Chapter 474 - New Apartment (1)

...

Noah had been busy moving recently, or rather, helping Christy move.

Christy spent two days with Trevor in the attic. Amazingly and curiously, she didn't suffer from a nightmare while with him. She used to sleep in Noah's arms yet still woke up in tears. Noah, who was only a teenager, had little idea about how to comfort her. He simply hugged her and gently patted her back.

Christy had thought that she could never enjoy such tenderness again. But as she woke up in Trevor's arms, her mind was changed. Thin and fragile as he was, she was held tightly by him all the time. She saw him hooded with his beautiful side face exposed under her eyesight. His complexion was light and the vessels under the skin could be easily seen. His cheek was so thin that there seemed to be no flesh between his skin and his jaw bone. The Adam's apple bulged in his neck, and his clavicle lay under his loose clothes.

A ray of light cast through the side of the curtain, which made Trevor uncomfortable in his sleep. He always unconsciously covered his eyes with the hood. That was why when Christy woke up, she could only see the parts below his nose, including his lips which were dry due to lack of water.

She could hardly believe that he would want to be with her.

Christy wanted to laugh. She thought Trevor was the simplest person she had ever seen.

Nowadays, if a man could stay with a beautiful woman and still behave properly, he either had an unspeakable illness or didn't like women at all.

However, Trevor was neither.

He saw the world in a different way. Though he seemed solitary and introverted, he was in fact kind and warm-hearted. Otherwise, he would not take her at her words and just hug her all night long.

Christy had seen all kinds of men over the years. She would display different characters when dealing with different men. She could be charming, seductive, cute, lovely, mature, or considerate. She had made a lot of men fall for her and cheated their money in this way.

But she didn't know what character she should show when facing someone like Trevor. It seemed that she didn't want to conceal herself anymore since he had seen her in her most embarrassing moment. She was willing to show her true self to him.

Trevor was not a client she needed to soften up.

Moreover, she wanted nothing but some traces of peace and tranquility from him and to lie here quietly.

She could be comforted by merely leaning on him. And she could stay calm even when she recalled that unbearable period in the past.

But the devil inside of her silently came out in front of his innocence.

Many teenagers who experienced traumas ended up taking revenge on the society. Christy wouldn't claim herself as a bad person, but she was definitely not a good person.

She had committed theft, fraud, involuntary manslaughter, and had been a fugitive suspect.

She and Noah had done different kinds of bad things since their teenage years which left countless stains on her resume even with their family background putting aside. That was why she felt funny when she heard Emily said that Emily would help to find her a job.

What company would employ someone like her?

They changed their names, stole, and swindled just to survive, so that one day, they could reveal to the world what those villains had done to persecute them and other people who had suffered the same misfortune could be free of blame.

They used to think they were great because they wanted to save others and save the world even though they were hurt. But deep down, Christy knew that they were just reluctant to see those people get away with it. They wanted to wipe them out and see them being punished. They were even willing to sacrifice their lives for this cause.

It was all for their reluctance!

The reluctance of healing themselves while the wicked could live well.

Christy froze for a moment as she felt a warm touch on her eyes. She looked up and only saw Trevor's fair skin. The warm breath on her face could not be ignored.

She did not say a word.

Trevor was kissing her eyes.

...

Touched, Christy pushed him with her uninjured right hand, "What are you doing?"

She uneasily wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and felt tears on her face. It turned out she burst into tears.

"Saliva, Trevor, how dare you drool on my eyes!" Christy shouted as she wiped away her tears.

Trevor was lost for words.

Looking at his dumbfounded expression, Christy couldn't help but laugh. "You're such a delight for me!"

When she got out of bed to wash up, she came to her senses and said, "Don't learn those things of easy virtue or kiss anybody else."

Trevor nodded.

Christy turned on the tap in the bathroom which made a large sound, so Trevor did not hear anyone go upstairs. When the door was opened, he thought that it was the servants who came to serve food so that he did not make a sound.

However, after a while, he heard Arabella.

She said, "Trevor, I'm here to check on you."

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped.. It was not until then that Arabella realized that there was someone in the bathroom. Then she turned around, faced toward the bathroom, and asked, "Did you just get up?"
