The Love Book

The large living room, a moment left two people, upstairs and downstairs.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Phoebe Barnes moved her lips and was about to say something when she saw the man suddenly turn around and drop only two words, “Get up here.”

She was stunned for a second, pursed her lips and went upstairs.

The upstairs bedroom, the room where the two men stay each time they return.

She entered the house but saw no man, only the sound of water running in the bathroom.

Is he going to take a shower?

Just as he was about to wait him out, a man’s cold, low voice came from the bathroom, “Come here.”

Phoebe Barnes was stunned, her heart abruptly began to be nervous, bit her lip, walked to the bathroom door, and said, “Let’s talk about it when you get out of the shower.”

“Come in and help me press my shoulder.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes only felt the root behind her ears suddenly heat up, such he … let her suddenly some guessing.

But she didn’t hesitate much, reached out and pushed the door and walked in.

The bathroom with a lot of space, small bath, half of the man’s body already lying in it, his short black hair wet, the tips still dripping, droplets of water running down the bridge of his high nose and then sliding down his chin.

Phoebe Barnes suppressed the fluttering in her heart, grabbed a dry towel from the side, walked over, lay down next to him and began to massage him.

There was a dead silence all around, no one spoke first.

I don’t know how long it took, Kemp Ross suddenly opened his dark eyes, looking at the woman in the mirror across the room, her face without makeup was paler than usual, and her softness was extraordinarily pitiable, he asked coolly, “How is your health?”

Phoebe Barnes was slightly stunned, then pretended to massage with her heart and replied, “It’s already fine.”

The man slowly frowned and asked carelessly again, “Why is your father here today?”

Phoebe Barnes’ downcast eyes flickered momentarily, “He …”

“Those words can fool the old man, you want to use them to fool me too?” The man’s voice with little temperature interrupted her.

Phoebe Barnes spine stiffened, directly shook his head, heart anxious, off the record made up a lie said: “No … my father just … just heartbroken I was denigrated by those messages online, so some impulsive ran here to want a statement, was I stopped … so I met you guys, I hope you can understand him.”

This lie was perhaps more convincing than the others, and this was exactly the thing she wanted to explain, she had to cover up the sickness thing completely.

But soon, the man’s cool smiley voice rang in my ears, “Phoebe Barnes, you want me to put all this coincidence on you as a coincidence? Heh … just pretending to be weak to kill two birds with one stone, earn a lot of attention, and give yourself a name, even if in those plays you are in would there be such a coincidence?”

“I …” Phoebe Barnes hand slowly stopped, her voice lowered, and she opened her mouth and murmured, “You … don’t believe me?”

Even if she wanted to lie, it definitely wasn’t about that, and he didn’t believe her?

The man suddenly turned his face to look at her, his ink-black eyes were bottomless, his water-filled fingers lifted her jaw and whispered playfully, “Phoebe Barnes, in an objective analysis, how many points do you think you can give for this reason you made up? I would understand the impulses of a father, but have to think about your intentions.”
