Chapter 1605
Ernest really felt the happiness of being a man. It was a feeling of pure ecstasy that oozed deep into
every fiber of his being, making him want to stay there forever. He wanted to continue staying
intoxicated in such a blissful state and never wake up.
He thought that it felt extremely wonderful.
Every jolt of feeling was raw and intimate, filling him with an infinite amount of love for her.
The deeper he ventured, the more he did not want to leave. The more he did not want to leave, the
deeper he went. That overwhelming feeling made him lose all control of his emotions and his
rational self.
He never knew it could feel so good.
Every moment of their time entangled with each other, every second spent together, etched itself
deep into his memory.
Of course, as they went on, Leah''s injuries naturally worsened.
However, she was not bothered about it at all.
Ernest was filled with regret and sadness. He hugged Leah and helped her tend to them, but they
continued after that.
During the past two days, Leah''s wounds did not get a chance to heal. But still, she was as happy
as ark.
In the end, after spending three busy days with Ernest, her period arrived.
Its arrival signaled the end of their bedroom activities.
Their body and health were of utmost importance after all.
Luckily, Leah hadpletely recovered from her cold by then.
It has been said that frequent exercise could produce lots of dopamine to improve one''s mood and
immune system.
And the two of them had produced an abundant amount of dopamine over the past few days.
After taking care of Leah for another two days, Ernest finally received a call from his professor,
urging him to return and continue his studies.
Since it was also high time that he did so, Ernest had no choice but to go back to Ennd.
When he saw Leah''s little face, he could not bear to tell her that he was leaving.
However, the intelligent Leah was quick to notice that he was acting strangely and asked, "You''re
leaving, aren''t you?"
Ernest nodded. "My professor just called me and asked me to leave immediately. I have to do my
thesis defense too, so I have to go."
He really could not bear to tell her that, nor was he ready to part with her.
Leah was stunned for a moment, but she quickly smiled and did not show much disappointment.
Instead, she responded rather generously, "Then hurry up and book a flight. You should book one
and leave by tonight. I''ll send you off."
"I was going to book for tonight, but you don''t have to send me off. It''s not safe for you to be out
alone at night," Ernest lowered his head and kissed Leah, very reluctant to leave.
Leah paused, thinking for a while. After deciding that she should not let him worry, she agreed
obediently. "All right then. I won''t send you off at the airport. You''re right; safetyes first."
"Good girl," Ernest said. He was d that Leah was indeed someone sensible.
They hugged, and Ernest continued to kiss her for quite a while. He was really hesitant to leave.
In the end, he still had to part with her. "Leah, I have to go pack my things now. I''ll book a ticket and
then head straight to the airport from home."
Although Leah was a little sad that she could not see him off at the airport, she did not express it.
When she heard that he was going to leave just like that, her lips quivered. She could not help but
hug his waist, burying her face in his chest.
She said in a muffled voice, "Okay, you can go. Don''t worry about me. I''ll take good care of Grace.
You need to take good care of yourself too."
Ernest nodded silently as he embraced Leah. He could not bear to let her go, as if it was theirst
time meeting.
They clung to each other, wanting to cherish every second they had together.
Leah raised her head. It was time to say goodbye. "All right, hurry up and go home. You''ve been
staying here for so many days that your parents are probably worried. Go back and say goodbye to
them."
Ernest shook his head at once, grinning. "Don''t worry. Mom is happy that I''m taking care of a girl.
Didn''t you notice? She hasn''t even called me once?"
His expression made Leahugh. "Your mother is really something else."
"She is. She really wants us to be in a rtionship. My brother and Celeste have already returned to
Ennd, but Mom isn''t in a hurry to chase me back there." "Your mom and dad are really open-
minded," Leah said with a sigh, a little envious that he had such great parents.
"Indeed. Especially Mom. She keeps telling me that she can''t wait to have grandchildren." Ernest
smiled as he packed up his things.
After giving Leah a long, fierce kiss at the door, Earnest left reluctantly.
After he was gone, Leah was the only one left at her home. She felt that her small apartment
suddenly felt exceptionally empty.
The past few days that they had spent together had been particrly beautiful and unforgettable.
Now that he had left, the chilly weather made Leah feel rather cold.
