Chapter 1408: 353: Let no one reach you!_1 Chapter 1408: 353: Let no one reach you!_1 Viola Thompson looked stunned when Terrence Lentz suddenly mentioned this.
“Hmm, should I discuss it with my parents when I get back? To see when they have time?”
Her parents had been quite busy lately, and Viola wasn't sure exactly when they would be available.
Terrence Lentz nodded slightly, “Alright.”
As his words fell, he picked up the empty lunch box, and turned towards the kitchen.
“Lentz, what are you doing?” Viola curiously asked.
Terrence replied: “I'm going to wash the lunchbox.”
Viola seemed surprised by his diligence, smiling as she said, “I can take it back and have it washed.”
“There's no need to go through the trouble,” Terrence said, pausing before adding, “And besides, I want to leave a good impression on your family's servants.”
If he were to let the Thompson family's servants clean even a lunch box, it would certainly give the impression of him being lazy.
What if those servants were to gossip about him and this was overheard by Viola's parents?
Hearing this, Viola giggled softly, “You've thought this through quite well.”
Terrence Lentz raised his eyebrows slightly, “You could say that I'm just a thrifty and diligent person.”
“A good wife?” Viola teased.
Terrence's lips curved upwards slightly, “If you like it that way, why not?”
The hotel kitchen was well-equipped. After cleaning up, Terrence put the lunch box in a disinfectant cabinet for sterilization.
Viola prepared to leave.
“Let me walk you out.” Terrence said, rolling down his sleeves to cover his wristwatch.
Viola replied: “That won't be necessary. I drove here myself. You rest for now and adjust your jet lag. We'll go to the movies together tomorrow.”
“Sounds good, what movie do you want to see? I'll make the arrangements.” Terrence responded, his lips parting slightly.
After contemplating for a moment, Viola said, “There's a new horror film that just got released, right? I heard the ratings are quite high and the plot is good. How about we watch that?”
“Alright.”
“Then, I'm leaving now.” Viola picked up the lunchbox.
“Hmm.” Terrence nodded slightly.
Viola turned to leave.
At that precise moment, he swiftly grabbed her by the wrist and gently pulled her towards him.
Viola stumbled forward from the pull and landed into his arms. His hand snaked around her slim waist, pulling her closer, then he gently pressed his lips against her forehead.
Each breath they took was filled with the other's scent.
The beating of their hearts echoed in each other's ears.
After a moment, he let her go, while straightening her hair, “Alright, go home and remember to be safe.”
“Hmm.”
“I'm leaving now.”
Terrence nodded lightly, his gaze filled with her retreating figure.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to lose color.
Only she remained.
Viola turned to leave.
Watching her fading figure, Terrence turned to leave as well. Just as he was about to walk away though, Miss Thompson, who had already turned back, suddenly ran over. She tiptoed, hooked her arms around his neck, and her ruby-red lips landed on his thin lips. Her tongue gently swept over his lips.
It felt as if he had been electrocuted.
It made him tingle all over.
Terrence instantly felt like his whole body didn't belong to him anymore. His mind was in a daze, his body felt fiery hot as if it were about to explode.
Before he could come out of his infatuation, Viola let him go, saying, “I'm really leaving now!”
With that, Viola turned and ran off.
Mr. Lentz, who was watching Miss Thompson's retreating figure: “…”
She teased and ran away!
What a tease!
Watching Viola's retreating figure, he intended to walk her downstairs. However, just as he took his first step, he looked down at his body and couldn't help sighing in frustration. He reluctantly closed his room door.
Thereafter, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.
However, this time, the duration of the shower was noticeably longer than the last time.
Viola drove back to Thompson Family Manor.
She parked the car directly at the entrance.
“Miss Thompson is back!”
The housekeeper immediately stepped forward to open the car door.
As Viola got out of the car, she asked, “Are my older brothers at home?”
The housekeeper nodded, “Yes, they are all at home. Miss Thompson, you're not going out again, are you? I'll park the car in the garage.”
“Alright, thank you, Grandpa Housekeeper.”
“It's my duty.”
The housekeeper drove the car into the garage.
Viola, holding the lunchbox, walked into the hall.
The balloons and other decorations in the living room were already set up.
“Little sis, we've been waiting for you. We've prepared all the materials needed to make the cake.”
Samuel Thompson and Edward Thompson, both nearly six feet tall, were wearing aprons and came out from the direction of the bakery room.
The sight of two towering men wearing aprons appeared particularly comical.
Viola looked up slightly, “I'm going to wash my hands first.”
“Alright, take your time. We'll be waiting for you in the bakery room.”
