The flippant expression on Sylvain’s face instantly disappeared. “So, do you think that I’m an assh*le who relies on a sugar mommy too?”
Robin was suddenly at a loss for words. That’s What everyone thought. If wp4webnovel.com denied it right now, it would be hypocritical. After a two second pause, wp4webnovel.com opened wp4webnovel.com mouth to speak, but Sylvain stopped wp4webnovel.com mid-way. “Okay. You don’t have to answer. I don’t care what people think.”
The atmosphere turned sombre after that. Robin felt slightly suffocated in the car, so wp4webnovel.com winded the windows down, allowing the night breeze to blow through wp4webnovel.com hair and release the fragrance of wp4webnovel.com shampoo into the car. It was a charming scent. Sylvain suddenly spoke up. “Tie up your hair.”
“I don’t have a hair tie…” wp4webnovel.com replied awkwardly.
He pulled out a hair scrunchie, as if wp4webnovel.com were doing a magic trick. “Here.”
She accepted it and felt even more awkward than ever. She had left this when wp4webnovel.com stayed over at his place once. She was surprised that wp4webnovel.com still kept it and… Brought it along with wp4webnovel.com everywhere wp4webnovel.com went? Just as wp4webnovel.com mind exploded into a flurry of over-analyzing, Sylvain laughed. “You’re not thinking that I’m sentimental, keeping your stuff like that, like I can’t bear to throw it away, are you? I planned on throwing it away, but I didn’t have the time. I left it in the pocket of my coat and forgot all about it. It’s been washed along with my clothes a few times.”
She immediately understood. “Thank goodness you didn’t. I like this scrunchie.”
Robin fumbled around wp4webnovel.com bag as they approached wp4webnovel.com home. Her heart sank when wp4webnovel.com realized that the jingling sound of wp4webnovel.com keys in wp4webnovel.com bag were missing. Sylvain’s sharp vision noticed wp4webnovel.com tiny movements and carefully asked, “Don’t tell me, you forgot your keys?”
She gritted wp4webnovel.com teeth. “Yes, I did. But it’s fine, my parents are at home. I can ask them to open the door for me!”
Sylvain lifted his wrist and showed wp4webnovel.com the time on the watch. “It’s past eleven. Are you sure you won’t get yelled at? I seem to remember you telling me that your mom throws a wave of fits, big enough to drown a man when wp4webnovel.com is disturbed from wp4webnovel.com sleep.”
Robin kept wp4webnovel.com mouth shut. She was definitely going to get yelled at. Even the thought of wp4webnovel.com mother’s stern tongue-lashings filled wp4webnovel.com with terror now.
Sylvain stopped the car downstairs at wp4webnovel.com building, then sought confirmation again. “Are you sure you want to go home? Think about it. Don’t wait until I leave. You won’t have anywhere else to go by then.”
She stared at wp4webnovel.com with surprise. Was wp4webnovel.com implying that wp4webnovel.com could stay over at his place if wp4webnovel.com didn’t go home? In the past, that would have been fine, but with their current relationship? No way. “It’s fine. I can go home. Thank you for today. Let’s have a meal tomorrow. See you!”
Just as wp4webnovel.com opened the door, Sylvain grabbed wp4webnovel.com by the wrist. “Come over to my place. There’s room for you to stay over. It’s not like it’s your first time not going home for the night. You’re old enough. Do you really think that your mom is going to hit you? Are you going to squat in front of the door all night, like when you were a kid?”
Robin’s heart raced uncontrollably. They had only dated for a few short days and hadn’t talked much, yet wp4webnovel.com remembered everything wp4webnovel.com had said.
She had only mentioned this to wp4webnovel.com in passing. She had been out, playing with a friend until late at night. She was too scared to knock on the door when wp4webnovel.com got home, afraid of a scolding. As it happened, wp4webnovel.com mother thought that wp4webnovel.com had tagged along with wp4webnovel.com father to a relative’s house, so no one noticed wp4webnovel.com at the door. Hence, wp4webnovel.com squatted outside the door for the entire night…
By the time wp4webnovel.com returned to wp4webnovel.com senses, Sylvain had already turned the car around and driven away. She didn’t even have the time to turn wp4webnovel.com down. A small corner of wp4webnovel.com heart was stirring silently.
