It was almost noon when the
The special assistant's call came in, saying that something was wrong with the company, Liam said hello to Katie's housemaster and left the main garden.
On his way out, he thought better of it and went to the pear orchard.
Liam pushed open the door of the room. Katie is painting in front of the window, the drawing board has already seen that the beginning of the painting is a deep blue sea.
The window was wide open and a cool breeze was blowing in.
The window was wide open, and a cool breeze was blowing in. There was a rustling sound of paper being blown around, and a few sheets were blown apart on the ground. Liam walked straight over to the window and picked up the paper on the ground and put it on the table in silence.
After a short period of silence, he spoke in a low voice:
"There's something going on at the office; I have to go now; we'll go home together after dinner."
Katie knew that by home he meant Liam's house, and the tone of his voice wasn't one of discussion or asking for permission, it was a direct announcement.
"Don't bother, just have my assistant drive me back."
"I'll be back to pick you up tonight."
Liam walks over to the window and reaches out to close it, paranoia and dominance in his voice.
Before he heard the woman's reply, he was already out of the room and
Katie looked out the window, the car window glass still reflecting the handsome sideways appearance of the man's face, full of quiet indifference, the
In today's society, all the major markets, both domestic and foreign, worship the ascetic male god as the god of face value.
This kind of people are generally extraordinary face value, especially cold temperament, has a strong spirit of self-discipline, ordinary people can't look forward to.
The man sitting beside her right now, when called,
Driving in front is the assistant, waiting for the traffic light when he opened his mouth:
"Mr. Liam, the maids in the north building have all been dismissed, the newly hired maids will not be able to go to work until after two days, do you think you should go to the south building side first to transfer two over?"
Liam did not make a sound when he heard this, and only after a while did he faintly open his mouth:
"What's going on?"
The assistant had already received the order last night, naturally knew that he was asking about what happened last night, and looked at the two people in the rearview mirror.
The woman's hand is casually resting on the back seat, looking lazily out the window, and the man is looking ahead with his jaw set on the floor, and the woman's hand is resting on the back seat.
The man is looking ahead with a tight jawline and a cold expression.
The distance between the two couples shows that they don't know each other well.
They don't know each other well.
Suddenly met Liam's cold gaze, the assistant quickly back to focus on driving.
"The housekeeper said that the new maid is not very good at making soup, and she is usually close to the servants in the south building, so she appeared in the north building and said that she was asking for advice on how to make soup."
This seems to be a question, but it is actually an explanation.
Inside the car and a burst of silence, did not turn on the air conditioning, but the assistant felt that there is a wind blowing people's backs straight cold, the car is traveling smoothly, the
The car was moving smoothly.
The assistant felt that this suffocating atmosphere lasted for a long time.
A long time, only to hear Liam cold hard voice:
"Explain, in the future, there is nothing important, the people from the South Tower side shall not come over freely."
"Before the newcomers come, don't transfer the people, I will arrange it again."
After ordering and not waiting for the assistant to reply, Liam reached out and raised the car's partition, cutting off the line of sight from the front, and the space became quieter.
The space was quieter.
Katie saw through the window glass Liam reached out when the window night Liam, flashing neon light, slipped through the table on his wrist, refracted to dazzling light.
She couldn't help but think of the group photo on Hot Topic.
The hand on Victoria's shoulder was wearing this watch.
Well, a nine-figure watch, it shows status, and with his handsome appearance.
It's got the makings of a real ladies' man.
"How long will you be harboring it?"
Katie asked blandly.
Nominally, he was the closest person to her, but in reality, the two of them seldom got along in life, and their fields of specialization were very different, strictly speaking, they were strangers under the same roof.
Strictly speaking, they were strangers under the same roof, and their daily life was one of silence.
But from the moment she was at the airport, she made the decision to take another gamble for herself.
On their future.
So she decided to try to break the silence.
Liam heard her questioning, and could even see the vivid expression on her face as she frowned.
He couldn't help but remember the short and pleasant time they had spent together when they were young and in love with each other.
Her hand was attached to hers, a broad palm wrapping her entire hand in its grasp, and Katie struggled twice to free herself from
but the more she broke away the tighter the man's grip became, and simply let him have it, and
"Wait, Auntie Lin can't be moved yet, there were people outside the ward, how she got in is still unknown,"
"Afterwards, she was quickly poisoned and mute, she can't read, the person behind her knows this very well, don't you want to know who is the mastermind and what other purpose is behind it?"
Liam finished staring at the impassive side of the woman beside her and added softly:
"Just let her stay at Grandma's, don't let her appear in front of you, trust me, okay?"
The starry dome of the car, emitting a gentle, shallow glow, illuminating the stars in the man's deep eyes.
Katie met the man's burning gaze, didn't say a word, craned her head out the window to stop looking at him, and
They'd been out of touch for too long, and this kind of private conversation was even more rare.
He lowered his voice again, in a half-consultative tone
"Stay with me at a party tomorrow night. Hmm?"
Voice low and magnetic, two years of marriage, the two have been separated, not warmly get along with
It was the first time they had ever sat in a car and talked in such a confined manner as they were doing now.
Katie turned her face away and refused:
"I don't want to go. I want to sleep all day tomorrow."
Liam hadn't expected her to say yes, he'd wanted her to go out after last night's unpleasantness.
Since she was tired and wanted to sleep in, Liam let her go, his lips curled up slightly
"Okay."
The car pulled into the north wing, Katie got out and walked in front of her, glancing in the direction of the gardens as she reached the door.
Liam followed, following her gaze and
said with the slightest hint of a smile:
"Want to go and have a look? There's your favorite flowers, and... A pond of koi. If you want to feed the fish, wait until tomorrow when they wake up."
Last night she had been right about the fishpond over in the garden, and Katie, startled, gave him a sidelong glance and
and went quickly into the house.
Katie had been a very active girl in her teenage years, and she didn't look like a girl from a famous family.
Grandma came from a family of scholars, and was very good at calligraphy and painting, so it was a headache for her to see Katie acting like a tomboy all day long, so she took Katie to the Cold Moon Pond.
So she took Katie to the Cold Moon Monastery for a period of time to try to calm down her temperament, perhaps because the Cold Moon Monastery is too lonely and boring.
Katie's favorite thing in the day is lying in the koi pond in the Cold Moon Temple to feed the fish, sunshine, that time onwards, especially like fish.
Later, she raised fish every time, the reason is that the fish are always fed by her to die, in order to prevent her from continuing to harm the living beings, he volunteered to help in the courtyard where he lives.
He offered to help her keep goldfish in the yard where he lived, and she often found excuses to visit him.
At that time he was still there, Katie's family lived in the remote bamboo garden, raising koi together was the beginning of their love ...
The yard was brightly lit, and Liam stood in the doorway, his slender shadow drawn by the light.
He inserted one hand in his pants pocket, inclined his face to look at the direction of the garden, the corner of his lips arched slightly upward.
The assistant who parked his car behind him and came over noticed that Liam was in a good mood today.
So much so that he had the idea of working overtime so that he wouldn't be chastised if he made a mistake.
