Chapter 1071
Although Thirza used to sleep with him often, at that time, Thirza was just a little girl.
Today's little girl was already a big girl, and Steve could no longer treat her as he used to be.
"Thirza, you can't."
Thirza didn't care so much. She had already lifted the blanket and jumped onto the bed. Steve had spoiled her since she was a child. How could he control Thirza now?
But on second thoughts, Steve convinced himself on thinking, "But she's just grown a bit taller. Inside, she's still that little girl."
"I'm thinking too much." Steve shook his head. "As long as I don't touch her, everything's fine."
Just at this moment, Thirza had already moved into his arms.
Her delicate body was tightly attached to his, and there was still a faint fragrance on her body after the bath.
"Thirza, let go of me."
"Steve, I'm scared. I have to sleep in your arms so that the monster won't come into my dreams."
Steve's body was very stiff and he didn't dare to touch Thirza at all.
"Sleep, I'll be here for you."
"You gotta wrap your arms around me, Steve." Thirza rubbed her head against his chest.
Steve turned off the light and Thirza pulled his hands around her waist before she fell asleep soundly.
She slept soundly but Steve didn't close his eyes for a second at all. The room was so quiet that he could hear Thirza's each breath.
Her legs rested on his thighs. Even though she was wearing her pajamas, the warmth of her body could still penetrate the cloth to his body. In such an intimate position, Steve's heart beat faster and faster.
In no time, Steve's got a little tent coming up at his crotch again so he had to push Thirza aside and turned his back to her.
Yet Thirza, as though still conscious even in her dreams, crept back up and wrapped her legs around his waist from behind.
Steve stared at the darkness. Maybe it was because he had always been alone and had no woman around him, so he had such an impulse.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"I should... get myself a woman."
In the past, he wanted to take care of Thirza.
Although Thirza was not his child, he had long regarded her as the most precious thing in his life in his heart.
He had always thought that having a child with him would be inappropriate for whoever he wanted to get married to.
He didn't want to be separated from Thirza either. That was why he had never even considered getting himself a woman.
Thirza had grown up, and maybe she would leave him soon. He should return to his normal life.
The next morning, Steve dropped Thirza at the school before he made a phone call.
"Is it Miss Clemons? It's me. I'm free tonight. I'll reserve a spot at the restaurant you like for us."
Evalyn Clemons was a woman he met in a project he worked on not long ago. She was independent and tough, and had been asking him out for quite a long time.
There were many women who wanted to approach him these years, but every one of them was rejected by him.
However, Evalyn's competitiveness did win Steve's favor and appreciation and he wanted to take his chance with her.
Thirza finished school early in the afternoon, but it was Steve's driver who came to pick her up today.
"Miss, President Xiao has something to do today and asks me to give you a ride. Miss, do you have any other arrangements after school?"
Thirza thought that Steve was working overtime, which was something that had happened before.
"He's working?"
"No, he's out on a date with Miss Clemons. He asked me to take you to dinner as well. What would you like to eat?"
Miss Clemons? Thirza's heart sank. She had a bad feeling about this.
But she still kept a smile on her face. "Is this Miss Clemons a partner of Steve?"
The driver knew that Steve and Thirza were very close so he told the truth.
"She was on a project with Steve earlier but not now. I think they are on a rather more intimate date this time."
"More intimate? As in?" Thirza asked knowingly, hoping that it was not what she thought.
"Well, President Xiao had never had any woman over the years but I think this time since he's taking the initiative, he's making some moves he has yet to make." "Truth be told, I think that's the right thing for him to do. He's in his primes now but not for too many
years."
"You agree with me, eh? President Xiao has always been alone and we all somewhat want him to end that state of life."
He didn't see the slight change of Thirza's face. Thirza muttered to herself, "Are you saying that... they might get married?"
"I can't say that for sure. It depends on fate. If President Xiao likes her, they probably will. But if he doesn't, there's nothing we can do, is there?"
Thirza thought of the scene of Steve and another person's marriage and felt as if her heart was being cut with a knife. "Steve, it seemed that you are not behaving yourself."
"Where are they having this date?" Thirza smiled again.
"Why, Miss?"
"Well, do a little pre-investigation, of course. And to be sure, from a distance."
"Alright, I'll take you there right now."
When Thirza arrived at the restaurant, she saw Steve sitting face to face with a short-haired woman in a black dress.
She somewhat understood why Steve chose this woman. She knew that Steve liked her mother a long time ago.
The reason why he had always been single was that he never truly let go of Tracey and that was the same reason he chose this Miss Tough. Thirza's fingers twisted together, thinking, "There's no way I'll let her be with Steve! No WAY!"
She smiled again. "Steve..."
Steve's somewhat bored face became spirited again when he saw Thirza. "Why are you here?"
Thirza sat down beside him and said, "I came to have dinner. I didn't expect to see you. And this must be?"
"This is Evalyn Clemons, and Evalyn, Thirza."
"I've been hearing all the things about you from Steve, Thirza. You are indeed charming."
Thirza had definitely inherited all the advantages of Tracey and Adam, and her appearance was really amazing. Compared with the pureness of Tracey, Thirza's style was more coquettish.
Evalyn was stunned when he saw
Thirza
the first time. There were
ox Steve had not been in
lovecall this while in order to take care of a little kid.
Although she was just a mere child, Evalyn still had a sense of jealousy arising in her heart.
"Nice to meet you, Evalyn."
Thirza said happily and obediently, "Steve, are you two discussing business? Am I interrupting?"
"No, we are on a date here, man-and-woman kind of date," Evalyn said directly.
Steve frowned slightly. He was not satisfied with her words.
"Miss Clemons, we..."
"Well, even if it's not now, it's just matter of time before we get there, isn't it? It's good that Thirza should come by today so that I could get to know her."
She was not like Lucille, who had been all timid and frightened to express her feelings and plans.
"Is that so? Is it really like what she said, Steve?"
Thirza said, the smile still on her face.
