The Unexpected Marriage

Chapter 40 Fair Competition

Before she could hold the doorknob, she fell into a familiar embrace.

She had smelt it before. It smelled light, mixed with cigarette and lemon.

Darren didn't buy a cigarette from the street stall easily, so the smell of his cigarette was completely different from that of others. It didn't make her feel disgusted, and there was even a hint of warm love, which made her want to stay in his arms for a longer time.

"I know what you're thinking about, so you should also know mine."

In the quiet and empty office building, there were only the two of them. Joan seemed to be surprised. When she looked back at him, she looked back so fierce that she almost hit his chin.

Opening her mouth, she suddenly felt that she had lost the ability to speak and didn't know what to say.

After a long time, she felt her feet a little sore.

"I have confessed my love to you. Would you please respond to me?"

Joan rubbed her thighs and said, "I don't know what to say. I just want to say that I feel safe with you around."

She felt a sense of relief from the bottom of her heart. As long as he was by her side, she could feel that no matter what happened today, she was safe.

She had never had this strange feeling when she was with Scott.

"For your safety, I will still stand by your side, and no one can hurt you!" He turned Joan's face to him and asked with a playful smile, "So, Miss Gu, are we still dating in name only?"

"What do you think?"

"I'll show you."

His kiss was so gentle that even Joan stood on tiptoe to kiss back. A trace of shyness appeared on his face. But he suddenly stopped. She could see fear in his eyes. He didn't know if it was just her illusion.

Mr. Lu had never been like this before, at least she had never seen it before. Somehow she felt the alienation in the air, which was not in accordance with the atmosphere. Her fingers tickled in his palm.

"Darren, what are you thinking about?"

He rested his head on Joan's shoulder. After so many years, he had the same feeling as he had before.
