Best novel online free at novelhall.com or NovelTeam.Net

Edith thought that after talking with Neil during dinner, she had liked him a little bit more.

This man might be a man of a few words to others, but he would say more than he usually does to convince her. Last time, he had convinced her that the reason he had kissed her had nothing to do with him wanting her to stay for Hazel. This time, he had convinced her that he did not mind her background and she should not be insecure when they are together.

She did not need to match him and he did not need her to help him to boost his career. 

If he wanted to talk about business, he can always do that with the directors, managers, or his business partner. What he needed was for her to stay by his side and be the person where he could return to whenever he was tired. The person he needed was someone who can accompany him in life. As long as they love each other, everything else would not matter.

Whenever Edith recalled his words again, she had the urge to swoon.

Her boyfriend was good looking, rich, and knew the right thing to say to her. At the thought that she was currently dating him, Edith had a sense that she had won a huge jackpot.

"What are you spacing out about?" Neil asked.

The two of them went back to their place after their meal as Edith was worried that Hazel would be upset if they stayed out for a long time. He had pulled his vehicle into the parking lot a minute ago when he noticed that the person beside him was staring at the scenery with a silly smile on her face. 

Edith snapped out of her trance and turned to Neil. "Nothing." She beamed with a smile. "Just thought that you are so good to me."

Neil chuckled at her answer. He stared at her face for a while and thought of her question earlier that he had evaded. "In fact, I do like it when you acted a little bit like a little gangster."

Her brow raised questioningly. "Why? Because you haven't met a female gangster before?"

His hand suddenly moved to pinch her cheek. "No. I've met a few female gangsters before, but none of them are as cute as you."

Her heart skipped a beat and Edith thought that this man was getting better with his sweet words. Perhaps, she should find a new nickname for him. It seemed that Iceblock Mo was no longer suitable for him.

"Just that, I like it when you can act freely and just be yourself." He considered for a while, and continued, "Being together with me would not be easy for you. There will always be others who are going to say that we are not compatible. Whatever happened, I just wanted you to continue to be yourself."

Unable to hold on against the temptation, Edith took off the seat belt, held his face in both her hands, and kissed his lips. After a while, she pulled away and rested her forehead against his. 

"What are you doing?" His gaze stared at her moist lips.

"Playing hooligan." Her lips stretched up into a smile.

Seeing the smile, Neil shifted his gaze to meet hers. His throat rolled upon meeting her intent gaze. Her bright eyes pulled his into hers, not letting him look away for a second. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet and the only sound that could be heard was their breathing.

Her hand that was resting on both his cheek slowly moved down until they encircled his neck. A while later, Edith shifted her gaze to his lips. Then, she leaned forward to kiss him again. Her kisses were slow and unhurried. She was taking her time to taste his lips, trying to tell him exactly what she felt towards him at this time.

And the man obediently reciprocated her kisses. His right arms wrapped around her waist, holding her in place. And a while later, his hands grew restless and he started to caress the area around her waist and her back.

Neil wanted to feel more of her, but at this time, he could only swallow to suppress his feelings, knowing that the timing was not right.

"Neil Mo," Edith whispered against his lips. "I think I like you even more now."

A low, reverberating laugh escaped him. "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Her gaze flickered to meet his. Seeing the black pool staring back at her, Edith suddenly sensed an incoming danger. When his hands moved away from her waist, Edith heaved a breath of relief. Slowly, she backed away from him, creating a distance between them. 

"We should go up," Edith said. "Hazel is still waiting for us and Nanny Ann will need to head back to her place."

His eyes narrowed dangerously, but there was a hint of playfulness on his expression. "Trying to escape after having your way with me?"

"Darling, you are the one who tried to seduce me first." Edith blinked her eyes innocently at him. "You said those sweet words to seduce me, isn't that it?" She tilted her head sideways and swiftly slipped out of the vehicle before the man in could do anything to her.

Seeing the helpless look in his eyes, Edith started to laugh. Then, she stood at the side of his vehicle as she waited for the man to calm down.

When the couple returned to the house, Hazel sat up from the sofa and greeted them at the door cheerily. 

A strange feeling seeped into her heart and Edith suddenly thought this situation was almost the same as if having a child excitedly greet her at the door as she came back from work!

After exchanging a few words with Nanny Ann, the elderly woman went downstairs and Driver Tang sent her back to her place. 

Edith accompanied Hazel to play around for a little bit and read her a book to sleep. When she walked out of Hazel's bedroom, Edith found Neil stood in front of the door. 

He was holding a mug of warm milk in one hand, and her water bottle in another hand. The empty bottle was now refilled.

"Drink this first," Neil said, handing over the mug to her. He watched her drink her milk and retrieved the empty mug from her. Then, he stretched his hand to pass her bottle. "I have them refilled for you."

Edith smiled. She always had this habit to enter the kitchen in the middle of the night to refill her bottle, but after they started dating, her nice boyfriend had taken this task over. "Thank you."

"Alright. Go in." Neil held the door for her and kissed her cheek. "Good night."

Closing the door, Edith leaned on the door with a smile on her face. Although they were living together, she still got to experience the feeling of having her boyfriend sending her to her door after a date.

Edith thought that this feeling was pretty good.
