Chapter 476: Unloading Her Heart
At first, she dodged, trying to break free of his hold, but she still broke into laughter in the end after his attack that she had to ask for mercy, “Tickle, hahaha. Kent Bai, stop, please. Hahaha…”
Kent stopped temporarily, but his fingers were ready for next round of attack. He threatened, “Say you believe me and I’ll let you go. If not, I’ll tie you to the headboard and make you laugh until nightfall.”
Janetta snorted, “Why should I believe you? Don’t think you can get rid of your suspicion after you have two back-ups.”
There was certainly a good distance between their faces, but he suddenly leaned down, leaving a few millimeters. Hot breath hit her face. Kent smiled and said, “Why do I hear like you actually care about me?”
Her mind was being poked and Janetta was stunned. Her hands were still locked and she wasn’t able to move or avoid his face. She could only turn her face away and purposely didn’t look at him, “Don’t be so narcissistic here.”
“I am because I’m confident that I can get into your heart.”
“Of couse, ‘cause you’re a womanizer. From ten-year-old girls to eighteen-year-old teenagers, to young women in their aunties, to aunties in their fifty, and old women in their eighties—they all worship you.”
“Oh, my.” Kent let go of her hands and dropped next to her, lying on his side and sniffing hard on her neck. He was smiling like a succeeded fox, “Why do I smell something like jealousy? Can you smell it?”
“Your nose is broken.” After regaining her freedom, she immediately bounced away, trying to keep a safe distance from him.
Unexpectedly, his arm shot out faster than she could escape. She was pulled back to him in an instant with one leg tightly pressed hers.
Kent buried his head deep into her neck, “Girl, hurry up and say that you believe this old man, or this old man will reward you with ten fingers magic.”
“What’s the use forcing me to say that? It’s because you’re like this that I still can’t fully trust you yet.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
He had glorious history with many women. Although they didn’t know his true identity, many of them found her and used various tricks to threaten her to leave him. They would even corner her in an alley with their friends. It could be seen how absurd his life was.
The word ‘trust’ was so heavy and precious. Janetta felt that they hadn’t reached that point and she was only telling the truth.
But Kent had lost his temper and stared at her with a dangerous gaze. “It seems that my little Janetta really wants to taste my ten fingers magic.”
As soon as he said that, he turned over again. Janetta felt something and couldn’t avoid his fingers no matter where she dodged to. As they pressed against her laughing nerves, she couldn’t help but giggled and cried.
“Kent Bai, stop. I freaking hate you.”
“Extreme hate can turn into love. Say you believe me and I may think about it.”
“As if, you big bastard—hahaha…” Janetta twisted around on the bed, but couldn’t escape his claws.
“Then I have to work harder…” Kent dragged, showing his teeth and claws before her eyes.
Janetta was so scared that she hid to the wrong direction. She buried her head into his arms, raising white flag. “Okay, I believe you. Stop. I surrender.”
If this continued, she was either laughing to death or tickled to death that her stomach hurt.
Kent didn’t let her go because of this and started to creep into her sensitive areas more, “I feel no sincerity there.”
Looked, this was the price of telling the truth. Janetta wanted to cry without tears, shrinking and hiding deeper in his arms. She finally hugged him tight and only her back could be seen.
“I’m willing to try to believe you, okay?” Janetta gasped. She wanted both laugh and not, both cry and not. Even her voice had changed.
The wriggling hands slowly stopped and Kent Bai looked at her seriously, “Truly?”
He didn’t need her complete trust now. As long as she was willing to try, it was a good start.
The uncomfortable feeling on her body disappeared. Janetta turned over and laid on her back, breathing heavily. “I finally make decision. Fine if you don’t believe me.”
“I believe you.” Kent sighed too. His hand reached to push away her messy hair on her cheek. “I really don’t know what to do with you.”
Because she struggled so hard, her skin was covered with beads of sweat, soaking the tips of her hair. She wasn’t fair-skinned, but she had a good skin. Kent stroke her face nostalgically with his fingers.
It was rare to see the woman being quiet and still, as if the tug-of-war just now consumed her energy too much. She just stared at him with a pair of bright eyes.
The air was so quiet that they could hear the growing vague sound. His legs still pressed against her, even angling her body in his arms closer and gently kissing her forehead.
