Chapter 765
"No me abandonas asi, hando s de ti, ven y devuelveme al fin, sonrisa que se fue, una vez
mas, tocar tu piel, e hondo suspirar, recuperemos Io que se ha perido..."
Her gentle and mellow voice resonated in the living room, singing the song in her unique tone.
Although Vincent could not understand the lyrics, he closed his eyes and listened on, tempted by
her pleasant voice.
After she finished singing, she looked carefully at the man on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief
when she found that he sat there with his eyes closed, assuming that he was asleep.
Just as she was about to return to her room, he suddenly said, "Whatnguage is it?"
"Aren''t you asleep?" Seeing that he was still closing his eyes, ine stated, "It''s Tasnili."
Only then did he open his eyes and say, sounding a little surprised, "You can speak Tasnili?"
She was from Cresthill. How could she know how to speak Tasnili?
A little embarrassed, ine exined, "I learned it myself by listening to music. Before I worked
here, my former employer taught me Tasnili. I''m not
very fluent though."
Vincent''s eyes were fixed on her.
"Uh, aren''t you sleepy?"
Shaking his head, he uttered, "Go on."
Alright then.
The only thing she could do now was to sing since she suggested the idea.
She took turns singing Tasnili and Estrian songs, one after another. In the end, she started to yawn
out of exhaustion but Howard was still looking at her without any sign of sleepiness, so she spruced
herself up and sang.
She couldn''t just leave him here and go to sleep.
"Near, far, wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go on..."
Eventually, her voice was getting lower and lower until there was no more sound.
Before Vincent could open his eyes, he felt his leg tighten. Frowning, he opened his eyes and
looked in ine''s direction.
It was not known when did she fall asleep. Resting her head on his legs with her mouth wide open,
she even started to drool.
As Vincent wanted to pull back his leg, he suddenly startled her that she wiggled towards him like a
sleepy cat, then curled up in his arms and stopped moving.
Vincent froze and blinked speechlessly.
A germophobe like him thought about pushing her away without mercy.
Instead...
He raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, in case she fell down.
Lowering his head, he stared at the sleeping woman for a long time before withdrawing his gaze.
The next day, when ine woke up and found herself lying in the bedroom, she was stunned as
she remembered what had happenedst night.
She remembered singing songs to help Howard to sleep, but she seemed to fall asleep herself
instead.
If she was not mistaken, she had fallen asleep on the sofast night.
Why was she in the bedroom this morning?
Did Howard carry her in?
Surprised, she got up to check herself and found that she was still wearing the same clothes asst
night.
"ine, what are you thinking about? Dr. Perkins is
a gentleman." She patted her face, got up, and went to wash up.
There was no one in the living room when she went out of the room, and she muttered, "Did he
leave for work already?"
Shrugging indifferently, she was going to the kitchen when she heard some noise in the bedroom.
She took a peek and realized that Howard was sleeping in bed.
Upon seeing the sight, she smiled and thought that he must be catching up on his sleep since he
didn''t sleep wellst night.
Therefore, she didn''t bother him. Closing his bedroom door, she tiptoed out to buy ingredients for
lunch and dinner.
The vegetables sold in the shopping mall were not as fresh as the market, so she would rather go a
little further to buy vegetables.
By this time, the vendors in the market had already gotten familiar with her. They were very friendly
to her and would give her some freebies asionally.
Today, she was about to go back as usual after buying vegetables when someone appeared in front
of her and blocked her way. "ine!"
Surprised, ine blurted, "Paul?"
"Yup!"
It was Paul Jacob, her younger brother.
Amazed, she asked, "Why are you here?"
"Well, it''s a long story." Paul took her hand while covering his growling stomach. "I''m starving. Hurry,
let''s eat first!"
Without thinking, she said with a smile, "Alright. Let''s eat."
He took the basket from her hand. "Are you out for some shopping?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Mom said that you''re working as a maid for a rich family, but why do you still buy vegetables at this
ce? The food here is so cheap. Will the rich people eat it?"
Amused, ine uttered, "The vegetables are all the same everywhere."
"Show me your workce. You live in the rich family''s house, right? Take me to see it. I want to see
how big the house is."
ine frowned slightly. "You know that it''s where I work, so how can you go? Let''s go for breakfast."
Despite his upset pouting, he said reluctantly, "Alright then."
When ine took him to a small restaurant, he pouted even more. "What''s this ce? It''s so lousy."
"What''s with all the whining and whatnot?" ine nced at him, teasing, "Do you want to eat, or
starve?"
Paul immediately changed his attitude. "Eat, of course, as long as you cover the bill."
After Paul finished eating, she asked, "Why are you here? Why didn''t you tell me before you came?
Did Mom and Dad know that you''re here?"
"Of course. They gave me your address. I followed you all the way to the market this morning but
you didn''t even notice me."
She frowned. "Why do youe here?"
"Sightseeing." Paul lowered his head and ate. "Mmm, this is so delicious. Order one more for me.
ncing at him without saying anything, ine called the waiter over and ordered the same dishes.
During the meal, Howard called and asked why she didn''te back yet, to which she made up an
excuse and ended the call.
After Paul was done eating, he asked, "It''s that your rich boss?"
"Are you done? Do you need more?"
"Nope. I''m full!"
"You said you came yesterday. Where did you sleepst night?"
"A small inn."
"Let''s go then. I''ll send you back." She went to pay the bill and asked aftering out of the
restaurant, "Where''s your little inn?"
Yet, Paul pouted again. "I don''t want to stay there anymore. It''s a waste of money and it''s filthy
there. Just let me crash at your workce. I''ll go back in a few days'' time, so it won''t make a
difference."

Without hesitation, she refused, "Don''t you even think about it!"
"Why?"
"That''s not my house, so you can''t go there. Period!" ine dragged him away and asked him to
lead the way to the inn. Then, she gave him a hundred dors before leaving. "Take this, and go
find something to eat if you''re hungry. I need to get back to work now. I''ll see you tonight."
After that, she left.
Clutching the hundred-dor note in his hands, Paul pouted in disdain.
