"What?"
"I said that you don't have to."
"Why..."
Before Evelyn could finish her words, Lawrence said, "You don't have any package. It's me."
"What do you mean?" Evelyn was confused.
Lawrence smiled and explained, "I told a student who passed by to call you just now, because I didn't know if you're in the school right now, but I didn't want to call you by myself. I just... want to give you a surprise."
After he called Evelyn two days ago, he dealt with some important work in a hurry. Then he booked the earliest flight and came back.
What he said on the phone that day was true.
He really missed her and wanted to see her.
Therefore, he came back just to see her. Even if he could only meet her and say a few words to her, he would be satisfied.
He had never mentioned these things to anyone, including Evelyn.
When he got off the plane, it was half past six in the morning. He took a taxi and came to A University directly. When he arrived, it was more than eight o'clock.
He asked a male student who passed by to call her indeed. Of course, he didn't let him do this in vain. As for why he did this, it was because he wanted to give her a surprise.
He was only in his twenties and had studied abroad for many years, so he was open-minded. As for how to pursue a girl, although he was not very experienced, he knew how to please a girl.
Perhaps, he played a little trick, because he knew that many girls liked this kind of surprise, but what could he do? He did this to her just because he wanted to be with her.
Hearing this, Evelyn felt that her head was buzzing and she was dumbfounded. However, her heart beat wildly again.
Now, she was very sure that the idea that flashed through her mind just now was true. He came back to see her specially.
"You..." She swallowed and asked, "Were you serious on the phone that day? Do you come back to see me?"
"Yep." Lawrence nodded, "I want to see you, so I came back. But don't worry. I came back after dealing with some urgent matters. I listened to everything you said to me. I don't want you to think that I didn't take your words seriously. I don't want you to worry about my work, either."
He really liked Evelyn, and he knew that Evelyn didn't like him so much at this time. He knew that he had done a silly thing before, so he could wait for her patiently.
He was a man. If a man really liked a woman, he should think for her and should have his own career. He just wanted to let her rest assured and let her know that he was not a playboy.
"So I came back after dealing with my work. I'm here to see you. The package you would receive is me."
Evelyn's heart trembled. She was moved. When she looked up, she forgot the fact that she was very untidy at the moment. She just looked straight at Lawrence, who was smiling at her, and her heart was full of warmth.
