I will Love You Forever - Chapter 140

Qin drove away from Johnathan’s mansion but found himself making a U-turn. It was hard for him to focus and he didn’t even know why he was going back to that house.

Once he got there, he stayed across the road and didn’t go in. It was strange for him to come back to this house for no reason and he wanted to pin it all on his workload.

He knew why he had come here but he didn’t want to acknowledge it. Qin raised his hand and looked at it for a long time. “Aish…” he looked away and cursed. This was the first time he was feeling something this weird and he didn’t want to believe that she was ‘the one’.

After a long time of waiting, he started the car and drove off.

From the window, some with high senses watched quietly. Kel could tell what was cooking up but she didn’t want it to happen.

She walked back to her table where she was drawing and looked at the picture. This time, she didn’t scribble but actually drew an image. It was Qin and her art was very realistic “I’ll have him for myself.”

Kel’s lips curved upwards in a sinister manner. She looked as though she was slowly becoming a maniac and needed phycological help.

In the car, I kept talking about how nice it was to visit the shooting range. I didn’t know that Gerard knew people from the military if only I had known, I would have chosen to go there every weekend.

“It was so much fun. I want to go there again next weekend.” I happily spoke as Gerard drove the car.

He wasn’t saying anything but I didn’t mind since I was used to him being quiet like this. I took out my phone and marked today as a special day.

It took some time before Gerard finally said a word. “I don’t want to go there again.” it was surprising to hear him say that. Could it be that he didn’t have fun? I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

“Huh! Why?” I asked confused.

“I don’t like the air there.” was his short answer. He didn’t like the air? What was that supposed to mean?

I said nothing and he also didn’t say anything else. He drove home and went in first. ‘What is up with him? Did he get possessed on the field?’ I wondered.

Sigh. I walked in with a smile on my face. Today was awesome and there was no denying it. “Ah ma’am…you’re here.” I greeted Grace after seeing that she was at the mansion.

She sneakily walked up to me as though she was about to gossip then pulled me to a corner. She was acting like a typical mother and this was new to me.

“Why is Mr Gerard jealous?” she whispered. I and Grace had gotten so close to the point where I feel relaxed talking to her.

“Jealous?” I asked confused. He didn’t look jealous to me. He just looked moody.

Grace nodded but when she saw my ignorant look, she hit her forehead with her palm. “Are you a kid? Of course, he is jealous. I’ve never seen him this jealous in all my years of walking with him.”

When she explained it like that, I finally understood. ‘Ah-ha… So he is jealous huh… Let’s see if he makes it through this jealousy alive.’ I smiled cheekily already having an idea of how to tease him more.

I went to the room and heard the shower running. “He must be trying to ease his jealousy. Hehehe, let’s fuel it even more so he would want to take another bath.” I smiled mischievously and waited patiently for the water to stop running.

We started using the same room after our first night together. Whenever I remember that day, I can’t help but wonder if that was really me, how daring…

Soon, the water stopped running and he walked out of the room. “Ah yes… Thank you for today, it was fun.” I raised my phone and spoke to Mr air.

Gerard pursed in his steps and looked at me for a while. I didn’t even behave as though his presence affected me and turned my back towards him. All I knew was he was going to burn with jealousy until he finds out it’s just a prank.

“I learnt a lot from you, Mr Khan. It’s too bad that Gerard wanted to come back home on time.” I deliberately called Gerard by his name and smiled cheerfully on the phone as though I was talking to an actual person.

I heard him walking closer to me. He was walking in long strides and I knew it was time to end the call if I didn’t want my phone to lose its importance.

“Ah… What a nice man.” I turned around and there he was with just a towel. “Oh… You’re still here.”

Gerard blinked and looked at me as though he wanted to say something but didn’t have the right words.

“Why did something happen?” I looked at him worried and dropped my phone on the table. I checked his temperature and pretended as there he was hot. “Woah… Your temperature is hurt. Didn’t you just take a cold bath? Why are you this hot?”

He held my hand and wanted to say something but still didn’t manage to say anything. “Why? Is there something you want to say?” I asked staring directly into his eyes.

Gerard cleared his throat. “Um… Actually…” before he could say anything, I cut him short.

“Oh… You should change your clothes and sleep. It seems your having a fever. I’ll just message Mr Khan and tell him goodnight.” I walked away but he caught up with me.

“Ayla…” his voice was not harsh but rather gentle which was surprising to me. Did my prank fail?

I turned around and in the next minute, I got a hug. What is going on? Why is this working in the opposite direction? I wondered if something was wrong was he not angry at all?

“You said you wanted me. Are you giving me up so quickly?” he asked in a gentle voice too gentle that it felt like a horror movie.

“Why were you acting up in the car?” I asked in response to his statement.

There was a long silence but I threatened to break the hug and he finally spoke this time, a little angry.

He broke the hug and began. “Why did you smile at him like that? You even promised him that you were going back there next weekend. And you’re even speaking with him on the phone.” he said so many things at once and he looked like a customer complaining about the services.

This was the first time I was ever seeing Gerard act up like that. He looked so cute with his lips pouted like that.

“And…” I asked to know if there was something else he wanted to say.

He finally said the last thing. “I don’t like him.” he paused then continued, “I don’t like when you smile with men like that. That’s for only me.”

Seeing him like this, I didn’t know whether or not to laugh.

I moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Mr Gerard, I said I wanted you and no one else and I’m sure that you know that the phone call was fake.” I tilted my head and raised a brow.

Gerard sighed. “Do it matter if the call was fake? You mentioned his name and smiled as well.” Gerard knew that the call was fake because he couldn’t hear anyone from the other end but still didn’t like the way she smiled when she said Khan’s name.

I couldn’t hold my laughter anymore and chuckle. He looked at me and his brow furrowed, “It’s not funny.” he complained and I finally laughed.

“You look so cute when you’re jealous. I feel like kissing you all over your face.” I teased but Gerard took my words seriously and smiled.

“I wouldn’t mind if you did that.” his voice was calm and gentle. I had to say he was one of a kind.

He pointed to his cheek. “Start here.” I shook my head and smiled before placing a peck there.

“And here…” he pointed to his second cheek and I pecked it again. “Here…” he pointed to his forehead and I did the same thing.

He pointed to his chin, the space between his brow, the space beneath his ear, then finally, “Here…” he pointed to his lips and I couldn’t help but smile at this side of him. He was like a baby seeking attention from his momma.

I placed a peck on his lips but he held me back. “What was that?” he asked unsatisfied.

I broke from his grip and walked to the wardrobe and took a towel. “Too bad you had a bath fast. I wanted to invite you.”

“Who said I took a bath?” Gerard ran over and unexpectedly carried me.

“What are you doing?” I asked startled by this sudden act of his.

“What else? Let’s take a bath together.”
