Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 56: What A Sweet Kid

Geneva laid down next to the kid carefully and embraced him, only by then that the kid stopped from having a bad nightmare.

She was like his tranquilizer. He calmed down instantly after sensing that she was lying on his side.

What a sweet kid.

Geneva noticed that the kid has become so dependent on her. She was happy to know she was important to the kid and was worried for the future at the same. She wondered what happened in their future if they got separated or suddenly were unable to see each other.

He ceased screaming and calmed down, returning the hug to the woman by holding her arm tightly. As if he was afraid to let her go.

Geneva did not say anything. She just pulled him into a more tight embrace and took a deep breath, closing her eyes and allowing herself to indulge in that pleasant feeling of having a kid on her side. That kind of feeling was so great and very natural. It made her feel so comfortable, complete, and of course, genuinely happy.

"How I wish he was alive. He should be at the same age as you." Geneva said as she stared at the kid. She planted a kiss on his forehead and closed her eyes.

The kid was having a fever and he was very hot. But the kid slept so soundly and calmly in her arms. Geneva was initially thinking of watching the kid for the entire night. However, because of exhaustion during the day, she eventually fell asleep.

On the other hand, Chen Lei laid uncomfortably on the sofa. He was a tall man, having a height of more than 6 feet, yet, the sofa only had a length of more than three feet. He was like a fish forcefully stuffed inside a can of sardines.

His dilemma did not stop at that. The air conditioner was turned on in the room, yet, he was uncomfortably hot. His back was sweating profusely and perspiration covered his forehead.

The man undressed himself and laid down into a slight sitting position to fit himself a little bit on the couch. While doing that, he sighed, telling himself. "Why did I stubbornly choose to stay here if I can go home and suffer all this? Sigh, I really can't understand myself sometimes."

The man pillowed one of his arms under his head and covered the other one on his forehead, then he closed his eyes to sleep.

Time went by. The weather suddenly turned bad. Fierce lightning drew the sky. Earth-shattering thunder growled in the night, disturbing the sleep of a certain person in the room.

Geneva observed the kid and also felt his forehead. By then she realised that the kid's fever had subsided already. She checked the time on the wall clock and she was shocked to know that it was only two hours that passed. The kid's fever was gone miraculously in such a short time.

How magical her presence was.

Of course, the woman was grateful to know that the kid was already fine. Thus, a genuine smile formed on her lips. The woman kissed the kid on his forehead once more and got off the bed, heading in the kitchen.

"Auhh!! What the hell are you doing?" Geneva screamed while covering her eyes. She had just stepped inside the kitchen when she unexpectedly found the man standing in front of the refrigerator.

Naked.

Not entirely naked. But almost. He was actually just wearing his boxer shorts, allowing the woman to see his killer-striking body and seducing abs.

He looked like a man meticulously painted in a famous painting.

The man was about to open the bottle of water to drink. Hearing the shout of the woman, he turned back, only to see the woman screaming and covering her eyes as if she was a virgin maiden or a young teenager that was forbidden to see nude images.

Chen Lei furrowed his brows. "What are you screaming about? You're acting as if you're a teenager."

"Nonsense! I'm screaming because I thought you're a ghost!" Geneva refused to admit that she really covered her eyes in order not to see the man's naked body. Her action was indeed embarrassing or awkward knowing that they were both adults. But of course, the woman would not admit that she was acting like an innocent child in front of that man. "And yeah, right. How could you walk naked around the house knowing that you're at someone else's house?"

"As if you have never seen me naked before. I still remember how you even enjoyed seeing it." The man chuckled. "And, where can you see a ghost as handsome as me? Woman, stop pretending in front of me. I know you so well." With an arrogant smirk on his face, the man sauntered towards her and spread his arms, leaning in closer to her. "Are you afraid to look at my body because you will remember those intense and lustful nights of us together? How greedy you are."

"Don't be arrogant!" Geneva gnashed her teeth. "You are probably good to look at but you're not attractive to me! Now get lost and don't stop me from doing what I want."

The woman pushed the man away. The man also steppes back and leaned his back against the wall in the corner and watched her walking away from him.

He opened the water and drank it for one go. While the woman went to reach for a cup of noodles in the cabinet.

The cup of noodles was big but she only took one, indicating that she has no plan to invite the man to join her.

"You're hungry?" The man asked as he played on the bottle.

The woman did not respond to him. She prepared water in the heater and waited for a while while leaning on the counter, back facing the man.

After that question, the woman did not hear anything from the man. Out of curiosity, she turned around to check on him, only to discover that the man was standing so close to her from behind her.

The man was slightly leaning forward, thus, his height decreased a little, enough to get the woman to kiss him when she turned suddenly. Indeed, precisely, the moment that the woman turned around her head, their lips pressed at each other's lips.

The woman hurriedly stepped and glared at the man. Her face distorted in anger. "What did you do? You're such a p*****t! How could you steal a kiss from me?"

The woman wiped her lips repeatedly. As if she had just eaten something dirty.

The man shrugged, ignoring such actions. "What have I done? Miss Sanchez, don't slander me. It's you who kisses me. I just stand and it's you who turned around. So, don't blame me for that kiss. You can only blame yourself." The man's eyes narrowed. "Wait. It just occurred to me. It could be you saw my naked body and now you're trying to take advantage of me? Miss Sanchez, I never expected you'd be such a woman."

"This is ridiculous! This is ridiculous! I can't take this anymore! Please get out!" Geneva pointed at the door.

The man crossed his arms over his chest and leaned his back on the counter. "I told you, only me is allowed to decide whether I should leave or not. For now, I'm gonna enjoy the night here."

The man drew in and smiled. "Because you're here that makes my night interesting." The man tapped the woman's cheek. He turned around, facing the door. "Prepare a cup of noodles for me too. I'll be back to get it later."

After saying that, the man left the kitchen, leaving the woman who exploded in anger. "I can't believe him! How can he order me around in my own house?" She held her head, shaking it. "Grrrr. I'm gonna go insane with this nonsense!"
