Chapter 25: Daring Not Look Him in the Eye
“You always say that. But you two only come back a few times in several months.”
Suzanne felt a little sorry. On the one hand, she was busy. On the other hand, she didn’t want to meet Edwiin very often, so she always used work as an excuse. Unless Afra forced her, she would never come back.
She was afraid that Afra would nag at her, so she quickly served the dishes. When she called others for dinner, she found that only her father, Frederic, was in the living room, so she had to go upstairs to find Edwiin.
“Edwiin, Mom said it’s time for dinner……”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Before she could finish her last word, Suzanne swallowed it into her stomach. Leaning against the door, she stared at the room with her eyes wide open. She was completely dumbfounded.
The man standing by the bed was tall and straight in build, with white skin and a very handsome face. His lips were slightly pursed, and his whole body exuded an oppressive momentum, which made him dangerous and charming.
That was not the point. The point was that the man’s upper body was naked. His waist was narrow. His muscular broad chest was particularly attractive, making people want to reach out and touch it.
God!
Suzanne bit her lip and covered her eyes with her hands from her forehead down. She looked a little annoyed.
How many times had she looked at his body?
If she had known that he was changing clothes, she would have stayed away from him. She should have just stood at the stairway and called him.
Seeing Suzanne cover her eyes and not daring to look at him, the corners of Edwiin’s mouth curled up slightly. He put on the T-shirt unhurriedly, and in addition to his pride, there was also a little happiness in his eyes.
Because of the scene upstairs just now, Suzanne almost didn’t dare to look up when she was eating at the dining table. She was afraid that if she looked up, she would meet Edwiin’s deep eyes since he was sitting opposite her.
“Suzanne, why are you so quiet?”
Seeing that Suzanne didn’t respond and kept her head down while eating for a long time, Afra thought that she didn’t like these dishes. “Don’t you like the dishes I cooked today?”
“What?” Suzanne raised her head in a hurry. Hearing Afra’s words, she immediately put on a smile.
“No. Mom’s cooking is very delicious. I was just thinking that if I’ve prepared all the materials needed tomorrow.”
“Seriously,” Afra muttered as she picked up a tender bamboo shoot and placed it in Suzanne’s bowl.
“You didn’t go to your brother’s company but went to a TV station to work. Now you’re so tired at work. Is it worth it?”
“No, I like this kind of job,” Suzanne said with a smile, dare not to look at Edwiin. “Besides, I can do nothing in his company.”
“It doesn’t matter!” Afra said indifferently, “Just let your brother arrange an easy job for you. He has so many people there. Does he care about hiring one more person like you?”
Suzanne coughed twice. Because of what Afra had said, she looked uncomfortable.
A faint smile appeared in Edwiin’s cold eyes. He took a napkin from the side and wiped his lips slightly. He then said, “Mom, if she likes that job, let her do it. When she gets tired of it, she can come to my company. I’ll take care of her.”
Suzanne became even more uneasy and tightened her grip on her chopsticks. She was very upset.
Afra nodded with satisfaction and smiled happily. “Really? That’s more like an elder brother. She’s your only sister. You should dote on her.”
The corners of Edwiin’s lips curled up. His smile was so faint that it was barely noticeable.
