Chapter 14 Are They Living Together?
Phillip was not ashamed at all. Seeing this, Ann rolled her eyes at him and thought he was just an infantile adult.
However, the next minute, she realized Phillip was the president of the Moore Group and that this kind of thing was always done by his servants.
Thinking of this, she felt better. Therefore, she bit the bullet and went into the bathroom to dry his clothes.
The earlier the clothes got dry, the earlier she could ask him to leave!
When Phillip saw Ann go to the bathroom with teeth gnashed, the smile of triumph flew over his face.
Looking around the room, he found this two-bedroom apartment simple but comfortable, and its walls were mostly pink.
'It seems she is still the little fool that always cried when bullied.'
When he looked towards the balcony, he paused.
There were men's clothes here!
'Are they living together?'
Phillip's eyes became sharp and his face darkened with anger. When he glimpsed Nikki, who was playing with Carson, Phillip felt a little depressed.
Ann was drying Phillip's clothes with a hairdryer in the bathroom. It was a custom-made suit, and if it was broken, she could not afford it, so she was very careful.
Phillip, standing at the door, watched her for a while, and it seemed he was in deep thought.
"Did you meet Karl when you studied abroad?"
Phillip remembered he never saw Karl when Ann was young.
Hearing Phillip's voice, Ann was somewhat frightened. When she realized what was going on, she frowned slightly.
"Mr. Phillip, why do you ask?"
Phillip turned his eyes to her from his clothes, and he looked calm.
"As your boss, I need to know something about your daily life, and this will benefit our work and the company."
His answer sounded good and reasonable, so Ann could not refute him.
"No, we met in high school... The shirt's dry. You can put it on."
'It seemed she met Karl after I left.'
Phillip walked closer to Ann step by step. When he received the shirt in her hand, he put it on with it unbuttoned, but he looked more charming than he was bare-chested.
He abruptly propped his arms against the wall behind Ann and stared at her. His expression was much grimmer than usual as if he was covered in mist and she couldn't see his face clearly. "How did you get together?"
Ann was a little scared by what Phillip did. Looking at his face, she realized something.
She thought she was thinking too much, but...
She looked away from him and said calmly, "He was a transfer and lived next door to my house. He was handsome and got good grades, so I liked him at that time. But I was afraid it would distract his attention from the study, so I didn't tell him anything. When studying abroad, he said he liked me. He took good care of me and was willing to do anything for me. I liked him as well, so we..."
Before Ann could finish her words, Phillip clenched his hands. Ann could feel his hot breath on her face, and when she looked up, she saw his Adam's apple was trembling.
Phillip bent down and was about to kiss her lips. She gripped the hairdryer and was ready to throw it at him.
However, Phillip suddenly stopped. He looked significantly at Ann and stood up straight.
"Jackson is still sick in the hospital. I need to go and see him. Please keep an eye on Carson. I'll pick him up later."
When Phillip finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Seeing this, Ann pursed her lips.
She said that on purpose just now, because she wanted to test whether he had feelings for her.
However, he had a strange reaction.
Men of high status like Phillip couldn't like her. At most, he was just curious about her.
Now that she had said that, she guessed he wouldn't pester her anymore from now on.
As she thought about it this way, she walked out of the bathroom. However, she didn't notice there was a pair of silvery cufflinks lying in the storage box that usually held toiletries.
"Miss Ann, did Daddy just say Jackson was sick?"
Carson, who was patiently playing Lego with Nikki, looked up at Ann and asked.
Ann nodded. Given Phillip left anxiously, this person called Jackson must be very important to him.
Jackson frowned slightly, "He must get caught in the rain with my uncle. They always cause trouble for us!" Seeing Ann was confused, Carson explained,
"I forgot to introduce myself. Miss Ann, my name is Carson, and Jackson is my twin brother!"
Ann was stunned and looked at Carson in surprise, 'They are actually twins!'
Carson looked down and helped Nikki rebuild the blocks.
"Jackson and I look the same, but he's cold, just like dad, so he's not cute at all!"
As he spoke, Carson shook Ann's finger and blinked his big eyes.
"Miss Ann, I always want a cute younger sister like Nikki. Can I often come to play with her?"
Seeing Carson looked at her expectantly, Ann somehow recalled the kid that had been carried away five years ago.
By now, he should be as old as Carson.
Carson noticed that Ann was in a daze, so he shook her hand, "Miss Ann?"
When Ann realized what was going on, she began to struggle in her mind.
Although she liked Carson, his father was Phillip. If possible, she didn't want to have contact with Phillip.
However, she could not refuse Carson, so she tried to change the topic.
"Your daddy will pick you up later. Are you hungry? I will cook for you and Nikki."
Although Carson was young, he realized that Ann did not want him and his father to come here often.
He was a little disappointed, but he tried to be kind and nodded, saying, "I'm not picky about food. Thank you, Miss Ann!"
'It's all daddy's fault. He has a handsome face for nothing!'
It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, but Phillip did not come. Carson almost fell asleep.
Therefore, Ann took out her phone and patted Carson.
"Carson, do you know your daddy's phone number?"
Carson looked sleepy. He narrowed his eyes and nodded, telling Ann Phillip's phone number.
Ann dialed the number from time to time, but no one answered.
When she turned around, she saw that Carson had fallen asleep on the sofa. He frowned slightly and looked uncomfortable.
Seeing this, she carefully picked up Carson and walked into her bedroom, putting him beside Nikki on the bed.
In the early hours of the morning, there was heavy rain in the River City, and Ann was woken up by the thunder.
She opened her eyes, and when she looked at Nikki and Carson who were sleeping beside her, she was not sleepy anymore. Worried about Karl, she texted him but got no reply.
She thought Karl should be sleeping. Therefore, she put down her phone and decided to sleep. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
