In this way, as long as he had time, he would give her a call. Of course, Lilith knew the nature of his work, so she never took the initiative to call him and just waited for his call every day. She was cheerful when she got his call, and their feelings were developing rapidly. It was very romantic, and they felt very happy.
She never asked him what kind of tasks he was carrying out and never asked when he would come back. When he showed up in front of her, she was so excited and even wanted to kiss him because she missed him so much.
Jay was also amused by Lilith, and he patted her head lightly, "I just wanted to give you a surprise."
"I just wish you could be safe forever." Lilith curled up in his arms, and her heart beat so quickly since she was afraid that he would push her away like before. However, he still pushed her away gently.
At this moment, her heart sank and turned cold suddenly, as if she was getting soaked in cold water. She wondered why he still pushed her away since she was his girlfriend now. But Jay did not perceive her depression and turned back and took a bag from the back seat, then handed it to her.
Lilith was confused while Jay said with a smile, "Open it. I am not sure if you will like it."
Lilith followed his words and then opened them. It was a plush kitten that was very cute, and there was even a shiny collar on its neck. It was easy for her to tell that the collar was made up of some excellent crystals, but...
"Is it a gift for me?" She asked hesitantly.
Jay looked at her with a little bit of puzzlement, and then he replied, "Of course, it's a gift for you. Do you think I bought it for myself? I don't like stuffed toys."
"You bought it for me?" She asked yet another idiotic question.
Noticing her strange expression, Jay took the plush kitten and sighed slightly. "You don't like it? I went shopping in several malls and then decided to buy it. I thought girls liked plush toys. To be honest, I didn't know what kind of gift I should give to you."
"Jay. I like it. I like it very much. I'd like anything as long as it was sent by you, even if it was just a leaf." Lilith couldn't restrain her excitement and held him before she could finish her words.
Jay reached out, embracing her this time, and looked at her tearful eyes. "Hey, honey, why are you crying?" He asked.
"It is because your gift is so beautiful." Lilith held him tightly as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she loosened her hands. In fact, she wanted to say more since she was moved that he spent a lot of time buying a gift for her.
"I am glad that you like it." Staring at her cheerful face, Jay was very happy, and then he held her even more tightly, adding, "I have never bought a gift for a girl, so I was not sure if you would like it."
"I like it. I like it very much." Lilith held the small kitten and looked up at him, "Jay, I love you so much."
She was not a small girl to play with such a toy anymore, but she liked it because it was a gift from Jay. Perhaps, in his opinion, he thought girls would like plush toys at any age, so she cherished his simplicity and purity.
Jay stared at her enchanting eyes and couldn't help kissing her forehead. She closed her eyes and was obsessed with his kiss. After a long time, she blinked and smiled, "It feels good to be embraced by you."
Jay also smiled and said, "It also feels good to hold you."
After hearing this, her eyes were glittering, and she asked, "Really? You have never said sweet words to me before."
"Are they sweet words?"
"Yes." She nodded. It was rare for him to say anything like this since he was not a romantic man. Then Lilith continued, "I thought you were refusing me like before when you just pushed me away."
"Push you away? When?" Jay frowned.
She reached out to smooth his eyebrows and smiled, "You pushed me away in order to get the gift. I misunderstood."
Then Jay realized and felt regret and looked at her. "I will not do that next time."
Lilith was amused by his serious look and couldn't help holding his neck and said, "Jay, I am so intoxicated by you."
Allowing her to hold his neck and act like a spoiled child in his arms, Jay showed a big smile and said to her after she calmed down, "I will take you to a new restaurant."
"Okay!" She nodded cheerfully.
****
When Irish returned to the apartment, Joseph was on the phone, sitting on the couch. It was not convenient for him to hold the cell phone since there was a wound on his back, so she stepped forward and held the phone, leaning it against his ear.
Irish didn't know who he was talking to, and she didn't want to know. Finally, she heard Joseph urge, "Start from channel reconstruction."
Irish also knew something about channel reconstruction because she had seen it before while in Johannesburg with Joseph. Now it seemed that they were talking about the diamond mine. After the call ended, she put the phone aside, grabbed the safe, and opened it. The blue-green diamond was revealed in front of him.
"That's what you wanted. I brought it back." She said indifferently.
Joseph took a look at it and then put it down. "Thank you."
Irish didn't respond.
He closed the safe and stood up, smiling at her when he saw that she was speechless. And he held her face, kissing her cheeks, and then was about to return to the bedroom.
Finally, Irish said behind him, "Don't you want to explain it to me?"
Joseph stopped after hearing this and turned to her, but he didn't reply to her immediately, while Irish waited there for his answer.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and it was so quiet in the room. But Joseph finally broke the deadlock and smiled softly, "I thought Tuell had told you everything."
