39 -39: Actually Can’t Bear to Part
Although Yusuf Zuck really wanted to flip Louise Garrett over, in the end, reason triumphed over desire.
Louise Garrett was sick, a patient, and if he bothered her at this time, it would be totally inhumane.
At the same time, he noticed that Louise Garrett was genuinely exhausted because while he was still lost in his thoughts, she was already breathing evenly and had fallen asleep successfully.
“Fine, holding her is quite comfortable,” Yusuf Zuck also closed his eyes, softly inhaling her fragrance, and relaxed.
It wasn’t long before dawn just broke that Yusuf Zuck fell asleep.
That night, he was tired too.
…
Yusuf Zuck didn’t know how long he had slept when he was woken by a series of phone rings.
Upon opening his eyes, he found Louise Garrett was no longer by his side, and the ringing came from the living room.
Yusuf Zuck rubbed his head and walked out wrapped in the towel from the head of the bed.
There was no one in the living room, just a white Apple phone and a note on the coffee table.
The kitchen was empty, so was the bathroom; Louise Garrett was unexpectedly not home.
The phone kept ringing, vibrating too, showing an incoming call from someone named ‘Devin King.’
Yusuf Zuck didn’t answer but picked up the note beside the phone and glanced at it: “I’ve gone to buy breakfast.
Wait for me to come back.”
Yusuf Zuck looked at the wall clock and realized it was already past nine-forty in the morning.
He had slept for over five hours.
“Ms.
Wilcox must be anxious by now, huh?” Yusuf Zuck chuckled bitterly.
His phone had run out of battery and turned off automatically the night before, as he entered Shijiazhuang, and he had not thought to call Ruth Wilcox in the middle of the night to report his safety, thinking he could return this morning.
But now it seemed he wouldn’t be back to the capital until before work ended in the afternoon.
After sitting on the sofa and thinking, he didn’t use Louise Garrett’s phone to call Ruth Wilcox.
After all, it wasn’t easy to explain and it wouldn’t make much difference, since he could return before it got dark.
Louise Garrett’s phone continued to ring, and Yusuf Zuck watched with interest as the phone vibrated on the coffee table.
Just then, the door made a “click” sound, and Louise Garrett tiptoed in, seemingly afraid of waking Yusuf Zuck.
However, when she saw Yusuf Zuck sitting on the sofa, her face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head saying, “You’re up.”
“Yeah, woken up by your phone.
There’s a call, seems urgent.
You better call back quickly,” Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.
“Oh, really?” Louise Garrett switched her slippers and walked over while saying, “I also bought you clothes and shoes on the way.
You should go to the bedroom, change into them, and see if they fit.
If not, I’ll exchange them!”
“You bought clothes and shoes too?” Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned.
Sure enough, he saw Louise Garrett carrying several packages in her hand.
“Your clothes, after being washed today, won’t dry that fast.
I was worried you might have urgent things to do and didn’t want to delay you, so…”
“Thank you,” Yusuf Zuck took the packages and turned back to the bedroom.
At that moment, Louise Garrett picked up her phone and glanced at the missed call.
After checking, she didn’t return the call but turned off the phone and put the breakfast she bought onto the kitchen table.
Yusuf Zuck quickly changed into the new clothes: a beige casual suit jacket with a shirt underneath, jeans for the bottom, there was even a new set of boxer briefs, white socks, and a pair of casual shoes from Camel brand.
After putting them on, they fit perfectly and looked exceptionally clean.
Yusuf Zuck found that Louise Garrett had a good eye for clothing and took good care of the sizing.
“Very handsome!” Louise Garrett’s eyes sparkled when Yusuf Zuck came out,
“Heh, did I look like Farm Nash last night?” Yusuf Zuck chuckled as he sat down with Louise Garrett at the dining chair and started eating his bun.
“Not at all, it all looked good to me,” Louise Garrett said with a smile.
“You feeling better?” Yusuf Zuck asked.
“Hmm, when I woke up this morning, I was drenched in sweat,” Louise Garrett said quietly.
“Were you scared by me?” Yusuf Zuck laughed.
Louise Garrett turned red with embarrassment, “Not at all.”
Seeing her cheeks flushed, Yusuf Zuck said, “You’re beautiful.”
“Thanks for the compliment,” Louise Garrett too laughed softly.
