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 favonovel.com denied it right now, it would be hypocritical. After a two second pause, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com mouth to speak, but Sylvain stopped favonovel.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 favonovel.com winded the windows down, allowing the night breeze to blow through favonovel.com hair and release the fragrance of favonovel.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…” favonovel.com replied awkwardly.
He pulled out a hair scrunchie, as if favonovel.com were doing a magic trick. “Here.”
She accepted it and felt even more awkward than ever. She had left this when favonovel.com stayed over at his place once. She was surprised that favonovel.com still kept it and… Brought it along with favonovel.com everywhere favonovel.com went? Just as favonovel.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 favonovel.com bag as they approached favonovel.com home. Her heart sank when favonovel.com realized that the jingling sound of favonovel.com keys in favonovel.com bag were missing. Sylvain’s sharp vision noticed favonovel.com tiny movements and carefully asked, “Don’t tell me, you forgot your keys?”
She gritted favonovel.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 favonovel.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 favonovel.com is disturbed from favonovel.com sleep.”
Robin kept favonovel.com mouth shut. She was definitely going to get yelled at. Even the thought of favonovel.com mother’s stern tongue-lashings filled favonovel.com with terror now.
Sylvain stopped the car downstairs at favonovel.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 favonovel.com with surprise. Was favonovel.com implying that favonovel.com could stay over at his place if favonovel.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 favonovel.com opened the door, Sylvain grabbed favonovel.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 favonovel.com remembered everything favonovel.com had said.
She had only mentioned this to favonovel.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 favonovel.com got home, afraid of a scolding. As it happened, favonovel.com mother thought that favonovel.com had tagged along with favonovel.com father to a relative’s house, so no one noticed favonovel.com at the door. Hence, favonovel.com squatted outside the door for the entire night…
By the time favonovel.com returned to favonovel.com senses, Sylvain had already turned the car around and driven away. She didn’t even have the time to turn favonovel.com down. A small corner of favonovel.com heart was stirring silently.
