"What are you thinking?" Giving him a sidelong glance, Sumr Sutton climbed off of him.
After taking a look at him, she didn’t rush to leave.
Watt Bennet raised an eyebrow, waiting for her next words.
Sumr Sutton gazed deeply at him for a long mont, then suddenly grabbed his hand, her voice a bit urgent, "Watt, let’s never be apart again, okay?"
As if afraid he would reject her, Sumr Sutton’s hand held his tightly.
Watt seed caught off guard by her words, and the ti he was stunned stretched a bit long.
Sumr Sutton’s eyes showed a hint of panic, anxiously watching his reaction.
She wanted a promise from him. She and he had already been through a life-and-death separation once, and Sumr Sutton didn’t want to be apart from him a second ti!
Watt was silent for a very, very long ti, but in the end, he said nothing.
"You can’t kick out!" Sumr Sutton didn’t want to rush him, so she turned and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Her words seed to demand it of him, yet were imperious, almost like an order.
Watt ca back to his senses, his eyes a bit stagnant.
In the kitchen, Sumr Sutton clattered around, the noise she made a little loud, becoming the only source of sound in the villa during dusk.
However, it didn’t bother Watt at all.
Sumr Sutton prepared a very elaborate dinner, opting for French cuisine, ticulously crafted, taking a long ti.
After spending a full three hours, once everything was ready, she opened a bottle of red wine, poured a glass for herself, and another for Watt.
Raising her glass of red wine, she gently clinked it with his, her red lips slightly upturned, and under the shimring light, her smile blossod like a flower, "Celebrating my move in!"
Watt lightly closed his eyes, softly reminding her, "Miss Sutton, I haven’t agreed to you moving in yet."
"Does it matter?" Sumr Sutton paid no heed to his words at all,
Gazing around the villa, she began to list the benefits of the two of them living together, "Look, this villa is so big, there are so many rooms, wouldn’t it feel lonely if only you lived here alone? With here, there’s more company, soone to talk to when you co back in the evening, als will be ready for you, and I can help you with any inconveniences. With all these benefits, could you bear to refuse?"
"Miss Sutton!" Watt rubbed his temples, seeming to have a slight headache.
"You’ve been calling Sumr for the past few days!" Sumr Sutton seed indifferent about his form of address, adopting an expression that clearly showed she knew him well.
Watt, "..."
"I still prefer you calling like you used to!" Sumr Sutton downed the wine in her glass in one go, leaned closer to him, a hint of teasing flashing in her eyes, "If you don’t like calling like before, and you prefer calling Little Sutton, Sumr, or even darling, I wouldn’t mind."
Watt was at a loss for words at her boldness, adjusting his posture as he reassessed her.
He had always thought he knew Sumr Sutton better than anyone.
Yet today, he realized that his previous view was completely wrong!
What little understanding he thought he had of Sumr Sutton, how could that count as understanding?
He had never seen such a roguish side of her before!
Lightly tapping his fingers on the table, Watt looked at Sumr Sutton with an odd expression.
Sumr Sutton paused slightly, casting a sidelong glance at him, and suddenly blurted out, "You used to call ’baby’ a lot too. If you want to call that now, you can."
