Page 31 of Dr. Billionaire Playboy

Even when the kids asked if we were together, I couldn't understand why I turned red or got flustered.

I wanted to kiss her again, but maybe I was misinterpreting her signals.

I didn't want to admit it but maybe…

"Could it be that the great Adam Hunt has finally fallen in love?" Hannah teased.

Me?

In love?

Nah, I'm not in love… I just…

"You have beautiful hair," Lillian said as she stroked Crystal's hair, "Adam, see."

I reached for her hair, but as Crystal turned to look at me, my hand dropped.

"I'll take your word for it, Lillian," I said.

Crystal looked disappointed as she turned away. I didn't understand this woman.

What exactly did she want me to do? I didn’t get it at all.

I wanted to understand what she was thinking, but she wasn't giving me the chance.

She was softer now in approaching me, so that was somewhat of a good sign. Maybe if I dug a little deeper, she could give me a hint.

And then it was time to leave.

I couldn’t remember the last time I'd been to my house, since I either slept in the office or at a hotel with the woman of the day.

I found my house lonely…maybe because it was.

Could that have been another reason I started womanizing?

To fill the loneliness?

The more I thought about it and I remembered her conversation with me in the office, I still felt that pang of humiliation.

In her eyes, I was nothing more than a playboy.

And I wasn't worth her time.

But still… even if there was a little chance… a tiny slip up.

Just something I could work with.

Anything that could get her to drop her guard around me again.

Anything to let me kiss her again.

I'd take that chance.

As we were about to leave, I offered her my hand, "Let's walk together then."

An act of faith I guess… there was a high chance that she'd ignore my hand and stand on her own, but I left my hand out.

And she accepted it.
