Vancouver, Canada....
The next morning, in her sleepy state, she felt pain on her body, but the most obvious one was on her body. It was not pain, but something that was clutching to her body tightly. She twisted her head over and saw the familiar short hair, shoulders, and face.
Lillian was stunned and looked at Marcus in disbelief. Just when she wanted to retract his hand from her body, he suddenly opened his eyes and smiled. Lillian vaguely heard a gentle voice was emitted through her ear. "It's still early! Let's sleep in for a little longer" and cast a kiss on her forehead.
Lillian's eye widden immediately, all trace of drowsiness dispersing. 'Did he stay over last night? Didn't he go back to the hotel?' Marcus was making himself more at her home over her cousin place than she, herself.
Lillian was stuck close to his body on the bed and said, "Young Master Huang, why are you still here? You're supposed to go back to your hotel last night."
Marcus scratched his head. "I slept over. I was supposed to leave but you kept begging me to cuddle you to sleep. So I stayed back accompanying you. Now you blame me for it."
Lillian was taken aback at what he said. The truth is she did not have much recollection about whatever happened last night. She was so sleepy that she can't remembered what she murmured before dozing off. Well... It seemed like she had lost not just her integrity, but all her dignity as well...
Marcus pulled her closer into his arms and hugged her tighter, "Sleep..!" When they finally woke up, it was already past 10 a.m. Then, he got off the bed and walked toward the bathroom elegantly.
The sound of water running could be heard from the bathroom. 15 minutes later, he came out of the bathroom and only wrapped in a bath towel! 'Argh! Argh!'
Lillian was used to seeing this man naked and dress stylishly, so she knew that he must have a physique comparable to that of a supermodel. But the drops of water slid down the lines of his standard six-pack abs, rendering this devilishly attractive man far more sexier.
While she was salivating blatantly, Marcus approached her in a calm and composed manner. She quickly took the blanket covering her face. "You, what are you doing?" Marcus gave her a peck on her forehead. "Get up now, wild kitten."
Today, she really slept too long in the morning. She rushed to get up, went straight to the bathroom. Luckily her room had a adjoining bathroom or else she didn't know where to hid. After a shower, she change into a knee-length casual dress, stood infront of the mirror and dried her hair.
Marcus suddenly thought of something and smiled. Three years ago, he had slept with her. This was only that one time he felt, he was not letting her go so easily. He knew he shouldn't be like this, however, it was really... hard to control. In these moments, a voice in his heart was constantly reminding him that he should not let her slip away. He should not let her go.
He sat on the bed with a leisurely pose. The man had a cigarette in his mouth and his shirt was still neatly tucked. He spoke in a steady tone, "What do you want for breakfast?" Then he took out his phone and called his assistant. After that, he stood up and walked towards her.
"..." Before she could say that breakfast had been usually prepared by the Feng's siblings. Marcus stretched his hand over to her waist and in one swift movement, reined her into his embrace and kissed her.
Lillian was startled at the sudden embraced and she allowed him to kiss her deeply, forgetting how to react. Only when she started to feel breathless did Marcus stop. His eyes were not lustful but carried only a gentle softness, like a spring breeze.
She tried pushed Marcus away but he remained unflinching, "Let go. Keith should be here any moment soon..."
"How about we got back to my hotel and have breakfast or lunch there. I need to change my clothes too?"
"How about the breakfast brother FengYe made?" Lillian voiced out. "I told him not to bother with our breakfast last night. We will dealt with it ourselves." She grabbed her bag and left her room with him without even taking her jacket.
Inside the car, his mobile kept vibrating. Lillian was worried something had happened to his company. "Why don't you pick up the call first?"
He picked up the mobile phone from his pocket, "Hello... Mom."
"Son, it's me. How's everything..." Mother Huang's worried voice could be heard from the other end of the call. Lillian's heart tightened instantly. A few minutes of chatting with Mother Huang and making her sure that everything's fine, he placed his phone back into his pocket.
"Mom.. asked when are we going back. She's said it better for you to bore our child in City X, she and Aunty can take turn to care for you." Lillian gave him a side glance, her stare shone in a complicated way.
"Lillian Tang... I love you! I didn't realized it until you're gone. I'm such a jerk, right." He had understood everything now. His feelings for her was definitely not as simple as lust.
On days when he did not see her, he would always remember her inadvertently. Every facial expression, smile, action, and word of hers was branded in his heart. When she was in pain, his heart would unrealizing ache for her. This feeling reminded him of the feelings he had for Ruby few years ago.
Lillian kept quiet but the memories of them together started to reappear in her mind intermittently. Lillian turned her head and what came into view was Marcus Huang's handsome face.
Although he wasn't sure if he should disrupt them, seeing that they have reached the location, assistant Keith bravely opened his mouth and said, "Sir.. Madam.. we have arrived."
