Haisley raised her hand and then gently rubbed Nathan's face with her fingers. The girl's index and middle fingers touched Nathan's forehead, tracing down his nose to the tip. "You're handsome, very handsome," she whispered. Her eyes blinked slowly, as if holding back sleep. Nathan knew the girl sitting on his lap was now intoxicated, and he chose to let her be. "You have a nice nose. Well-shaped," she chuckled. Then her fingers touched Nathan's closed eyes. "You also have long and curly eyelashes. You know, I'm always jealous when I see them," she continued. Nathan opened his eyes again and saw Haisley looking at him with her half-closed eyes. "But unfortunately, your eyes always stare at me sharply. Sarcastic. You always look at me with accusing eyes," she said with a sad smile on her face. "And yet, I always want you to look at me, Nath," she sighed softly. The girl's eyes then moved towards Nathan's lips. Her fingers touched his thin lips and lowered his bottom lip. "I'm always c

The throbbing sensation returned to Haisley's head. She opened her eyes and blinked to ward off the light emanating from the ceiling above her.. Where is this? The question immediately popped into her head. Slowly, Haisley got up and sat. Her eyes scanned the surroundings. Isn't this her old room? Why is she here? Haisley stood up and felt a queasiness in her stomach, then the girl ran to the bathroom and emptied whatever was writhing in her throat. Nausea, heat in her stomach, and a burning sensation in her throat made Haisley shed tears, the effects of everything she felt. Haisley rinsed her mouth and then sat on the closed toilet. The dizziness pierced her head more and her vision seemed to shimmer because of it. What happened? The question without an answer once again filled her head. She tried to remember what happened last night. She danced with Steven and afterward, she drank the juice on the bar table, then she felt dizzy. And after that? She forgot. Her mind was complete

"Love is just a camouflage, G. In fact, love won't last if we don't give women what they need. The main source of love is money and power. Will your woman stick with you just because you shower her with words of love? Can she buy designer clothes or collect diamonds with love? No, she won't be able to." "And also, what I felt for Crystal back then can't be called love," Nathan answered flatly. "Just consider it as an adrenaline trigger because I wanted to compete with Juan. Then I lost. And it's all over." Nathan spoke without expression. "Is that so? So you consider your feelings for Crystal just some kind of intense competition? Whoever she chooses is the winner?" "Yes, and I lost," Nathan replied without a hint of sadness. "So, what are you doing with Haisley now? Is this also your game? You act reluctant to accept her but take advantage of her innocence. You play with her feelings. Who's challenging you this time? Steven? Dean?" Nathan looked at Gilbert coldly. "I never played

"I can't say you're already an adult, but you're not a child anymore who needs guidance and is confused in making decisions. Papa knows you've considered everything thoroughly, but does it really have to be like this? "Papa can't blame you; from the beginning, Papa didn't agree with your intention to study in England just because you wanted to be with Nathan. Papa has also been young, fallen in love, and been obsessed with the feelings Papa had. But Papa doesn't want to sacrifice Papa's future for those uncertain feelings. Papa doesn't want you to experience that." Haisley lowered her head and twiddled her fingers. She knew, very well, that her actions from the beginning could be considered impulsive. She was too confident. She was too sure that her past actions could stir Nathan's heart. But the reality was different. "Now, what do you want to do here?" Haisley lifted her head and looked at her father. "Haisley will work while studying to enter university next year," she said earn

Good news for Haisley the next day. She heard that Gilbert and Dean had planned to spend their vacation in Miami and had even given Haisley a photo of their plane tickets and the possible time they would arrive at the airport. Yes, Dean and Gilbert promised to meet in Manhattan before eventually using the same plane to fly to Miami. It's inconvenient, while there is actually a plane they could use to land directly in Miami. Haisley herself resisted telling Gilbert about Flavia's presence in Miami. Haisley knew that Gilbert had liked Flavia for a while, but he didn't dare to express his feelings because of religious differences. What would her friend say when he saw the increasingly beautiful Flavia? Surely he would like her even more. As a woman, Haisley herself admired the beauty of the Turkish-blooded girl, especially Gilbert. Haisley had already asked to swap shifts with her coworker the day before. Luckily, her friend agreed to exchange schedules, so now Haisley is here, waitin
