C39 Some People must Not be Missed.
In the courtyard.
The moonlight shone on their bodies, and the coldness was getting stronger and stronger. However, Reece didn't notice it at all.
He swept his gaze across the woman's face, nose, and chin. Finally, his gaze landed on her cherry-like chest. Suddenly, his heart thumped.
This was the first time his heart was beating so fast that he couldn't even ignore it.
He forced himself to pull his gaze away from the woman's face. Only then did he manage to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.
Tap, tap, tap...
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard. Reece's body tensed up.
"Ahem... The moon tonight is really round."
The moon was round?
The butler raised his eyes and glanced at the crescent moon above his head. He secretly smiled - hmm, this moon was really round!
He pretended not to hear anything. He put away the blanket and left without turning his head back.
After he turned around, the butler did not hold back his laughter anymore. Aunt's smile immediately surged up.
Only after the butler had completely left did Reece glance at the blanket beside him and realize that it was cold.
He glanced at Lydia and saw that she was still sleeping soundly. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Lydia, you're tired. Let's go back and sleep."
This time, his tone was much gentler.
However, this woman seemed to be too sleepy and didn't react at all.
He gently carried her up and returned to the room.
Reece put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Then, he lay down beside her.
In the darkness, he could only focus on the calmness in her heart.
Gradually, the sleepiness engulfed him. He was so sleepy that it was difficult for him to force himself to stop sleeping.
This woman was indeed the best hypnotist in the world.
The effect was fast and effective!
Although he didn't understand the reason, he didn't have time to think about it. He fell into a deep sleep and fell into his dreams.
The next day.
The sunlight shone through the glass window and landed on Ava's face.
Because it was too bright, her eyelashes trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
The next second, a warm breath sprayed on her face.
Lydia suddenly tensed up and her eyes opened uneasily. The man's handsome face reflected in her eyes.
Out of instinct, she raised her leg in fear.
"Ah!"
Luckily, Reece caught her in time and grabbed her ankle with his big hand, preventing her from falling over.
"You, why are you sleeping next to me?" Lydia was overwhelmed with fear and uneasiness.
The man naturally saw all of these emotions.
He loosened her leg and asked, "I should be asking you why you took my bed and didn't sleep on the floor."
Hmm?
Lydia was stunned by the man's tough question. Her mind was blank.
She had taken his bed?
She pursed her lips and tried to figure out what was going on.
She remembered that they were in the courtyard listening to a lecture, and then... Then she fell asleep. How could she have taken his bed?
"Didn't you just put me on the bed?" She frowned.
"I put you on the floor, and you climbed up to the bed in a daze and forgot about it." The man glanced at her and said it in a clear voice.
Lydia was so confident that she thought she had done it.
She pursed her lips. "Really?"
"Yes." The man nodded.
Lydia's face turned red. "I didn't... I didn't do anything excessive, right?"
"Why? Do you want to do something to me?" The man frowned and asked.
Her face was already red, and she was so embarrassed that she almost fell to the ground. "No, it's fine as long as you didn't do anything excessive."
"..."
"I'm sorry, I might have been talking in my sleep last night. If I climbed up to the bed again, you will wake me up."
"Okay."
In order to avoid awkwardness, she quickly walked into the bathroom.
Huala!
Only when she heard the sound of running water did the man let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this woman believed him.
A few years ago, he had been suffering from insomnia. Every time he woke up, he didn't have much energy.
He had been sleeping very well recently, and he felt as if his body was filled with electricity.
He stretched his body and went downstairs.
"Reece, come and play a game with Grandfather." Seeing him come down, Old Mr. Tillman, who was in the living room, smiled and waved at him.
Reece nodded and sat across from Old Mr. Tillman.
Old Mr. Tillman glanced at his grandson, who had no dark circles under his eyes and was full of energy. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I have seen you not staring at the dark circles. Did you find a cure for insomnia?"
"No."
"Oh? The insomnia has been cured?" Old Mr. Tillman was surprised.
"I found a prescription to treat insomnia. I'm currently using it, but it seems to be very effective." Reece smiled and placed a piece of chess on the board.
Old Mr. Tillman looked at him without batting an eyelid. The corner of his mouth raised. "Reece, life is short. Fate has brought you here. Some people can't be missed. Otherwise, if you miss them, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Old Mr. Tillman's words were obviously directed at someone else. The smart Reece could naturally hear what he meant.
He smiled and continued to play chess with the old man.
...
At this moment, on the second floor.
Lydia, who was washing up, received Eliza's call.
"Lydia, do you have time now? Can you come back to the Ellis family?" Eliza sounded nervous and uneasy on the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"There was an accident in the clothing processing factory of the Ellis family, causing the style of this year to be delayed and unable to be sold. Your father and your grandmother are having a headache over this. Your grandmother has gathered the entire family to discuss how to save it." Eliza added, "This time, your grandmother has specially asked me to call you back to discuss countermeasures."
Call her?
Heh!
Her grandmother must be afraid of Reece, the power of the Tillman family.
As expected, even though some things had changed after her rebirth, some things still hadn't changed.
She walked to the bedside and looked at the calendar. As expected, the incident that happened in the Ellis family in her previous life had happened today.
In her previous life, she didn't care about it at all. But in this life...
She had to go to the Ellis family and save them.
She wanted to change her grandmother's opinion of her. Now, all she had to do was to build up her favorability.
Therefore, she wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
Lydia came back to her senses and quickly nodded, "Alright, Mom, I'll go over now."
After putting away the phone, Lydia put on her coat and hurried downstairs.
Out of courtesy, she greeted Old Mr. Tillman, who was playing chess, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Seeing her anxious look, Old Mr. Tillman quickly pushed Reece, "Little Ava, there is quite a distance between here and your house. I don't feel at ease driving with your leg. Let Reece send you there."
"There's no need. I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the man had already snatched the key from her hand. She could only watch as the man walked past her and into her car.
"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!" The man suddenly urged her.
Lydia froze, her mind blank.
What was wrong with this man?
