My Wonder Mom’s Versatility

"Zoe, do you like me?"

All of a sudden, he grabbed my neck. I was overwhelmed.

Henry actually asked me if I liked him?

Before I could respond, he grabbed me by the waist.

I was like a salted fish on a chopping block.

He was in control of me.

But the remaining rationality in my mind told me that he was my...

I cannot let him know that I like him!

Woo woo woo...

Damn it...

His pleasant voice entered my ears again.

"I guess not. Or you won't be thinking for so long."

He tucked my messy hair behind my ears.

"Zoe, what kind of man do you like?"

I was speechless.

I like men like him.

I was drunk. And I didn't know if I said that.

My brain and body were both out of control.

But what was he doing to me?

The moon was hanging high up in the sky, and the sound of raindrops hitting the green plants came from outside the window.

I thought I heard my mother's voice.

…

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

I went downstairs and saw my mother drinking coffee in the living room. Henry wasn't around.

I walked to her and sat down, calling in a soft voice, "Mom."

She put down the cup and looked at me. "Oh, let me look at you."

"You look good. Henry has taken good care of you recently."

When I heard my mother mention Henry's name, I felt a little guilty and did not dare to look her in the eye.

I couldn't help but touch my neck. I applied some concealer. Mom shouldn't have noticed anything.

Fortunately, my mother's attention was not on me. Instead, she showed me the gifts.

It was two blue neckties.

"This one is for you. And this one is for Henry. Bring it to him."

I couldn't help but think that Henry and I were walking on the street in couple's clothes...

No way!

What was I thinking?

Later, I saw Henry in the garden.

He was in a white shirt and leather overalls, watering the lawn with a water pipe.

The autumn sun was not as dazzling as it was in summer. But it was warm.

Under the sunlight, the water droplets all over the sky formed brilliant rainbows.

I could hear my heart thumping.

I turned around and ran away and asked the maid to hand the gift to him.

I drove my Beetle away from home without bringing any luggage.

...

After hiding for a few days, Henry came to my apartment.

Looking at him standing at the door, I put the chicken wing behind my back.

I was not sure if I wanted to share my chicken with him.

Mom would never allow me to eat fast food at home.

I stumbled and asked him, "What are you ding here?"

He walked straight in and carried me to the porch with one hand.

Then he locked the door and asked, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"

I looked down at my bare feet.

I immediately went to the door just now, so I forgot.

I sat on the cabinet and shook my feet.

He helped me get my slippers, squatted down, and pulled my feet over to put them on.

His palm was warm, and my cold feet suddenly warmed up.
