Chapter 10
Maine was trapped in Jimmy's villa, which didn't even have a bus.
She propped her small head and looked out the window. If it weren't for the presence of this dangerous man, it would be nice to stay here to see the blue sea and blue sky, and breathe the fresh air.
When she ran out of the Lincoln's house, she didn't even bring a any clothes. She had a fever yesterday, and then she covered it all night and finally sweated. Now her body is better, but she feels sticky and uncomfortable.
The man was taking a shower in the bathroom, and she was confused as she listened to the rushing of water.
She has been absent from school for two days. She doesn't know if the old woman counselor will hold her accountable and count her absenteeism.
Soon, the bathroom door opened——
The man was only wrapped in a white bath towel. His chest was white with water, and he was still moistened with water, and he walked over here with his two slender and straight legs.
Maine's ears were flushed and her face drooped quickly.
The man said, "Go take a shower."
Maine muttered, "I'm not sweating."
"You got wet with sweat last night, didn't you feel it?"
"...I dont' feel uncomfortable."
"I don't like dirty kids in our house, go and wash them."
Maine cried, "...Uncle, let's talk about business."
The man raised his eyebrows, "Business? Tell me, what about business?"
The little girl whispered tentatively, "For example, if I go to school, then, if I miss school, I will fail the semester and Grandpa and I will be unhappy."
The man’s slender fingers pressed on her sides, enclosing a small narrow space, “I called your counselor and told her that you are sick and taking a rest at home for a week.”
"..."
Maine's speech was choppy and distressed and the man's breath was too close with a clear fragrance.
"Uncle, you, stay away."
Her little hand pushed his close chest.
The man licked his thin lips, but he moved closer, his nose almost touching her nose, Maine's eyes lost their focus.
She heard his low voice, "Why? Are you afraid I can't hold it?"
Maine was in a state of confusion, and she was really not this man's opponent.
The small body suddenly slid down from the window sill, slipped out of his armpit, slipped to the side, shrugged her shoulders and said, " Uncle, I'm leaving!"
The man turned around in no hurry and looked at the back of her about to leave——
"The door needs my fingerprints to open. Do you think you can walk away?"
Maine was stunned, as if he had been splashed with cold water from head to toe.
She was helpless, and the man looked happier.
He patted the back of her head, and ordered, "Go wash, our house doesn't welcome dirty children here."
The little girl curled her mouth and thought--
It's not pleasing! Who told him to like her?
Maine did nothing but was pushed into the bathroom by him.
After a while, there was no movement inside, and she poked her head out again, hesitating her face and said, " I have no clothes to change..."
The man flipped through the document in one hand, frowned slightly, with a look that hadn't changed for a hundred years, he didn't care at all, and said lightly, "Well, then don't wear anything."
Maine, "..."
