Chapter 1331
Calvin slightly pursed his lips and then looked at Hanna who was in a mint green dress at the moment. The green accentuated her sun-kissed skin. Her rosy cheeks and round eyes, combined with that light smile on the corner of her lips at the moment, gave Calvin a sense of kinship.
Looking at Hanna, Calvin felt that the tension that troubled him just now seemed to gradually disappear.
“Not bad,” Calvin said.
“Okay, then I’ll have this one,” Hanna said and then went back to the fitting room to change her dress.
When Hanna walked out of the fitting room again and was about to pay the bill, the saleslady said, “Your boyfriend has already paid for it.”
“What?” Hanna looked at Calvin in surprise. “Thank you. I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“No need, since we’re dating now, I should at least buy you something as a gift. Take this dress as a gift,” Calvin said.
But the problem was that they were just pretending to be a couple!
Calvin turned around and walked out of the store. Hanna hurriedly caught up with him with a bag in her hand. “I don’t think it is necessary. We have an agreement. I pretend to be your girlfriend while you serve as my model for painting, so you don’t have to help me pay the bill.”
Hanna paused and continued, “If you are really my boyfriend, then I won’t think too much if you buy me a dress as a gift because it is common for couples to exchange gifts. But that will not work in our relationship. If you buy me the dress I like today, you will naturally want to buy me other things I like in the future. For you, this money may be only a small part of your wealth, but if I keep receiving your gifts, then I may have an illusion that you really like me and think we are really a couple.”
Calvin understood that Hanna wanted to draw a clear line with him. If it were someone else who pretended to be dating him, Calvin thought that person might want to get more benefits from him, but Hanna seemed to be different.
But if Hanna was the same as others, maybe Calvin wouldn’t have a whim to ask her to pretend to be his girlfriend.
“Okay, I see. It won’t happen again,” Calvin said. “You helped me this time, so just take it as a gift for your help.”
“Well… Okay.” Since Calvin had said so, Hanna wouldn’t argue with Calvin about that.
They walked to the parking lot outside. Hanna saw Calvin’s car at a glance.
“Hey, your car is over there…” Before Hanna could finish her words, she found her hand was grabbed by Calvin’s hand all of a sudden. The next moment, she fell into Calvin’s arms.
“C-Calvin?” Hanna was stunned and instinctively wanted to push him away, but Calvin tightened his hug a little.
“Don’t move.” Calvin pressed his lips against Hanna’s ear.
Although Hanna was confused, she stood still as Calvin said. She gave up the attempt to push Calvin away.
“Hold me.” Calvin’s voice sounded in Hanna’s ear again.
“Huh?” Hanna was stunned. “H-Hug you?”
“Yes, hug me as if I’m your boyfriend,” Calvin said.
Hanna hesitated for a moment. She then slowly stretched out her hands and wrapped her arms around Calvin’s waist.
Hanna thought, “What a narrow… waist!”
As soon as Hanna wrapped her arms around Calvin’s waist, she began to envy Calvin for having a narrow waist. She felt that a lot of women would envy a man with such a narrow waist. Although she felt it across the clothes, she could more or less feel that there was no fat on Calvin’s waist.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs… Hanna suddenly began to think about what it would be like if she drew Calvin on paper a character in comics.
Hanna thought, “It… It must be alluring!”
The more Hanna thought about it, the more excited she felt. Initially, she was in a daze when Calvin asked her to hug him, but now, she could hug him naturally. She was immersed in that feeling until Calvin said again, “It’s okay.”
“Huh?” Hanna said in a daze and was apparently immersed in her own reverie.
“It’s okay now. You don’t have to hold me anymore,” Calvin said in a husky voice.
Hanna suddenly realized what Calvin meant. She thought, “Heck! I was fascinated by that hug just now!”
Her face suddenly turned red. She withdrew her hands. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s me who should say sorry. I hugged you all of a sudden just now,” Calvin said.
“Is the friend you met today nearby?” Hanna is not stupid. She guessed the reason for Calvin’s sudden intimate behavior.
“Yes,” Calvin answered and then let go of Hanna.
“Is Rosalie your friend who used to work in that pasta restaurant?” Hanna suddenly asked. It was a woman’s natural intuition that led her to such a conclusion.
Calvin paused slightly and looked at Hanna coldly with his deep eyes. “You’d better not inquire about those you shouldn’t.”
In an instant, Hanna only felt that this man who was originally elegant and a bit indifferent seemed to be dangerous as if the problem she asked about just now was a certain taboo, or that woman Rosalie was a taboo.
At this moment, Lillian was driving the car out of the parking lot. She said, “It’s unbelievable. Calvin really has a girlfriend. But that woman Hanna looks different from those women who were trying to get close to Calvin.”
Rosalie was silent as if she was thinking about something.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you always hope that Calvin could let go of his feelings for you which he developed when he was still a child and start a new relationship?” Lillian looked at Rosalie who was silent at the moment and said.
“If only they were in a real relationship,” Rosalie murmured.
“Why? Do you think they are in a fake relationship?” Lillian asked in shock. “I don’t think so. If it’s a fake relationship, Calvin could go to find a beautiful actress or a woman as elegant and beautiful as an actress. Isn’t this more convincing?” Lillian murmured.
Although Hanna looked a little lovely and kind, she was not that beautiful. If Calvin wanted to make others believe that he was in love, he should choose a beautiful woman.
“Besides, when we were in the parking lot just now, we secretly saw Calvin hugging his girlfriend as if they were talking about something intimately. I think Calvin liked Hanna very much,” Lillian said.
“I hope I think too much,” Rosalie said, but she felt uneasy for no reason. After all, when she and Calvin met last time at the bookstore, Calvin smiled and said, “Rosalie, I will let go of my feelings for you and move on.”
It was something not long ago. But now, Calvin had a girlfriend all of a sudden. Rosalie thought, “He said he would move on that day. Now he’s met a woman he loves. Is it really a coincidence? Could it be…”
