She sniffled, droplets of water condensed from the cold air gathering at the tip of her nose. She lowered her cell phone to glance at the screen.
The call was still connected, but he had fallen silent.
"Are you happy there?"
After a while, his voice came through the receiver.
Lola Hussey replied, "Happy."
"Then, do you miss me?"
"Someone just asked if you miss me, and you didn't answer."
"Did they?"
"Of course." Lola Hussey even helped him recall it.
It was as if Ethan Ainsley had only just realized, expressing a deep "Hmm", "I'm afraid my spoken words of longing don't run as deep as how I truly miss you."
Previously, she was only half-jokingly complaining about him. As she heard his words, Lola Hussey's emotional jar was overturned, filling with a fragrant sweetness. She teased him, "Who would have thought, Mr. Ainsley, you are so romantic."
She loved the way he expressed his love for her.
Even though many times, his affection was bestowed during their intimate moments.
