Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: His Little-Known Past (2)
"This is my room, your room is next door. Jose Floyd, if you were to go to the wrong room, you shouldn’t be coming here. You should be going to your fiancée’s room!"
Jose Floyd’s eyes were somewhat deep, and his voice even deeper: "Lie down, I’m saying it for the last time."
Nicole hesitated for a moment, then lay down beside Jose Floyd, her body somewhat stiff, deliberately keeping a distance between herself and Jose Floyd, sleeping near the edge of the bed.
Jose Floyd stretched out his hand, pulling Nicole closer into his embrace, his expression still cold.
"Jose Floyd..." Nicole’s voice and breath became tense, her entire being entering a state of readiness, if he dared to take the next step, she would definitely act.
Jose Floyd looked at Nicole, his face slightly sinking, "Rest assured, I said I wouldn’t touch you. Sleep well, I’m a bit tired."
Nicole’s slender lashes blinked as she looked at Jose Floyd’s deep gaze, noticing a hint of fatigue between his brows, she paused, allowing him to hold her without struggling, though her body remained somewhat rigid.
In his arms, listening to his heartbeat, breathing in his scent, it felt as if they had returned to the times they spent together.
This invincible, omnipotent man, at this moment, made her feel a sense of fatigue and vulnerability.
"Jose Floyd... Are you going to sleep? If not, shall we have a chat..." Nicole’s voice was gentle in the quiet of the night.
Since meeting again, this was the first time she’d spoken to him so softly.
Jose Floyd, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, bringing a hint of clarity, looking at Nicole’s face, his voice indifferent: "Alright. Let’s have a chat."
Nicole felt his gaze, somewhat bright, not naturally, she spoke in a low voice: "Jose Floyd, your past... Why are you and Langdon Seal the same pronunciation but different surnames?"
Jose Floyd sat up, walked slowly to the counter to fetch an opened bottle of red wine and two stemmed glasses, returning to the bed.
He poured the wine into the two glasses, handing one to Nicole who had already sat up on the bed.
Nicole watched quietly as Jose Floyd completed all this, listening to the淡 voice he recalled after quite some time.
"You never asked anything about me, or perhaps... you never really wanted to know anything about me."
Jose Floyd’s voice was淡,淡如风, softly brushing past Nicole’s heart.
Nicole’s fingers holding the wine glass were somewhat stiff, she took a sip of the red wine, not speaking.
"Over ten years ago, people in City T said the Seal Family had two sons. Mention Langdon Seal and everyone would praise him as virtuous and talented, outstanding and obedient... Everyone who heard of or knew the Seal Family spoke highly of Langdon Seal. Mention the Seal Family’s second young master, and everyone would scornfully say ’The second master of Seal Family, a useless heir. Wild and arrogant beyond measure, with grades so low, involved in fights regularly.’"
Jose Floyd’s profile was profound, unfathomable. Nicole quietly watched as he emptied the wine in his hand, her own hand tightening around her glass.
"I was that notorious second young master of the Seal Family, always living in Langdon Seal’s shadow, the wild and arrogant second young master."
"From elementary school to junior high, Langdon Seal always took the first place in the same grade, and I was also first. Counting from the bottom."
"In junior high, Langdon Seal become the most popular, well-rounded student in City T’s junior high, admired by teachers and classmates as a model student."
"While I was also remarkable, I became the leader among City T high schoolers. Wherever there was a fight, there was me, Jose Floyd. Utterly arrogant and carefree."
