, her eyes were avoiding his.

”Hm, are you sure? The way you looked at him, it's like you want rip his clothes.”

Matthew's eyes were twinkling with tease, lips maliciously grinning at her.

”The only thing that will be ripped in this house is your tongue if you don't stop,” saying that with a threat, Daniella turned her back on Matthew, she could still hear Matthew's perverted remarks about her and Evan.

Cheeks flushed like it was painted with red paint, Daniella's mind flew on the day she last saw Evan.

-

Feeling the warmness of Evan air on her head, Daniella's heart pounded like never before.

Daniella's apartment was cold and even colder with her bare-naked body, and feeling the warmth from Evan's embraced, she could not help but blush.

She bit her lips, face buried on his chest allowed her to hear his heartbeat, and it was pounding just as hard as her.

There was something in the air, making her feel comfortable, Evan embrace was like a thick blanket in the rainy day, it's making her warm and sleepy.

Daniella's eyes flickered when Evan moved, his hands went to her shoulder and it stayed there. As he stared at her, Daniella could see his pupil dilating.

With Evan's hands on Daniella's shoulders, he pulled her body and sat on the couch, they sat next to each other, distance so close that their legs were brushing on each other.

Daniella watched him as he took something out of his coat pocket, it was a small rectangular black box with the designer logo on it.

She rose an eyebrow upon seeing it, it looked like a titanium stud earring, a pair of round tiny pitch-black earrings, one would think of it as a mole of she put it on.

She gulped hard, wondering why did he choose a tiny earrings, men she previously dated had given her the most glamorous and expensive jewelry yet Evan decided to give her the smallest possible earrings, not that she minded it but, she has allergy with titanium and that's the reason why all of the jewelry -containing titanium that was given to her were donated in the charity.

She looked up to meet his eyes, seeing his brown eyes has made her wonder again why she couldn't read him.

(Should I try?) Asking herself whether or not to kiss him, right now, she's certain that she will be able to get a glimpse of his past by kissing him though she's still skeptical for the reason - this was the first time she encountered it.

Feeling Evan's warm palms on her cheeks, Daniella was pulled back to the reality.

She blinked, staring deeply into his eyes.

A deep sigh let out from his throat, and with that, her eyes narrowed.

”Are you alright?”

She could hear the strange sound coming from his throat as he took in a deep sigh, this was one of the moments where she wished she could read his mind.

”It just that, you are wearing underwear,” hearing those words in a coarse tone, Daniella innocently lowered her eyes to her body.

”Yeah, well, Irene is kind of pervert, she said she gets horny when she sees me with no clothes so I am wearing underwear now,” saying that, she stretched a hand to reach the white cotton robe laying on the coffee table.

When she looked back at him, she saw his bushy eyebrow raising with confusion.