The gentle movement startled Janetta a little. She smelled the unique masculine scent on him. This scent had lingered by her side since the day they met. It was like a nightmare, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that she was being cared for.
Perhaps it was a spur of palpitation as she turned to rest her head in his arms. “I’m neither beautiful nor talented. What do you actually like about me?”
Olive had said she wasn’t confident, but she was still a little curious.
Kent put her chin on top of her hair. The little girl’s face was pressed to his heart. They were so close that he could feel the warmth of her red face.
“Do you keep thinking that a man like me can get any women, but why do I still stick to you? That a man like me has already gotten bored with a feast, so I want to change to another taste, after that I’ll throw you out like a rag after I’m bored with you?”
“Aren’t you?” Janetta pouted a little. “A lot of women love you. You play with them, then throw them away. Like a rag, right?”
“The one they love aren’t my person, but the luxurious life I can give them.”
“Then, aren’t you afraid that I’m like that too?”
Kent burst into laughter and said, “Do I have such bad vision? I always see through people accurately. You aren’t even greedy of my money and the vanity of the power behind your back. You didn’t care them at all. You even hate the rich a bit. Janetta, you can’t be prejudice against people like us just because you came from the orphanage. It’s unfair.”
Janetta was silent for a moment, as if hesitating something, but sullenly said in the end, “I entered the orphanage when I was seven, but I’m actually not an orphan.”
Kent didn’t know this and was slightly surprised, “You’re not an orphan? Then why did you live in the orphanage? Where are your parents?”
“As far as I can remember, that house isn’t harmony. At that time, my mother was still alive, but the man who is my father was never at home. To describe that man now, he’s outstanding, graduated college, smart and capable. With the help of my grandfather, his career went smoothly. From nothing to own an import export trading company. Although its scale wasn’t large, but he finally became rich. But as his pockets growing, at the same time, his mind became mess up and he raised a mistress outside. When my grandparents were still alive, he knew how to restrain himself and only dared to come sneakily. But after they passed away, no one could restrain him anymore. My mother was a weak housewife, spoiled since childhood, and didn’t have a job. Once my grandparents passed away, her world seemed to collapse. When it was just the beginning, that man would still come home to pay for living expenses every month, but later, under the instigation of his lover, he cut off our financial resources and forced my mother to divorce. At that time, my mother’s entire world broke down. She only knew crying all day and didn’t care about me. I learned how to cook myself at the age of six. She was diagnosed with cancer soon after. The hospital was like a bottomless pit that sucked blood. The little heritage left by my grandparents were gone in less than a year. I went to that man’s company to find him, knelt down and begged him. Begging him to save my mother because I’m his daughter. But he was indifferent and took out ten yuan from his pocket, treating me like a beggar and telling me to buy candy. At that time, his woman was pregnant and her stomach was big, kicking me in front of him and saying that daughter was a money-losing commodity, while son was his lifeblood. At that moment, I just knew that that man never hugged me since I was a child because I’m born a girl and couldn’t be his heir. And my mother, after giving birth to me, had always been in poor health and was difficult to get pregnant again. My mother finally died in the hospital. The day she died was the day that man remarried.”
When she said all these, her voice was extremely calm. He could even hear the slightest emotion. But when Kent lifted her head from his embrace, she was already in tears, wetting his front clothes.
“In the few days before my mother died, it suddenly occurred to her that her daughter still had to settle down. We couldn’t even get living expenses from that man, let alone taking me in. Although my mother
was weak and incompetent, she was kind-hearted. In the years when our economy was prosperous, she would regularly volunteer in the orphanage every month, or buy some clothes, toys, books, snacks, and so on for the children in the orphanage. She became good friends with the dean there. And just like that, I was entrusted to the dean. I lived there until I was fifteen. The dean passed away due to overworked. The orphanage couldn’t be maintained for economic reasons and it collapsed. Younger children were all adopted. But I was too old and no one dared to adopt me. So I came out by myself, graduating college while I studied and part-timed.”
“Janetta…” His heart ached to the deepest. Even his tone was heavy when calling out her name. He put away his usual silliness and hugged her tightly, wanting to warm her broken life with his chest. “Janetta, I swear, I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life. I won’t let you be treated unjust again. I won’t let anyone bully you again.”
