The Love Book

The car drove smoothly on the road.

A few minutes later, Phoebe Barnes pulled out her phone and checked the time.

The award party was originally scheduled for three hours, but now two hours have passed, and it is probably too late for her to rush back.

After some thought, she was about to call Kelsey Long first to explain when a call came in.

John Lu’s number.

She raised her eyes to look at the man driving quietly in front of her and pressed connect.

“Lu less.”

Kemp Ross heard these two words, eyes imperceptibly narrowed lightly for a moment, and quickly returned to normal.

John Lu’s voice, which had always been full of laughter, turned into gritted teeth of anger at this time, “Phoebe Barnes, do you think that this young man has brought you out tonight because he has nothing better to do than to leave without a word, are you playing with me?”

Phoebe Barnes sensed that he seemed to be really angry and hurriedly made an apology, “I’m sorry … I had a temporary emergency and had to leave, I will make amends to you personally tomorrow.”

She was the one who was in the wrong, and this would have been unbearable for anyone, and there was no excuse for his anger.

But even if she is given another choice, she will still do that, Nancy MO home in foreign countries, a person here without relatives, in addition to her best friend, there are almost no other people around to contact, she can not help.

“You should make amends to me, I have not lived so many years as tonight so humiliated. Give you a chance you can’t even catch, like you can fire estimated fucking days are not Rong,” John Lu angry, talking is not the least bit merciful.

Phoebe Barnes also did not care, the heart still guilty, “Lu less, really sorry, I’m still outside, let’s talk tomorrow.”

“Still out there?” John Lu’s tone suddenly changed and he seemed to give a low chuckle, then hummed lightly, “You better give me a reasonable explanation tomorrow, or I’ll definitely think you’re in such a hurry to get out because you want to catch adultery.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes eyes flickered violently, looked at the man in front of her and said stiffly, “It’s not what you think, I have to hang up first, let’s talk tomorrow.”

Without waiting for a reply, she quickly cut off the call.

Then, looking in the rearview mirror quietly surveyed the man’s demeanor.

He still looked ahead without squinting, and did not even seem to move his eyelids, let alone appear any other look.

Phoebe Barnes made sure that the soundproofing of the phone was still very good and that he hadn’t heard John Lu’s last words.

He really doesn’t care about her at all.

…

The car soon arrived at Nancy MO’s apartment, but the man did not intend to get out, but only asked in a light voice, “Go back or stay?”

“Go back first, she’s too drunk and I need to stay and take care of her.”

Phoebe Barnes said the first to get out of the car, but the moment her feet hit the ground, the pain like a thorn stimulated her legs a weak, her body instantly crooked and hit the car door.

The voice was not soft or heavy, but Kemp Ross still noticed it, frowned, turned back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Phoebe Barnes immediately stood up straight and shook her head through the pain, “I’m fine!”

She thought she would be fine after so much rest, but apparently, the ankle was really twisted.

Reaching out and tugging Nancy MO’s wrist to slowly help people out, every movement is suffering from great pain, her delicate little face stoically almost wrinkled into a ball.

Kemp Ross would be a fool if he didn’t notice the difference in her.

He pushed open the car door and got out, holding the door with one hand, narrowing his eyes and looking her up and down, opening his mouth slowly, “Is this look on your face constipation or difficult labor?”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes was already too sore to bother with him, putting Nancy MO’s arm over her shoulder, she stood at the curb, straining her nerves to squeeze out a light smile with all her might, “Thanks for the ride back, it’s late, go back.”

Kemp Ross gave her a deep look, didn’t ask another word, his upright body went back to the car sharply, started the car, reversed and left without any pause.

Phoebe Barnes watched the car leave, the smile on her face Rong slowly disappeared, helped Nancy MO turn around and walk towards the apartment building.

The slender figure, one deep and one shallow, stumbled and moved forward.

Kemp Ross, who has not yet left the neighborhood, happened to see through the rearview mirror, the ink thick moment set off a ripple, then slowly spread into a crisp chill, unconsciously slowed down the car.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Phoebe Barnes helped Nancy MO to walk to the elevator room, waiting for the elevator time, finally could not support the leaning against the wall gasping for breath, cold sweat on the forehead almost to flow, the light of the small face is more pale creepy.

“Are you going to scrap a foot so I can raise a handicapped person later?”

The woman, who was drowning in pain with her eyes closed, heard a voice, snapped her eyes open, and saw the man who had obviously left, and her voice trembled unconsciously, “Haven’t you … already left?”

The man’s gaze was on her already swollen foot, lightly, “If you’re crippled, your parents might go to Ross’ house every day and make a fuss.”

“…”

The words were simply a hundred times more damaging than a foot injury, and she gritted her teeth, unable to resist arguing in a hushed voice, “They won’t.”

The man’s lips pulled out a slight arc, looking at the lower half of her side of the open red dress, a thin leg half exposed, white and smooth, eyes deepened, throat knot rolled, light smile, “tonight harvest a lot, right?”

“Hmm?”

Phoebe Barnes did not understand his meaning for a moment, turned her eyes to look at him, followed his line of sight down to land on her exposed white legs, her pretty face suddenly a blue and white staggered ugly, “This is the clothes prepared by the agent, I have no reason to refuse.”

He really didn’t give up the opportunity to humiliate her for a moment.

The man’s tone is calm, can’t hear any emotion, “Your agent is more perspicacious than you, estimated to be a lot of effort, the skirt with you is beautiful, a man will not be able to hold.”

The sudden burst of red into the bar is indeed stunning everyone, including even him, even if married for so long, he is the first time to see her so dazzling.

Phoebe Barnes’ jade white teeth bit down on her lower lip, not even feeling the pain in her feet anymore, raising her eyes to look him straight in the eye, her voice holding thin anger, saying word for word, “I told you, I didn’t prepare this dress. If you care a lot, I won’t wear it like this next time.”

At this moment, the elevator doors dinged open.

She didn’t hesitate to help Nancy MO walk in and raise her hand to press the door close button.

The door is about to close, the man’s upright body does not walk in quickly, handsome face in addition to indifference can not see other expressions.

Phoebe Barnes was a little baffled, “What are you doing following in?”

“Make love!”

Dropping two words, the man suddenly clasped her chin and lowered his head and kissed.
