Ava rushed back to her bedside, picking up the phone to answer the call.
“Can’t sleep?” Antonio’s voice came from the phone. Under the beautiful night sky, for some reason, his voice caused her heart to ripple.
The moment Ava heard his voice, her whole body softened as she laid back down on the bed. She hugged a pillow. “You saw my message?”
“En.”
“It’s already so late. Have you returned back to the Bellevue Hill?”
“No. There was an unforeseen issue with the overseas partnership. Just ended a meeting.” Antonio’s voice was low.
“Then you should go rest early. Now that I’m not home, you’re going to start burning the midnight oil again, aren’t you?” Ava could not resist nagging, “I should just stick by your side every day. The moment it’s night, I can strip you and press you onto the bed so that you can’t go anywhere. Don’t even talk about work, you won’t even be allowed to enter the study!”
It was silent on the phone for a moment. After that, a low, warm chuckle was heard. “When do you plan to strip me?”
“I’m speaking seriously! It’s for you to sleep early!”
Antonio smiled. “But I look forward more to you personally taking off my clothes before sleeping.”
“…”
Ava buried her face into her pillow, listening to the sound of movement through the phone. She silently sighed. She was clearly the one who had taken the initiative to tease him. Why did it seem like he was the one who had ended up teasing her instead?
He seemed to have exited the company. She could vaguely hear his movements. He was most likely at the company’s underground parking lot.
Ava could not bear to hang up the phone but also did not wish to disturb his driving. She laid on her stomach, squinting her eyes as she spoke, “Put on your headphones before you drive. You don’t have to chat with me. When you drive at night, you have to focus on safety.”
“Sleepy?” he asked.
“No, I can’t sleep. Maybe it’s because it’s been too long since I came back to the Clifford home.” Ava lazily laid on the bed as she spoke, “It’s so strange. Even though there’s not much difference between the bed here and Bellevue Hill’s bed, but when I lie here, I just can’t sleep.”
“It’s most likely because the bed is lacking me.”
Ava curved her eyes in a smile, reaching out to pull the big white stuffed bear she always used to hug into her arms. She was silent for a moment.
After not speaking for so long, she did not know if he was already arriving back at the Bellevue Hill, but the two of them did not hang up.
She lazily said, “Uu, it seems like I can only let Mr. Bear hold me to sleep tonight~.”
Antonio directly asked, “What Mr. Bear?”
“It’s… aside from you who is my legal husband, the only one who has the right to climb onto my bed… Mr. Bear.” Ava pinched the bear in her arms as she spoke before looking at the time once more. She smiled. “All right, focus on driving. I won’t disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow.”
After speaking, Ava was about to hang up.
However, because she really could not bear to, she thought she would wait for him to hang up instead and pressed the phone back to her ear.
Yet, after half a long time, Antonio still did not hang up.
Could it be that he was waiting for her to hang up first?
Ava smiled. Just as she was about to move the phone away, she suddenly heard Antonio’s low voice, “Come out, open the door.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“!!!”
Ava took ‘half a day’ before clambering off the bed, rushing towards the window to look out.
Seeing white headlights flash by the Clifford family home’s metal gates, she could guess that the vague shape of a car in the dark was Antonio’s car.
Ava was shocked. “That car is… Is it you? You-you came?”
“Mrs. Sylvester, my clothes are already prepared. Whenever you wish to take them off, you are welcome.”
Antonio’s voice held some humor with intentions she could not guess. Before Ava came back to herself, the call was disconnected.
Ava was in a daze.
So, Antonio really came?
The SLV Corporation was not close to the Clifford family home, how did he arrive so quickly?
He-he-he-he actually came directly tonight?
—-
At the front porch of the Clifford home, the moment the helpers and housekeepers saw that it was Antonio’s car, they all rushed forward to open the door and welcome him.
Right now, everyone at home had yet to sleep. Hearing of his arrival, Henry directly went downstairs. Even Jessica and Stella were shocked when they heard of Antonio’s arrival.
Ava was the only who was in a daze for a long time as she stared at the phone screen that had already turned dark. Once she came back to herself, she turned and ran out.
“Brother Antonio!” Stella had just showered. She wore a thin pink spaghetti strapped sleeping dress as she went to welcome him. “Why didn’t you say anything before coming?”
After entering through the door, Stella directly stood in front of him, blocking his view of everything else.
Antonio coldly glanced at her and did not pay her much attention. He turned to look at Henry who was walking over, speaking politely, “Dad.”
“Why did you come at such a time.” Henry clearly did not expect that Antonio would come. “Did you not return to the Bellevue Hill? You came here directly from work?”
Antonio directly walked in. His gaze calm. “The company isn’t far from here. Since Ava is here, I directly came here.”
“Ah, Ava only came back to the Clifford home for one night, but Mr. Sylvester already misses her?” Jessica cut in with a strange tone of voice.
She really could not understand how Ava, that brat, managed to have so much luck. Not only did she manage to smoothly marry someone like Antonio, she even managed to have him care so much about her. After demanding for a divorce for half a year, she still remained as Mrs. Sylvester.
The moment Ava came downstairs, she heard Jessica’s unkind tone. This woman really wore a mask when speaking to her, and then placed on a different one when she was not around.
“Since you’ve come, then rest here. Auntie Mia, call Ava down.” Henry’s mood was rather good. Both his daughter and son-in-law were here, this was truly rare.
Auntie Mia nodded her head, but the moment she turned around, she saw that Ava had already come down.
“Eldest Miss, Mr. Sylvester is here.” Auntie Mia looked at her happily with a smile.
“I know~ We were just on the phone just now~.”
Ava did not conceal anything with her words. The moment she came downstairs, she directly walked over. The first thing she saw was Antonio who wore a fitted suit along with a black windbreaker.
This man… How could he be so good looking…
A simple windbreaker could also be worn so beautifully.
She did not even have the time to meet eyes with him when she heard Stella’s voice forcefully cutting in, “Brother Antonio, it must be very cold outside today, isn’t it? We’ve already entered autumn for many days. My sister didn’t pass her cold to you when she fell sick, did she? Don’t just focus on your work, you have to take care of yourself as well!”
Antonio coldly made an “Hm” sound. From start to finish, his gaze never landed on Stella. Instead, it looked past Stella who was blocking his view, focused on Ava who was walking over.
His appearance was handsome and perfect. He stood there, calmly looking at her. All of his focus was placed on her alone.
After entering through the door, everyone could see Antonio’s distant and cold attitude. It was only when he saw Ava that everyone understood the meaning of ‘send the charming one out, and the mortal world is covered with smoke and fire.’
