Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Trevor caught the panic in Lianne’s eyes, and his heart suddenly beat faster. He carefully mulled over Lianne’s words. She said that as long as she liked the guy, the guy’s personality wouldn’t matter. He stared straight at her. Lianne panicked even more and took half a step back. “Boring, unromantic, old-fashioned, and thick-headed. You’re okay with a guy like that?” Trevor asked. Lianne’s ears turned red. She felt bitter, thinking that Trevor already had someone he liked, so why was he asking her all that. She felt a lump in her throat and replied, “Yes, anything is fine.” Her voice faltered. “As long as… I like the guy.” Feeling terrible, she said, “Trevor, are you sober now? My brother might be waking up soon. I’ll go back and check on him. I won’t see you off then. Drive carefully on the road.” She left in a hurry. The next moment, her wrist was grabbed. She looked up at Trevor in surprise. Trevor looked at her closely. Her eyes reddened. She felt that she was such a loser! “Lianne, you don’t have anyone you like. How about me then?” Trevor suddenly asked. Lianne’s eyes widened and her mouth trembled. “Wha…?” “I like you!” Trevor mustered up the courage to confess. For the first time in his life, he liked a girl and confessed to her for the first time. No one knew how nervous he was right now. His life as a child was miserable. After personally witnessing his adoptive parents being hacked to death, he was saved by Julian. After that, he received treatment and avenged his adoptive parents. Julian was afraid that he would get himself into trouble, so Julian sent him overseas to study. After he came back, he opened a detective agency and a boxing club. He was very busy. There were also girls learning boxing in the club, and girls often confessed to him. He was a straightforward person. He would reject them directly and not waste their time. Lianne was the first girl he liked. “What?” Trevor just confessed to Lianne. She thought she was hallucinating. Her heart beat faster as she looked at Trevor with bright eyes. “I like you!” Trevor said. Lianne was so surprised that she did not know what to do. Her eyes turned red. “I… Umm…” The next moment, she was kissed by Trevor. Trevor saw the light in Lianne’s eyes. He could not control himself at all. His actions got faster than his thoughts. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips. Sensing her clumsy response, he became even more eager. People have more ways to intoxicate themselves than just alcohol. It was indescribable how wonderful it was to kiss someone he liked. He felt excitement, joy, excitement, and satisfaction all over his body. All the cells in his body were getting excited and cheering. Time seemed to have stopped. The kiss also became long. Lianne’s entire body went limp. Trevor pulled Lianne into his arms. He looked down at her. Her eyes were red. He didn’t know if it was because Lianne was too excited or because she had also drank. Lianne’s eyes were also red. She was excited. She no longer avoided his gaze like before. Instead, she raised her head and looked at Trevor. She looked at him and asked, “Trevor, is your mind working okay now?” She was afraid that Trevor was drunk and had mistaken her for someone else. Her voice was a little hoarse and her breathing was a little unstable. What she looked like at the moment almost made Trevor lose control. He looked down at Lianne, focused and gentle. “Yes, my mind is extremely clear. Lianne, I like you!” He reached for her hand and pressed it against his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat. Lianne’s heart, which had finally stabilized, started beating crazily again because of Trevor’s actions. Excitement, joy, happiness… She felt like she was 17 again all of a sudden, young and innocent. She liked someone purely because it was that someone. “Will you always like me?” she asked softly. There was a hint of apprehension in the depths of her eyes. He clearly knew that people should live in the present. However, she just wanted the moment to last forever! She would think of her mother’s bitter life and Jared’s betrayal. She was afraid that Trevor’s feelings for her were just a spur-of-the-moment thing. She was three years older than him. She was already 26 years old this year. She was almost 30 years old and would soon look worse for wear. He was only 23 years old. In another 10 or even 20 years, he would still be considered at his prime. Her rationality and emotions clashed violently. The moment Trevor said he liked her, she wanted. to just be like a moth flying into a flame. “I’ll always like you!” Trevor looked into Lianne’s eyes. Seeing the tears in her eyes, his heart tightened slightly. He understood her. He knew what she had been through. He knew she was apprehensive and insecure. He knew that all her aloofness and toughness were just an act. They were just there for her protection. She knew that her mother’s failed marriage and death had a huge psychological trauma on her. When it came to relationships, she did not dare to trust someone easily. He hugged her, kissed her forehead, and said to her, “From now on, I’ll protect you.” Lianne did not say anything. She reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. “I really hope that time will stop at this moment forever. Only when everything stops can it last forever, right?” She thought. Trevor said again, “I will always protect you!” “Have you thought it through?” Lianne looked up at Trevor. “Okay.” Trevor looked down at Lianne with a gentle gaze. “I’m 26 this year,” said Lianne. Trevor patted Lianne’s head. “You’re at your most beautiful time.” “You’re only 23 years old. I’m older than you.” Lianne was worried. Trevor held Lianne’s face with both hands and let her look at him. He said gently, “An old and boring soul lives in my heart. I don’t know romance or gentleness, but I will always protect you.” “I’ll be old soon,” said Lianne. “Everyone will grow old. What I like is not only your appearance, but also your kindness, integrity, and courage. When your hair turns grey, you will still be my little girl.” Trevor said. Lianne sniffled and tears rolled down her face. “Don’t cry.” Trevor quickly wiped her tears. “Okay,” Lianne replied and hugged Trevor’s waist tightly. She thought to herself, “I don’t care if you’re gentle or romantic. I just want you to be my only one.” “Tomorrow, shall we meet my parents?” Trevor asked. Lianne was shocked. “That… that fast?” She was happy. Talk was cheap, she preferred actions. Meeting his parents was the greatest sincerity and approval of their relationship he could show her. She was just a little flustered, afraid that Trevor’s parents wouldn’t agree. After all, she was older than him. She was almost 30 years old, and he was only just beginning to understand what it was like being an adult. Most people would hope that their son would find a younger girl. “I want to settle down as soon as possible. I’m afraid you’ll go back on your word,” Trevor said. Lianne smiled and rebuked, “That won’t happen.” “Why would I go back on her word? “As long as you say you like her, I would be willing to fly into a flame like a moth.” She thought. “Shall we go watch a movie?” Trevor asked. Lianne nodded in Trevor’s arms. Trevor looked at the hair on Lianne’s head. Under the street lamp, her black hair looked alluring. His lips curled up in satisfaction as Trevor held her hand. Trevor finally got himself a girlfriend!
