Chapter 140 Attracted To Her
"Uhm." She placed her head on his chest. "I am anxious about my acting debut. I'm so nervous now. Even though Brigitta had sent me some script to go through, I'm unable to go through it." Tinsley explained that anxiety.
"You're doing good. You don't need to force it." He said and placed a peck on her face.
"You think so?" She pouted, and he nodded to show his honesty. "I won't lie to you, do I?"
"You're right." She replied.
"How about you try out a few scenes with me?" He suggested, which made her eyes light up. "You can act?" She asked with disbelief.
"Hm..." Before Jarek could reply, the triplet barged into the room with an excited gaze. "Didn't I warn you about knocking?" Jarek feigned anger while staring at the triplet, who was now walking toward them with a cautious step.
"Dad, we're sorry. We forgot." They all replied and turned to Tinsley and Jarek excitedly. "Dad, Mom, you're taking us to play, right?" They asked, and Tinsley nodded.
Jarek furrowed his brows slightly, "Hm. But mom is busy for now..."
"Mom wants to practice acting, right? Mom, Dad, we also want to." The triplet yelled excitedly.
But Jarek and Tinsley didn't bother asking because they knew that the triplet must have heard them discussing when they were about to enter the room.

Conrad quietly opened the door to see Lillee going through her script with knitted brows, but upon seeing Conrad enter the apartment, she placed her script down and stood up with a calm smile.
"Conrad, how is work?" Lillee asked and collected his jacket. "I prepared your favorite meal." She said with a gentle voice.
"Tiring." Conrad sighed and hugged her gently. His lips slowly moved to kiss her lips, but when Lillee saw that he was about to take it further, she suddenly pushed him away from her.
"You must be hungry, go and wash. I'll be down here waiting for you." She said softly, which made him downcast.
Ever since Lily lost her pregnancy, she didn't give Conrad a chance to touch her. Even though Conrad was able to hold it in, he couldn't last forever, but he didn't think about using harshness because he still held some guilt toward their lost child. He grabbed her hand to say something to her, but she shrugged him off.
Conrad softly lay his head on her shoulder. Had it been Lillee was this understanding of him, all these sad emotions he was feeling wouldn't have accumulated this much.
"Boss, you're crying." Jane separated from him and cupped his cheeks gently.
Even though Conrad wanted to stop himself from crying, he couldn't because he kept remembering everything. Many sad things kept playing in his head. And at this moment, he realized something, Lillee never comforted him; he was the one who was always there for her.
Jane was filled with helplessness, and soon her selfish impulse took over. Without warning, she shut his lips with a kiss.
Conrad's eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
Jane quickly separated from him and stood up with shock and remorse also. "Boss, I'm so...."
Before Jane could complete her word, a delighted Conrad yanked her to his lap and kissed her intensely with happiness. "I have always wanted to do this." He whispered to her with a smile after breaking the kiss.
Jane's face turned red, and she bowed her head to hide it, "Me too." She replied and laughed gently.
