Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Chapter 24 – Don’t Leave Me



Nobody would ever be able to understand the pain she had to go through and how she has never stopped grieving over the death of her family members.

Tonight’s incident has hit the most vulnerable spot in her heart and she had no choice but to find comfort in the man who is sitting next to her.

Stephanie Ruan felt a sense of security as she held on to him and cried uncontrollably in his arms.

Seeing that she is behaving in such a manner, it really came to him as a shock…

Prior to this, Javier Zhong had the impression that this woman is someone who showed no weaknesses at all!

But after witnessing this scene… it has undoubtedly changed the way he looks at her now.

“…”

With Stephanie Ruan grabbing his jacket tightly as though she is holding onto her lifeline, Javier Zhong could only look at her with a complicated gaze.

He slowly rested his hand on her back and patted her gently, in a rhythmic manner.

It seems to him that no matter how strong and independent Stephanie Ruan portrays herself to be, deep down inside, she is still someone who yearns to be protected.

After a very long time, her crying became softer and softer. Stephanie Ruan then unknowingly fell into a deep sleep in Javier Zhong’s arms.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

It could be due to the fact that she has already exhausted all her energy for the day!

When they finally arrived at the entrance of her apartment building, Javier Zhong saw that she is still sleeping well and decided not to wake her up.

After all, she had been through quite an episode earlier…

Javier Zhong personally carried Stephanie Ruan all the way up to her doorstep and rang the bell.

Since he had appeared at her house before with Isaac Wen, he noticed at that time that Mia Xue is also living with her.

“Who’s that??” Mia Xue tapped on the smart tablet that is hung on the wall – just beside the main door, and looked at the live video recording to check who this person is…

But never would she have imagined herself seeing Stephanie Ruan lying in Javier Zhong’s arms!

Mia Xue wasted no time and hurriedly push open the main door, “Director Ru…”

However, just one cold stare from Javier Zhong is more than enough to silence her mouth and not speak another word.

“…”

After giving him the directions to Stephanie Ruan’s bedroom, Mia Xue could no longer control herself and immediately rolled her eyes at him.

“What was that?? I mean, why should I be afraid of him?! He isn’t even my boss!!” She consoled herself and immediately regained her confidence.

Thereafter, Mia Xue hurriedly followed behind Javier Zhong, just to keep an eye on Stephanie Ruan and to make sure that she is safe!

After all, she does not know what this evil man would do to her boss!

It’s better to be safe than sorry!!…

But as soon as Javier Zhong entered the room, he used one of his legs to push the door shut, right at Mia Xue’s face!

She immediately grabbed the door handle and tried to push it open… but she didn’t expect herself to be just half a second late!!

“!!!…”

How dare he!! Does he really think he owns this house??!!

Argh!!!

Stomping her foot in frustration, Mia Xue vowed to complain about his poor attitude to Stephanie Ruan the next morning!

Over in the room, Javier Zhong walked towards her king-sized bed and placed her down gently.

Just as he wanted to get up and leave, Stephanie Ruan did not let go of him!

Instead, her hands that are wrapped around his neck had pulled him forward towards her.

This action of hers has totally caught Javier Zhong off guard, which resulted in him losing his footing and ultimately falling on top of her body!

Not only that… he quickly realised that his lips have also accidentally landed on hers!!

“!!…”

In fact, her lips are so soft and sweet that he could not help but remain in a daze for a few seconds.

Being unaware of the current situation, the woman below him showed no reaction and continued to sleep soundly…

Javier Zhong then pushed himself up from her and had intended to leave the room immediately.

But this time, Stephanie Ruan held on to his arm and begged him pitifully, “Don’t leave me… please don’t leave me… please…”

“…”

Guessing that she must be having a nightmare, Javier Zhong did not shake her hand off him. Instead, he pulled a chair from nearby with his other hand and sat down beside her bed.

“No… no… don’t…” Stephanie Ruan tightened her grip on his hand as she continued to sob in her sleep.

“It’s okay, it’s okay now…” Javier Zhong leaned closer to her face and whispered these words to her.

As though she had heard his coaxing, Stephanie Ruan soon stopped her gibberish talk.

With his hand gently rubbing on hers, he thought to himself, “How tiring must it be for her to carry on living her life as though nothing had happened…”

After all, witnessing her family members’ death is not a scene that you could just forget and he could totally understand why she has been struggling with this trauma of hers.

Especially when he was also right there with her…

Yes, you heard that right!

He was that young man whom she had met when the accident happened!

The next morning, Stephanie Ruan woke up with a soft yawn. With her eyes still closed, she first stretched out her hands upwards, and then sideways…

As soon as she opened her eyes and sat up, she is shocked to find Javier Zhong sitting right in front of her on the sofa, with a newspaper in his hands.

“Wait… what is he doing here in my room??!” She thought to herself in dismay.

Without any hesitation, she quickly checked her clothes only to see that it has already been changed??!

To be honest, the last thing she could recall was herself crying pathetically in Javier Zhong’s arms…

But as for changing her own clothes… she really did not remember herself doing so!…

“??!!…”

“Ahhhhh!!!!!…”

With her mind already running wild, Stephanie Ruan screamed at the top of her lungs and threw a pillow directly at Javier Zhong’s head!
