What did it mean that they held hands like this?
Martha wanted to ask, but she couldn’t ask anything.
Douglas knew she was struggling again.
Feeling a little helpless in his heart, Douglas still didn’t say anything, but just led Martha out the door.
Martha curled her lips, happy that Douglas hadn’t let go.
The two just went out together, and for a moment, Martha felt like they were a married couple.
At this moment, it was already very late.
After they went out, under the quiet night, there were only the two of them, as if they could hear each other’s breathing clearly.
Martha had been quietly looking at their long and short shadows, and she can’t hide her happiness in her heart.
Douglas didn’t speak either, but just led Martha forward like this.
Martha noticed that Douglas’ pace today was very, very slow, as if he was matching her pace and taking into account her mood.
After being by Douglas’ side for seven years, Martha knew very well that Douglas was not such a considerate person, and most of the time, he was very willful.
His pace of walking was even faster than others can imagine.
Because of Douglas, Martha had developed good skills. No matter how fast she walked, her posture was very perfect, and people can’t see any gaffes at all.
Therefore, Douglas’s slow pace at the moment, in Martha’s view, was quite novel.
Martha looked up at Douglas. From her position, she could only see his side face, but even the side face had fascinated her very much.
Douglas could feel Martha’s gaze, and he could also feel how hot her gaze was now, and how uncontrollably restrained she was.
Pursing his lips and smiling, Douglas said, “Looking at me like this, you won’t be afraid to make me think you’re in love with me?”
Martha’s footsteps stopped, and she panicked instantly.
She was about to refute, but she heard Douglas say, “Martha, don’t lie. I know exactly what you are thinking.”
What should she do? She was really panicked.
She was actually very embarrassed to let her admit her thoughts like this.
However, in this situation, even if she denied it, she probably won’t be believed.
Martha lowered her eyes and didn’t speak for a long time.
She couldn’t even raise her eyes to look at Douglas, afraid that if she was not careful, she would no longer be able to hide it.
However, Douglas stood directly in front of her, lifted her chin with his hand, forced her to look at him, and said, “I’m still wrong. You don’t actually like me.”
No matter how she answered, whether she admitted it or not, she was about to face a huge pitfall.
Martha struggled to turn her face away, but Douglas squeezed her jaw even harder.
Douglas said, “Martha, you’ve come to this point. Do you think you can still fool me?”
As Martha heard this, she immediately decided not to care anymore.
She said, “What do you want? It’s nothing more than two results. I know that I don’t want it, so why do I make myself offered?”
When Douglas heard her say that, he immediately laughed angrily.
His eyes fell on Martha’s face, and he didn’t speak for a long time.
He really wanted to know what exactly Martha was thinking.
How could she always say such annoying things?
Douglas was really pissed off by Martha.
He used more force with his fingertips, and Martha let out a pained sound when he squeezed. Her eyes were all red when she looked at Douglas.
Douglas’ heart softened instantly by her pitiful appearance.
He said, “Martha, you have so little confidence in yourself?”
Martha’s eyes were already blurred. At this moment, she couldn’t see Douglas’ expression clearly.
Even hearing his voice, she was buzzing, not sure if the voice she heard was real or not.
Douglas didn’t hear Martha’s answer, so he said, “If you don’t give me a response, I’ll kiss you.”
Martha was taken aback, and hadn’t expected to hear Douglas say that at all.
Just as she was about to respond, she felt a shadow covering her.
Immediately afterwards, there was a soft touch on her lips.
Martha forgot to even breathe.
She widened her eyes, and the water droplets rolled down from her eyes.
Martha’s hand was still held by Douglas. It curled up unconsciously, and the sudden force squeezed the wound on her finger, and it hurt instantly.
She whispered in pain, but Douglas swallowed her voice.
Fortunately, Douglas noticed Martha’s strangeness, and immediately let go of Martha, looking down at her finger.
“What’s wrong? Did it hurt you?” Douglas asked.
There was concern in his voice. And he was already examining Martha’s finger carefully.
Martha finally found her own thoughts, and immediately said, “No, I made it myself.”
Douglas said, “Don’t be so nervous. I won’t bully you.”
Martha immediately retorted, “You were bullying me just now.”
They hadn’t been in the relationship but he kissed her first.
Douglas gave a low laugh and said, “I’ve asked for your opinion.”
The question was asked, but he didn’t wait for her answer, did he?
She frowned instantly, looked at Douglas, and said, “You’re clearly messing around.”
Douglas did not blush because of Martha’s accusation, but said instead, “Don’t you know? Men sometimes play tricks on purpose.”
There was really no way to refute it for Martha.
Douglas’ mouth turned up, and his gaze became a little more gentle.
He looked at Martha, stroking Martha’s lips with his fingertips.
He said, “Do you want to do it again?”
Martha’s reaction this time was very swift. She immediately raised her hand to cover Douglas’ mouth, and said, “Don’t go too far.”
Douglas sneered, took Martha’s hand, and kissed her palm.
He said, “Okay, I will make it up in the future.”
It was a little outrageous. What was going on now?
Martha looked at Douglas and said, “Mr. Torres, who are we doing like this?”
Douglas almost got angry by Martha’s words.
He raised his hand and tapped on Martha’s forehead, saying, “What do you think? Do you think I’m such a dirty and shameless person? Taking advantage of women casually?”
Martha shook her head. She knew this very well that Douglas was not a man who would take advantage of women. Otherwise, over the years, there were so many women coveting him. If he had this idea, he would have sunk into it. How could he wait until now?
What was more, she had been by his side for seven years. If he had this intention, it was impossible for her to stay until now.
However, Martha still couldn’t help asking.
She looked at Douglas and said, “But you didn’t give me a reasonable reason, and you just kissed me like this. You are still bullying me.”
Douglas understood what Martha meant that she wanted an identity and a certainty.
This was inseparable from her carefulness in the past so many years.
Douglas was very distressed.
He held Martha’s hand, kissed it and said, “I said I’ll protect you from now on. They’re not casual words.
Martha, I just ask you, do you want to come to my side?”
Martha understood what he meant.
Her heart was throbbing very much, but because of the past events, she couldn’t believe it at all that what Douglas said to her at this moment was serious.
She looked at Douglas and finally asked, “You really don’t care?”
She thought that no one would not really care about what happened to her.
Douglas didn’t answer the question right away, but raised his hand to caress the top of Martha’s head and said, “Can I hug you?”
Martha was startled, and looked at Douglas suspiciously, not understanding why he asked such a question suddenly.
Douglas was amused by her misty eyes.
He said, “Didn’t you say that I bullied you?”
