Chapter 1516 Hug Me Too
Johanna had put on her shoes and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. “My sweater.”
Timothy went upstairs to help her get it.
Two minutes later, he came down empty-handed and said to her with a somewhat embarrassed expression, “I
accidentally left toilet paper in the washing machine, and it got all over the sweater during the wash...”
“Just throw it away, then,” she replied. It's not like it's a one-of-a-kind sweater. If it gets ruined, I can just buy
another one.
As he personally opened the door to see her out, he said, “Jojo, my cousin is having her wedding reception at
Langfield Hotel next Monday. Could you help me choose an outfit on that day?”
“Which cousin?” Johanna was somewhat puzzled.
She and Timothy had celebrated six New Year's together, and they always had the annual feast with Timothy's
father. If his father's older brother happened to return to the country, the dinner would be a more lively affair with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe addition of a few more people. However, she had never seen Timothy visit any relatives on his mother's side
during New Year's.
“She's the daughter of my third aunt on my mother's side. She used to work abroad, but I'm not sure where. She
met her husband, who is also from Jadeborough, and they've returned here to get married. My aunt called me a
few days ago to tell me about it,” he said.
Timothy did not bother explaining much to Johanna, simply adding, “This aunt is my mother's older sister. I have to
attend her daughter's wedding.”
She murmured a reply, then got in the car and left.
After arriving at the studio, she took out her phone and sent a message to the person she had interviewed
previously, informing him that the studio would be opening next Tuesday and to start work that day.
Then, she crouched in front of the wall and busied herself until it was dark outside. When she finally washed her
hands and picked up her phone again, she saw that she had received a message two hours ago.
The other party tactfully explained that since the studio's renovation had taken too long and he had not seen any
magazines writing about her, he had submitted his resume to a well-known design studio a while ago.
Johanna was not angry as she replied to the person's message. Although we verbally agreed on everything, we
didn't sign a contract. If he doesn't want to wait and chooses to work elsewhere, that's his prerogative.
After posting a new job advertisement on the recruitment website, she locked up the studio and went home.
Having had a hearty meal at the mansion in the afternoon, she was not very hungry and just had some fruit when
she got home.
She was drenched in sweat after doing some yoga and was about to take a shower when the doorbell suddenly
rang.
Johanna peered through the peephole and saw Timothy outside. She stood puzzled for a few seconds before
opening the door. “Didn't we just see each other this afternoon?”
“Asel sent me. Your darling daughter wanted you to have a peaceful night's sleep, so she asked me to deliver
something to you.” He handed her a paper bag as he spoke.
“All right. Thank you,” she replied, taking the bag.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that she was ready to close the door, he took the initiative to give her a gentle hint. “Jojo, I've come all this
way to bring that to you. Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of coffee?”
“It can't have taken you more than ten minutes to get here by car,” came her reply. “And besides, you don't even
like coffee.”
Timothy frowned at how heartless she was. Then, he said in a considerate tone, “You've been busy these past few
days, so I won't bother you anymore. I'm free all day next Monday. You understand, right?”
“I know. You want me to pick your outfit. You reminded me when I was leaving this afternoon.” She wanted to laugh
when she saw him like that.
“So, should I leave now?”
“Mm-hmm.”
While she was distracted, he suddenly turned around, cradled her face, and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.
He caressed her cheek with his long fingers, fixing his gaze on her. His voice was low and deep as he said, “Don't
always hug Asel only. Next time, hug me too, okay?”
The pair stood at the door for a while. Then, she brushed his hand away. “Be careful on your way home.”
Timothy hummed in acknowledgment before leaving reluctantly.
After returning to his car, he did not leave. His car was parked facing Johanna's bedroom. Looking up, he could see
the light in the bedroom was on and guessed she was either taking a shower or on a video call with Asel.
