But she didn’t lie back down; instead, she stood up.
"I’ll walk you to the doorway," Jane Sampson said as she slipped on her slippers.
Jas Black was quite surprised and gave Jane an extra glance or two. This woman, who had always snickered under the quilt at the ntion of him returning to the guard team, was actually offering to see him off early in the morning?
It was truly, exceedingly unexpected.
Seeing that Jane wasn’t just talking, Jas Black curved the corners of his mouth, feeling inexplicably pleased, and then led Jane by the hand out of the bedroom.
For the first ti, Jas Black deliberately slowed his pace. It was only a short distance from the bedroom to the gate entrance, but he indulged Jane’s just-awoken, groggy state and walked at a snail’s pace.
As Jas Black sized up Jane, he thought to himself.
What Alexander Forest said at the auction event that day was indeed true.
Won need direct expressions of affection.
Ever since he uttered that one sentence, even the treatnt when returning to the guard team was different.
Jas Black held Jane’s soft and warm hand up to the main gate before letting go to bend down and change shoes. Jane didn’t imdiately turn back to the bedroom; instead, she stood by and watched Jas Black.
"I’m leaving," said Jas Black as he straightened up after putting on his shoes, turning his head to speak to Jane, who had been watching him all this while.
"Mhm," Jane gently nodded in response.
Only then did Jas Black turn to step outside and open the door, but when he tried to step out, he realized he couldn’t move.
Jane, unbeknownst to him, had stealthily reached out and was quietly tugging at the corner of his clothes. When he turned back, her eyes, brimming with tears, blinked at him, softening his heart.
"How about one more hug?" Jane whispered to Jas Black, her voice soft and coaxing. After speaking, she playfully shook the arm that was tugging at the corner of Jas Black’s clothes, "Just for a little mont."
Jas Black couldn’t help but smile, uttered an "Mhm," lifted his right arm, took a couple of steps back, and embraced Jane, who was still in her pajamas.
The mont before, in Jane’s eyes, he clearly saw his own reflection.
In those clear eyes, they held only his image as well.
Jane buried her face in Jas Black’s arms, and because she was wary of touching his left hand, she dared not make any big movents.
So, she just stayed quietly in Jas Black’s arms in the entryway of their ho, and after nearly one minute, she suddenly asked, "So, will you be back for Valentine’s Day?"
Before Jas Black could respond, Jane hastily added, "Jas Black, would you please co back? Although I haven’t prepared a gift for you, I can make a whole table of dishes you love."
"You don’t want to go?" Jas Black asked, his voice filled with laughter.
"A little," Jane responded in a muffled voice, "Recently, you’ve been with every day, and suddenly you’re not here; truly, it will take so getting used to."
She claid it was just a little, yet she held him tighter and tighter.
Heh, truly saying one thing but aning another.
"You want to co back and keep you company?" The mirth in Jas Black’s tone was increasingly difficult to hide.
"I miss you a little," Jane said, then sneakily looked up at Jas Black, not expecting to et his teasing gaze.
She pouted and corrected herself, "Okay, I miss you a bit."
"The epito of saying one thing but aning another," Jas Black teased, tapping Jane’s nose lightly before nodding, "That evening, have dinner ready and wait for to co back."
Jane was stunned for a few seconds, then a smile blossod on her face, "Roger that! Orders received, Lord Chief!"
