"You are here."
The rich voice intermingled with intoxicating gentleness, deliberately slow, like a well-aged wine, creating indescribable ripples in the heart.
Flossie Wright, who was suddenly pulled into his arms, first secured the hot water bottle in her hand before furrowing her brow and attempting to break free. Upon hearing his gentle voice out of nowhere, she was somewhat surprised.
Has this bastard taken something?
However, it was only when she heard the sharp intake of breath next to her that her thoughts connected, and she suddenly understood.
So, even if she simply crosses the road, could she be dragged over as a human shield?
Perhaps sensing her reluctance, the arm around her tightened unexpectedly, a clear warning. Flossie made a slight movement, but soon realized she was trapped as firmly as if in iron shackles, leaving her with no room to resist.
Flossie suddenly wanted to wreak havoc, but when she lifted her eyes, she met deep dark eyes that seemed to pour down like a waterfall, a gentleness that could melt even a heart. She hesitated unexpectedly. Flossie’s gaze flickered slightly, staring into his eyes. His gaze was tranquil and calm, revealing no ripples, showing absolute control, along with a trace of threatening undertone.
After considering it, Flossie wisely decided not to oppose him. She obediently buried her head into his chest, whispered shyly, "Mmm."
Glenn Hutchinson frowned.
He wasn’t surprised at Flossie’s submission, but rather...
The two of them were in close proximity. Flossie’s free hand skillfully circled his waist, and without any courtesy, squeezed hard. However, Flossie wore a fox-like grin on her face, appearing innocently as if oblivious to everything, her lazy, sharply focused eyes full of intensity, like a just unsheathed, sharp sword.
Very interesting.
Glenn seemed to casually grasp her wrist, effectively restraining her small movements. His pretend gentleness grew even stronger, and his lips rose in a captivating smile.
Despite such tenderness, when their gazes clashed, tension was clearly evident in the air.
A moment later, he parted his lips slightly, "Stop it."
"Huh," Flossie chuckled quietly, the smile in her eyes deepening a few degrees. She slightly turned her body, glanced sideways at the person next to her, and finding a comfortable position in Glenn’s arms said, "Nurse Mia, I’m afraid your chance is gone. Well, I could always let you know once I get tired of him."
Her teasing words had barely finished when the arm around her waist tightened, causing Flossie a moment of pain, yet the smile on her face didn’t waver at all. She appeared as sweet as a couple with the man encircling her, despite cursing Glenn’s ancestors in her mind.
Ever since Mia saw Flossie being pulled into Glenn’s arms, her coquettish face turned pale in anger, a mix of undisguised surprise and bewilderment, as if Flossie’s appearance was highly abnormal.
Mia had of course done her homework. Since she wanted to pursue the man, she had to put in the effort.
Regardless of how excellent the man was, she wouldn’t dare to be a homewrecker after all.
Only after she’d painstakingly found out that Glenn Hutchinson didn’t have a girlfriend nor was married, did she feel secure in pursuing him. For several days, she employed every possible means to court him. Almost everyone at the base knew she was pursuing this Captain who emerged from some mysterious forces.
