Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1279

Yvette was probably genuinely exhausted; Willy heard her even breathing in no time, and they went right inside after Lauren tucked the jacket.

Returning to Yvette's bedroom, Lauren got the bed ready, then took Yvette's pajamas out and placed the plushies she usually hugged as she slept on the inner side of the bed. After all that was done, she turned around only to see Willy stood motionlessly with Yvette in his arms, his gaze fixed on the little one as a faint smile hung on his face, looking as though he had won a billion-dollar lottery, not daring to smile despite the desire, a little like a buffoon.

With that, she swallowed her words and turned around, pretending to sort the bookshelf next to the bed.

She wasn't sure how much time had passed but seeing he was still carrying Yvette like a buffoon when she turned around, she rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Looking over, Willy shook his head solemnly. To be honest, he long couldn't feel his arms anymore, but an indescribable sense of happiness enveloped him entirely right then.

Lauren was confident he could really just stand there the whole night if she said nothing.

Looking at him, for the first time, she thought he was actually quite adorable!

She slowly moved to him and carefully took his jacket off Yvette, saying, "Go put her down. She won't be able to sleep comfortably in this position..."

Hearing that, he strode to the bed but turned a few times, all thumbs, clearly unsure how and where to put her down.

She went forward and slowly moved Yvette's arms away from Willy's neck, helping him put her down on the bed little by little. Seeing that she was sound asleep, Lauren decided not to change her but unbuttoned her jacket and slowly removed it so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Willy didn't dare blink the entire time, latching his gaze at the two ladies in front of him as though they were his whole world.

After tucking Yvette in, Lauren got up and nearly crashed into him, bumping into his chin, reflexively crying out as she rubbed her forehead.

"Ouch..."

The next second, Willy, touched her face, slow to react, but his peripheral vision was clearly still on the child on the bed.

"Does it hurt?"

So done with words, Lauren rolled her eyes at him. She hit her forehead... His reaction... He sure had turned into a buffoon.

She couldn't help tittering as she slapped his hand down. "Haha..."

"You giggled?!"

"It's just that I've never lived with a woman before. I didn't know I hurt you so badly and caused so many misunderstandings between us. I had loved Cloud before I knew you, but we've only dated; we've never lived together. We had created memories together, but that doesn't mean I still miss her; you get me? That's just a part of my past. Like I'd habitually remember some things when I see something similar. Be it her, or you or some man, some thing, none of it means anything special; you get me?"

Willy couldn't make heads or tails as he explained earnestly. In actuality, Lauren understood every bit of it; he, on the other hand, was all over the place, even beginning to sweat on his forehead.

"She's married. Why would I wait until she already had kids if I really want her? If you really mean nothing to me... Three years is enough for me to bear two children! Laurie, I know who I want. If I loved her so much, I would've long taken her back. Why would I wait until now? I didn't throw that cloud lamp away, not because I miss her. It was left there for so long that I had forgotten about it. It doesn't matter to me whether it's thrown away or not, you understand? Why would I buy you earrings when you don't have piercings? I've never bought other women expensive gifts, not because I'm stingy. It's that I'm afraid they'll cling to me and cause a misunderstanding! Yes, I don't lack women, Laurie, but I won't just touch any woman! Maybe it has something to do with my parents. Their marriage has always been my dream; one lifetime, forever together. Even if my mother isn't a young lady anymore, even if she had only given the affluent Bowles family one child, my father still treated her like a piece of priceless treasure. No matter how commanding he is out there, he's just a husband and a father at our beck and call. My father is someone I respect the most, my idol!"

Willy then planted a deep kiss on the back of her hand, which he held tightly.

"I already see you as the one when I decided to let you bear Yvette, when I decided to be responsible to you! Maybe I could've dealt with it all better, but I didn't lie to you!"

Willy suddenly slapped his forehead, asking, "The earrings you were talking about. Was it the one my dad ordered for my mom, then asked me to pick it up?"

They were both somewhat baffled, staring at each other, but struck with a revelation. There seemed to be too many accidental misunderstandings between them

Suddenly, Lauren didn't know how to feel anymore, touching her earlobe subconsciously.

"Who would've thought? I should've asked. You kept calling me a tomboy, and I know I'm not feminine; I don't know how to dress up, nor do I know how to please a man... I thought you shunned me. I even deliberately went and got piercings because of it!"
