Chapter 1124 You Need Me Too
She reached out and found that it was actually warm.
Mason saw her dazed expression and asked, “Babe, why’d you fall asleep in the bathtub?”
“What time is it?” Janet got up halfway but didn’t answer his question and simply picked up the phone beside her before glancing at it.
6.00AM. It’s 6.00AM. She had really fallen asleep in the bathtub last night.
“Are you feeling better?” Restraining herself, Janet reached out to touch Mason’s forehead. “Let me see if it’s still hot.”
Mason took her hand and secretly kissed it. “Are you done checking?”
“It’s not hot to the touch, but we’ll only know the actual temperature after measuring it,” Janet said solemnly while looking at him.
The man’s lips curled up and he chuckled. His beautiful eyes became charming again as he answered, “You’ll find out in a moment whether or not I’ve recovered. There’s no need to take my temperature.” After saying that, he took her hand and slowly placed it on his chest.
Then, he started shifting her hand downward to make her feel his…
Janet was speechless. “Don’t be a rascal.” She nudged his shoulder.
Mason let out a small laugh as he held her hand and said seriously, “Babe, before this, we said that after the engagement party, we’d go to Yobril together. Now that the engagement party is over, should we plan our trip to Yobril?”
It went without saying that Janet understood what he meant. The faster the President was killed, the earlier they would feel at ease. However, she didn’t expect that that day would come so soon. Unsure whether it was because of the dream just now, she suddenly felt like there was a huge lump in her throat.
“Mason, maybe it’s better if you don’t go.”
A frown appeared on Mason’s handsome face, and his voice was suddenly cold as he asked, “Why not, Babe?”
Janet didn’t expect Mason’s reaction to be so big, so she was a little flustered. “You should stay here because the Lowry Family needs you, and so does the Lowry Family Conglomerate. I can handle Yobril’s affairs. So how about you stay in Sandfort City and wait for me to come back?”
When she said the last sentence, she was almost begging him. She had to say that, because she couldn’t possibly tell him that what she had just dreamt of was making her worried. Dreams were just dreams, and they might not necessarily come true. Nevertheless, she didn’t dare to take the risk.
“No, Babe.” Mason shook his head. At this moment, his eyes were no longer charming, and he was almost scrutinizing her instead. “That’s not what you said last time. You said that no matter what, we have to bear it together. You said that no matter what, we must be together. You said all that…” The man studied her, feeling puzzled. “But why are you changing your mind now?”
Taking a deep breath, Janet slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t dare look him in the eyes. It was as if she could see the blood on his handsome face just by looking at him.
“Babe, is it because you’re afraid that I’ll drag you down?” The man pressed on as he fixed his gaze on her.
Janet slowly opened her eyes, which had suddenly turned cold, and she emitted a sense of alienation. “No.” Her voice was as cold as an ice cellar. “I told you why. You should stay in Sandfort City because the Lowry Family and the Lowry Family Conglomerate need you.”
Mason’s lips twitched slightly. “But you need me too.”
The man’s voice was soft, but it was like a sharp blade stabbing straight into Janet’s heart. A sore and painful sensation exploded in her heart, almost suffocating her. She realized that the part of her that had always been strong was slowly disintegrating. In front of this man, she was like a newborn baby.
“Babe, if you still insist on your plan, then neither of us are going.”
She was aware of how stubborn he was. Once he decided on something, he would never look back. Hence, he must also have a way to prevent her from going to Yobril.
Janet took a deep breath. Since there was no escape, she could only face it calmly. She stared into the man’s eyes and said softly, “Okay, let’s go together.”
As soon as she said that, Mason wrapped his arms around her waist, then rested his head on her shoulder. His next words were clear, profound, and shocking. “Babe, don’t forget—we are one.”
