Chris planned to check his brain again to see if the congestion had diminished when he returned to Bomsville.
After Scarlett hung up the phone, she found that Chris was looking at her, so she smiled, tilted her head, held her chin, and looked straight back at him.
Scarlett kept smiling, and neither of them spoke.
After about two seconds, Scarlett got up, walked over, wrapped her arms around his neck, looked into his eyes, raised her hand to touch his brows, and said, "I'll help you take care of Tenton for only one more year." "Okay." Chris had already investigated Teuton and known everything.
No matter what had happened before, he would never ask her to give Tenton back to him even if he regained his memory.
But he still needed to solve all the problems over there within a year.
He had been here for just one week, but he didn't want to go back to Bomsville now.
He disliked the food, the people, and everything there.
Chris looked down at Scarlett with his black eyes, raised his hands to hold her face, rubbed her cheek with his thump lightly, and then slowly pressed his thin lips against hers.
Watching his face approaching, Scarlett closed her eyes.
Thinking of tomorrow’s separation, both of them were reluctant to part with each other. No one said a word, but the room seemed to be full of voices.
Scarlett opened her eyes slightly. When she saw his face, she suddenly become sentimental.
She had never had such a feeling since she had become an adult, but now, she felt as if she had suddenly become a self-willed child, not wanting to let Chris go.
She tightened her arms around his neck and said, "Don’t go."
When the sweet voice reached Chris’s ears, he felt as if his heart were tightly wrapped by vines.
He raised his hand to pull the quilt over and tucked her in.
When he saw the blush on her face, his heart softened all of a sudden. He touched her cheek lightly, leaned over to kiss her forehead, stared at her with his black eyes for a while, and said tenderly, "Good night."
Scarlett was sleepy, so she blinked and soon fell asleep.
