After the Break, I Resisted His Allure

When I finished shopping at the supermarket downstairs and walked to the door, I met Mia who happened to come in. She greeted me warmly and said that she had just moved here and came to buy some necessities.

Knowing that she was suppressing her eagerness to show off, I invited her to visit my home when she had time, and she immediately agreed to come after she finished cleaning up her house.

I looked at her back and stood at the door for a while to enjoy the cool breeze.

When I was checking out just now, through the glass of the supermarket, I saw her standing outside the door, looking at me. She started walking towards me only when I finished paying. It was not hard to guess her purpose. She was still too young.

Kevin was at home with Kathy, but he kept glancing at his cell phone. As soon as I entered the door, he got up and put on his shoes.

"Katherine, stay with Kathy. I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."

I didn't say anything but just watched him close the door silently. I said in my heart, "Kevin, your excuse is poor. You have already quit smoking long ago."

I waited until Kevin came back with cigarettes at eleven o'clock.

Apart from telling him to take medicine, I didn't ask or say anything.

The moment I closed the bedroom door, I heard him let out a long sigh of relief.

I took Kathy to see Maria. Maria had just retired and was no longer under pressure from teaching. She was gentle and dignified. Seeing that I dressed Kathy too little, she scolded me like a mother and then took Kathy to buy clothes.

I followed behind her and listened to her.

I proposed to buy a house in her name. She was stunned for a moment and just looked at me as if she wanted to see through my mind. I let her look at me and I smiled apologetically. Her eyes reddened and she agreed.

The house issue was settled very quickly. I told Kevin that Maria was the person who helped me the most, so I wanted to repay her. It happened that she wanted to buy a house but didn't have enough money, so I wanted to help her. Kevin agreed.

I took out all the money I had, and Kevin gave me some more, and the house was soon brought.
