Caraline got off the wheelchair step in a hurry, positioning herself half with her back to her two annoying cousins. Her face was contorted in annoyance as her fun was ruined by the sight of their ugly faces."I never invited you to this place at all," Caraline said."Didn't I tell you the news about me and Wilson coming?" replied Catherine with a faint smile, glancing at Deric."You should welcome us, Caraline," Wilson replied with both hands in his pants pockets. The man looked at Deric with a dismissive gaze.Catherine surveyed the surroundings. "This house is too nice for someone like you."Caraline smiled slightly when her gaze accidentally met Catherine's. "I know you're just jealous, Catherine. If you wanted a house like this, you could have just whined to your father like you've been doing."Catherine laughed. "Yes, you're right. My father would be happy to grant all my wishes. Then what about your father? Can he do it?""My father never taught me to be a baby who can only whi

Caraline snorted in annoyance when she saw Catherine and Wilson shamelessly entering the house without her permission. It was annoying, especially since they were interrupting her time with Deric."Not bad," Catherine said as she scanned the surroundings. She glanced at Caraline who was now on the steps of the stairs. As expected, her arrogant cousin stopped walking, then turned towards her."I expected you to be surprised to see this house, Catherine," Caraline said with her arms folded in front of her chest. She descended the stairs with graceful movements. "For someone who grew up in a luxurious environment, you have a poor response. You act like a country bumpkin who has just stepped into the city.""Unfortunately, I don't want to hear your life story right now, Caraline," Catherine replied with a roll of her eyes. She had to admit that this house looked elegant and pleasing to the eye. Although she had to admit, the Wattson family residence was superior from every angle. However,

Caraline scanned her appearance in the mirror. Her slender body was clad in a dark blue knee-length dress with matching shoes. Her face was polished with simple makeup, but it exuded more beauty than usual.Caraline took a deep breath, swaying left and right. Even though she looked so perfect, there was still something she felt was missing. Caraline moved to the collection room, then back to the mirror."I'm going to surprise Deric by wearing the earrings he gave me," Caraline said with a faint smile. The woman made an exasperated face as she put the earrings on her ears. What a coincidence that the jewelry was the same color as her current outfit. "Deric should thank me for wearing his cheap gift."Caraline took a few steps back, smiling when she saw her appearance. "I... look perfect."Caraline picked up the small bag on the dressing table, then glanced at her watch. It was already five minutes past seven in the evening. After checking her appearance one last time, she hurried out o

Wilson chuckled in annoyance when he realized Deric had caught the glass perfectly. His teeth chattered until his hands were clenched tightly on his thighs. He certainly did not accept Caraline's treatment. "Teach the woman next to you some manners if you don't want to see her in trouble.""That goes for you too, Wilson." Caraline sat down with a half-drop, making an exasperated face."To be honest, I'm impressed with your quickness, Deric," Catherine said with a faint smile. She tucked her hair behind her ear with her gaze fixed on Deric."I'm pretty confident with my hands," Deric said.Wilson chuckled, laughing dismissively. "You are a pathetic man.""But not as pathetic as a man who dares to hurt a woman with his weak hands."Wilson gave him a sharp look. "You are a loudmouth. Just because you managed to catch that glass doesn't mean you'll look great in front of me. To me, you're still a pathetic piece of shit.""How about we play around a bit outside?" offered Deric, "I see you

"Are you okay?" asked Deric as he saw Caraline fall silent, "your face is flushed." "Huh?" Caraline immediately touched the cheek which felt very hot. Her gaze quickly shifted to the other side. "I-it must be the cold weather.""Would you mind if I borrowed you my coat?" offered Deric as he approached."Stop!" Caraline suddenly stood up, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't need that, especially from a man like you.""Fine," Deric said, refocusing on the basketball.Caraline snorted in annoyance. Her eyes sharpened as her feet stomped the grass with some force. The woman tugged at the hem of the dress, gripping it firmly. "Deric is completely insensitive. I will not support him.""Did you just say something?" Deric turned his head back."Are your ears as damaged as your feet right now?" snarked Caraline, "I didn't say anything. Look, as for your request earlier, I'm not going to support you from the sidelines. If I did, I'd look pretty stupid. I will not to lower my pride just

"Oh my God," Caraline and Catherine muttered at the same time. They both glared, breaking the embrace. The two women's gazes met at a single point, and shortly afterward, they pulled apart."Catherine!" shrieked Wilson with an incredulous look. Her hands went to her waist. Her jaw tightened until her teeth chattered. What had happened to his cousin? Rather than supporting him, Catherine cheered happily when Deric won the match.Catherine closed her eyes for a moment, looking away from Wilson. She had no idea why this was happening. Her body seemed to move on its own.On the other hand, Caraline reflexively turned the ball lazily, glancing at Catherine with an irritated look. "Why was Catherine so happy when Deric won? Is it possible that she ....""Catherine!" Wilson pulled Catherine's hand firmly, half dragging her. "What's wrong with you?""Let go of me, Wilson!" Catherine tried to release Wilson's grip, but she found it difficult because the man's strength was quite large."You can

Flocks of birds circled in the clear morning sky. Caraline had just woken up from her sleep. She stretched, walking towards the balcony. She crouched down when she saw Deric coming out of his residence. After the events of last night, she cursed the man into unconsciousness as she lay in bed."Deric has the nerve to refuse my offer." Caraline chuckled in annoyance. Her gaze followed where Deric was going. It looked like he was going to his usual workout spot.Caraline returned to her room. Once inside, she washed her face and changed into her workout clothes. She left the room, descending the stairs in a bit of a hurry. She had to meet Deric to ask him the reason behind her actions over the past few days of constantly hiding in his residence."You seem in a hurry, Caraline," said Catherine who was at the dining table. One hand was holding a cup of warm milk. Wilson, who was beside her, was silent as he enjoyed some bread."It's none of your business, Catherine," Caraline replied when

"I must admit that you have good taste in sports," complimented Wilson with both hands in his pants pockets."What if we bring a passenger?" suggested Deric, "We can also ask the maids and bodyguards in this house to be spectators. The winner's prize is still the same as yesterday's match. How about it?""I agree. So when do we start?""Alright, I'll prepare all the arrangements. We'll meet an hour later at that spot," Deric pointed at the spot where the two canoes were."Do as you please, but make sure you don't cheat because I will not hesitate to teach you until you feel death is a better option," Wilson threatened.Wilson tugged on Catherine's hand with some force, and soon the two left the scene.Caraline gave Deric a glance, taking a few steps forward to the side of the fence. "I'm not asking you to defend me. After all, I could have handled Catherine and Wilson without your help all these years."Caraline turned away, shaking her hair with a flat look. "When you think... where
