Suddenly, I felt incredibly soft inside.
With my arms wrapped tightly around his waist, I let him take control.
Probably considering that there were both an adult and a child in the bedroom, Frank didn''t overstep. He kept things brief, his gaze deep, and asked, "Go to my ce?"
My cheeks heated up, and I shot him a re. "Jane didn''te to take care of your nephew."
"Only this once."
He didn''t feel embarrassed at all.
But I still declined politely. "No, it''s too soon to establish our rtionship. You can''t rush things."N?velDrama.Org owns this.
"I''m not going to eat you." His gaze was teasing, his voice clear. "Besides, I just wanted to cuddle with you. You''re on your period, so I can''t go all out..." "Frank!"
''He''s so shameless!''
He was saying everything out loud.
I desperately covered his mouth but still couldn''t stop him from saying that word. My face grew even hotter, and I felt my earlobes turn red as if they might bleed.
He gently moved my hand away, holding it in his and squeezing it, raising an eyebrow. "I''m not allowed to say it?"
"No."
"Why?"
"It''s... inappropriate."
"How inappropriate?"
His gaze was mocking. "There''s a say, ''Desire is part of human nature.""
"I can''t argue with you." Embarrassed, I pulled him up and pushed him towards the door. "Alright, alright, it''s gettingte. You should go home and get some sleep." "Okay."
Frank responded sullenly, reluctantlyplying as he followed me out of the house and waited for the elevator.
The building had one apartment per floor and was a small vi.
The elevator arrived quickly.
However, Frank showed no intention of entering.
I looked up at him. "What''s wrong..."
Before I could finish, he suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me into an embrace.
It was gentle yet firm.
I was momentarily stunned, unsure of where his emotions wereing from. I didn''t push him away and was about to enjoy his embrace when his hand, which had settled on my arm, slowly slid down from my elbow to my forearm. Finally, it rested on my wrist. The warmth and dryness of his thumb explored the scar on my wrist, hidden under the bracelet I wore.
I tensed up.
How could he know about this, which I had kept hidden from him? Before I had time to think, he murmured softly, "Baby, did it hurt?"
He didn''t say much, but I could clearly feel the concern in his tone.
I was also slightly dazed by the affectionate nickname.
But soon, recovered and looked up at him from his embrace. "Yes, it did hurt. Frank, if something happens to you again, I might do it again
In truth, this injury wasn''t directly rted to him.
It was just that day was his birthday.
swn?
That day, I won a highly prestigious award, and the apuse was overwhelming.
Many familiar and unfamiliar people showered me with praise, and I received nothing but good wishes.
Holding the trophy, I left, only to spot Frank''s figure among the crowded streets.
In a moment of distraction, he vanished.
I searched every shop and office building on that street.
He was nowhere to be found.
The excitement and sense of
aplishment from winning theet
award were starkly contrasted with the fact that "Frank died." G belongs to FindNovel
I even, in a daze, bought a bottle of red wine on the way home.
When I came to my senses, I was already lying in a hospital bed.
It was then I realized I had slit my wrists.
Dave wasn''t a patient person, and it took him all his effort not to yell at me.
He was terrified. "The award
cer ended, everything seemed fine. How did you end up doing something so drastic when you got home?"
"I think I saw him, but I couldn''t find him."
"Who?" Dave immediately caught on, speaking in fluent Friastan, "Your lover?"
These things were shared openly between us after he told me his various love affairs and started gossiping about mine.
We exchanged secrets, as people often do.
Moreover, I knew Dave was a good person.
''My lover.''
This was Dave''s summary of Frank after hearing about my experience.
