All the way home, Caraline couldn't help but smile. The curve of the crescent moon was firmly planted on her beautiful face. Her heart warmed, bursting like fireworks in the dark sky. Although she said nothing after she left, she had no regrets about following Diego's request.Diego had sent her a thank-you note. However, she had no intention of replying. It was punishment for suddenly asking her to take a photo.As soon as she arrived at the residence, Caraline got out of the car. Her eye caught sight of Deric at the edge of the lake. When she realized that he was approaching, she immediately quickened her pace toward the house."I'm not going to let that deformed man ruin my happiness tonight," Caraline said as she entered the house. When she arrived at her room, she immediately threw herself onto the bed.Caraline closed her eyes for a while, enjoying the silence. There was a hint of a smile that managed to escape her lips even though she tried to act casual. She grabbed her cell p

Caraline was eating at the dining table by herself. For the time being, she was focused on finishing her meal. Forks and spoons clashed against each other on the plate. However, when she saw a maid walking toward the kitchen, her attention was instantly distracted. Caraline quickly got up, sneaking out of the house through the back way.Caraline hid in one of the bushes as the maid re-entered the house. She peeked toward Deric's quarters. The man appeared to be grabbing breakfast, then gliding in a wheelchair towards the edge of the lake."What is that annoying man doing?" muttered Caraline as she poked her head out of the bushes. "Is he going to throw the food away?"Caraline chuckled. "He'll have to compensate if he dares to do that."Caraline came out of hiding, walking towards the lake. Her gaze immediately scanned the surroundings, looking for Deric's whereabouts. When she didn't find him around the lake, she hurried to the place where Deric used to exercise.When she arrived at

Caraline arrived at the office half an hour later. She hurried to the elevator to reach her office. Strangely, she felt that some employees were glancing at her. Not only in the lobby, but even some of the security guards were doing the same. They looked like they wanted to say something to her, but when she looked back, they quickly turned their gaze in another direction.Caraline entered the elevator with a question in mind. "What exactly did those people see in me?"Caraline let out a long breath. The woman closed her eyes as she stroked her chest a few times. She had started the day badly enough with the events of this morning. Meeting the damn snake, falling into Deric's arms in a near-kissing position, then falling causing her knees to hurt when walking. For that reason, she didn't want a repeat at the office.Caraline rushed out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened. The woman in the beige blazer and knee-length cotton skirt crossed the office floor with wide strides. She

After lunch, Caraline rushed down to the lobby with Helen. Once outside the building, she saw a car parked. Caraline hurriedly entered the car. "Helen, report to me on today's activities." "I understand." Helen half bowed, then waved as the vehicle began to leave the Mimiline Group building. "Is it possible that Miss Caraline intends to meet with Mr. Diego? And what about Mr. Deric?" Helen shook her head several times. Remembering Deric's name always made her misbehave. For that reason, she chose to enter the building to continue her work. Meanwhile, Caraline quickly closed off access between herself and the driver. She chose to sleep on the way. When she woke up, she found herself in Summertown. Being in this town often brought back memories of her childhood. She grew up here, but success came when she conquered Heaventown. Caraline and her family live in the suburbs. Their lives were poverty-stricken, but she and her sister lived with an abundance of care and love. As Cather

"Miss Caraline," Jeremy said, closing the car door again. "What the""Stop talking and follow my car now," Caraline interrupted. The woman hurriedly entered the car parked not far from the Deric brothers' vehicle. She didn't want anyone to find out she was talking to the three men, let alone the media."What's going on?" James scratched his hair."It seems Caraline has something to do with that handicapped man," Jonathan said."Follow that woman Quickly," Jeremy pleaded. He rushed to the driver's seat, followed by his two younger brothers. "I'm sure she has something important to say."The car was on its way, following Caraline's vehicle. "So what about our plan to sell the MiracleWatch?" asked James with an exasperated look, "isn't that what we came to town for?""Shut up, James," Jeremy pleaded, "we can sell it another time."James chuckled, leaning back against the chair a little harder. To get rid of his annoyance, he preferred to dwell on his cell phone.Caraline's car pulled up

"Oh, my God!" screeched Caraline as she fell to the grass. She could feel the stinging in her leg."A wound like that won't make you give up, will it?" Deric moved the wheelchair forward slightly, bending down to pick up the scattered objects from the box."Don't ever touch my stuff!" Caraline brushed off Deric's hand roughly. The woman picked up the fallen items, quickly returning them to the box. She tried to stand up and unfortunately fell back down."You look like had a pretty rough day," Deric said, "You didn't come to the office with tree branches and leaves in your hair, did you?""Forget about it!" snapped Caraline as she gently massaged her foot. "It's all because of that damn snake! Next time I'm going to have an officer check the whole house.""What did you do there in the morning?" asked Deric, "If you want to exercise, I can accompany you. We can encourage each other."Caraline looked down to hide the blush that was about to burn her face. Images of Deric's activities on

Birds were seen chatting while flapping their wings in the sky. The leaves swayed a few times due to the greeting of the wind, often having to fly to follow the flock of birds. The sunlight was still warm as butterflies flit among the flowers.Inside the room, Caraline was still asleep. Her snoring sounded soft, the effect of yesterday's long journey and search. She was still wearing her clothes from last night, and her shoes were still on.Caraline's body writhed on the bed. Once fully awake, her eyes snapped open and she immediately positioned herself to sit. Her gaze instantly scanned the surroundings."What the... oh my!" shrieked Caraline suddenly."Miss CAraline, are you alright?" asked a maid outside Caraline's room. Three maids were eavesdropping there. They looked both worried and curious."Get back to work!" ordered Caraline. She walked over to the mirror and was shocked at her current appearance. Hair disheveled like a lion's mane, a dull face, and yesterday's clothes and s

"Are you leaving?" asked Deric, who was suddenly behind Caraline.Caraline suddenly stopped. She immediately closed her eyes to control her rapid breathing. With a glance, she saw that Deric was putting on his clothes. Unfortunately, she witnessed it until the man's broad chest was covered by the T-shirt. "I-I'm not going to answer stupid questions.""Thanks for the answer." Deric chuckled."Don't freak me out!" snapped Caraline"Are my smile and my voice creepy?" Deric smiled even though he knew Caraline wouldn't see it, as she had her back to him. "You often say that I scare you. Aside from my smile and laughing voice, what else about me scares you?""Everything about you is scary to me, even your life," Caraline replied."Are you sick?" Deric brought the wheelchair up to Caraline's level. "Your body is tense like a robot. Is it because of my laughing voice?""Did you just call me crazy?" Despite her annoyance, Caraline did not want to turn around. "Don't talk to me anymore!""I had
