Love at Dawn

Chapter9

After sending the person to the stairway, Vitti, however, suddenly turned around again, looked at me and said, "Sister Heaslet, although we're not very familiar and there are some words that I wasn't supposed to say, I still can't help it. Regardless of whether you have him in your heart or not, at least for the sake of husband and wife, can't you stop tormenting him?"

I couldn't understand why she would say such a thing to me, but before I could ask any more questions, Vetti had already quickened her pace and walked down the stairs.

I didn't stay for more than a few minutes and left as well, not bothering to walk back down to the hospital after this.

Angus didn't stay in the hospital for long either and was discharged in three or two days. I didn't know when he was discharged, it was late at night, and I didn't expect him to come back after I'd fallen asleep.

It was early in the morning, and in a daze, all I felt was a hand caressing my body in some indescribably strange way.

When I realized that someone was touching my body and that the fingers seemed to linger a little in sensitive areas, I woke up with a start and shouted, "Who?"

In the darkness, Angus's face slowly became clear, and I breathed a sigh of relief, followed by annoyance, "What for? It's the middle of the night and it's as scary as a ghost!"

"It's no fun, one touch and you're awake."

"You're crazy!" I leaned back and said, "I didn't hear during the day that you were coming back at night."

"Do I need to report everything to you?"

I didn't squeak.

He went to take a shower and came back with his body warm and pressed against my arm in some unspoken way. I was sleepy, fighting with my upper and lower eyelids. He suddenly spoke up and asked me, "Did you sleep?"

I opened my eyes, "Not yet why?"

After a few seconds, he asked me, "How did you and Leonard get together?"

I froze, he usually gets upset when Leonard is mentioned, why is he asking now?

"Why are you asking?"

"Just tell me when I tell you to."

I sobered up, thought for a moment, and said, "It was a rainy day, and I wasn't paying attention myself, so I slipped and fell, and a car was coming at me from the front. It was then that Leonard was the first one to rush up, helped me up, and crouched down to carry me to the hospital. I was quite touched at the time, and then he stayed with me, and there was a good feeling after that."

I laughed as if I was caught up in some kind of wonderful memory, "It was Valentine's Day shortly after that, and the dorm was about to turn out the lights, when I heard someone downstairs suddenly call out to me, and it was Leonard. My roommates all told me to go down there, even Lilia told me to go, and after a moment's hesitation, I went down and accepted him."

I thought this, surprisingly warmed up a little, until Angus kicked me, "STOP, I was just asking, who told you to go into such detail, it's disgusting to hear."

I sneered and rolled over, turning my back towards him, not wanting to see his face, who knew he'd wrenched me over hard and pressed himself against me. I pushed him and he didn't move.

"What's gotten into you?"

His mouth probed over and covered my lips, lips and teeth intertwined. It was an irresistibly deep kiss.

I hadn't kissed him in a long time, and every time before that had been eager and rough, yet this time, there was something extremely rare and warm, so surreal that I glowed. He opened his eyes to look at me and suddenly bit me on the lip, the taste of blood coming out then. I was a little angry, also went to bite him, and finally turned into each other biting through each other's lips, cannot distinguish the blood on their respective lips is whose.

In the end, I couldn't stand to see us abusing our mouths like that, so I used my knee to push upwards, hitting him squarely in his sensitive area. Angus let out a muffled grunt, rolled over and fell to the side, sucking in a cool breath, ''Heaslet, you're really something, how can you do this to me? Do you want to be a woman in the future?"

I stopped paying attention to him. Probably too sleepy, the movement around me gradually became blurred and I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up the next morning, I realized that there was an arm under my head.

Upon further inspection, wasn't it Angus'?

This surprised me, and I instantly sat up to remove his arm. Angus was also woken up by me and asked me in a daze, "What time is it?"

"It's eight o'clock and my alarm went off."

He sat up, his upper body was n***d, and his hair was a bit of a mess, and the scene was a bit of a hilarious one as the man was obviously sitting up but refused to get out of bed and just sat there frozen in a daze.

I cannot help but laugh. This person's chicken nest head, staring blankly, like a fool, where there is usually the image of a suit? Angus saw me laugh, but also laughed.

I think it is their eyes blurred, I rushed to the bathroom to wash up, wash my face with cold water, closed his eyes, his mind inadvertently swept over the moment just now, like a flash in the pan, that fleeting smile, no longer the usual cold, but also some mild.

Happy times are always short.

Obviously, I can clearly remember every single detail.

But in a trance, it has become something in the memory.

When I went to work the next day, one of my coworkers said to me, "Heaslet, there's a man outside looking for you."

I went to the window and looked down, and sure enough there was a man in a white shirt sitting in a chair under a tree.

It was Leonard. It reminded me of the old days in college.

I went downstairs and saw him looking down at the shadows of the trees on the ground, wondering what was going on in his mind. It wasn't until I walked past that he looked up, stood up, squinted a little, and said, "Heaslet, you're here."

The past crossed with the present, and it took a great deal of effort to hold back the tears in my eyes, and I just forced a smile, but felt a little awkward for no reason. I asked, "What brings you here? I didn't think you'd come to see me."

"You didn't want to see me that badly?" He smiled back, seeming a little disappointed. I didn't say anything, and after a while I said slowly, "I thought you'd never want to see me again in your life."

He sat down somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "No matter what you are nowadays, or what I am, we are at least acquaintances, there is no need to meet so awkwardly! If you can, sit with me for a while."

These words made my heart a little sour. I sat down beside him, and in the end, I couldn't help but open my mouth and ask, "It's a lie to say that there aren't any doubts. After the breakup, you can also find a good girl and live happily ever after, I didn't expect to see you again, but it's at your wedding with Zeni, I ......"

"What do you think? Unbelievable? Mentally repulsed? Disgusted? Think I'm the kind of man who has no shame in sucking up to an old, divorced woman for money and status?"

"No, no, I never thought that I know better than anyone what kind of man you are, and now that you would do this, is there some unavoidable reason why you must?"

"I'm content that you think of me that way." He kicked a leaf gently away from his foot and continued, "It's just Heaslet, I was too young at the time to think that everything was something to be fought for slowly. But then I realized what a fool I was, who am I to talk about those ridiculous ideals when I can't even keep my own woman?"

I was dumbfounded.

"People change, Heaslet, and it was only when there was wealth within reach that I realized that money was such a useful thing."

I looked at Leonard incredulously. He spread his hands and said, "You can do anything you want with money, just like to this day, I always thought that if I had a million dollars at that point in time, it would only be you Heaslet by my side, not some Zenny."

"I'm a vain woman, that's why I married Angus. I don't love you at all, Leonard, and if you let yourself be corrupted by my leaving, all I can say is that you're stupid."

"I don't blame you, only that I was too useless to help you with anything in the first place."

"But I don't want you to become like this. Forget it, you're not really any of my people nowadays, so it would seem like I'm being self-absorbed if I say too much of these things. Go away, Leonard, and let us not see each other again in the future, if possible."

I stood up and stepped out of the shadow of the trees into the sunlight, only to feel it sting. He didn't move, he just spoke up and asked me, "Heaslet, how have you been?"

I turned and looked at him, "Yes, I've had a good time. Don't you understand that deeply nowadays? Wealth is no longer something out of reach, it's like it's sitting securely in your pocket, you can have it if you want it."
