Chapter 8 Chapter 8 When he gets in the car, he doesn’t start the engine but comes to hug me. ‘I finally realize how it feels while waiting. I am so sorry, Charlotte. I have had you waiting for me for so many :imes but I won’t in the future. ” said he. [ frown and push him away, murmuring, “Drive home! I want to sleep!” He strokes my head with a faint smile, “Anything but a drinker. I have to keep a close eye on you in case you get drunk and be used by others. ” It seems to me that Alexander’s body is possessed by another soul. He looks like another person. In our relationship, our roles exchange. He is the more clingy one. He comes to pick me up after work, instead of going to parties with his friends. He says he wants to stay home with me for dinner. I tell him I am preparing for an exam so I have no time and energy to make dinner for him. He says he will do it. And he really makes it. Every day arriving home, he goes grocery shopping and then gets himself busy in the kitchen. I have been convinced that Alexander can not cook since he has never taken a step in the kitchen for me once. So it really surprises me that he can cook and cook very well. I realize that it was not that he couldn’t cook but that he didn’t cook for me. I still remember Camilla posted a picture of him cooking congee. Now, Alexander itches to show me whatever he can cook. Different dishes every day. After dinner, he would not let me to wash dishes and plates but urged me to study. Alexander’s thoughtfulness makes me be on pins and needles. I don’t have a feeling of relaxation and all I feel is heightened pressure because he would always knock on my door and ask me if I would like water or some fruit while I am studying. He is bothering me and I am so annoyed. So I think of a way. I lie to him that I have to work overtime these days and I won’t get off work until 8 pm. The fact is that I study at the office after work. Without his bothering me, I feel calm and am able to focus on my studies. Today, off work, I take out my materials from my bag and start reviewing at my desk as usual. Half an hour later, the whole building blacks out. I go to ask the security personnel and he doesn’t know why either but someone is checking the circuits now. Collecting my materials, I go to the cafe across the street. Ordering a cup of latte, I sit there for two hour’s study. After that, I run back to my office building. I told Alexander that he didn’t need to come to pick me up but he insisted on coming at 8 pm every day. F E When I walk to the front of the building, I see his car approaching. He has been quite talkative lately, throwing all kinds of topics at me. He asks me how is my work, how is my study and how I get along with my colleagues. Chapter 8 Even if I would rarely reply to him, his enthusiasm would not subdue. But tonight, he is so silent. However, I take advantage of his silence to have a good rest. Walking into the apartment, I take off my shoes and he finally breaks the silence. “You didn’t need to work overtime these days, Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… did you?” I freeze for a while and then directly admit, “You are right. ” “Every day, I drive to your company and wait for you in front of the building. I usually arrive at 6:30 pm and then wait for one and a half hours. But when I arrived today, the building blacked out and I saw you run to the cafe across the street, so fast that I had no time to stop you. I followed you and you studied there until eight o’clock. ” “Did you see me then? Why didn’t you call me?” I am a little embarrassed. ”So you are studying at your office all these days, right? Why didn’t you study at home? Charlotte, we are not married yet, and you are tired of our home? You would rather stay in your office rather than come back to see me, right? What I did do wrong? You tell me. I will correct it.
