âUnfortunately, Iâm traumatized by having a relationship.â Doris looked at the vast night sky. Her fingers were playing with the edge of her thin sweater, âI just want to focus on work and earn enough money to raise my two kids.
ââ¦â Waylon paused for a while before saying slowly, âThe journey of life is long. Itâs not bad to find a companion at the appropriate time.â
âYou mean you want a companion?â Doris tilted her head and looked at him with a tease.
âMe?â Waylon dodged her sparkling eyes, and he said with a faint smile, âIâm not lonely, and I donât need a companion. Itâs good to be alone.â
âAre you still thinking about braided hair?â Doris mocked him, âYou should try to find that girl. Maybe you will find her?â
âYou are boring.â Waylon rolled his eyes at her, âTold you itâs a dream. Where am I supposed to find the person from the dream?â
âBut this dream seems to affect you for many years.â Doris said, âYou are still single probably because of this girl. But according to the description of your dream, this girl should have either married or become an old lady.â
Old Lady?
Waylon thought. A woman in her twenties with two braided hairâ¦
Why does it feel silly?
He couldnât help laughing, then he replied, âWho knows.â
âWhoever woman you find in the future, she must be very blissful.â Doris looked at the stars and said longingly, âYou can cook, can take care of kids, have a good family background, and have a decent temperament.â Except for the fact that you will criticize harshly.
âHa.â Waylon was amused by her, âI donât feel like the person you are talking about is not me.â
âAm I not right?â Dorisâ eyes were sparking under the starlight, âArenât you the one who can cook?
Arenât you the one who can care for kids? Arenât you the one who has a good family background? Your temperament isnât that great, but it isnât that bad either, right?
Where these flatters were exaggerated, Waylon liked them very much.
He couldnât help smiling slightly Doris had been looking at him. Although he wasnât smiling at her, her heart still skipped a beat.
I have to admit that this man is perfect in all aspects. Just a faint smile in the dark can charm me to death.
Feeling Dorisâ gaze, Waylon initially wanted to turn around and ask, âWhat are you doing?â
But when he looked at her pretty face, especially the eyes reflecting the streetlight in the dark, Waylon couldnât help being stunned.
This angle makes this woman so gorgeous.
And⦠she even gives me the feeling of Emmeline!
Waylonâs heart skipped a beat too. He became flustered at that instant.
Doris recollected her thoughts first. She got up and said, âShould we get back and check Nessaâs condition?â
âYeah.â Waylon also finished smoking the cigarette. He walked over to the roadside garbage bin, extinguished it, and threw the butt inside.
When they returned home, Mrs. Flores whispered, âNessa is sleeping well now. I fed her some warm water, then her forehead was sweaty. The fever is gone.â
Waylon and Doris changed their slippers and gently walked into the kidâs room.
Nessa was indeed sleeping soundly. Her little face looked normal with no sign of fever.
They walked out of the kidâs room, then Waylon said, âShe is fine now. Feed her more water tomorrow.
You can add some sugar into it.â
âGot it. Thank you,â Doris said softly.
âDonât mention it.â Waylon said, âIâll go home now. You and Mrs. Flores should rest too.â
âWe will.â Doris nodded, âI wonât see you off. Drive slowly.â
âOkayâ Waylon was holding the medicine box while changing shoes on the porch.
