It felt like home?
I was puzzled, unsure what he meant by that. He probably had a family of his own after so many years!
He leaned his head on the back of the seat and only spoke after a long time, "This is a feeling that only you can give me."
I was uncertain what he meant and wanted to ask him but he had already closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to continue the topic. I had no choice but to let it drop.
Initially, I thought he must be playing some sort of new trick on me because he had deliberately planned t o sit beside me. Though surprisingly, he did not do anything throughout the two-hour journey. He did not even say a word to me.
He merely glanced out the window to look at the scenery with a thoughtful look on his face.
I gradually went from being restless to relaxed. I even took a nap. It was only when the conductor announced that we had arrived in Salt City that I woke up.
I got up and was about to take my luggage when Tyler snatched it away without a word. He immediately
dragged it with him.
"It's okay, I can take my own bag." I reached out to take my luggage. There were only two sets of clothes and toiletries, so it was not heavy at all.
Not saying a word, he reached out and held my hand, leading me forward.
I frowned and tried to retract my hand when he said i n a deep voice, "There are so many people here and you're a pregnant woman. What if someone knocks you down?"
Tm okay, let go of my hand." My voice sounded a little cold. I was irritated.
He ignored me and held my hand tightly as we slowly walked out with the crowd. I tried drawing back my hand a few times but to no avail. Helpless, I had no choice but to let him hold it.
"Look, that tall and handsome man is so gentle and kind to his wife. I’m so jealous!"
"That's right. Say, why do other people get all the goodlooking partners whereas the ones we meet are always ugly and inconsiderate?''
"Why don't you look in the mirror first? Do you think you're as pretty and elegant as her? The two look like a perfect match when they walk together. They're a perfect couple. There's a reason why they say that some couples are a match made in heaven, you know?”
The sound of chatter coming from behind me made m e quite embarrassed, but I could only lower my head and pretend like I did not hear it.
