Chapter 234 Thief
When the door of the lift slid open, as if he was enchanted by something, his legs brought him to
Gianna’s door When he arrived at the door, he was stunned in place, wondering what he should do
now. Am I really going to do something to her? His reason was persuading his heated brain to go back,
but his longing toward her were like vines that wrapped around his legs, causing them to become as
heavy as lead while he stood at her door without budging.
Just one look! I’ll go back after taking a look at her! But…
Raising his hand, he glanced at his watch. It was 11.30PM, and she might have already gone to bed. It
was very late now, so what excuse should he use to get her to open the door for him?
When he was still caught in his thoughts, her door was suddenly opened. Looking at the person

to the alcohol, was now completely blank. He didn’t expect Gianna to open the door all of a sudden.
Now, how am I going to explain the reason I’m standing at her door in the middle of the night-instead of
being asleep-while being as drunk as a skunk? Gianna was puzzled as well. She didn’t know why she
suddenly opened the door. After putting her child to bed, she intended to return to her room to sleep,
but she seemed to have heard some sound outside, so she opened the door without thinking-it was as
if something inexplicable had led her to do so.
It was just that she found it rather awkward to suddenly meet his gaze. Before she gave herself time to
think, an instinctive question escaped her lips. “W-Why are you here?” Silas thought about it and
answered, “I wanted to come and visit South, but I was afraid that you guys were asleep. You opened
the door when I was still hesitating on whether to knock on the door. Why are you not asleep yet?” The
same question was thrown back to her, which left Gianna stunned for a moment. She then looked at
him and replied, “I heard some noise at the door; I thought that it was a thief.” She had a shadow of a
smile by her lips and a mischievous glimmer in her eyes. He loved how playful she looked currently.
“Why did you open the door when you suspected that it was a thief? Were you granting entry to the
thief?” Looking at him slightly lifting his chin, the gloominess she had experienced today seemed to
have disappeared at that moment. With a hint of provocation and mocking in her eyes, she uttered,
“What is there to be afraid of? I wonder who would be the victim after the thief comes in! After all, I’m a
thief acknowledged by you!” Standing at the door, he lowered his eyes and peered at her with both his
hands in his pockets. He found that his mood, which had been depressed for the entire day, was
suddenly brightened up by her few words. “Yeah, some thieves steal money, but some steal hearts.”
Gianna was rendered speechless by him. Is he not going to get over this? “And you are the most skillful
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthief.” The man’s low and husky voice sounded strangely enchanting, causing her heart to flutter
uncontrollably. Feeling a little annoyed, she looked at him and asked, “Are you drunk?” He peered at
her with a hint of aggrievement on his eyes, but he meekly nodded. “Yeah!” She said, “I’ve never seen
a drunk person admitting that he is drunk.”
He replied, “Before I saw you, I didn’t think that I was drunk; but after I saw you, I think that I’m rather
drunk. Otherwise, how would I get you to care about me?” His pair of deep eyes twinkled, but his
cautious tone made the listener uncomfortable. Hearing that, she felt a lump in her throat. She then
flirtatiously glared at him. “When have I ever not cared about you?” He didn’t answer her, yet his pair of
eyes reflected his answer-today. She thought to herself, I haven’t even blamed him for leaving so
suddenly, which caused me to reflect on myself for a day. She reached out her hand and pulled him in.
“Come in!”
