Chapter 176 - My boyfriend (1/2)
Both Kris and Lena did not even sense Madam Li in the hallway. After Kris took out the wooden splinter out of Lena's toe he stood up.
”It's bleeding a bit, let me go get you a bandage.”
Lena looked at the nasty piece of wood that imbedded itself on her toe.
Lena might be overreacting a bit for some people. But, in Shen Qian's life, she once tripped over the playground woodchips and had many wooden splinters in her palm, hand, and legs.
As a child, that experience of her mother helping her pull them out has ingrained her the mental trauma of splinters. She never played on the playground with woodchips anymore.
She never knew... that she will now be traumatized by wooden furniture too!
Kris came back and cleaned her wound then put a bandage on it.
”You need to throw that table away and burn it!” Lena scolded him.
He laughed. ”Sure.” He stood up. ”It's late. Go back to sleep.”
Lena stood up from the sofa and walked slowly back to her room. She opened the door but it was locked. She tried again and was sure it was locked.
”Pssst...It's locked.” Lena told Kris.
Kris walked over and tried the door. ”You lock yourself out?”
”You think I am that stupid?”
”But the door is locked. A door can't lock itself.”
”Shut up.”
”Hold on, let me go get the keys.” Kris went to his room and opened his drawer. To his disappointment, it was not there.
He did not know, but when Collin told the people to come to clean the house, they took the keys to open the rest of the doors in the house and made sure they did not miss anything. They never put it back where they got it from.
Kris walked back to Lena. ”No keys. Just sleep in my room, I can sleep on the sofa.”
”OR I can just go back to my home and sleep there.”
Lena turned around to walk out but Kris grabbed her wrist. ”What will I say when my mom asks where you went this morning?”
”Just say I left to go home?”
”And if she calls the Shen residence and you're not home?”
”Then.. ugh... Fine. But I get the sofa. I am not sleeping in your rough bed.” Lena lied back on the sofa. ”Go get me a blanket.”
Kris went to the closet and took out a small blanket and pillow for Lena.
”Goodnight.” Lena closed her eyes and forced herself to go to sleep. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes again and Kris was still standing on the hallway. ”Go to sleep.”
”Yeah, I will after you go. Just in case you run away.”
”Kris.. it's like 4 a.m. I need at least my three hours of sleep!” Lena covered her head with the blanket and went to sleep.
Kris did not care if it was 4 a.m. or 5 or 50 years from now, he'll watch her just in case she runs away from him. It was not until the sun was starting to rise that Kris head back to his room.
When it was 8 in the morning, Lena woke up. She went back to the guest room to see if it was open and it was. She slowly opened the door and noticed that Madam Li was not in the room.
She went inside the bathroom and looked at her back pain. It was not much and the redness was mostly gone. Her hand was not swollen nor red anymore. She put on the bra and walked to Kris room to knock on the door.
”Kris?”
He opened the door.
”Your mom is not here so I am leaving.”
'Already?”
”Well... I have to take care of my missing phone and possible missing car too.”
”I can go with you.”
”It's fine. You go and make sure your mess from yesterday is good. And possible go get yourself check up on too.”
”Will I see you later?”
”No. I have a meeting with my therapist. See you after your vacation.”
Lena quickly left his house and went back to hers. She immediately removed her bra and nasty g-string and got into something comfortable. Without even caring about anything else, she plopped herself onto her bed and went back to sleep.
