Chapter 242

Chapter 242 He Controlled Himself

Becky waited for Devin to come back.She was not left with many options considering how quicklyhe had left.

After all, Devin had sent her back.She couldn't just leave like this.She wanted to thank him.

Soon, Devin returned holding some items in his hands.

Devin scooted into the car and passed Becky a bowl of Oden.

"I hope you're hungry."

Becky was very hungry.

She didn't eat right away because she was distracted by a boiled egg Devin was holding.

At first confused, Becky soon understood what Devin wanted to do.

Devin placed his palm on Becky's forehead.

His touch was warm and gentle.

He put his hand over the place on her forehead where she had hit it.

Becky noticed that Devin held the hot egg in the other hand while his free hand was on herforehead.

"Doesn't that burn?" she asked.

"It burns."

He admitted it honestly and without hesitation.

Each time one palm turned cold Devin switched it off for the warmed-up hand.

Becky realized his palms were turning red.

Devin noticed her silence as he looked over at her.

"Are you moved?"

It sounded like a casual question and was said with a smile in his eyes.

Becky knew better and could see through his relaxed attitude.

She decided to be a little rebellious with her answer.

"I dare not move at all."

"Then you'd better behave and stay still."

Devin often coaxed her as though she were a little kid.

It was rare for Becky to be playful or rebellious.

Today, she went with the feeling and slightly moved her head despite Devin's firm instructions.

Devin caught her movement and slid the hand on her forehead down to cover her eyes.

Becky felt oddly comfortable even though she was suddenly sightless.

Her eyes went hot.

She closed them beneath Devin's palm.

Devin's heart fluttered when he felt Becky's eyelashes brush against his palm.

He gazed down at her red lips and knew all he had to do was lower his head to kiss her.

Despite his desires, he controlled himself.

He was going to take things slow with her.

His heart had been invested in her for so many years.

Devin uncovered Becky's eyes and continued his process of placing the warm hand on Becky'sforehead.

Becky opened her eyes and could see the tender way Devin looked at her.

She averted her gaze as her body froze for several moments.

Neither Becky nor Devin spoke for some time.

She finally began to eat the Oden.

The loud noises that surrounded the car stayed on the outside.

Inside the car was exceedingly quiet.

Two minutes into the silence, Devin began peeling the egg.

"Do you want it?"Becky declined.

Egg yolk was not something she liked to eat.

Devin glanced over at her and knew what he should do.He reached into the bag and separated theegg white from the rich yolk.He handed Becky the white only.

Becky was shocked that he knew she didn't like the yolk.

"How did you know?"

"My cousin hates egg yolk too.I took a wild guess you were the same," Devin replied.

Becky sighed.

She gladly took the egg white.

"Thank you."

Her hunger was extreme ever since she had the surprising car accident.

Ona normal day, she never would have eaten the egg white.

When Becky finally finished eating, she put the bag with the egg yolk into the Oden box.

In a flash, Devin grabbed it.

"I didn't say I hated egg yolk."

He ate the yolk in one mouthful.

Looking at him, Becky thought of the way she ate the egg white.

She didn't take the bag off and neither did Devin.

Becky felt increasingly embarrassed the longer she reflected on it.

She decided to stop thinking about it.
