Chapter 515: Michale Shaw Extra (6) Stolen Kiss, Heartbeat Chaos

Michale Shaw stared at his face, an internal struggle raging within.

Try?

Or not?

What if Tobias Carter suddenly woke up? Seeing himself kissing him, would he think he was a pervert, feeling something for another man?

Michale Shaw also thought he was abnormal.

Actually, he used to despise people like Tobias Carter, with thin arms and legs, prettier than women, with a chaotic private life and numerous female companions. This kind of person, he didn’t want to interact with much, but he had ended up staying here for over a week.

No matter what strange feelings he had, he shouldn’t be so concerned about a man.

Forget it,

might as well try!

He lowered his voice and gently called out twice, “Tobias.”

He seemed to be sleeping soundly, no reaction. Only then did Michale Shaw tentatively reach out, brushing away the stray hair on his face. His hair was finer and softer than he imagined, because it was very short, it fell back after being pushed to one side…

Just barely able to hook it behind his ear.

Michale Shaw leaned in closer, observing carefully, and then noticed.

He has…

ear holes!

These days, it’s not unusual for men to have ear piercings and wear studs. It’s just surprising that someone who looked as cold and reserved as Tobias Carter would have ear piercings, a bit strange.

His earlobes, small and delicate, touched lightly,

soft and warm,

his gaze lowered, landing on his lips. Outside the room, the spring wind howled, making the branches and leaves rustle. In the deep quiet of the night, even the tiniest sounds were amplified, and his mind drifted back to that night, the sensation of his lips on his neck…

His eyes darkened,

his throat suddenly overwhelmed with an inexplicable sense of hunger and restlessness, dry and hot, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.

Just one kiss,

just a light touch, to confirm if that strange feeling really existed.

Michale Shaw had never done anything like this before, his heart pounded in his throat, as he approached, all he could hear was the pounding of his heart. He pressed his lips together tightly, instinctively holding his breath, bending down…

And touching his cheek.

Light as a feather.

A gentle touch, then away.

His face, warm and soft, as soon as he touched it, his blood surged through his veins. Probably because he had just showered, his body was warmer than usual, his throat almost burning, and his palms sweating.

His breath quickened, his chest heaving, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

The rapid heartbeat felt as if it couldn’t supply enough blood, making the air seem thin, like he was weightless.

His mind was foggy, only his heartbeat…

deafening!

He had just showered too, his hair still damp. Holding that position for too long, water droplets slid down his hair, he watched with wide eyes as a drop landed on his face.

His breath hitched, hearing what seemed to be the faint “plop” as the drop fell.

Then Tobias Carter frowned, and he hurriedly straightened up.

“Hmm?” Tobias touched his cheek, the water droplet cool. Squinting, he looked at the person beside him, “Michale Shaw? What are you doing here?”

Every word he said,

hammered in his ears, as if torturing his eardrums. Michale Shaw tensed up, trying to soothe his restless heart, “Passing by, saw you asleep in the study, wanted to call you to sleep back in your room.”

Tobias glanced at his watch, “It’s already past three, did you just shower?”

“I’m going to bed.”

And with that,

Michale Shaw ran away!

Tobias looked completely puzzled, thinking he was acting very oddly.

——

That night, Michale Shaw tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Because he realized, his feelings for Tobias Carter were not ordinary, and to confirm this, he arranged a special gathering the next day, inviting a group of…

men!

Many unfamiliar faces, everyone wanting to get on Michale Shaw’s good side, so many came to toast him, and after a few glasses of alcohol, some inevitably had physical contact while toasting.

Inside Michale Shaw’s heart…

there was no ripple!

He just found a few of the drunks annoying, noisy.

So, that fast beating heart sensation was only for Tobias Carter.

Impossible,

how could he have feelings for a man?

Could it be because he’s been single for too long that he feels something for Tobias Carter?

Maybe interacting more with women would straighten him out.

So Michale Shaw made a call to his father, asking him to arrange a blind date.

“What did you say? A blind date? Are you finally coming around?” His father had often tried to set him up on blind dates. Although he would go, inwardly he resisted, so after meeting once, he would never follow up.

“Just thought I should make more friends.” Michale Shaw didn’t dare say he now had feelings for a man.

His father was very traditional, conservative. If he found out:

he would break his legs!

His life would be over.

On the day Michale Shaw went for the blind date, he told Tobias he was meeting a friend, “I won’t be home tonight, no need to make dinner for me.”

Tobias nodded, “I won’t be home tonight either.”

“Where are you going?”

“Going back to the old house to have dinner with the family.”

Michale Shaw didn’t think much of it. On the date, he just remembered that there seemed to be an old lady in the Carter Family who had four children. It was said that the daughters were all married off, Tobias’s father was the eldest, and Archer Carter was probably the child of his second uncle.

The Carter Family had many children, yet there was never any news of power struggles, quite mysterious and very united.

Before, to get closer to Tobias, he had done some research on the Carter Family.

He didn’t find much, only overheard his grandfather mentioning something secret, like over twenty years ago there was a kidnapping in the Carter Family, a child was taken. The news was tightly sealed, he had only learned about it from some inside sources.

After that, the Carter Family rarely appeared, though whether they had any connections remained unclear.

In any case, their family was quite strange.

Carter Family’s Old House

Tobias had just arrived home when he saw his cousin Archer Carter sitting on the sofa playing with his phone. Seeing him, Archer quickly jumped up and approached. “Michale Shaw is still staying at your place? Hasn’t left yet?”

“Yeah.”

“He has his own home, why is he sticking around yours? Did he sense something and have some inappropriate thoughts about you?”

“Thanks to you, if you hadn’t grabbed his neck and bit him, would I have taken him in?”

“I was drugged.” Archer scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Don’t mention this in front of grandma or our parents.”

“I know.”

“And keep it from uncle and aunt too.”

“Don’t worry.” Archer smiled, “By the way, you two living together, didn’t he notice anything?”

“No.”

“Is he a pig? So oblivious.”

“…”

“But I think Michale Shaw is quite a good person, he’s not arrogant like other rich kids, he’s enthusiastic and honest with people. Being friends with Mr. Hale and Junior President Payne means he’s not a bad person. Plus, you and he, seem to have some fate.”

“A cursed fate.”

“I think you’re quite happy living with him.”

“You must be blind.”

Archer hummed lightly without saying more, as some elders arrived, Elder Mrs. Carter saw him, her steps quickened, she took his hand, calling out, “Tobias, my dear grandson—”

“Grandma, I’m your dear grandson too.” Archer sought attention.

“Who are you?” The old lady looked him over, seemingly not recognizing him, only patting Tobias’s hand. “It’s already seven, why aren’t you going to school?”

It was seven in the evening, Tobias just smiled, “Because it’s a holiday.”

“Is that so, holidays are good, you can spend more time with grandma.”

Tobias nodded in response, but his smile carried a hint of bitterness.

——

Meanwhile, on his blind date, Michale Shaw found himself, unconsciously thinking of Tobias Carter again…

He reached up and slapped his own face!

This is bad,

have I been poisoned! Could it be…

I’m really going to bend.
