My sudden hug made Josh’s body freeze. A momentter, I heard him ask in a low voice, “Pity me?”

    “My heart aches for you!” I corrected him.

    Josh didn’t say anything else or hug me back, which made me quite embarrassed.

    Just as I was about to let go of him, I suddenly looked up and saw Alvin standing not far

    away.

    ‘Alvin is also here today? But Myra didn’t tell me,‘ I thought.

    I wanted to let go of Josh’s hand, but I gripped it again. Then Josh wanted to pull me away.

    I tightened my grip on his hand and said, “Don’t movei./i”

    He didn’t move again. I just hugged him and continued, “Are you still working overtime today?”

    Josh said, “What?”

    I tiptoed and stuck close to his ear. “I want to eat the food you cook.”

    The sound of Josh’s Adam’s apple bobbing echoed in my ear, and he said, “Okay.”

    I felt my body tremble. My eyes couldn’t help but sh in the direction of Alvin.

    Alvin’s figure was under my flickering gaze. His hands were clenched into the fists. His face turned from ashen to dark, and his eyes dimmed. Then he walked away.

    I also let go of Josh. As I was about to lower my head and say something, Myra’s voice came

    from afar. “Hi, Mr. Dolton!”

    Josh turned around and saw Alvin’s back. Then, he looked at me.

    I didn’t dare to look into his eyes at that moment.

    I knew he must have taken my previous intimacy as a performance for Alvin to see.

    I thought, ‘I do mean that, though. So, I can’t exin, and there’s no need to.’

    Myra ran over, panting. “Mr. Hayward, the lights in Groups 7-3 in Area C were identally damaged by the worker installing the amusement equipment just now.”

    On the construction site, the idents were both the most feared and the most frequent

    urrences.

    Josh’s expression did not change. He said, “Let’s go over and take a look.”

    As he spoke, he walked away as if he had forgotten about me. I stood there, not knowing

    whether to follow him or not.

    Recalling my childish behavior just now, I lowered my eyes and was about to let out a sigh of relief. Then I suddenly heard Josh’s voice. “Aren’t youing along?”

    I met his eyes and saw they were clear as if nothing had happened.

    Josh was an expert at controlling his emotions and hiding them. He was angry just now, but

    I couldn’t tell in just a few seconds.

    “Zoe,e and take a look. There’s quite a lot of damage. How annoying,” Myra also called

    me, not forgetting toin.

    Although I was no longer working there, I still cared about everything there. I quickly

    followed them.

    I did not know if I was walking in a hurry or tripping over something, I staggered and fell

    forward.

    Josh reached out. I grabbed him and fell into his arms.

    Everything was so smooth as if we were filming a television drama. Myra, watching aside,

    widened her eyes and covered her mouth. Then, she narrowed her eyes and snickered…

    I would have been embarrassed and awkward in the past, but now I wasn’t.

    Instead, I naturally moved away from Josh’s arms and said to him, “Thank you.”

    Josh did not say anything. He walked forward. Myra came over and hooked her arm around mine. She said sneakily, “Zoe, look. Mr. Hayward’s ears are red.”

    I hadn’t noticed that. I looked over when Myra said so. Sure enough, they were red.

    I thought, Josh is a tough guy, but his ears are actually red… He is cute.‘

    “Zoe, Mr. Hayward is so pure. His ears turn red just by hugging you,” Myra whispered.

    “Do you have anything else in your head?” I said, pushing her away.

    Myra nodded. “Yes. It contains our amusement park and these beautiful lights.”

    Then she giggled and hugged me even tighter. ” And you.”

    Her little mouth was good at coaxing people.
