Ronald's Tricks

Irene returned to her room and wrote a reply. She heard the sound of the door being locked from outside. Irene knew that Wen Shaoqing had sent someone to do this. She did not expect this Chinese man to be so meticulous.

Wen Shaoqing had not given Irene a definite answer, and Irene would not run around recklessly. She asked Wen Shaoqing to help her find a few English books about China.

Irene was reading with great interest when the door was opened from the outside. Irene thought it was a maid who came to deliver supper. "I don't want to eat supper today. You can take it back."

Irene suddenly felt someone hug her from behind, and then she smelled the familiar scent of a man. Irene used a bookmark to hold the open page, closed the book, and tilted her head to look at the head leaning on her shoulder.

Ronald tightened his arms around Irene. "Don't move. Let me hold you for a while."

Irene saw the blackness under Ronald's eyes.