Suddenly, she came back to her senses and hurried to the balcony. She stood by the window and
peered out.
After a while, she saw Ernest''s tall figure downstairs in the yard.
When Ernest reached the garden, he turned back and looked up, spotting Leah.
She opened the window and waved at him, a bright smile on her face. There was no need for her to
say anything.
The two of them looked at each other from afar, sharing a bittersweet moment.
Ernest felt his heart melting as he gazed at the angelic- looking woman upstairs. After staring fondly
at each other for a long time, he finally waved and gestured for her to go back into her apartment.
Leah called out softly, "Goodbye."
"I''ll be back during winter break," Ernest promised. Then, he turned around and left.
Leah watched him drive away in his car. After a long while, she finally closed the window.
She knew that she should pull herself together. She needed to get ready to write. She had almost
finished using all the drafts she prepared earlier, and she had to write more. Besides, she had
sses to attend as well.
It was impossible for her to neglect her studies just because of a rtionship. She had not forgotten
that she was a student.
When Ernest returned to the Jones family''s house, he saw his mother alone downstairs.
Surprised at Ernest''s sudden return, Grace teased, "Hey, Ernest, it seems that you had a good time.
Did something good happen, my son? Mind sharing it with me?"
When he saw his mother acting all excited, Ernest hardly knew how to respond. He finally said,
"Thanks to you, I''m officially dating the woman I like."
"Oh, that''s wonderful! Congrattions! When will you bring her over?"
"Let''s talk about that during my winter break. I''m going back to Ennd tonight as they wanted me
back as soon as possible. I''ll be leaving for the airport shortly."
"You''re leaving so soon?" Grace frowned. "What''s so urgent about your studies? Besides, you and
your brother are both straight- A students, so dying your return slightly won''t be a big deal. The
most important thing to do now is to show that you''remitted to your rtionship. If you leave so
suddenly, she might want to break up with you. What will you do then?"
"Mom, you worry too much." Ernest shook his head and said, "She''s not that kind of girl."
"Don''t be too confident. A long- distance rtionship is very fragile, which is why I''m so worried
about you. Why don''t you finish your master''s degree here instead? Then you can stay here and be
with your girlfriend."

Looking at his mother helplessly, Ernest said, "Mom, all parents hope that their kids will grow up to
be sessful and want their kids to pay more attention to their studies. It''s great that you don''t have
such expectations for me, and I''m honored to have a mother like you, but you don''t have to worry
too much. Some things just can''t be rushed."
"Ernest, other people want their children to be sessful to live a good life. Your father already has
a great career. There''s no way to exhaust his fortune even if you tried to for the rest of your life.
That''s why I don''t want you to put too much pressure on yourself. Getting a girlfriend and a stable
job is enough. Besides, with you and your brother''s abilities, I really don''t think it''ll be a problem for
you, even if you don''t have a master''s degree. What I''m worried about is whether you''ll find a good
girlfriend. Having a good girlfriend is something that will bring you happiness for the rest of your
life."
Ernest was amused at his mother''s words, but he suppressed augh. Although what she said left
him speechless, it proved just how open-minded she really was.
"Mom, in order to be worthy of the girl I like, I need to be a better man. As for my postgraduate
studies, I should be able to apply to be an exchange student for a year. However, Leah and I are
have been very rational so far, so you should trust the two of us. She''s a good girl; she believes in
me and understands me." "Wow, she sounds amazing. How about getting married first and letting
her stay at our ce? I''ll take care of her!"
Ernest could tell that his mother was really anxious for him and his brother to get married, but that
was something that should not be rushed.
He looked at his mother and stepped forward to hug her, saying assuringly, "Mom, we shouldn''t get
ahead of ourselves on some things. You''ll only end up scaring her if you do that."
"But I think you''re a very self- disciplined child. Since you''ve chosen her as your girlfriend, it is a
lifetime decision. Why does it matter then if it''s a little early? Besides, I''m worried that other
handsome men might prey on her if you''re not here. At least if she stays with us, I can help you."
"But, I won''t even be at home. Do you think that Leah will want to live rent-free at our ce? She''ll
feel restricted. Although you wouldn''t do anything to make her feel ufortable, she might still
feel like she has to act cautiously. So let''s give her some freedom."
