Lawrence looked at Martha with a straight face, “Is this why you asked me to see you here?”
Martha shrugged, “What else did you think I would say?”
Lawrence took a step back and turned his back to her, “Nothing. Good night!”
He was about to leave.
“Lawrence!” Martha whispered his name and looked at his back with pain in her eyes.
Suddenly she opened her arms and ran toward him like a white butterfly. She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind and held him tightly. Her voice wasn’t as sarcastic and resentful as moments ago. She sounded helpless, “Neither of us is marrying anyone. Promise me.”
The eternal coldness in Lawrence’s eyes was gone the moment Martha pressed her body against his. He looked sad and helpless.
Hiding behind the large potted tree, Joey was stunned at the sight.
What was going on?
It seemed that Lawrence and Martha were more than just brother and sister. Joey was completely confused.
“Let go!”
Lawrence closed his eyes and prised her fingers one by one. He turned around to look at Martha with restored coldness in his eyes.
He was saying it to her as much as to himself.
“I won’t, never!”
Martha tightened her grip on his waist and looked up to meet his cold eyes. She was trying to melt his frozen heart with her passionate and persistent beautiful eyes.
Lawrence suddenly felt annoyed. He lost his cool again, and felt an irresistible impulse. He pushed her away and said coldly, “Martha, wake up. We’re brother and sister of the same father. You’re insane. It will never work out.”
Martha stared at him with stubbornness and craziness. She was overwhelmed by mixed love-hate feelings.
A cold young man as he was, his emotional outburst was all the more passionate and uncontrollable.
They were kissing each other like crazy. His lust finally awoke to her kiss. He didn’t reject her anymore. Instead he began to hug her close and kiss her back passionately. No one could ever separate them from each other again.
Martha burst into tears when she found that he responded to her with even more passionate kisses. She was overwhelmed with joy.
He finally stopped suppressing his feelings for her and her love was rewarded.
They wished the kiss would never end.
Joey had never seen a couple who could kiss so affectionately and desperately. Even as an outsider, she could relate to their burning love.
However, there came a shout from behind, “Lawrence, you bastard!”
Someone suddenly showed up and punched Lawrence in the face.
