Knowing the reason for the man's panic, Mia was pensive. After a moment of silence, she let out a faint breath. "Sorry, I really didn't mean to make you panic."With a minimal smile, Julian nodded. "It doesn't matter anymore. I know that you just want to help the little girl. But ...," the man gave a pause and raised one finger, "from this moment on, don't leave without telling me. I don't want to go crazy for fear of losing you again.""Okay, I'll remember it well," Mia said, blinking firmly."Don't just remember, Mia, but do it," the man replied while fixing his lover's knitted hat.Through a thin curve of lips, the girl expressed regret. "Okay, I'm not going anywhere without you anymore."“Good,” Julian sighed before pulling the girl's head to meet his lips.As the couple rubbed each other's backs, a woman who had been listening to their conversation suddenly cleared her throat."Sorry to interrupt. But, I don't think i

"Is everything ready?" Julian asked after lowering the suitcase from the bed and pulling the handle.“Yes,” Mia answered as she zipped up. “My bag is fuller than when I came here.”While helping his lover lower the bulging suitcase, Julian smiled. "I'm sure Cayden would love to see you open the luggage.""I hope so. Otherwise, I will be very disappointed,” the girl joked before letting out a quick breath. "Let's go home!" she said, nodding confidently. The secretary refused to show the longing that had begun to grow in her heart.Knowing Mia's hidden feelings, the man spontaneously smiled. “After getting married, let's come back here for our honeymoon. We can continue this interrupted journey.”"That's a very good idea, Julian," the girl muttered as she formed a small curve with her lips."Yes, I know," the man sighed while putting his palm behind Mia's waist, signaling the girl to start walking out

After wetting the throat that was burning with anxiety, Julian wiped the cold sweat on his lover's white face. "Mia," he called hoarsely. "Sorry .... I'm sorry for not taking care of you properly." Instead of answering, the girl kept putting on a dreamy look. She didn't move at all. The eyelids that were raised to the maximum were reluctant to even make a single blink. "Mia?" Julian called in a more slicing voice. Not getting an answer, the man lowered his gaze towards the hole in Mia's shirt. Even though there was no blood flowing, he still felt uneasy. "Can we remove it now?" Julian asked the man who was busy listening to the voice from the small speaker in ear. "We'd better move your wife to a safer place first," the officer replied with a reassuring nod. “Okay,” the CEO sighed while placing his arms under Mia's back and knees. A second later, without waiting for a signal, he picked up the girl. "Where should I take her?"

"Sorry, Sir. What skills do you have that earned you the nickname 'Sharp Knife'? What do you mean by knife-wielding?” Mia asked timidly."Have you ever heard of knife throwing?" the coated man inquired with a glance.After checking her memory, the girl replied. "What's that?"“Many people call it a form of sport. But, to me, it's a very beautiful art.”Getting such an implied answer, Mia let out a faint sigh. "Is it difficult?""Why did you ask, Mia? Are you interested in learning it?” Julian inquired with an eyebrow raised in surprise."Yes," the girl answered with sparkling eyes. “Won't it be better if we increase our self-defense ability?”“Of course,” the Sharp Knife interrupted before snorting lightly. "Then, how about we start practicing tomorrow?"Getting a warm welcome from the master, Mia spontaneously raised her neck. “Would you like to train me?”"Yes

Seeing his lover still standing in front of the target board, Julian sighed faintly. After wiping the pity from his face, the man walked over to the girl who had just thrown a knife through the garden light."Aren't you tired?"In an instant, Mia turned around with round eyes. "Julian? When you get home?"With a thin curve of lips, the man stroked his lover's hair which was wet with sweat. “Gabriella said your training ended two hours ago. But, why are you still here?”"Two hours ago?" Mia sighed while pulling her eyelids higher.“You train so hard that you lose track of time, hm?” Julian replied, raising an eyebrow.Grinning, the girl shook her head. "I don't know I've been training this long," she said between breaths. “Then, you … why are you coming home now? Didn't you say you just wanted to review one more document? You should have asked me to work overtime if there was still a lot of work to do.&rdq
