The CEO’s Pet Cat

Once back in her room, Mia fell back to sleep, never wanting to think about what she would face next.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I don’t know how long she had been drifting off to sleep, but Mia felt a person gently shaking her, and she struggled to open her eyes, only to see a figure looking deeply at her.

“Asher, what’s wrong with you?” Mia desperately shook her groggy head, trying to clear it.

“I knew you’d think of me as my oldest brother now.” The figure in front of the bed spoke up, but it was Liam Jun, his tone thick with loss.

Mia shuddered and immediately sobered up, her voice shaking slightly, “Shao, Liam, what are you, what are you doing here?”

Then the light came on, and Mia saw Liam Jun, dressed in the same clothes he’d been wearing at the hospital just days before, his hair disheveled as if he hadn’t combed it in days, a beard on his chin that hadn’t been shaved in days, and bloodshot eyes that were staring sullenly at her.

“You must be very unwilling to see me?” Liam Jun’s voice had a depression in it, his gaze bleak, “You know, how I’ve been looking for you for the past few days?”

Mia felt a pang of guilt and looked at Liam Jun uneasily, “Liam, let me explain, I …”

“I woke up, found you gone, thought you’d been taken by Grandpa, went to his place and made a big fuss. And then used all my connections to turn almost the whole city upside down, do you know how desperate I was?” Liam Jun sneered and said, “I came here to check on old brother with hope, but I didn’t expect it, haha … It seems that I’m the only one who’s a fool!”

At the end of his laugh, Liam Jun’s face actually slowly crawled with tears, and the bottom of his ink-black eyes filled with disappointment.

“Liam, I really didn’t mean to keep it from you at the time, I just, just …” Mia was filled with guilt but couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.

Even if she had a reasonable explanation, how about the fact that she had already failed Liam Jun’s love for her, and her explanation now was intended to make Liam Jun still pine for her?

But does she have the capital now?

Thinking about it, Mia slowly lowered her eyes and face, not going to explain any more

“You’re just what? You’re not over Asher at all, even after all he did to you, even after he caused you to miscarry your baby, you still love him, right? And because you love him, you’ll actually go back to him, right?” There was hysteria in Liam Jun’s words.

Mia remained seated quietly, with no intention of speaking again. Since Liam Jun misunderstood her now, let the misunderstanding continue until he slowly forgot about her.

It was impossible for her to hold another person in her heart now!

And if Liam Jun does get over her, how is that a good thing?

Seeing that Mia didn’t retort, Liam Jun’s heart became even more desperate, “Well, I know now that from the beginning to the end, I was just a clown, all you cared about was my brother, never me! At the hospital, when you were close to me, you only mistook me for my brother. Do you know that even when I knew it was fake, I wanted to believe in my heart that it was real. Haha, I’m so stupid …”

“Liam, don’t be like this, I don’t deserve you. You’re good, go find another good girl and forget about me!” Mia finally tilted her head up and slowly said to Liam Jun.

Liam Jun’s words pierced her heart like a needle, making her feel incredibly guilty. Even if, she was going to hell later, why bother haunting this irrelevant person?

Liam Jun froze and looked at Mia for a long time before he finally laughed miserably, “Hahahahahaha, looking for a good girl, hahahaha … well well well, I knew you would say such things and yet I came to you, hahaha, I’m a joke! ”

After laughing for a while, Liam Jun gave Mia one more deep look before stumbling out. Even though he had walked a long way out, Mia seemed to hear his sad laughter.

“Liam, I’m sorry for you!” Sighing softly, Mia hung her head slowly, it might not be a bad thing if this way Liam Jun could forget about her.

Next, the night grew thicker, sleepiness swept over Mia, and she couldn’t hold it together, finally drifting off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Mia, who had always been a light sleeper, was awakened by the sound of the door opening and she sat up with a jerk, only to find Asher walking into the room without a word.

“What’s wrong with you? Your face doesn’t seem right.” Looking at the gloomy-faced Asher, an ominous feeling inexplicably rose up in Mia’s heart.

Asher didn’t say anything, just grimaced and began to remove the clothes from his body.

“You, what are you doing Asher, you won’t …” Seeing Asher’s movements, Mia faded backwards in panic, the pain of having just lost her baby making her fearful of Asher.

