Chapter 418 - 417: I’m Getting Engaged to Him (3)
Did she cry?
Shi Che walked over, his body slightly bent, as his long fingers slowly touched her face and immediately felt the moisture. His hand trembled involuntarily.
She really cried... But why?
Shi Che stared at her with wide, dark eyes, the light slowly moving in his pupils as his heart gently throbbed, bit by bit.
Was she crying over the child they had lost? Or... was it over today’s divorce?
No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Shi Che laughed at himself in self-mockery. How could it be? Why would she cry over these things?
If she truly felt sad, then she wouldn’t have aborted their child and insisted on divorcing him.
Shi Che slowly sat down by the bed. With the faint light coming through from the corridor, he fixed his gaze on Ling Chuxia. She seemed to be sleeping restlessly, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed into a small peak, with what looked like tears still lingering at the edges of her eyes, slowly seeping out. Drop by drop, they rolled down her cheeks, dampening the pillowcase.
Why was she crying? Had she had a nightmare?
A trace of heartache crossed Shi Che’s eyes. His warm fingertips caressed her eyelid, gently wiping away the tears. Then his hand stayed there, moving to her forehead, gently smoothing it until her brows completely relaxed. Watching her peacefully calm face, he couldn’t help but lean in and plant a light, slow kiss on her forehead.
She seemed to feel something, sensing the comforting presence. Gradually, her tears stopped, her eyes and eyebrows slowly unfurled, and she unconsciously rubbed his hand, the corners of her lips lifting slightly.
