Her sudden gesture made Noah Drexler’s face and body shudder.

In the next second, he lifted his hand and drew her whole self into his embrace.

On his handsome face, there was now a gentle expression.

"Noah, no matter what happens, I will wait for you, I will accompany you!" Summer Shawcross leaned in his arms, speaking softly yet firmly.

Although she didn’t want to leave, it seemed she had no choice at the moment.

So... she just wanted him to know that no matter what happens, she will be there, she didn’t want him to bear it alone...

Her soft words made Noah’s expression change a bit.

He lowered his head, his thin lips landing on her slightly scented hair, kissing it.

"Silly woman, stay well at Silvanus Manor and don’t overthink!" he said to her in a low, calm voice.

His voice was very steady, giving her an inexplicable sense of security.

She paused for a moment, then gently nodded.

...

——Knock knock!

...

The sound of knocking suddenly echoed.

"Boss, I’m here." Outside the door, came the long-awaited voice of Sean Morgan.

Noah glanced at the direction of the door, then lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms.

Just about to remind her that she should leave with Sean, she suddenly left his embrace.

"I’m about to go, isn’t there anything you want to say to me..." She looked at him, then said with a hint of anticipation...

After she finished speaking, Noah’s eyes flickered, and his expression suddenly became serious, lowering his gaze... warning her earnestly.

"Eat well, don’t lose even a pound!"

Her figure used to be just right, quite proportional, but ever since Sean Shawcross’s incident, she had lost a lot of weight and hadn’t gained it back yet.

Listening to his words, Summer’s face immediately showed disappointment.

Is this all he has to say to her?

Normally, when they part, shouldn’t he be saying something like ’I love you’...

"Is there more..." Thinking this, she bit her lip, somewhat unwillingly asked him.

More?

Upon hearing this, Noah furrowed his brows, then his expression became even more serious.

"Stay away from other men!" He seriously commanded her!

Especially... Yancy Shaw!

Ever since she intentionally acted with Yancy Shaw to lure him out last time, Yancy had been blacklisted by him!

"..." After his words, Summer stopped still, looking at the man’s increasingly serious face, feeling somewhat helpless inside.

Indeed... she shouldn’t have too much expectation from him, this man might never say something like ’I love you’ in this lifetime...

So, she decided not to count on him.

She looked at him for a moment, suddenly reached out her finger, and beckoned him.

"I also have something to say to you, lower your head."

Her beckoning gesture made him frown a bit, somewhat displeased.

Did she take him for a little dog?

Though he was annoyed inside, he glared at her for two seconds and still cooperated by bending down, lowering his head, and leaning his ear toward her lips.

"You don’t have to be this close..." Seeing him lean his ear so close, Summer felt a bit speechless yet amused. She just wanted him to lower his head, didn’t expect him to bring his ear right to her lips, was he afraid of not hearing her words clearly...
