ire’s expression remained unchanged, but she secretly clenched the knife in her cuff.
There was a sudden snap.
The street lights suddenly went out, and the surroundings plunged into darkness.
Under the moonlight, she stopped abruptly. She turned around, and kicked the person behind her in the lower abdomen. Caught off guard, the person was pushed to the corner by her.
At the same time, the knife was put against his neck.
The de’s edge was shining with a cold glint in the dark night.
“Don’t move!”
ire’s speed was unbelievably fast.
Her action was clean and lethal.
“Who are you? Why are you following me?”
“Your man.”
A deep low chuckle sounded above her head.
“?”
ire raised her head.
It just so happened that the street lights turned on at this moment.
A handsome face broke into her field of vision.
It was Hunter Johnson!
He casually leaned against the corner of the wall. Seemingly trying to match ire’s height, he had one of his long legs slightly bent. He was looking at ire with shining eyes, and a yful smile hovered on his thin lips.
In the moonlight, his long eyshes batted like butterfly wings, and the mole on the corner of his eye was extremely eye-catching.
For some reason, ire remembered the kiss in the alley.
The tips of her ears became a little hot.
She shouted after enduring the shock for a moment. “Are… are you out of your mind?”
Why was he following her at night?!?
“Have you received my present?” The man suddenly asked her.
ire was confused. “What present?”
Hunter narrowed his deep dark eyes. “You didn’t receive any text messages today?”
Text messages!!
Did he mean the dozens of ‘scam messages’ that she received during the day?
ire frowned. “What present did you give me?”
“66 private inds, as your birthday present.” Hunter suddenly reached out to put his arm around ire’s waist and took her into his arms
He asked her with a smile. “Do you like the present? Huh?”
His voice sounded quite cheerful.
ire was so startled that she forgot to push him away. “… You gave me inds as a present?!”
“Yes…”
“66 inds?” ire became vignt. “Why?!”
Hunter chuckled. “Little fool, don’t you understand the meaning of the number 66?”
66…
What was the meaning?
If it was 99, she might be able to understand it.
“What a fool! The meaning of 66 is, of course…” Hunter hugged ire tightly and suddenly turned around.
He pressed her against the corner of the wall. Then he leaned down and his neck almost touched the de. He leaned close to her ear and whispered. “That… wish you all the best…”
“…”
As if being hit in the head, ire was speechless.
Wish you all the best?!
After quite a while, she said coldly, “Take them back. I don’t need them.”
The man raised his eyebrows. “I, Hunter Johnson, will never take back anything I’ve given away.”
Lunatic!
ire finally remembered to struggle. “Let me go.”
At this moment, Hunter suddenly cupped her cheeks with both hands and forced her to look at him.
Looking into her eyes, he said word by word, “Little thing, happy birthday.”
In an instant, ire’s heart pounded hard.
He was the first person who said ‘Happy Birthday’ to her today.
And he was probably the only one.
ire suddenly clenched her hands,pletely at a loss.
“Wait a minute…”
At this moment, Hunter narrowed his eyes, leaned closer and closer to her, and asked her suspiciously. “Why is your face … so red?”
“Go away!” ire suddenly kicked on his knee.
She rushed back to The Smiths’ mansion in a huff. As soon as she entered her bedroom, her phone rang.
The moment the call got through, Gallon shouted at the other end of the line. “Oh, I forgot… ire, happy birthday!”
“Toote. Get lost!”
With a snap, the call was disconnected.
On the other side, Gallon stared at the phone with a dazed expression.
What happened?
Did she eat dynamite? Why was she so grumpy?
After taking a shower, ire hadn’t wiped her hair yet. With a towel on her shoulders, she sat on the bed and turned on her phone.
Then, she removed the number from the cklist.