Afterwards, both of them suddenly fell silent at the same time, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward as neither knew what to say next.
Yusuf Zuck ate heartily, while Louise Garrett nibbled on her food.
After a long while, it was Louise Garrett who broke the silence, asking softly, “What…
What are you doing in Shijiazhuang?
When are you leaving?”
Yusuf Zuck replied, “I’ll be leaving soon, came to Shijiazhuang to deal with some personal matters.”
“So soon?” Miles O’Brien’s face darkened, and she lowered her head again.
When Yusuf Zuck saw the change in Miles O’Brien’s emotions, he suddenly smiled and asked, “Reluctant to see me go?”
“Oh…
no…
it’s just…
I…
I’m on a long vacation, and I wanted to find someone to hang out with.” Miles O’Brien stammered.
“I really don’t have the time, my boss only gave me half a day off,” Yusuf Zuck sighed.
“When will you come back to Shijiazhuang?” Miles O’Brien asked.
“I don’t know, probably not going to…”
“I’ll wash your clothes and clean your shoes…” Before Yusuf Zuck could finish, Miles O’Brien suddenly stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
Also, her voice changed, became somewhat hoarse.
After Yusuf Zuck finished the last dumpling, he washed the bowl and chopsticks clean, then went to the bathroom door and stood there, watching Miles O’Brien clean his shoes.
His shoes were very dirty, covering Miles O’Brien’s hand with mud, but she seemed not to mind! freewёbnoνel.com
“Your clothes and shoes, once I’ve washed them, you can come and get them when you have time.” She did not lift her head, and her voice became faint.
At this moment, Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment and said, “I work at Fengdu Group in Beijing, just a driver.”
“Oh.” Miles O’Brien uttered, “You’re better off than I am.
I lost my job yesterday and haven’t found a new one yet.”
“You lost your job?” Yusuf Zuck frowned.
He had thought that Miles O’Brien’s heavy drinking last night was due to heartbreak or something.
It seemed unemployment had led her to drink.
“Yeah, I was fired by the boss’s girlfriend.
She said I was flirting with the boss, but honestly, just looking at that man disgusts me!”
After thinking, Yusuf Zuck asked, “What did you do before?”
“Jewelry company, business consultant!”
“What does that mean?
I don’t quite understand!” Yusuf Zuck laughed, “I’m a simple man, I don’t understand your professional lingo.”
“It means I was responsible for things like jewelry appraisal.”
“Appraising treasures?” Yusuf Zuck said, surprised.
“Sort of, so I’m not worried about finding a job.
That earlier phone call was from a company boss!”
“Good job, and quite a specialty!” Yusuf Zuck praised.
“Yeah, I bought this apartment with the money I made these past few years, but I helped the company make even more.
Never thought it would end up causing so much trouble, my colleagues gossiping behind my back!”
“Don’t talk like that, their loss for losing you,” he said.
“Yeah, that’s true.” At that moment, Miles O’Brien smiled and said, “If I hadn’t gotten drunk, I might not have run into you.”
“I should go now,” Yusuf Zuck suddenly said.
Miles O’Brien’s body shook, “Come by to pick up your clothes and shoes when you have a chance.” She asked Yusuf Zuck to come by a second time to collect them, although Yusuf Zuck had already told her he might not come back, but she still stubbornly wanted him to come by when he had time.
Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “Okay, I will come to pick them up, goodbye!” After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Miles O’Brien didn’t get up to see him off, continuing to scrub Yusuf Zuck’s shoes vigorously!
“Bang~” The door opened and then closed, the room falling into silence.
“Wuu wuu wuu~” Miles O’Brien suddenly sat on the bathroom floor and began to cry softly.
An indescribable feeling, an unclear and poignant sadness, she cried, cried heartbrokenly.
“Hey, beauty, mind being my ‘guide’?
Show me around Shijiazhuang?” Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck’s voice rang out again, and at the same time, he peeked his head in with a chuckle.
The rascal hadn’t actually left!
“Ah…
Ahhhh, you lied…
you lied to me…” Miles O’Brien jumped up and swung her fists to hit him.
And at that moment, Yusuf Zuck held her face and kissed her.
“Huff~”
In an instant, Miles O’Brien calmed down and responded passionately to him, hot as fire!
