Chapter 28
The air was silent, and it was a long silence.
Diana Swift was stunned, watching the group chat on the screen like Josh Hunter, and even forgot to take back her phone.
Fortunately, after 30 seconds, the phone entered the automatic lock screen state.
Josh Hunter's gaze slowly moved from the screen of the mobile phone to Diana Swift's delicate and dazed face. He seriously looked at the face inch by inch, as if he wanted to study closely what relationship between this beautiful and bright face and the vicious female support.
Diana Swift: I couldn't speak.
After a silent confrontation for a minute, when Diana Swift thought that she was going to die in the car, they finally arrived the hotel.
The moment the car stopped, Diana Swift couldn't even wait for the boy to come over to help open the door, so she got out of the car quickly.
She lowered her head and hurriedly put on her sunglasses, walked quickly to the hotel. Her hands trembled for a while, and she did not forget to open WeChat to clear the group chat messages and honestly changed the group name to "Three Little Fairies".
God testifies that she would never follow the fashion on the Internet to take group names indiscriminately in the future, and she would never make small moves and speak ill of people in person!
God testifies again, Diana is a little canary who loves to enjoy life from the bottom of her heart. It was only for two or three seconds that her dignity prevailed over material things, and the thought of "As long as I never get embarrassed in front of that dog man, I am willing to go out of the house" flashed in her mind.
In order to avoid and alleviate the ultimate embarrassment with Josh Hunter, Diana Swift didn't go back to the room but went straight to the revolving restaurant for dinner.
She estimated the time and quickly flashed to the SPA center before Josh Hunter came over for dinner. After that, she asked for a mini private room of KTV in the hotel and held a two-hour solo concert in it.
It was only when Josh Hunter usually fell asleep that Diana Swift sneaked back to the upstairs suite.
Only the floor lamp was turned on in the room, and the light was slightly dim.
The pillows and quilt that cover on the large bed in the bedroom were neatly laid out and flat.
Where is Josh Hunter? He haven't slept yet?
She put on slippers at the door and quietly entered the study.
There was no one in the study.
She then opened the door to the living room.
The air in the living room seemed to smell like whiskey. Diana Swift followed the smell of wine and walked forward, only to see several empty wine bottles on the coffee table.
Josh Hunter leaned on the sofa, his head slightly tilted up, his eyes closed.
There was a strong smell of alcohol on his body, but the appearance of resting quietly showed no sign of drunkenness.
Diana Swift stepped forward, stretched out a finger and poked his face, and said softly, "Are you asleep?"
No response.
She stood up straight, and while she was slightly relieved, she also wanted to sigh.
In fact, people like them who work and socialize a lot were already a bit physically disgusted by drinking alcohol. If it was not necessary, they would not drink too much on weekdays.
Like her elder uncle and Uncle Edward, when they go home for dinner on weekdays, they don't drink alcohol.
Since drinking so much alcohol today, he should feel very sad.
After standing by the sofa for a while, Diana Swift was very kind again and covered him with a blanket lightly.
But when she was about to leave quietly, Josh Hunter suddenly grabbed her wrist and slowly opened his eyes.
"..." Diana Swift was a little stunned, and after reacting, she quickly explained, "I covered you with a quilt, just a quilt, and I didn't do anything."
She asked again, "You... did you want to go back to bed?"
Josh Hunter didn't answer, but with a little force on his hand, he pulled the woman into his arms.
He hugged Diana Swift, buried himself in her soft hair, took deep and shallow breaths, and closed his eyes again.
Diana Swift didn't know what he was doing. He hugged her so tightly that she had no room to struggle at all, so she could only keep talking around his ear--
"Hey, let me go."
"Don't pretend to be asleep, talk!"
"Are you okay? Don't drink so much if you couldn't drink it. If you want to vomit, say it first, and don't vomit on me."
"...Have enough hugs? My hands were going numb!"
"Don't be noisy, just hug for a while."
Josh Hunter said in a low voice and relaxed a little.
Diana Swift didn't know what's the matter with herself, and she shut her mouth obediently.
There was silence all around. They were very close, their breaths rubbed against their ears, and their heartbeats seemed to be close at hand.
In the dead of night, people like to recall the past.
She remembered when she was in middle school, the junior high school and high school department of their Thornfield School were combined, and she stayed in the same school with Josh Hunter for four years.
She was not a model student in the typical sense and was always criticized for violating school rules and regulations, but in general, her academic performance was not bad, otherwise she would not be able to study in Savan University later.
At that time, at the end of the monthly mid-term exam, the school would publish the honor roll of the grade ranking. After watching her grade' list, she always liked to go to see Josh Hunter's grade's.
But Josh Hunter's grade ranking was basically as stable as his friend Nathan Jones, and the two always switch around first and second.
Once Josh Hunter fell out of the top ten, she was so happy that she ran to the Hunter family after school to grab a meal, and by the way, complained to Julie Hunter, "Maybe it's because of Internet addiction or secretly dating a little girlfriend. Grandma, you must teach him a lesson."
