Chapter 65 Perfume


    Chapter 65 Perfume


    After a few more words, nche ended the call with Erin. As she hung up, she felt a strange


    sensation and looked toward the door. The proud man was there in the doorway.


    nche''s limpid eyes swiveled as she wondered when he had returned.


    Thinking back to the photo she had sent him, the call she had made, and the overly dramatic way


    she had described her miserable experience, she felt a sudden chill.


    It was so embarrassing that she wanted to hide.


    "You''re back," she said.


    "Yeah," Louis responded in a low voice.

    He had been standing at the door for a while. His eyes were gloomy, and his hands clenched on his


    sides.


    nche smiled awkwardly. Her cheek, neck, and knees had been bandaged, and she was dressed


    in a white nightgown, which made her look like a pr bear.


    He had never owed a woman anything in his life, but today was an exception.


    Even at the time, he had no intention of letting nche put on his clothes to save him. He had been


    against it.


    But from the moment nche entered their house, she did as she pleased. Who could control her?


    Strangely, the infamous woman didn''t ask him for credit.


    And now he even saw in her innocence and purity, a stark contrast to her usual fierce demeanor.


    Seeing the gloom in Louis'' eyes growing, nche didn''t know what he was thinking. She just


    looked away.


    Seeing the card on the table, she felt a pang in her heart. The money she had wasted at the


    restaurant... It was infuriating.


    The corner of her mouth twitched. If only she were awyer, she could have gotten the money back


    through legal means.


    Or if she were a police officer, she could shut down the restaurant for its unreasonable charges.


    Noticing nche mumbling to herself, Louis couldn''t hear clearly and felt restless. He turned and


    went downstairs to his study.


    After finishing his work, Louisy back in his chair, feeling stifled. He wasn''t used to owing people,


    and this time he owed a lot.


    Thinking of how Daniel appeased his girlfriends with appropriate gifts, he narrowed his eyes, picked


    up his phone, and called a high-end perfume store.


    "I''d like to order a perfume."


    Late at night, Louis went upstairs. As usual, nche was already asleep, wrapped in her nket.


    The light was still on, and he was about to turn it off when he found the woman wasn''t sleeping


    peacefully.


    She was humming something in her sleep. Louis walked over curiously and saw moisture around


    her eyes.


    "Grandma, don''t go," she murmured. "You can''t take my grandma away. I''ll save her."


    nche was having a nightmare, dreaming that her grandmother was seriously ill and dying.


    Her hand waved in the air, her frail body struggling against the demon who was trying to take her


    grandmother away.


    "Grandma, you can''t leave me behind. You''re the closest person to me..."


    Louis'' eyes darkened. The sight of nche in this state stirred a strong protective instinct in him.


    ...


    The next morning, nche found a bottle of bright red perfume on her desk, from an international


    brand.


    Louis, with his straightforward masculinity, deemed the perfume to be pleasantly scented.


    nche was stunned. She picked up the delicate bottle and studied it. How did a bottle of perfume


    suddenly appear on her desk? The liquid was bright and looked romantic.


    She had never bought this perfume before. Out of curiosity, she sprayed a little on her wrist and


    sniffed it. It was a gentle and light scent.


    "It smells so good," she eximed, her eyes sparkling. Why hadn''t she bought this perfume before?


    Just as nche was enjoying the scent, Louis suddenly came upstairs to collect his clothes.


    Hearing his footsteps, nche tensed up and quickly put the perfume bottle back on the desk.


    She was at a loss as to whose perfume it was. If it turned out to be Louis''s, she felt like a greedy


    woman caught chasing the scent, red-handed. The embarrassment was simply overwhelming.


    Louis was startled by nche''s frantic movements. At first, he didn''t pay attention to what she was


    doing. It was only when she hurriedly put down the perfume bottle that he realized she had used the


    perfume he had given her.


    It felt good to have a gift for a girl opened and used for the first time.


    nche felt an intense wave of guilt wash over her as she noticed Louis gazing at her with an


    inscrutable expression.


    She pinched her throat and said, "Ahem, haven''t you gone to work yet?"


    nche looked at the perfume, now back in its ce, but the air was still filled with its elegant


    scent. She pped her forehead in frustration, feeling as though she was trying to hide a theft that


    had already beenmitted.


    But what was done was done. The perfume was probably Louis'', and she didn''t think it was bought


    for her, so she decided to admit that she had used his perfume.


    But Louis spoke first.


    "I''ll head off after packing some clothes."


    He walked straight to the wardrobe, took out two sets of clothes, and quickly left the bedroom.


    Only then did nche raise her eyebrows slowly. What was he packing clothes for? Was he going


    on a business trip?
