Kathy involuntarily turned to look over. It was Jaydon.
The shop was somewhat small. It was hard for the shopkeeper who stood behind the counter to hand
the bouquets to Jaydon. So Kathy took the flowers and wanted to help give it to him.
Today, Jaydon was wearing a white shirt. His straightened clothes were a little loose and his chin was
faintly green with stubble. He looked tired and had probably worked overtime.
He didn't take it. Instead, he scratched his hair and said awkwardly, "It is for you. Kathy, happy
birthday."
Happy birthday?
Kathy was confused for a long time before she remembered that today was her birthday.
This morning, her mother also asked her to return home early to celebrate on WeChat, but she refused
because she had to work overtime.
Kathy withdrew her hand and held the bouquet. She heard the shopkeeper's excited voice, "So it's for
you!"
To Kathy, his simple sentence seemed to imply something else.
After thanking him, she looked down and quickly walked out of the flower shop. She heard that the
rolling door behind her was falling. In an instant, the surroundings became quiet.
Jaydon followed her out without saying anything.
In the hazy night, there were two figures with a bouquet of flowers.
It was a pure feeling, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Kathy stopped and turned around. "Do you work overtime, too?"
"Yes." Jaydon nodded with deep-set eyes in the night.
For a moment, Kathy almost drowned in his eyes.
Even the eyes were so similar.
"Are you hungry?" Kathy blurted out, "Do you want a night feast?"
Jaydon couldn't help but laugh, "Of course, I want to if you can cook."
Kathy paused. She involuntarily nodded when she met Jaydon's sincere gaze.
Jaydon returned to his car and took out a small box, "Cake."
It was a small ice cream cake on dry ice. It might melt in a while.
Jaydon sighed. "Actually, I didn't expect there to be an operation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in
such a hurry."
He seemed to be regretful.
Kathy smiled and said, "Then you didn't expect me to be working overtime, did you?"
Jaydon sat in in the passenger seat in silence and said indifferently, "Men wait for women. It is
courtesy."
Kathy's hand that was holding the steering wheel paused. She glanced at Jaydon whose face was still
carrying a gentle smile.
This man was like a springtime breeze. She felt good every time he was around.
When they arrived at the apartment, Kathy quickly cooked two bowls of egg noodles. They finished
eating them with the cake in no time.
Jaydon knew that how much she could eat, "It's so easy to feed you."
Kathy felt slightly embarrassed. Why did she seem to hear a faint mockery in his words...?
However, Jaydon was only joking.
"Can I stay here tonight? I haven't rested for three days and nights. I might die if I drive." Jaydon said
without exaggeration.
The next day was weekend.
Kathy did not set the alarm clock. It was almost noon when she woke up.
She walked out of the bedroom in a daze and suddenly found a person sitting on the sofa of the living
room. Immediately, all her sleepiness was swept away.
It was a fine day and the living room bathed in sunshine.
Jaydon sat casually on the camel-colored carpet, concentrating on putting flowers into a vase.
It was the bunch that Kathy bought last night, which had many kinds. There were goose-yellow
carnations, red roses and baby's breath. They were not well-trimmed yet but full of vitality.
Jaydon didn't seem to be much of a craftsman, and even worse, he was a bit clumsy.
However, he was patient enough to arrange those flowers one by one into the vase. His back was
covered with a golden yellow glow as the sun shone on him.
It was just like a picture. And his every move would vitalize this picture that should have been still like
an oil painting. Even Kathy, who was around him, felt warm.
After a long while, he finally put the crystal vase in the middle of the coffee table and lazily turned
around. His thin lips curved slightly, revealing a whole row of white teeth, "Good morning, Kathy."
"Good morning." Kathy replied with a faint smile.
Jaydon stood up. The beard on his chin was a little dense and his shirt was wrinkled, which made him
somewhat embarrassed. However, his expression was very relaxed and calm. "I want to talk to you
seriously."
Kathy seemed to know what he wanted to say, so she turned to the kitchen and said, "I'm hungry. Let's
eat first."
"Listen to me. Only a few words." Jaydon firmly stopped her. "I kept watching at you when you slept on
the plane to Europe. I'm thinking that you'll be the only one in my life."
He paused for a moment, then walked over with his long legs and slowly pulled her into his embrace.
His chin rubbed against her head, and he said gently, "Kathy, let's give it a try, shall we?"
Jaydon's embrace was very warm, just like the sunshine at this moment.
However, Kathy stood there quietly and stiffly. The scene of seeing Jaydon in the hospital covered in
blood suddenly flashed through her mind. Because Jaydon wanted to see her, Reece dared to find
someone to almost run him over.
If she was really with this man....
Kathy did not say a word. In the end, Jaydon's voice brought her back to her senses. "If you don't
answer, I will take it as a yes."
Her mind gradually cleared up. Jaydon's voice was very bewitching. Kathy met his gaze. She knew that
how could she resist someone so similar to Joseph?
She knew that what she liked might just be a shadow, but she still wanted to give it a try.
"Alright."
"However, there is one thing I must tell you." She looked at him seriously and said, "You have to protect
yourself, you know?"
"Why?" Jaydon's lips curved even deeper when he saw the tension in her eyes.
"I have a big brother. He is very possessive of me. If he finds out that we are together, he will find a
way to hurt you." Kathy said quietly.
Jaydon wasn't afraid, "Let him bring it on."
"Mr Young...."
"Call me Jaydon, OK?"
"Jaydon." Kathy looked at him seriously, "You have to protect yourself. The car accident you
experienced before was my brother...."
Jaydon raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly subsided.
He did suspect that the accident wasn't an accident, but he didn't pursue it after the police told him that
there wasn't any evidence.
"Who's your brother, Reece?"
Kathy nodded, "Promise me you will protect yourself, then I will give it a try with you."
"Yes, it's a deal." Jaydon raised his little finger at her.
This adorable gesture made her laugh. She hooked his little finger and then they pressed their thumbs
together.
