Chapter 1871 Lucius Is Her Son
The sky was getting dark, and the stars twinkled as the bright moon illuminated the path home for Larry. It’s so silent, yet so heartwarming… Selena found herself enjoying the moment and subconsciously leaned her head against Larry’s chest, causing a satisfied grin to form on his lips.
“Mom!” Lucius shouted at her when he saw her, and the look in Larry’s eyes turned grim instantly.
Lucius is her son?
“What happened to you, Mom?” Lucius ran up to hold his mother steady.
“It’s nothing. I just slipped and fell, that’s all!” Selena gently ruffled his hair with a relieved smile on her face.
Larry, on the other hand, had an ice-cold look on his face as he made his way to the window.
“Are you okay, Mr. Norton?” Lucius walked up to him and asked cautiously.
Larry turned around and shot him a cold glare in response, scaring Lucius so much that he ran away and threw himself into Selena’s arms.
“Wah! His eyes were so scary, Mom!” Lucius whispered beside her ear, making her stared at Larry in confusion.
Why is he being so cold all of a sudden? He seemed so warm and gentle when he carried me home moments ago!
“It’s getting late… You must be hungry, right, Mr. Norton?” Selena asked.
Larry slowly turned toward her, his eyes filled with love and affection as he stared at her. Being uncomfortable with such displays of affection, Selena quickly looked away and went into the kitchen.
“I-I should start making dinner! Ms. Young will be back soon!”
For some reason, my heart beats really fast whenever we make eye contact, and I can barely breathe too! I must be losing my mind!
Selena shook her head forcefully as if to snap herself out of it.
Larry fell into deep thought as he gazed at the night sky outside the window while Lucius was focused on doing his homework.
Selena found herself constantly being distracted as Larry’s face kept popping up in her head.
“D*mn it, why do I keep thinking of him?” Selena mumbled to herself.
“Thinking of who?” Larry appeared behind her suddenly.
“Y-You… What are you doing here?” Selena stared at him warily.
How did he get behind me without making a sound? This is ridiculous!
“I came to see if you needed any help with making dinner,” Larry said softly as he walked up to her.
Selena quickly pushed him away to put some distance between them.
“N-No need, I can handle this all by myself! I-It’s really cramped here in the kitchen, so why don’t you wait outside?” she stammered in a state of panic.
Damn it, my heart’s racing again!
Selena began taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down, only to have Larry step forward and force her against the cabinet.
What’s he doing? Is he going to kiss me?
With his right hand on the cabinet door, Larry then leaned in closer toward her face. Selena’s heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
She closed her eyes tightly and prepared herself for the impending kiss when she saw that his lips were getting closer to hers.
Smack!
Selena opened her eyes and saw Larry closing one of the cabinet doors with his right hand.
“What were you expecting?” Larry asked with a mischievous grin on his face, causing Selena to feel incredibly awkward.
I seriously thought he was going to kiss me!
“Uh… N-Nothing! I… I’m going to continue making dinner now!” She then shoved him away and began cutting up the vegetables.
How embarrassing! My ears are all red too!
“Here, let me do it. It’s too dangerous,” Larry said as he quickly took the knife from her hand.
She must be really worked up right now, so it’s best if she stays away from the knives…
Selena had a strange sense of déjà vu when she watched him cut up the vegetables. This is odd… Why do I feel like I’ve seen this man make dinner before…
