Chapter 144
"Lydia's." He casually tossed her the name and turned towards the bathroom. Just as jealousy began to rise in Agnes's heart, he added, "She borrowed my phone before, the password was too complicated to remember, so I temporarily changed it. Then I got busy and forgot to change it back."
Is this what you call an explanation?
Leopold glanced back at her, "From now on, you'll be responsible for these kinds of things, okay?" He wanted her to be integrated into every part of his life, to become an indispensable part of each other's lives.
Agnes pouted, "Alright, by the way, when is your birthday?" she asked shyly.
He looked deeply into her eyes, "It seems we are really destined for each other, September 25th."
"What? The same month! You were born twenty days after me. Wait, why didn't you tell me earlier? I didn't prepare any gift for your birthday!" She jumped off the bed, feeling guilty, and hugged his waist without any reservation.
Leopold gently stroked her long hair, a faint smile on his lips, "You did prepare, a passionate kiss."
Huh? Agnes was puzzled.
Although she was reluctant to mention that somewhat awkward past, he still gave her an explanation, "On my birthday, I accidentally let a girl fall into the sea, and when she came up, she gave me a deep kiss. Well, that counted as a birthday gift."
"What? Is that even a thing? That doesn't count." She didn't expect that day to be his birthday, and at that time, he didn't know she was his wife.
"It counts. It was my best birthday gift." He suddenly picked her up horizontally, "It seems you can't bear to be apart from me, so let's take a bath together!"
"Ah! No, no, put me down. I don't have a cleanliness obsession, once a day is enough! It tickles, haha, don't bite my ear." She had already enjoyed an aromatic bath before going out.
Leopold gently put Agnes down, leaned against the door frame, and after a deep kiss, finally let her go.
Inside the room, Agnes blushingly opened Leopold's phone and found the WhatsApp app, clicking it open.
When she saw his WhatsApp nickname and profile picture, she was completely stunned. Even in the shower, Leopold could hear her exclamation, "Leopold, you devious man, you had already added me on WhatsApp but didn't tell me who you were, and still wanted to pursue me."
She opened her Facebook and checked her previous posts one by one. Oh no, she had once called him a scoundrel and posted a half-naked picture of him wrapped in a towel, and even said she wanted to pursue him during his lecture.
This post was something many girls at Lumina City University School of Economics and Management had said, so no one paid much attention, except Grace who teased her a bit.
Moreover, Leopold had pretended to be someone else to get close to her.
That's right! Leopold was the one who had been chatting with her under the WhatsApp name H.
After changing Leopold's phone password to her own birthday, she thoughtfully opened her WhatsApp group and left a message: Men are all insensitive.
Justin: "Which man offended you?"
Agnes asked back, "Do you know what 'men are all insensitive' means?"
"Of course I know! You're the one who's insensitive!" Justin retorted.
Agnes was secretly glad that Leopold didn't use Twitter or Facebook, and wrote in the group, "I accidentally called Leopold insensitive tonight!"
Clara: "And then?"
Agnes: "Then that vengeful Leopold is still asking what 'insensitive' means."
Justin: "And then?"
Agnes proudly recounted how she responded to Leopold and posted it in the group.
Jeremy: "Agnes, how are you so amazing?"
Justin: "We're all in school together, how are you so amazing?"
Clara: "You two stole my words, fine, I won't argue with you, Agnes, how are you so excellent?"
Bella directly sent a voice message, filled with laughter, lasting a full fifteen seconds.
Agnes @ed Jeremy and Justin, "Delete it quickly, or I'll show Leopold and say you bullied me!"
Justin: "Hey, hey, hey, they replied to you too, why don't you @ them? Not fair!"
Agnes sent a smug emoji and @ed Bella and Clara, "They are my darlings, you two are not! That's the difference."
Jeremy: "Agnes, does Leopold know you're bisexual?"
Agnes listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, "When did I become bisexual? Don't talk nonsense, Jeremy, you'll get me killed."
Leopold had already been jealous once tonight, if it weren't for her pleading, she wouldn't have the energy to chat here now.
Justin almost jumped out of bed, wanting to knock on Agnes's door, but could only send a voice message, "If you show off your love life with Leopold again, I'll tell him you called him a bad man!"
At this moment, the bathroom door opened.
Agnes wanted to lower the phone volume, but it was too late. She pretended to be calm and replied to Justin, "Clara actually said Jeremy is a bad man? Jeremy is so nice, Clara, you're wrong."
The other four were collectively speechless.
Before she could finish, the phone was snatched by a big hand.
Oh no, the phone fell into Leopold's hands! What should she do now? She keenly saw Clara also sent a voice message. Leopold glanced at her and mercilessly clicked play, "Agnes, don't drag innocent people into this, Jeremy and I are fine, you better bribe Justin to keep quiet!"
"Um, Leopold."
"Leopold?" Leopold repeated her address.
"No, no, no, honey, honey, honey." Agnes immediately switched to a flattering mode.
He locked her phone, sat on the bed expressionlessly. Agnes immediately jumped into his arms and acted coquettishly, "Don't be mad, those were just things I said before we were together."
Leopold raised an eyebrow, "Is this your explanation?"
Agnes nodded seriously.
Leopold sighed, "Do you think I'm that petty?"
Agnes nodded and then quickly shook her head. Before they were together, Leopold's words were so sharp that she would be scolded every time they met, never missing an opportunity! Until they understood each other's true identities, he seemed to become much more magnanimous, never arguing with her too much, "Of course not!"
She blinked, seeing he wasn't angry, she stopped coaxing him, left his embrace, and lay down with her back to him, continuing to play with her phone.
"Agnes."
"Yes." Why is he calling me in that tone, I haven't heard him call me like that in a long time, it feels a bit awkward suddenly.