She complained very vigorously, and Julie Hunter followed her and said with a smile, she must torture Josh Hunter when he turned around.
As a result, she only found out when she ran to show off in front of Josh Hunter that he fell out of the top ten because he represented the school to participate in the youth environmental protection forum and missed one of the exams, and her arrogance was instantly extinguished.
Looking back now, when she was studying, she seemed not to expect Josh Hunter good performance.
Later, he graduated and fell in love with Mandy Lee. She was very upset about it, but she didn't know why.
After a long time, she felt that this was a good thing. The scourge should be bundled together like the two of them, packed and thrown into the crematorium and turned into microorganisms to contribute to this beautiful world.
At that time, she never thought that one day she would marry the former "enemy" and hug him so intimately now.
Thinking of this, Diana Swift unconsciously reddened her ears.
Coincidentally, the next second, Josh Hunter kissed her ear.
His breath was warm and wet with alcohol, and his voice was low, like a murmur that was not sober.
"I ask you, if I had nothing left, would you abandon me?"
"...?"
This sudden hypocrisy made Diana Swift quickly wake up from her memory, and she was shocked.
This was so unlike Josh Hunter's style. Even if he was drunk and become a muddy pool, Josh Hunter should murmur something like "There was a high probability that the A-shares would go up quickly at the opening tomorrow", "For the vacancy of funds for a certain project, ask the person in charge think himself".
Diana Swift got goosebumps, but after thinking about it, she felt that maybe Josh Hunter was only solid in front of her. In front of some women, he was actually very affectionate and gentle. He drunk a lot and became hypocritical because he mistaken me?
She felt a little uncomfortable, but in order to avoid hearing more words that made her want to split the body while he was drunk, she emphasized, "Are you asking me? I'm Diana Swift, Diana Swift!"
"Yes, Diana Swift, I'm asking you."
"..."
He was asking her.
Diana Swift's heart stopped for half a beat, and at the same time inexplicably softened more, and even her face began to heat.
She forcibly held back and said stubbornly: "You, what are you dreaming about? You still want me to suffer with you if you don't have anything? Look at your own mouth, if it isn't because you are the young master of the Hunter family, who want to marry you?"
Seeing that Josh Hunter didn't respond, she continued to talk in a low voice, "I'm telling you, it is because I'm kind. How could ordinary women stand your temper? You really deserve to be single for the rest of your life. Be nicer to me. "For example, buy me an aircraft carrier.
Josh Hunter laughed in a low voice, not knowing if he was too drunk to listen or what, he didn't refute her but hugged her tighter.
Everyone in this world would compromise for reality.
When he was a child, his parents privately said that they wouldn't send him away, but in the end they did because they needed the money from the Hunter family to treat Sherry George;
At the beginning, the Hunter family always said that they wanted to keep Toby Hunter, but in the end, it was because the blood in him belongs to the Hunter family, and the meaning of his return was greater than Toby Hunter's stay, so the family sent Toby Hunter away.
Not to mention the Swift family, he already knew that the Swift family had the idea of marriage in private, but because he stepped in, the Swift family thought it would be more beneficial to marry with the Hunter family, so they secretly cut off the original candidate and made Diana Swift marry him.
What family love and hardship? In the end, it's all about choosing between priorities, but they always had to find some high-sounding reasons to excuse themselves, and never admit it.
In the past, he only thought that Diana Swift was superficial, but after getting along with her, he felt that she lived a more sober life than himself.
As far as she could say, she would say it directly.
For what couldn't be said, such as whether the Swift family really loved her so much, she knew better than anyone else in her heart, but she never declares it.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe people would live freer and easier without family love at the first place. Once owned and lost, no matter how many years, it was always difficult to calm down.
If he had nothing, Diana Swift would abandon him. As long as he had money forever, he could tie her to be his company. Thinking about it this way, there was nothing wrong, at least she belonged to him vividly and truly.
-
At two in the morning, the city was silent.
Josh Hunter's hands slowly loosened and he gradually fell asleep.
Diana Swift carefully got out of his arms and laid him flat on the sofa.
After doing all this, Diana Swift was a little tired.
She sat down along the edge of the sofa and looked at Josh Hunter's sleeping face again, her fingers tracing the outline of his eyebrows, gently down.
His skin was cold and white, his eyebrows were sharp, his nose was straight and his lips were thin.
When in the school, there was the clarity and cleanliness of a young man, and when he grew up, there was the calmness and coldness of an adult man. It seemed that no matter how you look at him, you would not get tired.
Well...as long as he doesn't speak.
Diana Swift held her chin and recalled the question he had just asked. For the first time, she found that she also seemed to be longing for some unspoken warmth.
A strange idea suddenly popped into her mind.
If Josh Hunter went bankrupt one day, as long as he was obedient to her, with his face, she might probably... or would be willing to sell bags to support him?
