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 ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
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 the 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.
Seeing 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.
