I was still feeling a little nervous around him. Simon had been acting so strange recently. I couldn't help picking up his nervous energy every time I saw him.When he insisted that we needed to talk, the clinic was about to close. I told Willard to take it from there and then put on my coat, and left with Simon. I kept sensing a growing distance between us.He said that he wanted to talk to me. It just so happened that I wanted to make things clear to him as well.It was a little cold, and I was only wearing a thin trench coat. As a gust of wind blew over, a yellow leaf fell on me. I was so cold that I shivered. Immediately after, a warm coat was draped over me, and I saw Simon smiling at me.This was the Simon I knew. His warmth always came unexpectedly and made me feel warm from the bottom of my heart."Mia, come on, let's go eat first," he insisted. "You don't know how annoyed I get going to so many meetings.. At this moment, his eyebrows relaxed into a somewhat playful shape.My m
Fireworks in the SkyAs soon as he finished speaking, I followed his gaze and took in a dazzling display of fireworks blooming in the sky. The explosions against the velvety black sky drummed to the very beat of my heart. It was spectacular and colorful.I was moved to tears as I leaned into Simon. It made me feel like a princess. Sitting in the warm bubble of Simon's embrace, among the clouds I felt like a goddess, as well as the most honored woman in the world.When the fireworks dissipated, the drones were deployed. They formed words in the sky. "Mia, I love you."At this moment, Simon hugged me tighter and whispered those words in my ear, "Mia, I love you."The words were so pleasant to hear and also too heavy for me to bear.My heart beat erratically and my mind went blank. I didn't know what to do. I broke free from Simon and wanted to escape this fairytale of an illusion.However, he quickly pulled me back. His eyes were burning with flames that I had never seen before.He cuppe
*Mia*Locas was getting on my nerves and I decided that he was the person I hated the most right now.He looked at me with that condescending look like I was an idiot."I don't think you need to participate in that exchange meeting. It's just a meeting set up by swindlers. It's worthless other than swindling money from some ignorant people." Locas's hands were in his pockets as if he was some important figure, but his words cut like a knife.What did he mean? Was he implying that I was an idiot? Look at how sarcastic he sounded! Who would have thought that such words would come from the elegant Locas?"You... How could you slander me like this? I've learned a lot about antiques these past few days. I even went to classes when I was free. Willard accompanied me to these classes." If I was wrong, Willard would have stopped me."Willard, tell him, didn't you go to the classes with me? You even accompanied me to the meeting, right?" I could really use some backup.Willard smiled at me. "Ye
*Mia*I was certain that Locas was a lunatic. He drove way too fast. Was he really not afraid of hitting someone? My heart almost jumped out of my chest.I scolded him, but he laughed it off, which was ridiculous.Although the car had stabilized, I could still hear my heart pounding violently. Locas, this desperado, was still asking me if it was exciting! All I wanted to do was to punch him on the head.Pulling out the moon goddess necklace, I muttered, "Noble and holy moon goddess, I think I met a lunatic. What should I do?""Hahaha..." Locas laughed hysterically. I covered my ears in pain.When I saw Locas speaking confidently when he was invited to speak on stage by the organizers at the auction venue, I was secretly shocked.I had always thought that he was just an ignorant, incompetent, and cheeky fellow. I didn't expect him to put away his cynical side and behave like a gentleman.His every move exuded the elegance of a noble.I heard two girls discussing behind me. "Is this Sail
"What?" I was stunned. Before I could react, Locas' lips were on mine."What are you doing? Is this the interest I should pay you?" I reacted."Your lips don't taste bad. I've been brooding over something these days," he said as he leaned over me again, pushing me back and kissing me again.There was an unlocked door behind me. It creaked open, and I almost fell.He caught me as I fell, his lips never leaving mine as he led me into the room. While turning around, he kicked the door shut with his foot, pushed me against it, and kissed me hard on the lips.He was so strong. Although I had kissed him before, this kiss was almost suffocating. I really couldn't breathe.To regain my breath, I had to open my mouth wide. His tongue and even his lips entered my mouth. His kiss was so passionate, almost desperate, like a man in a desert craving for water.Under his possessive kiss, I was drained of all strength and could only let him lead me...He made the world spin around me with just his kis
I didn't know how I got home that night. I didn't remember falling into bed or when I fell asleep.I was woken up by the ceaseless knocking on the door. My head hurt a little. I remembered that Sofia seemed to have said that she was coming to my house today. It was probably Sofia.But didn't she have my house key? Why did she knock? It was so noisy.I went to open the door in my pajamas with ruffled hair and puffy eyes. Unexpectedly, the person at my door was Locas with red eyes. Taking in his appearance woke me up instantly. His hair was messy, and he hadn't even shaved. He was holding a box in his arms... How could he be so down and out overnight?Hmph, what did his downfall have to do with me? I raised my hand and was about to close the door when he pressed against the door and stopped me from closing it.I hardened my heart and walked back into the house, not talking to him again.Locas followed me into the room and placed the box on the table. "Mia, your vase. I've repaired it for
*Mia*There were very few patients in the fancy hospital that Locas was in, and his private room was in an area on the top floor blocked entirely from outsiders.After Ade left, everything was quiet and still.Seeing that Locas was sleeping, I quietly walked to him. I had never seen him so quiet. His eyelashes were thick, and his face was well-defined, as exquisite as a sculpture. Only then did I realize just how good-looking he was.In the past, every time I met him, I would bicker or get angry with him. Now that he was lying there quietly, I looked at his pale face and lips, thinking, 'Locas, get better quickly. It doesn't matter if you bicker with me or make me angry again.'I could see from the pallor on his face and lips that he was weak.It was all because of me. If it hadn't been for him repairing that forgery, he wouldn't have hurt his vitality so much that the bad guys had a chance to take advantage of it.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cry, touch his face, and whisper,
*Willard*I thought it would be Mia and me alone in the kitchen, but she stopped Simon, who had yet to walk out of the kitchen. "Simon, you're not allowed to leave either! Come and help. This will be faster. We used to be good partners in the kitchen."Simon patted Mia's head dotingly, saying that he would stay.Since Mia said it, I couldn't reject him either. The fantasy of us staying alone was shattered and broken by his attendance."Mia, help me whip the cream.""Simon, pass me the salad dressing.""Hey, the egg tarts are done. Turn off the oven, Mia."They were so familiar with each other. It seemed that they had worked together like this more than once."Who's going to cook the mussels?" Simon asked."I'll do it. How about steaming it?" I finally found a little leeway in their close cooperation."But I want to eat creamy mussels..." Mia said weakly.Creamy mussel, but I didn't know how to make it at all. I was a little disappointed and too embarrassed to answer her."But it's fine
