The Love Book

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips, “Did John Lu tell you that?”

“Not him, it was Wren.”

Ann Shi was quiet for a few seconds, her eyes were complicated, “You hid Ran’s age from him, but he’s a smart man, a single mother with a child, he can find out if he checks a little, you won’t be able to hide it for long.”

Phoebe Barnes’ chopsticks in her hand gave a slight beat, her expression gradually condensed.

“Since you want to make a show, you should make a full set. Or …” his eyes dimmed and he said in a low, faint voice: “You want to go back to him again?”

Phoebe Barnes’ heart shuddered, her breath choked as she bit her lip and asked, “How do you do the whole thing?”

The man looked at her quietly, the sentiment under his eyes without the slightest reservation, and said in a light voice, “Ran needs to have a father, a real father who seems to be able to convince everyone outside.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes blushed slightly, not that she was surprised at his words, John Lu had said them before, it was just that …

She closed her eyes, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and her low voice was a little helpless and apologetic, “Ann Shi, you don’t have to be like this? You are so good and deserve a better girl, don’t waste your time on me year after year.”

This was the first time she had been so frank with him, although she was also guilty in her heart.

The man did not seem to be surprised by her rejection, nothing changed on his face, and even pulled out a gentle smile, “My excellence is only what you see on the surface, and where you can’t see, I may be even worse than John Lu. What I like is what I like, purely just because it’s you, if I cared that much, all those women I met before, any one of them would be more qualified than you.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes bit her lower lip, frowned, and tried to express as euphemistically as possible, “But … you know very well that if I don’t say yes now, I probably won’t say yes later, so waiting around empty, isn’t it a waste of your time?”

Ann Shi face smile Rong deepened, handsome face looks more elegant handsome, with a few joking tone said: “before I do not want to get married, always have to wait, waiting for you is also waiting, waiting for others is also waiting, the same time spent, maybe you will change the attention later?”

Phoebe Barnes bowed her head speechless, “…”

She no longer knew what to say.

Ann Shi looked at her quietly for a few seconds, picked up the cup, lowered his eyes and took a sip, smoothly hiding the emotions under his eyes.

A moment, he hooked his lips, smile Rong in more than a hint of cynicism, “In fact, I did not force you, even if you do not agree with me, you can still consider my proposal just now, do not have to speculate so much about my feelings, in fact, I am very happy.”

“…”

…

After sending Ann Shi away, it was already very late.

After taking a bath with the sleeping Qiao Ran Ran, Phoebe Barnes dried her hair and prepared to go to bed, tired and sore from the day, she really didn’t want to move.

But just as she lay down, her bedside phone vibrated.

She scanned it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She didn’t hang up and didn’t answer it because she was afraid that the media was calling to harass her.

After ringing once, a few seconds later, it rang again.

The woman tightened her eyebrows, moved her fingers, and finally took it to her ear to answer, “Hello, hello.”

“What, after half a day of talking, he didn’t stay the night?”

“…”

The man’s voice made Phoebe Barnes’ brain explode, she changed her face and cursed coldly, “Kemp Ross, are you insane in the middle of the night?”

How did he know that Ann Shi had just been here?

Her heart sank, and her voice grew colder, “You sent someone to spy on me here?”

The man didn’t answer, just said with these commanding tone, “Now go downstairs.”

“…” Phoebe Barnes’ eyes widened, “Kemp Ross, are you out of your mind? Why don’t you go back to sleep with your fiancée in the middle of the night and harass me?”

The man laughed lowly, his mellow voice filled with evil compulsion, “You want me to go up there myself? It’s kind of exciting to be fucked in front of your own daughter.”

The woman’s face went white for a moment, biting her lip and cursing angrily, “Shameless!”

“Good girl, two minutes, I’ll wait for you.” The man finished incomparably tenderly and hung up the phone.

“…”

The downstairs, Phoebe Barnes wrapped in thick clothes, cold face, through the moonlight to see the black car parked not far away, the window seems to have a bright star fire, she stood still for more than ten seconds, before biting her lip and walked over.

The man has long found her figure, but until she approached, only to turn his eyes to sweep her eyes, noting her thick clothes, gripping the cigarette lips slowly hooked up a mocking arc, “Get in.”

“I’m not getting on.” The woman’s tone was overwhelmingly direct in her refusal, “I no longer have any relationship with you, can you stop pestering me?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The man looked at her through the window, the dim light wanted to make it impossible to see the expression on his face, but one could hear the light smile caught in that magnetic voice, “Do you want the whole neighborhood to know that the actress in today’s headlines is meeting men privately in the middle of the night?”

“Kemp Ross …”

“Get in the car.”

Phoebe Barnes was furious and had no choice, she really didn’t doubt at all that he would do something crazy if she didn’t get in the car.

She pulled the back door twice, but it didn’t open. She took an angry breath, turned to the passenger side and opened the door and got in.

The car didn’t stop again, it started straight away and drove off towards the neighborhood.

Phoebe Barnes shuddered inside, “Where are you taking me?”

The man’s expression was light, did not look at her and did not answer, just drove smoothly.

But Phoebe Barnes was anxious, she was worried that at night Qiao Ran Ran Ran could not find her at night will cry, frowned tightly, panic said: “Kemp Ross, if you have something you say things, do not leave too far.”

Kemp Ross still did not answer her, circled around and drove the car directly into a green belt, and then turned off the fire.

The abrupt stop relieved Phoebe Barnes’ anxious heart and she looked out the window in total darkness, “Where is this?”

She said about to open the door and get out of the car, only to find that the door was locked.

Snapping her head around to look at the man, she said feebly, “What the hell do you want?”

The man’s breath was obviously cold, but his attitude was quite lazy, coming close to her, actively reaching out to unbuckle the seat belt on her body, while she was laughing lowly in her ear, “Isn’t it obvious enough? Of course it is … fuck you.”

The woman tensed her body for an instant, reflex-like, a push away from him, annoyed and cursed, “The same for several years, you are really shameless to the limit.”

The man’s eyes were filled with frost, but still smiled gently, “What? You can talk to Ann Shi for hours, but spending a minute with me makes you disgusted? Compared to three years ago when you were shyly lying in bed for me to fuck, Phoebe Barnes, tell me, who has become more?”
