Chapter 22
“Mr. Cameron, calm down.” Milo leaned forward and held the steering wheel. ‘Don’t be impulsive.”
Anson’s eyes were sharp. “Let go.”
The icy breath overwhelmed Milo, and Milo shivered and let go of the steering wheel.
Anson’s eyes were fixed on Elame and Martin, and he became murderous.
Milo folded his hands, praying that Anson would keep calm.
Hearing the sound of the car’s engine, Elaine turned to look.
Her eyes hurt from the headlights. When she saw Anson driving towards them at high speed, she said to Martin, “Anson is crazy. Just stay here tonight.
Is it appropriate
“It’s nothing inappropriate. Elaine took his arm and entered the apartment building.
Anson’s eyes smoldered with anger, and his hostility surged more violently.
Milo trembled.
Seeing Martin, Eddy widened his eyes and asked angrily, “Martin, what happened to the corner of your mouth? Who hit you?”
Martin touched the corner of his mouth and said calmly, “It’s Okay. I accidentally hurt it.”
Eddy was extraordinary. Although he didn’t say anything, his mind was full of doubts.
He took the medicine box. “Martin, I’ll help you with the injury
Elaine returned to Martin from the window and took the medicine box from Eddy. She said solemnly. “It’s late. Time to go to bed”
“Mommy, tomorrow is Sunday.”
“Children should go to bed early and get up early.
Eddy twitched his mouth. “Okay. Remember to help Martin dress the wound.
With that, he blinked at Martin and went into his room.
Julian was tinkering with the iPad. Seeing Eddy, he hurriedly asked, “Is Martin wounded?”
“Since you haven’t slept, why don’t you go out and have a look?” Eddy looked at Julian angrily in confusion.
“I am busy”
Lamia was working hard to delete the trending topics about her, but Julian would not allow Lamia to be satisfied. “Martin said he accidentally hurt his mouth. In my opinion, he was beaten by someone. Find out who did it.”
Julian frowned and quickly invaded the surveillance system at the entrance of the apartment.
A trance of anger showed on his face, and he clenched his hands tightly.
“Who was it?” Eddy leaned forward.
The two leaned their heads against each other, staring at the video.
Eddy was angry and snorted, “Why did he beat Martin? He didn’t go to the witch’s concert, so I felt somewhat well-disposed toward him, but now it’s all gone. I’m so angry.”
Eddy was so angry that he walked back and forth.
Julian rubbed his chin. “If it’s just because he hit Martin, it’s impossible for Mommy to bring Martin back.”
Eddy’s eyes were full of doubts.
Julian switched the video.
When he saw Anson’s car crashing into Martin’s, he gritted his teeth angrily, and his eyes blazed with anger.
“The big bad wolf has to be taught a lesson,” Eddy said fiercely.
Julian frowned and thought for a while. Then, he had an idea.
He quickly hacked into Milo’s mailbox. He found several contracts and modified the numbers on them. Then, he quit.
“Evie wants to go to the amusement park. Ask Mommy if we can go tomorrow.” Julian climbed down and tucked Evie in. “Okay.” Eddy climbed up and bowed his head to say, “Julian, good night!”
Julian smiled and turned off the light.
Outside the room, Elaine helped Martin clean the wound.
They were so close that Martin could almost tell how many eyelashes Elaine had.
“It may hurt. Bear with it.”
Martin stared at Elaine without blinking.
“Hiss…
He gasped.
Elaine looked apologetic. “I’m sorry. I’ll be gentler.”
It’s OK
Elaine leaned forward again, gently dressing his wound.
Why aren’t you panting?” Elaine couldn’t help laughing “Am I not panting? Martin smiled.
“I’ve finished!”
Stared by Elaine, Martin blushed in shame. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.”
The sofa is short. You can go to my room to rest.”
Martin blushed scarlet.

Elaine packed up the medicine box. When she realized Martin fixed his eyes on her, she turned to look at him. wrong?*
“Did you say I could go to your room to rest?”
“You misunderstood. Elaine felt funny. “You look silly.”
Seeing her smile, Martin coughed embarrassedly.
“You can sleep in my room, and I’ll go to the children’s room.”
Martin was so embarrassed.
“Well, I misunderstood!”
“I haven’t made it clear. You have to make do with it. I don’t have men’s wear here.”
“It’s okay.” Martin hurried into Elaine’s room.
He surveyed the room.
Although Elaine was a woman, the primary color of her room was black, gray, and white, which looked simple.
A photo of Elaine and the kids was on the bedside table. Martin picked it up and looked at it with a smile.
Martin thought, ‘From today on, I am Elena’s boyfriend.
Knock, knock.
Martin put down the photo and opened the door. “What’s wrong
“I’ll get some clothes.”
“OK” Martin stepped aside.
Elaine walked in.
The tip of her hair brushed against Martin’s nose, and the fragrance turned into a soft feather, touching Martin’s heart.
“Okay.” Elaine smiled softly. “Good night.”
Martin’s eyes fell on the clothes that Elaine was holding in her arms. His face burned with shame.
After taking a shower, he turned down the blanket, and his heart thuniped wildly.
Martin forced himself not to think about anything and tried to empty his mind after lying down.
However, the fragrance that belonged exclusively to Elaine went into his nose uncontrollably with the breath.
Elaine i
pushed the door open. Her eyes swept over the faces of the kids.
The next day, Evie opened her eyes and was taken aback when she saw Elaine beside her.
“I dreamed of Mommy hugging me last night.” Evie kissed Elaine’s cheek. “Mommy, I love you so much.”
Feeling warm, Elaine kissed Evie’s forehead. “Okay. Mommy is going to prepare breakfast.”
Julian and Eddy did not get up early to prepare breakfast.
Elaine crept out of the room just as Martin opened the door and came out.
“Morning
Seeing Martin’s black-ringed eyes, Elaine frowned. “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
“Maybe it’s because I was not used to your bed. Martin was embarrassed.
The night before, he had a dream and stained Elaine’s bedsheet
Tm going to make breakfast, Elaine tied her hair up.
“Why don’t we go out for breakfast?” Julian and Eddy suggested with a smile.
They saw Anson’s car parked downstairs and decided to help Martin vent his anger.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
