Chapter 660 Marie muttered, âI told you not to come, but you still managed to find your way Lennon held Marieâs face in his hands and gently turned her head to face him.
here.â
Mang âI came because I wanted to see you,â the man said, with his handsome features and captivating deep voice, gentle like a warm spring breeze.
Marieâs clear and bright apricot eyes welled up with mist, as she stared unblinkingly at Lennon.
âWhatâs wrong?â The man gently scratched Marieâs nose with his hand, a hint of a smile in his eyes. âItâs only been a few days, and donât you recognize me?â
Marieâs eyes shimmered like water, her voice soft and gentle as if just waking up, âIt just felt so unreal, like a dream.â
âItâs not a dream,â a gentle smile played on the manâs lips.âIf you donât believe me, try pinching me.â
Marie let out a soft âhmmâ and said, âI donât know if pinching you would hurt or not.â
Lennon smiled in his eyes and said, âSo what should we do? If I pinch you, I will feel sorry for you.â
Marie chuckled and lightly tapped the manâs chest, with a hint of playfulness, âAlright, stop being so talkative.â
Lennon held Marieâs hand and whispered, âTruthfully.â
Marieâs pair of deerâlike eyes were bright and clear, reflecting Lennonâs handsome and unblemished face.
She pursed her lips and asked him, âHave you had breakfast?â
âNo, the road conditions were even worse than I had imagined. It wasnât until 3:30 in the morning that I arrived in downtown Los Angeles. The downtown area was much better, as the water had already receded. However, as I drove towards this side, the road became increasingly difficult to navigate. There was already flooding in the county town, and when I was about five kilometers away from the village, the entire area was submerged in water. I had no choice but to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way.â
Marie furrowed her eyebrows and said, âYou walked five kilometers?â
Lennon nodded.
A slight, barely noticeable pang of heartache flickered in Marieâs eyes.
He walked five kilometers, on foot, on a muddy path. He would slip and slide if he wasnât careful, and could easily fall.
