Chapter 56
Diana Swift's clothes were stained with red wine, so she didn't get off with Josh Hunter when he went to buy ribs. But her mind hovered around the words that Josh Hunter just said, "I'll make them for you when we get home." She really couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps Josh Hunter didn't want to keep Diana Swift waiting and he soon bought something back. The driver drove back to Moonshadow Mansion smoothly.
The snow had stopped in the evening. At the moment, the sky was bluish gray and the light was dim. The trees and other green plants on the island in the middle of the lake were all wrapped in silver, and the street lamps meandered all the way with gentle halo.
Diana Swift suddenly discovered that it was the first time she had seen the snowy Moonshadow Mansion.
When they got home, Josh Hunter took the shopping bag to the kitchen.
Diana Swift saw the red wine stains on her dress, told him and hurried upstairs to take a bath.
Before taking a bath, she stood in front of the wardrobe where her pajamas were placed and struggled for five minutes.
From time to time, she picked one and compared it to her body, but she was not satisfied with it. The goose yellow one was too naive, the wine red one was too sexy, the whole set of long-sleeved pajamas was too conservative, and the small skirt with lace were not reserved at all.
After thinking about it, she picked out a few and took photos of them. Then she sent them to the WeChat group for Betty Miller and Bonnie Smith to give her advice.
Bonnie Smith was still in a state of feign death, and Betty Miller gave his reply at the first time.
Betty Miller: [The green one is good, but why do you ask? Are you going to open a pajama party? What time? I want to go, too!]
Diana Swift directly ignored the second half of her sentence, [What's green?]
Betty Miller: [The second one is not green?]
Diana Swift: [... It's obviously haze blue. You are color-blind.]
Diana Swift: [Forget it. I'm really crazy to ask your opinion.]
Betty Miller: [?]
Betty Miller: [Weak, pitiful and helpless.]
They bickered with each other as usual, but Betty Miller suddenly found that something was wrong - the background in the pictures of Diana Swift was so bright and spacious that it was obviously no longer Bonnie Smith's little pigeon nest!
Betty Miller: [Hey, you're not at Bonnie's house anymore?]
Betty Miller: [Did you go back to Moonshadow Mansion?]
Betty Miller: [? ? ? Don't play dead!]
Betty Miller asked several questions, but Diana Swift either kept quiet, or dumped a few irrelevant expression packs, deliberately not giving a positive answer to satisfy her curiosity.
Bonnie Smith had been silently watching the messages in the group. At the moment, she finally couldn't help saying: [It doesn't make any difference what you wear. Anyway, it has to be taken off.]
The group was caught off guard and fell silent.
Thirty seconds later, Betty Miller began to send messages crazily.
Betty Miller: [Woo! I'm just a simple little goose.]
Betty Miller: [What did I do wrong to be polluted by you!]
Betty Miller: [I suspect that you are engaging in pornography and I have already got the evidence!]
...
No one answered her.
After Bonnie Smith broke the secret, she set her mobile phone to silent mode and set the group message to "do not disturb".
Diana Swift threw down her mobile phone quickly, feeling guilty and holding her little face which was like a red egg to cool down.
She felt so strange.
When Bonnie Smith said so, her heart beat very fast. She was really embarrassed to pick out any pajamas, so she took one in a hurry and jumped into the bathroom.
"Actually, what Bonnie Smith said seems to be right ..."
"Wait! What's good? What are you thinking?"
She gave her face a heavy pat.
Bonnie Smith! Sin! Shameless!
Diana Swift: [Bonnie Smith, you are dead.]
-
An hour later, the bathroom was full of water vapor. Diana Swift took a shower, sat on a soft chair near the bathtub, and carefully rubbed the body lotion, which had a very light camellia flavor. She also applied the same fragrant essential oil to her hair, and after drying it, she loosened it slightly, and her long, slightly curly black hair looked fluffy and soft, lazy and natural.
In the end, she stood in front of the full-length mirror and turned around, then nodded and gave herself a positive look. Finally, she didn't forget to apply a layer of fruit-flavored lipstick to her lips.
When she went downstairs, Josh Hunter's cooking had already reached the finishing stage.
Braised pork ribs were red and bright in color, pearl meatballs were lovely, boiled lettuce was green and dripping, all of which had an enticing aroma.
With her hands behind her back, she bounced around the table and walked with small steps to the kitchen to probe her head and asked, "Are there any more dishes?"
Josh Hunter said as he wiped the knife blade, "There's one more tomato and egg soup. It's ready to be served."
"I'll help you serve it." Diana Swift volunteered.
She stayed at Bonnie Smith's house for such a long time, and she also learned to do a little bit of housework. At least now she would feel a little embarrassed to sit and wait for food.
Josh Hunter inserted the knife back into its place, and his voice was warm and light, "No, I'll do it."
"Wow." Diana Swift nodded obediently, and then followed him obediently all the way to the table.
In fact, Diana Swift was a person who refused to stay idle, and she loved to be lively when eating. It happened that Josh Hunter had a good eating rule and didn't like to talk. They could only sit at right angles of the dining table and ate quietly, and even the chewing sound was very slight.
