C56 (1/2)

”Then what should I do?” I looked up, my face turned up, my eyes wide with dependence and helplessness.

He pondered for a moment and said: ”Leave this matter to me. If he calls again, you must first stabilize him. Don't cry. It will be fine.”

”Am I... Did I give you trouble again? ”

I seem to have been bothering him ever since I went to bed with him. I seem to have wished him all the time to settle all the big and small matters for me.

”It's a man's responsibility to solve a problem for his woman.” The corner of his mouth curved into a smile, and his gaze turned gentle.

My eyes started to burn, and my vision started to blur again. When did I become so emotional?

Or did I become more sensitive when I was pregnant? Always easily moved.

”Alright, go wash your face and go to sleep. It's getting late, if you don't go to sleep now, your baby will protest.”

He pulled me to my feet and led me to the bathroom. I followed him, looking up at his back.

I was going to wash my face myself, but he took the towel and soaked it and wrung it out.

I stared at his actions until a warm feeling began to spread across my face. Only then did I come to my senses.

Although his movements were unfamiliar, they were very gentle and gentle, as if he was treating some treasure.

The crack at the bottom of my heart gradually widened. That sour and astringent feeling made me feel that something wasn't right. I was a little flustered, but I didn't dare to show it as my body became more and more stiff.

Fortunately, I did not find anything unusual when I was washed by you.

After washing my face, I lay back down on the bed. Fatigue mixed with my pajamas assaulted me. Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, I fell asleep with relief.

The next morning, I woke from my sleep. The room was dark and the curtains were drawn.

There was no one around, so he got up.

I struggled to my feet, grabbed my cell phone from the headboard, and flipped it open. When I saw the time, I shot up from the bed.

It was already half past ten! My nine o'clock shift is already an hour and a half late! I got up in a hurry, washed up briefly, and ran downstairs. The thudding sound echoed in the living room.

The servants at work looked up at me. I didn't even have time for breakfast before I ran out the door. At that moment, someone called out to me.

”Young Mistress!” Are you going out? ”

I changed my shoes in a flurry. ”I'm going to work!”

”Young Mistress, Young Master Zhu said that he has applied for leave for you. You don't need to go to work today, I'll let you rest at home.”

I stopped and looked up at her. ”What?”

The servant wiped his hands and walked over with a smile, ”Young Master Zhu has requested a leave of absence for you. You can rest at home today.”

I frowned, put down my shoes, and muttered to myself, ”I wish you wouldn't tell me.”

”Maybe Young Master Zhu didn't have the heart to wake you up because you slept too well.” She took the shoes from me and put them back on the shelf.

This servant really knew how to speak.

I looked at her and couldn't help but ask, ”What's your name?”

”Young Mistress can call me Gooseberry.”

She looked to be in her thirties. She had a chubby face and a charming smile, especially when she smiled. It was very comfortable.

”Ah Zu, right? Then what else did he say?”

”That's all Young Master Zhu said.” She replied, ”Young Mistress, I've already prepared breakfast for you. Let's eat breakfast first.”
