Chapter 354 Delivering Male Beauty in the Middle of the Night
On the other end of the phone, Juniper's mind momentarily froze.
She parted her lips, still organizing her thoughts to ask, when Magnus's steady voice came through the phone again—
"In about an hour, I can be at Skyville. Send me the exact location of the hotel."
She held the phone, dazed for a while, without responding.
Magnus called her name, "Juniper?"
Juniper quickly responded, took the phone away from her ear, and sent him the exact location and room number of the hotel.
From the phone, there was a faint sound of a car driving.
Juniper suddenly remembered something, "Isn't Paul with you?"
"It's already the early morning. If I called Paul, it would delay me by at least forty or fifty minutes."
Paul lived in the old town.
Magnus's Royal View was in the suburbs of the new town, quite a distance away.
Juniper's throat inexplicably tightened, "Can you see the road clearly? Isn't this too dangerous?"
"This car has an autopilot system, it's not a big problem."
His voice was as calm as ever, as if this action was very ordinary.
But actually, this action was quite crazy.
With unclear vision, driving alone to Skyville in the early morning to find her, not calling Paul to drive because it would waste time.
Juniper bit her lip, her eyes slightly warm, "Magnus, I just had a nightmare."
"I know."
"Actually, you didn't have to drive over. Even if you had to come, you could have taken a flight during the day or had Paul drive over."
This time, Magnus was silent for a few seconds.
When neither of them spoke, there was a very faint static sound passing through the phone.
Magnus chuckled lightly, his voice soft yet indulgent, "Don't you need me now? If I wait until daytime, you won't be sad anymore, so why would I come?"
Juniper's hot tears fell onto the blanket.
Only they knew the weight of those words.
When she had a miscarriage in Solara, when she needed him the most, he wasn't by her side, so now...
She gently sniffed, "Then drive safely."
Magnus heard the change in her voice, "Are you crying?"
"No."
"Juniper, if you're really touched, how about giving me some extra points?"
Juniper was very moved at first, but when she heard the word "points," she couldn't help but laugh through her tears, "So, you're just trying to get extra points?"
Magnus was just saying it casually, whether he got extra points or not wasn't important, he just wanted to make her happy.
Juniper wasn't heartless.
She asked, "How many points do you want?"
Her attention was diverted, and she felt much more relaxed.
He suddenly said in a deep voice, "You set the rules for extra points, you decide, whether to give them and how many, it's your right."
"Juniper."
"Yes?"
"When you needed me the most, I wasn't there, but I won't be absent anymore. So now, every time you need me, I will do my best to come to you."
Every word Magnus said was clearly and firmly conveyed.
Juniper's throat tightened, she bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time.
When she spoke again, her voice was tinged with a nasal tone, "Magnus, if coming to me requires you to take many, many steps..."
"As long as you nod, as long as you're willing, I'll take all one hundred steps, you just need to stay where you are and wait for me."
He didn't even need her to take a single step.
As long as he knew Juniper was willing, he was willing.
Juniper raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and said softly, "Drive carefully, don't drive too fast, I won't talk to you anymore."
The phone stayed connected.
Juniper didn't say much after that, afraid of distracting him.
Around five in the morning.
In the winter night of Skyville, it was still pitch black outside.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the hotel room door.
Hearing the noise, Juniper dropped her phone and quickly got up.
She was about to unlock the security chain.
But after the Shadow Syndicate kidnapping, she was more cautious and asked, "Who is it?"
"Room service."
The moment Juniper opened the door.
A familiar tall male figure leaned in.
Her lower back was suddenly tightly embraced by a large hand.
The cool, faint scent instantly enveloped her.
Magnus leaned down, his high nose brushing against hers, and chuckled softly, "Opening the door for room service this late?"
Juniper's eyes were wet and bright as she stared at him, "I knew someone wanted to throw themselves at me, delivering male beauty in the middle of the night."
She had recognized his voice in no time.
Magnus held her waist, and they stumbled into the room together.
Magnus kicked the door shut.
His eyes behind the glasses held a playful smile, "A free handsome man delivered to your door, want to enjoy it?"
Juniper hadn't spoken yet.
Magnus already instructed, "Help me take off my glasses."
Juniper was only wearing disposable slippers, and there was a significant height difference between them.
Using the strength of his arm around her, she lightly stood on tiptoe and took off the glasses from his nose.
Magnus asked tentatively, "A kiss?"
Almost the moment the glasses were removed, Juniper felt a tight grip on her lower back.
That burning kiss fell forcefully.
Not giving her a chance to resist or think.
Juniper was almost drowning in the kiss.
After being apart, the longing felt like countless tentacles, making her heart itch unbearably.
The kiss wasn't gentle; on the contrary, it was too deep.
Juniper was almost suffocating, limp in his arms, her hands clinging to his shoulders, trembling from the kiss.
Her once clear eyes were now covered with a thin layer of mist from the kiss.
In the dim light, she looked up at him.
"Magnus..."
"I know, I won't do that."
He had already restrained himself, just resting his forehead against hers, looking at her for a long time.
Without the glasses, his gaze was even more intense, like erupting lava.
Just looking at each other like this, Juniper felt her heart pounding.
Her ears gradually turned red.
Juniper lowered her gaze slightly, just about to say something, when her body suddenly felt light.
Magnus had already lifted her by the waist and legs, carrying her to the bed.
Juniper wrapped herself in the blanket, the burning on her face slightly subsiding.
She placed the glasses on the bedside table, "Didn't you say wearing glasses makes you dizzy?"
"It does, but I can bear it."
There was a clear smile in his eyes.
He was teasing her.
Juniper reproached, "Liar."
Magnus pulled her into his arms, his long fingers pinching her cheek, looking down at her, "Still scared?"
Juniper leaned against his chest, playing with his well-defined hand, and shook her head, "Not scared now, but a bit cold. Does room service include warming the bed?"