Asher’s hand, which was just about to unbutton his shirt, jerked to a halt, and his dark eyes fixed on a frightened Mia, saying in a sibilant voice, “Don’t worry, I just want to hold you and sleep, nothing more, don’t be afraid.”

Mia didn’t say anything, just wrapped herself tightly around her body, her face full of alarm.

There was a long silence.

“Okay, so you can’t move your hands.” After a long silence, Mia finally nodded.

When Mia said yes, Asher instead buttoned up his shirt and then lay down next to Mia in peace, extending his long arms and holding Mia’s soft body tightly in his arms for a long time without saying a word.

Sensing Asher’s strangeness, Mia buried her small face into his arms, snuggled into his broad chest and asked in a muffled voice, “You don’t look right today, did something happen?”

Asher didn’t say anything for a long time, and just after Mia thought he wouldn’t answer, he muffled the question, “Do you think that I, that I’m not a proper brother?”

Not expecting Asher to ask such a question so violently, Mia froze for a moment, backhanding Asher’s waist with her small arms, not saying anything for a long time.

“Growing up, we brothers always got together less and less, Liam was always in America and I didn’t take care of him properly.” Liam Jun buried his face into Mia’s hair and took a deep breath, “Even when he came back later, I never gave him a good look …”

I don’t know if it was Mia’s fault, but she always felt that Asher’s voice was surprisingly thick with guilt.

“Since you know all that, then treat Liam well in the future, don’t always have a dark face.” Sensing Asher’s confusion and abnormality, Mia’s voice was unusually soft, which was putting the feud between the two aside.

Asher hugged Mia tighter, “I’m like that too, I just don’t know if I have a chance!”

“How come there’s no chance of that? As long as you stop blacking out and be nice to Liam.” Not understanding exactly what the sadness in Asher’s tone was about, Mia had to do her best to comfort him.

Asher didn’t say another word, just held Mia tighter in his arms.

Mia waited a long time for Asher’s answer, but the sound of even breathing came to her ears, and she realized that Asher had fallen asleep.

Asher had never talked about Liam Jun, but what was wrong with him tonight? Could it be that he found out Liam Jun had come to see her?

After thinking for a long time without coming up with an answer, Mia finally couldn’t resist the drowsiness that was coming over her and drifted into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the early morning sun shone softly on Mia’s body.

She frowned and finally opened her eyes. Turning to look towards the other side of the bed, she saw that it was long gone, Asher was long gone!

Mia frowned and sat frozen for a moment, finally freshening up hastily before lazily making her way downstairs. According to usual habits, Asher would have been able to go to work by now, and she would definitely still be eating breakfast alone this day.

“Miss Luo, you’re up, hurry up and have breakfast!” After seeing Mia come down, the housekeeper hurriedly got up to greet her, with a hint of unnaturalness in her voice.

Noticing the butler’s strange appearance, Mia slowly sat down at the table and stared closely into the butler’s slightly red eyes as she spoke up and asked, “Butler, what’s wrong with you, you don’t look right to me.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine Miss Luo, I’m fine, you’re looking away, just got something in my eye earlier.” Wiping his face quickly, the butler still didn’t look quite natural and kept avoiding Mia’s eyes.

Seeing how the housekeeper didn’t say anything, Mia knew she wasn’t going to ask anything, so she had to stifle her breakfast, “Okay, housekeeper, I won’t ask, you don’t have to be nervous.”

No sooner had Mia’s words left her lips than she heard the phone in the living room ringing like a hyperventilator.

The butler ran over to pick up the phone and after listening to a few words looked at Mia who was eating breakfast with difficulty, “Miss Luo, Master wants you to answer the phone.”

Hearing that Grandpa Jun was looking for her again, Mia couldn’t help but shake her head at the butler. In fact, even if she didn’t answer the phone, she knew what Grandpa Jun would be looking for her for.

“Master, Miss Luo she can’t answer the phone right now …” Seeing Mia shake her head, the butler had to timidly say to the phone.

Not knowing what was said again over there, the butler shuddered uncontrollably and nodded desperately, then turned his head helplessly to look at Mia, his face full of pleading.

“Butler, you don’t have to be difficult, I’ll take the call.” Jerking to her feet, Mia strode towards the phone, taking it from the housekeeper with a trembling hand, intent on receiving a new storm.
