“It's getting late. Let's go to bed!” Larry said.
“I don't want to!” Joan shouted and shot him a fierce glare.
He was surprised by her outburst and was at a loss of words.
Huh, I should be the one getting mad insteadlMy goodness! She saw herself as the aggrieved party. Larry kept staring at her. After a while, he wanted to break the silence, but he did not dare to say a word.
Joan sensed his uneasiness and turned toward him. She met his gaze. “What are you doing?” “I'm waiting for you!” Larry replied impassively.
“Why?” Joan retorted.
He yawned and responded, “Let's go to bed! I'm afraid that you will catch a cold if you fall asleep here.”
Instantly, his words warmed her heart.
Joan got up and fell into Larry's arms, rubbing her head against his chest and acting cute like a baby.
“Are you still mad at me?” She raised her head to look at him and pinched his cheek gently.
“Joan Watts, you're such a rascal! I'm mad, and you are supposed to pacify me, but why is it the other way round...”
Before Larry finished his words, Joan stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss on his sexy lips.
“Is this compensation good enough?” She smiled shyly, blushing a little.
“It's just not good enough!” Larry pulled her into a tight embrace.
“Huh?” Joan's eyes widened in surprise.
“I want more!” With that, he carried her into the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Delilah was in her bedroom and overheard their conversation. She could not help laughing.
Youngsters are weird. Their relationship is an emotional rollercoaster.
The next morning, Joan woke up early and rushed to the photography studio.
They had restored the studio. The shattered glasses had been replaced, and the lobby had been cleaned up. None of the employees quit.
