Stan tried his best to hide his embarrassment. "D-Don't listen to her."However, the harder he tried, the more he was exposing himself in Rea's eyes."Tut, tut… I wouldn't have been able to tell," she giggled. "Wait, are you a virgin too?"Erin couldn't help laughing out loud, while James was staring at Rea in shock.She was certainly… direct!Still, Stan's fingers tightened around the steering wheel just then. "Keep yapping and you're out of my car. We're not close friends anyway."Rea pouted. "Do you have to be so petty?"Stan snorted coolly. "Am I supposed to fawn over you when you're mocking me here?"Rea reclined nonchalantly against her seat. "I'm just kidding. Don't be so serious."She smiled as Stan turned to glare at her.Stan blinked—the way she smiled was simply gorgeous.He quickly turned away, afraid to keep looking.Nonetheless, be it tired or drunk, Rea dozed off, leaving Stan speechless—he really had never met a girl like her before!"I think she drank a lo

Isaac was a busy man, and with everyone here, it wouldn't do with no one at the office.Zachary knew that very well.Still, Stan said, "They could stay a few more days if they like. I'm heading back tomorrow, and I've booked my flight already.""What's the rush?" Zachary asked."I have nothing to do here," Stan shrugged. "And you're all just hanging out with your better halves, messing with me whenever you can. I should just go back to work—work shall be my better half for the rest of my life.""Isaac appreciates that," Zahcary nodded. "He hasn't squeezed you enough, and you're now squeezing yourself, even offering the rest of your life… Man, why can't I have someone like you? If I did, life would be so easy, and I can take Lulu and Star to travel around the world, enjoying life.""Isn't having a wife and child enough?" James chuckled. "You're asking for too much."Zachry retorted, "All work and no play and all that. Also, as long as there's enough money.""But we can walk away

Irene said, "Good idea. I was thinking about visiting Star."Tommy tugged on her hand. "I want to see Star too, Mommy."Erin patted his head and smiled, but said nothing."Let's go."Their driver soon arrived, and they all got in, heading to Zachary's house.-Stan was driving in silence, and Rea was not bothered to talk when he was being cold.She folded her arms before her chest, keeping her eyes closed and pretending to nap.She was tired anyway from running away for an entire day.When Stan turned to find her eyes closed, he asked, "Are you sleepy?""Yeah," she replied, still keeping her eyes closed."Don't fall asleep," he warned. "We'll reach your home soon."Rea opened her eyes and turned to stare at him. "What, you think I'd stay in your car and refuse to leave?""What makes you think that?" Stan exclaimed in surprise.He certainly did not think that, as he thought that she would feel comfortable if she actually fell asleep, and he had to wake her.It would be fa

Ken was left gaping.Wasn't that… a little too much?But since Ken felt awkward to turn Mr. Fowler down, he said, "I'll ask…"When Ken hung up, however, he quickly called Rea to tell her that her parents would take action if she still refused to find a man.And when that happened, she would be caught on the backfoot.Nonetheless, Rea didn't answer when Ken called since she was sleeping soundly, unbothered despite her phone vibrating violently.After trying three times, Ken gave up and decided to do it the next morning.-Be that as it may, Mrs. Fowler opened Rea's door just past 6am, calling out, "Wake up, Rea.""Urgh…"Rea tossed around in bed, opening her muddled eyes. "What?""Wake up already. Stan Hill is going back to Franconia today, isn't he? You should go see him."Rea was suddenly wide awake. "W-Wait, how did you know his name?"It turned out that Mr. Fowler had spent the night doing a background check on Stan Hill. And satisfied with what he had found, he was e

Stan continued, "Say something nice and I'll help, but I'm walking away if you're going to keep up that attitude.""Stop."Rea promptly caught him—she would be really embarrassed if she let him go, only for her dad to go looking for him."So what should I say?" She asked, batting her eyelashes. "Please?""Not nice enough," Stan smiled in slight amusement. "If you need to ask for a favor, you should at least look the part. Get it?"Rea had certainly not been harassed like this, and she was left heaving, almost exploding right then."Am I not being nice enough?" She asked, as she had bent herself backwards.Stan leaned in to whisper into her ear, "Which part of you, exactly?"Rea was nonplussed, but her cheeks flushed beet red in realization, since she was frustrated too. "You little…""Tut, tut," Stan clicked his tongue. "You're actually blushing? Are you that innocent? Never noticed that myself… but since you're blushing that hard, I'll help you out."Rea was going to snap at
