Chapter 144 He'd been seekingout more than a few times, but this time, he actually showed up at my doorstep. "What's it this time?" "I agreed," he said, those few words throwingoff a bit.

Agreed to what? "Agreed to date you, be your temporary boyfriend," Ernest clarified.

Remembering how he had turneddown before, I was taken aback. "What made you change your mind?" "If I didn't, you'd just go on these crazy blind dates, and do you really want to be followed hagain like today?" Ernest's tone started with resignation but ended sharply.

In the dim light, seeing his unwilling yet compelled expression, I couldn't help but find it amusing. "Doesn't this go against your wishes? Won't you be unhappy?" Ernest seemed to catch the teasing in my voice and took a step closer, promptinginstinctively to step back until the railing stopped me. I had nowhere to go.

His arm reached out, trappingagainst the railing, and in an instant, my breathing quickened. "Ernest..." "Going on blind dates, are you really that naive?" His voice was close to my ear.

It tickled my ear and sent a shiver right through my heart.

His words were scolding, yet filled with an endless doting tone.

I didn't move or speak.

Ernest and I fell into silence again, but this tit was different. I was pressed against his chest, clearly hearing the thud of his heartbeat...

After a while, he finally withdrew his arm. "Coming halone this late, don't do it again." "Oh," I obediently responded this time.

Then, something occurred to me. "Thank you." Thank you for showing up to savetoday, and thank you for agreeing to be my boyfriend, helpingdeal with the Wagner family and Conrad.

He didn't respond, and unsure of what he was thinking, so I gestured upstairs. "I'm going home." But just as I took a step, I heard him say, "That guy has already tracked here, who knows if he'll cback?" Right, what if that guy returns? "I won't leave tonight," Ernest suddenly said, then reached out his hand to me.

"For what?" I was completely lost.

Ernest: "Keys." My eyes widened. "You want to stay at my place?" "What else? You wantto sleep at your doorstep?" Ernest countered.

I couldn't argue with that. He added, "It's not like we haven't shared a room before." True, we had shared a room before, and it was safe.

I handed him the keys, and we went upstairs together, entering the house.

As the door closed behind us, he said, "I'll sleep on the couch." I glanced at the decade-old couch, barely a meter and a half long. How could Ernest, with his height, possibly fit?

This house had another room, but that was my parents room, and in e.

couldn't let him stay there. "You should sleep in my room. I'll take my parents'," I said, setting down my bag and pulling out a pair of my dad's old slippers from the closet.

It's been ten years. I wasn't sure they'd still the be good, seeing that ent given out.

Ernest didn't make a fuss and took the slippers. I went to my bedroom to sure grab my pajamas, making sure therewas nothing inappropriate before I left the room for him.
