“Please be honest, Sir! You actually hesitate to continue our relationship. Secretly, you are cultivating hopes of getting close to Miss Johnson,” Mia sighed in a slicing voice. Julian had to hold his breath to ease the pain.
“Therefore, stop making up senseless lies. Do what Mr. Herbert wishes to get the best daughter-in-law. Accept your matchmaking with Miss Johnson!”
Instead of answering, Julian got up from the chair. With slow motion, he began to bend his knees in front of the girl. Witnessing such an unexpected thing, tears suddenly stopped flowing.
"What are you doing?" Mia asked in a low and depressed voice.
"I beg you ... forgive me," Julian said with head down. “Forgive me for taking the wrong step.”
Shaking her head, the girl sighed. "Don't beg me. I'm not the God."
“But my life depends on you, Mia. I won't be able to breathe without you,” the man argued with eyes that were almost overflowing with emotion.
After a mom
With eyes that never stopped shedding tears, Mia repeated her sincere statement. “I'm sorry for being selfish. I only think about my own feelings, without knowing that you suffer more.” Hearing his lover's wail, Julian's annoyance suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pity that was no less stifling. While letting out a faint sigh, the man finally moved to the empty space beside the girl. "Mia," he called, touching the shoulder that was shaking violently. "I'm sorry, Sir," the girl repeated the words, hiding her face in the shadow of her head. She was embarrassed to show the wrinkles of the eyebrows or the red nose. Gently, Julian cupped his lover's cheek. Slowly, he brought her gaze to meet his eyes. "I am alright. As long as you don't run away from me again, I'm fine," the man nodded reassuringly. “But, I have gone too far, Sir. I was the one who caused all these misunderstandings, but I was also the one who made the fuss. I came this f
Seeing the girl contemplating, Julian let out a faint sigh. He realized that his words had spoiled the excitement. “Hey, you don't have to worry, Mia. As long as we are together, no one will get hurt. Even if that villain attacks, I can definitely defeat him.” "Are you sure? The villain is very strong and his body is … much bigger than yours,” the girl said, shrouded in doubt. While stroking his lover's hair, Julian tugged at the corner of his lips. "Do you know that man's power can be doubled when he protects someone he loves? I have you, while the villain has no one. I certainly win over him.” "Is that true?" Mia sighed as if in disbelief. "Yes, you can find articles about the proof on the internet," Julian said lightly. Not wanting his lover to dissolve into anxiety, the man took a deep breath and exhaled quickly. "Isn't the air here very fresh?" he asked, turning the conversation around. "Yes. I feel my lungs are getting cl
As soon as he entered the hotel room, Julian rushed to check every corner of the room. Carefully, he made sure that no one was hiding there, including in wardrobe, bathtub, and behind curtains as well. The balcony overlooking the mountain also did not go unnoticed. After the inspection was over, he locked the door and propped it up with a chair. “Should we continue this stressful journey? It doesn't feel like a vacation at all,” the girl mumbled as she dragged the suitcase to the side of the wardrobe. A small frown had lodged at the base of her brow since Gabriella's video call ended. “Nowhere is safe, Mia. Even if we return to Quebracha, we won't be focusing on work either. Anxiety will definitely hinder our performance,” Julian said while stroking the secretary's arm. After taking a deep breath, trying to quell the restlessness that weighed on her heart, the girl nodded. "Right," she sighed disappointedly. Insecurity was still lingering at the bottom of her
"Are you cold?" Julian whispered while pulling the blanket over their bodies. A second later, the girl in his arms shook her head and tightened the hug. "No. I'm never cold when I'm around you." "But we spent too long in the tub," the man mumbled with guilt. "It doesn't matter. That's fun,” Mia said, before smiling. She never thought that she could talk casually with the CEO. "Is that so?" the man sighed while rubbing his lover's arms so that they were no longer cold. "Good." While taking a deep breath, Mia reviewed the memories that had been milling about in her mind. "Do you still remember all that Mr. Max and I did?" the girl asked after failing to count her pranks. "Of course. I wonder why you wanted to obey Max's orders," Julian said, half grumbling. "Because it's fun," Mia answered unexpectedly. The girl managed to make the heavy eyelids lifted to the maximum. With an expression of disbelief, the man asked
As soon as she opened her eyes, Mia was immediately greeted by the empty side of the bed. In a few blinks, the girl lifted her head and started looking around. After checking in several directions, she finally found her lover, pensive in the chair facing her."You woke up so early this morning, hm?" Mia asked hoarsely. Even though her eyelids were still heavy, she kept pushing her head up from the pillow.Getting the unexpected attention, Julian gasped. As soon as he saw the girl smiling at him, the man also raised the corners of his lips. "Yeah, I woke up and couldn't sleep anymore.""Since when?" Mia inquired while looking at the clock on the wall."An hour ago," the man answered, glancing at the same direction.Wrinkling her eyebrows, the girl got off the bed. After a few steps, she arrived in front of Julian and gently rubbed the man's puffy eyes.“Are you really unable to sleep or on purpose to be on guard? You must be overshadowe
“No wonder Mia cares so much for Sebastian. Turns out, they are indeed close," Julian thought behind the flat expression. With a sigh, the man looked up at the green hills that lined the grass. Once again, the sight that should have invited admiration, failed to catch his attention. The glass windows that were installed along the carriage seemed not big enough to satisfy the CEO's eyes. "Isn't this view mesmerizing?" Mia whispered while leaning her head on the man's shoulder. In an instant, Julian forced a smile and rubbed the hand that was not bored perched on the crook of his elbow. "Yes. This is very refreshing,” the man said using logic. “If Cayden comes here, he will definitely run through the meadow chasing the sheep. Or maybe, he'll roll over and overwhelm his mother," the girl muttered before smiling sweetly. Witnessing the happiness of his lover, a sense of guilt rose in Julian's heart. He should have enjoyed the trip. But why
“Wow,” Mia sighed as she couldn't take her eyes off the pyramid-shaped mountain with the blanket of snow on top. "Isn't that very beautiful?" the girl muttered, pressing her palms against the glass wall in front of her."So, how is it, Mia? Is that mountain exactly the same as the one in your favorite chocolate packaging?” Julian whispered while wrapping his lover's back with his body."Yes," the girl nodded with teary eyes. “The person who initiated it must be very intelligent.”While chuckling, Julian kissed his lover's head. "Are you looking forward to going up there?""Yes. Looks like, tonight I won't be able to sleep because I'm so enthusiastic," the girl replied with eyes fixed on the pointy peak of the Matterhorn.“How about we postpone our departure to Gornergrat? Tomorrow morning, we'll go straight up there," Julian suggested. In a sudden, Mia turned to face him."Are you serious?" the girl
With trembling hands, Julian showed the contents of the small box to the girl. After taking a deep breath, reducing the nervousness that tickled his heart, he said, “Mia Sanders, getting to know you is the happiest thing in my life. I hope you don't mind being the reason I smile in the morning, excited at work, and pounding at night."With teary eyes and a mouth that was confused about what to say, Mia shook her head in disbelief. Not knowing what to do, the girl finally let out a short breath and tilted her head, looking at Julian with compassion.“I know this proposal is a little late. But, I want you to know that Julian Evans really wants to be the best man for you. I'm willing to be anything to make you happy. A man who is romantic, caring, brave and reliable. I will always try, Mia.”Seeing Julian's sincerity, the girl sighed faintly. Her chest was congested with a very thick happiness.“Are you asking me to serve you every ni
