The Claiming by Cooper

Chapter 403 It's Tiring to Kiss So High

Huston calculated the time. "You can come back on January

4th."

Evelyn blinked her eyes, thinking she had misheard. It was

quite rare for him to make a concession voluntarily.

"Do you have anything to do on the day before I come back?"

"Yes, I'll go to the island with Marcellus for a few days. I'll be returning on that day."

The island?

Evelyn subconsciously thought of Mia and asked, "What about

Mia then?"

"Sadie will take care of her. I have paid Sadie five times."

She raised her eyebrows, imitating his expression. "So you had everything planned in advance and didn't bother to tell me?"

"If I had told you, would you have been able to accompany

me?"

Evelyn pursed her lips. Well, she really couldn't.

She sighed jealously and said, "Ah, it must be nice to be wealthy. You can go wherever you want to travel, unlike us ordinary people who can only stay at home..."

The seriousness on Huston's face almost faltered when he

heard her teasing him. He pretended to twist her waist and said, "Do you want to be taught a lesson?"

Evelyn pretended to be frightened and quickly leaned against

the car door. "No, no, no, I'm sorry."

They chatted and laughed along the way, and when the car

stopped at the entrance of the Hub Apartment, it was nearly

half past twelve. Evelyn took the things off the car herself, as the driver wasn't there, and Huston couldn't go upstairs. She

was left alone with over a dozen bags, looking like a walking

hanger.

"I'm going upstairs now. You should go back."

Huston stood still. "I'll watch you go upstairs before leaving."

Seeing that he insisted, Evelyn turned around and went

upstairs. When she had climbed halfway up the stairs on the first floor, she turned her head and could still see him standing in the same spot without moving.

Suddenly, Evelyn felt a bit guilty. She was going back to her parents' house happily, while he would return to a cold and empty home. Now he had to watch her back as she left, feeling lonely alone.

No.

She couldn't stand it.

She placed the things on the stairs, turned around, and

quickly walked downstairs to stand before him. When she met his surprised gaze, she stood on her tiptoes and raised

her head to kiss him on the corner of his mouth. Huston was

stunned.

It was rare for him to show such a confused expression. Evelyn

smiled and then repeated what she had done just now. "It's

your reward."

Huston finally couldn't help laughing, and his eyes were full of

affection, all focused on her. "That's it?"

After living together for a long time, they understood each. other's desires with a glance or tone of voice. Upon hearing

his words, Evelyn glanced around and, seeing no one around,

reached up and hooked her hand around his neck, drawing

closer to him.

ent down slightly so she wouldn't have to put in too

much effort. Their lips and tongues entangled, lingering, reluctant to part, and unsatisfied. All emotions turned into this simple touch, and the bottom of their hearts was

stirred into ripples.

At the end of the kiss, Evelyn's toes were almost cramping. She muttered with a smile, "It's tiring to kiss so high."

"No worries, if we're on the bed, we won't get tired," Huston, nuzzled her affectionately with his nose and said something vulgar in a serious manner.

While whispering in his ear, Evelyn

saw a middle-aged lady walking behind them. She quickly released her hold and coughed uneasily. Once the lady passed by, she said, "You should go now. I'll watch you leave before going upstairs."

Just as Huston was about to refuse, she interrupted him. "You can go now, or I won't be able to bear it."

She stood at the entrance of the building with a smile. Behind her was a slightly worn-out unit door. The midday sunlight bathed her, and her smile reached deep into his heart, evoking thoughts of a

peaceful and beautiful time.

Huston tilted his head slightly and smiled, suppressing the urge to take her home. He turned around, opened the car

door, and got into the car.
