Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 9

Outside the bar, it began to drizzle. The fragrance of leaves mixed with soil made her feel very comfortable. Leah took a deep breath of fresh air. She was almost suffocated just now.

In the past two years, she had thought that she was very happy. Even if he had been cold to her sometimes, she had waited for his proposal in the end. But why did this happen now?

Seeing that Bonnie was standing beside a flower pool by the roadside, [穆瑾瑜] trembled slightly. He knew that she was crying. The rain was getting heavier, and Bonnie's thin figure looked even more lonely.

Suddenly, Bonnie felt that the rain stopped. She looked up and found [穆瑾瑜] standing beside her with an umbrella in her hand. A warm current coursed through her heart.

"That kind of man doesn't deserve your tears." Lucian said coldly.

"I'm not crying for him, but for my efforts in the past two years." Leah wiped her tears.

"Sometimes, there is no return for what you have done. You should feel lucky to see a person clearly in two years." Lucian looked at the cars coming and going and said in a low voice.

Leah fixed her eyes on the man in front of her. The lamplight at the roadside shone on his face, making him look particularly hazy.

"Mr. Lucian, I want to go home. I'm tired." What happened today was too sudden for her to bear.

"Let me drive you home."

After Lucian drove away, a man wearing a peaked cap came out from behind the tree, looked at the photo taken by the camera and smiled wickedly.

As soon as she got home, Leah went into the bathroom. She stood under the shower head, with water flowing quickly on her face.

In the past two years, she had just made up a dream for herself. She could feel that Charlie was indifferent to her, but she still lied to herself. She just wanted a family. Was it so difficult?

Maybe she didn't deserve a home.

An hour later, Leah came out of the bathroom. Her wet hair fell over her shoulders casually, and water dripped from her neck and shoulders to her pajamas. She looked pure and charming.

Leah wiped her hair with a towel. There was no hair dryer at home. If she slept with her hair wet tonight, she would have a headache tomorrow.

She lay on the bed, thinking about the betrayal of Charlie, and her hair was wet. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"Tinkle..." Someone sent her a message.

Leah picked up her phone. It was from Lucian.

"Are you asleep?"

"No." Leah replied.

"If you are sleepy, then go to sleep. If you are not sleepy, I will accompany you."

Tears welled up in Leah's eyes. She didn't understand why he was so good to her.

"Mr. Lucian, why are you so good to me?"

Lucian was slouching in his pajamas. Sitting on the cane chair on the balcony, he took a sip of red wine and looked at the words on the screen of his mobile phone. He couldn't help but smile. Was this woman so easy to satisfy?

"Shouldn't I care about the employees' psychological problems?" Lucian raised her eyebrows and sent the message.

Looking at the message from him, Leah felt depressed. He texted the employees at eleven o'clock in the evening to care about their psychological problems. Mr. Lucian, what the hell did you want to do?

"Do you want to go out to vent your anger?" Lucian sent another message.

"I have to go to work tomorrow."

"I give you a break. You will be paid as usual."

Leah thought for a while and said, "okay."

Half an hour later, Lucian arrived at Leah's house in his Cadillac.

The Boss explained that they should keep a low profile tonight.

'Mr. Lucian, are you sure you want to keep a low profile?'

Leah was furious.

But tonight was indeed very low-key. In the dark night, the car was black, and even Lucian was dressed in black casual clothes.

"Why is your hair wet?" Lucian frowned.

"I just washed myself. There is no hair dryer at home." Leah answered indifferently.

Pursing his lips, Lucian drove to the largest exclusive electric appliance store in the city. After a while, he came out with a hairdryer that could both charge and connect electricity.

"Dry it. You'll catch a cold." Lucian handed the hair dryer to Leah.

"Okay."

On the way, Leah kept silent. While drying her hair, she looked at the shadow of Lucian through the window. She felt that this arrogant boss was not that difficult to get close to.

The car stopped in front of a bowling gym. It was already eleven o'clock, but the door was still open.

"I can't play bowling." Leah was both surprised and embarrassed.

"It's okay. Let me teach you."
