So hot, too hot.
Cherry Evans Evans felt like she was burning up, only to have her entire body suddenly turn ice-cold. A sharp, intense pain spread throughout her body.
In the quiet room, a sudden scream rang out, jolting Cherry Evans awake from her nightmare.
She had been having these dreams for several years now. She was single, without a boyfriend, and had not been intimate with anyone. It was baffling.
Why did she keep having these dreams?!
At the entrance of the evening banquet in Jasper City, an exhausted Cherry Evans Evans walked on, her thoughts weighed down. Her thesis had been rejected by her professor again and with graduation season approaching, Cherry Evans felt flustered and restless.
Suddenly, a small figure bumped into her.
Cherry Evans came back to her senses and looked at the adorable little boy in front of her who had a reddened nose from the collision, angrily looking at her.
Tagging along was a simple, wheat-colored Labrador, wagging its tail and looking at her.
Her heart instantly melted.
The little boy who looked about three or four years old, craned his neck to look at her and unhappily said, "Who are you, don't you watch where you're going? I am very valuable, you can't afford it if I get hurt!"
He heard from his uncle that his despicable father, Jerry, was attending the evening banquet again. The banquet was renowned for its women.
He was afraid that his father would succumb to temptation due to loneliness and be hooked by those women, giving him a stepmother. How could he deal with that?
Don't think he doesn't understand just because he is young. Is there a good life for a child under a stepmother's care?
He used up all his strength, equivalent to the power of nine cows and two tigers, and escaped from his villa, carrying his precious pet to find Jerry.
Before he even found him, he was hit by this woman who walked without looking. How could he not be furious?
"Oh, I'm sorry little guy. I was walking properly. It was you who bumped into me," Cherry Evans hurriedly replied.
"Are you sure that it was me who bumped into you? Am I that stupid?"
Yes, indeed. Little boy, you might look a bit silly and cute, but it's incredibly adorable.
It's melting my heart!
"Well, yes. However, I won't blame you, little one. You're very young. Why aren't you with your parents?"
"I don't have a mother, and my father is still out chasing women. I'm planning on catching him red-handed! Preventing a potential stepmother at the door!"
"Pfft..." The agitation in Cherry Evans's heart was suddenly smoothed. This little boy in front of her was ridiculously adorable, giving her a very special feeling.
She couldn't help but want to kiss him and hug him - it was strange. She had never had this kind of thought when she saw the neighbor's children before.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Little guy, you shouldn't enter such a place; it's messy and not suitable for children. Where's your home? I'll take you back."
Suspicion arose in the little boy's eyes. The young lady in front of him didn't seem like a bad person. His distaste for vulgar and pretentious women couldn't be triggered by her. On the contrary, there was an urge to get close to her.
Especially when looking into her clear and bright eyes, seeing his reflection in her pupils, he felt something strange.
The urge to not let this woman go so easily grew within him.
A pair of big eyes spun rapidly, "I don't remember where my home is."
"Do you remember your family's contact details?"
"I don't remember that either..."
Cherry Evans couldn't help but worry, "This is quite tricky..."
"Why don't you take me home first? My dad will find me. He's very competent... Every time I run away from home, he finds me within three hours at most."
Could this really work?
