This is Tong Tong, someone he knows deeply, cherishes, feels sorry for, and has made up his mind to hold onto.
Daniel Davis casually thought for a moment, and his hand on Tong Tong’s back instinctively moved downwards, landing on her waist, kneading it.
Tong Tong had no way to retreat, unable to avoid it.
Especially—
She was somewhat annoyed with this version of Daniel Davis, which was so different from his usual gentlemanly demeanor, making it hard for her to accept.
Yet, she had no choice but to accept it.
Daniel Davis was obviously angry.
They were a couple now; him wanting to kiss her seemed normal.
Tong Tong gripped the cabinet behind her, enduring it, closing her eyes, forcing herself not to evade any further,
But—
"Brother Davis." Tong Tong suddenly turned her head and called out, pulling him back to reality.
Daniel Davis stopped.
Tong Tong looked at him with a flushed face, biting her lip and shaking her head,
Daniel Davis’s intentions truly left her at a loss, and they weren’t even married—how could this be okay?
Her lips were still a bit sore; she lowered her head and said, "I’m sorry, I can’t do this before marriage."
Daniel Davis chuckled and pulled her into his embrace.
Tong Tong was nervous, but she then heard his gentle voice, "I know, I was too eager. I’m glad you responded to me, a bit impulsive, don’t be nervous, I can wait."
"Okay." Tong Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
Daniel Davis lifted her chin, looking at her flushed face, and said softly, "You look beautiful today."
Tong Tong pursed her lips and smiled without speaking.
Daniel Davis glanced at his watch, patted her face, "Get some rest early, I’ll head back now."
"I’ll see you off," Tong Tong hurriedly said.
She saw Daniel Davis to the door, watched him leave, and turned back home.
Feeling relieved.
As she walked to her room, she took off the headband that felt like a tight curse and unraveled her bun, temporarily liberating her hair that had been constrained all day. By the time she entered the room, even the zipper on the side of her dress was undone.
She had strong endurance, yet in relationships, she always seemed unable to take decisive actions, habitually accommodating and retreating.
Brother Davis?
Tong Tong thought randomly, feeling that Daniel Davis was quite suitable for her.
He was assertive, shrewd, measured in advance and retreat, occasionally making her uneasy, but he generally knew where to draw the line.
He was an adult, much more mature in mind than her.
She really understood.
Tong Tong took off her dress and entered the bathroom; soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.
Meanwhile—
Daniel Davis answered a call while driving.
The woman on the other end spoke softly, "Did you go on a business trip? You haven’t visited this week."
"Are you home?" Daniel Davis asked directly.
"Yes."
"I’ll head over now."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
