Eve opened her eyes, but she didn't find Axel in the bed beside her. She let out a short breath and rolled over to the side of the bed where Axel had been sleeping for the past three nights.She didn't know when this crazy feeling took over her heart, but she loved the lingering scent of Axel's body that clung to her pillow and blanket.It must have been quite daylight because she could see the bright sky behind the open window curtains. It must have been Axel who did it.Normally, she would wake up early and get ready for work. However, in the last three days, she has returned to living like an unemployed person who doesn't think about work.She was a little moody if she remembered about the hospital. If she could, she didn't want to come back there and pass by the place where... she was treated so badly. If possible, she wanted to disappear from Seattle for a while to find her courage again. However, of course, she couldn't do that.Sooner or later, she had to return to the hospital
Eve woke up early and quickly got ready to leave for the hospital.She had already spent three days without thinking about work, and she didn't seem to want to stay home any longer because she knew she needed to go to the hospital and confirm the continuation of her work.Axel wasn't in bed when she woke up, but she heard the sound of water in the bathroom, so she knew he was there.Without thinking twice, she quickly joined Axel, and they came out of the bathroom an hour later. Well, if she was in a hurry to get to the hospital, she should have waited until Axel finished showering, and then she went in there. Joining Axel didn't make her faster. He made her late."You look nervous. Is there a problem?" Axel took her hand and held it tightly as he drove her to the hospital.This time, Axel didn't bring a driver and made Eve sit beside him—just like their ride yesterday afternoon."I left the hospital without saying anything, and I'm a little worried I'll get fired," she laughed briefl
Eve didn't call Axel to pick her up even though he had told her that she only needed to call him if she needed anything.She didn't... choose to walk in the park behind the hospital even though she knew that there were many people there that morning and there would most likely be no danger even if she cried in a garden chair all day.She took a taxi to Axel's mansion even though it meant she had to spend a lot of money because his mansion was... very far from the city. The taxi driver was confused when he got Axel's address, but she didn't want to explain anything and chose to sit quietly in the passenger seat after she said that she would pay whatever the driver needed as a fare.Axel's mansion was far away—hidden behind a pleasant-looking forest when viewed from the car window.It was Christmas in three days, and... this would probably be the first Christmas Eve spent at Axel’s mansion. Maybe she should ask Axel to buy a Christmas tree so that his gloomy mansion would get a little l
As it always happens, Eve woke up when Axel was no longer beside her.She was a bit surprised to see that she had slept for so many hours that it was almost time for dinner.Her stomach was hungry because she hadn't eaten lunch and, this morning, had only eaten a few slices of apple pie that Axel had fed her because she was in a hurry to leave for the hospital and didn't want to be late.She... didn't get her morning sickness as bad as usual, and that was kind of nice because she didn't know what to tell Axel if he saw her always running to the bathroom after waking up in the morning. However, of course, she still gets it every now and then, but she handles it so well that Axel doesn't suspect anything.Not wanting to linger in the toilet, Eve quickly got out of there and put on her usual casual clothes for dinner—the white pants she brought from the apartment and the light gray sweater Axel bought her. She forgot the moral lesson from her mentor about how to dress for dinner. Her par
Eve woke up happy in the morning, and she knew why.Axel's room is the perfect place to sleep, and she has never felt so comfortable when she can hug a stranger's blanket with the scent of perfume that isn't hers.Usually, she likes something private—something that belongs to her. However, sharing a bed and a blanket with Axel is the most fun thing she's ever decided to do.Of course, Axel isn't in the room when she wakes up.Maybe she should get used to waking up a little earlier if she wants to see Axel still sleeping next to her. She doesn't know what kind of habit he has that when other people prefer to wake up at noon, he is the only guy who wakes up very early and starts his day earlier than anyone else.Eve always felt that she was a little more diligent than her friends—Daxton and Kaira. She always woke up at the normal time, 7:30 am, and started her morning by showering and making breakfast.It was a morning habit when she was still working.Now, things have changed, and when
"My father is an entertainment agency owner in Hollywood," Eve breathed deeply as she intertwined her fingers with Axel's fingers through the air. "He... is very wealthy. I don't know the exact amount of his wealth, but I know he is very rich."Almost five seconds passed, but she didn't hear any response from Axel.She turned with concern, but all she got was Axel's intense gaze. She knew he was listening. She was sure of that."You told me that you once thought about becoming a doctor because... you lost your mother." She didn't know how it felt to lose her parents. She always wished she would never experience the loss of her parents. "I thought about becoming a doctor because I love what I can do as a doctor. I don't want to live in the shadow of my parents. Maybe that's one of my reasons."One of Axel's hands stroked her hair while his other hand was still holding her. He didn't say anything, but once again, she was sure that he was listening, and he still wanted to listen."Cailyn
Since Eve decided to pursue her dream—learning everything she could to continue her studies at the best medical school she desired, she never missed a day without reading books. For her, books were a part of her life—something she could never let go of.Then, as time passed, she began to have other activities besides reading books in the library. Her class schedule was very busy, and she still had to make time to participate in research with her professor—one of the things that always interested her.She was fortunate that her parents could afford all her tuition fees, so she didn't need to work part-time to earn extra money. The only thing she did during college was study and participate in scientific activities that could broaden her knowledge instead of working hard to deliver fast food as most students did.Throughout her life books have been an essential part of her life. Therefore, she couldn't be happier when a guard delivered a box containing several books that Axel bought for
"I wish I could call my Daddy to clear out the mall," Cailynn sighed briefly.Eve smiled wryly.Even though she was in a private school full of wealthy people all this time, she never really socialized with them. She felt like she had wasted a lot of time in her life because she was too busy with herself to have time for socializing. For the first time, she had to socialize with one of the people with extraordinary wealth, making her words feel... unrelated to daily life.Well, who calls their father to clear out a mall when they want to go shopping?"It seems like Axel could do it too," Cailynn sighed shortly, "I don't know how anyone can enjoy shopping in such a crowded place." She continued her complaint."There won't be any problems in Seattle because people here will ignore you even if they know you're a famous model," Eve retorted."I don't mind that. Even in New York, I haven't been getting as many problems lately. It seems like they're getting bored with my private life becaus
