Chapter 61: Take Good Care of You (2)
At ten o’clock in the evening, the two returned to their home in Moon Villa.
Helena went into the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower.
When she came out, she picked up the hairdryer and was about to blow-dry her hair.
Willis, having finished showering in another room, came over to her, took the hairdryer from her hand, and offered to help her blow-dry.
Helena smiled, “My left hand is almost fine now, I can do it myself.”
Willis, with a stoic expression, gently pressed her onto the small sofa nearby and calmly said, “I just want to take good care of you.”
His words were full of tenderness, and combined with his cool and restrained appearance, it didn’t sound cloying at all. On the contrary, it was particularly enticing.
A warm feeling surged in Helena’s heart, and she said, “Thank you.”
Willis plugged in the hairdryer, raised an eyebrow, and casually remarked, “We agreed to support each other, so there’s no need to thank me.”
Helena smiled.
She liked the idea of supporting each other, which felt stronger and warmer than just being polite.
Although Willis was a big man, he was surprisingly gentle while blow-drying her hair. At first, he seemed a bit uncertain about the pressure, but soon enough, it felt even more comfortable than when Helena did it herself.
After drying her hair, the two went to bed.
Helena had taken a nap in the afternoon and couldn’t fall asleep now. She simply closed her eyes, nestled in Willis’s arms, and missed her grandmother.
Willis knew she was feeling sad. He gently patted her, like comforting a child. Before long, he actually managed to lull Helena to sleep.
Seeing her breathing steadily, he lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and whispered, “If you dare to call for ‘Jay’ in your dreams again, I might just spank you.”
Perhaps it was the change of environment, but surprisingly, Helena didn’t have any more nightmares.
The next morning, when she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw Willis leaning on his pillow, looking at her with tender eyes, seemingly in a very good mood.
She curved her lips and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because you’re beautiful.” He reached out to touch her face, his voice as gentle as if it were mixed with moonlight.
Helena felt something was a bit off about him, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
After freshening up, the two went downstairs.
A rich breakfast was laid out on the table.
In addition to various exquisite pastries, there were several bowls of nourishing soup, emitting a fragrant aroma, making one’s appetite soar.
Willis said, “I had the hotel staff deliver this. You haven’t had a proper meal in days, so eat more.”
He was so considerate, and Helena felt even more reluctant to let him go.
Perhaps what her mother said was true-without making an effort, she might regret it in the future. She didn’t want to lose him.
After finishing breakfast, Willis had to go to the company.
He picked up his watch and put it on his wrist.
As usual, Helena helped him tie his tie.
Her most skilled asset was her hands, and she tied the tie quickly and beautifully.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After tying it, Willis suddenly pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and admonished, “Stay at home as much as possible; the world outside is chaotic.”
Helena became more and more convinced that something was wrong with him. Why was the world outside chaotic?
It’s not like it’s a wartime situation.
Moreover, they had a driver, a robust and strong man who doubled as a bodyguard. One phone call, and he would be at their service.
She smiled, “I still need to visit the museum.”
Willis raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t you take bereavement leave?”
Helena was speechless and had to say, “Alright then.”
Willis hugged her but refused to let go. He lowered his head, gently rubbed her nose, and kissed her ear.
It seemed a bit intimate.
He resembled a man deeply in love.
Helena felt a little puzzled.
He wasn’t usually clingy like this. What happened today?
No, it seemed strange since last night.
She was about to ask when Willis suddenly brushed her earlobe with his lips and softly said, “I really want to shrink you, so I can put you in my pocket and take you wherever I go.”