But you would never know what was going on in a girl's mind when she was quiet on the surface, such as Diana Swift. At the moment, she was eating a rib gracefully, but she couldn't stop imagining what might happen after dinner.
She was thinking about it, and her feet under the table swayed unconsciously twice, coincidentally touching Josh Hunter's leg.
Josh Hunter looked into her eyes with a calm expression. For a long time, he suddenly said, "Eat first."
Diana Swift was pretending to be fine, but once Josh Hunter said that, her cheeks and neck were rapidly heating up. Wait, what did he mean? What did he mean by eating first? Did she look like she's in a hurry?
Diana Swift opened her mouth to explain, but she really didn't know where to start. Besides, a person couldn't be justified when she had done something guilty. She was a little ashamed and resentful, so she could only bury her face in the bowl and finish the rice in a hurry.
In fact, it's Josh Hunter who was wrong in the final analysis.
In the car, he said that he would make ribs for her, giving her room to think. When he got home, he mutated into a man who was immune from the temptation of a lady, and he even had the mind to do the dishes after dinner, and he even had the mind to open a video conference after doing the dishes!
Diana Swift squatted on the sofa in the cinema and waited for a long time, feeling that her heart was getting old, and her harming thoughts vanished with the passage of time and Josh Hunter's inaction, and then her anger grew slowly.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she got up from the sofa and ran straight into the study barefoot.
In the study, Josh Hunter was making the summary for the conference with Bluetooth headset, when the door was pushed open suddenly. He looked up and heard Diana Swift say angrily, "I'm going to bed!"
-Then she turned around and stomped away.
Josh Hunter smiled shallowly, lowered his eyes again, and continued to summarize on the computer screen, but his speech speed was slightly accelerated. "Manager Li just said in his report that the return on investment of this business is too low, and it is only a matter of time before the space compression ..."
The participants all coincidentally had a myth - Huh? Did I just hear voices? It couldn't be. How could I suddenly hear a female voice in the president's room? It's really strange.
Before they figured out the myth, Josh Hunter's speech had come to an end. "That's it for today. Everyone has worked hard."
Immediately, the screen went dark and the video conference ended.
Josh Hunter took off his headphone and got up, relaxing his neck from side to side.
When he walked to the bedroom door, he found that Diana Swift had locked the door with a grudge. Somehow, he smiled again.
-
Diana Swift went back to the bedroom and hugged the pillow and sat on the bed, waiting for the movement at the door. After waiting for three minutes, a slight sound finally came from the door.
Well, it's not too late.
She kept her ears open and continued to listen, but ten seconds passed, twenty seconds passed, thirty seconds passed ...... she also began to suspect that she had just hallucinated.
It's unreasonable.
How could there be no sound.
She could not hold back and moved the chair blocking the doorway, and quietly opened the door a crack.
The crack opened wider and wider, and finally her whole head was poking out, and the outside was empty with no one in sight.
Ahhhhh! Josh Hunter, the dog man was a real slippery eel! Just now either she hallucinated or he found the room door could not be opened and just gave up! Either way, Josh Hunter must die!!!
Diana Swift was so angry. They had eaten the ribs together. But why was she the only one who was missing? She slammed the door with a bang, and she was still frantically saying: "Since you are so indifferent to small ribs! Then you should never eat it! ! !"
But just as she slammed the door and turned back, she suddenly crashed into a cold embrace.
Her mind went blank, and her heart almost stopped.
After calming down, she was still a little confused and couldn't speak clearly. "How did you ... how did you get in here? I was scared to death. You ..."
She caught a casual glimpse of the open door of the cloakroom behind her, and suddenly thought, did he enlarge the cloakroom for her because he had expected this day?
Josh Hunter never talked much about this matter. He only chuckled, and when Diana Swift asked a hundred thousand why, he had already pressed the woman in his arms to the wall, propped one hand on her ear, put one hand around her, and then blocked her voice.
The lights in the room had always been bright, and Diana Swift repeatedly tried to reach out and turn them off, but her hands were short, so she didn't turn them off. Instead, she turned on the lights that weren't turned on at random, and then Josh Hunter stopped giving her the chance to turn them off, and easily changed a position.
Diana Swift ran away from home this time for a long time, and Josh Hunter correspondingly didn't have sex for such a long time. Although it couldn't be compared with the two years in Australia, he didn't know why his endurance seemed to be gradually decreasing with age.
Late at night, it began to snow in Moonshadow Lake again. The snow seemed to be thicker than the daytime. The falling snow was mixed with the sound of bathroom water, and it was a little indistinguishable for a while.
Gloomily, Diana Swift sat in the bath with her back to Josh Hunter, and kept urging him to brush his teeth. After that, she fanned her hands and covered her face with both hands. She hated herself very much for not learning the kung fu of holding her breath underwater when she was a child.
Josh Hunter leaned against the washstand, and the collar of his white shirt that he casually put on was messy, and the buttons were buckled in the wrong position.
He lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of Diana Swift. He smiled silently and his eyes darkened with unknown meaning. He slowly brushed his lower lip with his thumb's fingertips. As if he were wanting more, his forefinger's fingertips wiped back from the other side.
