"Sit over there. Just wait for me," John said quietly. "I want to be with you." Cordy hugged him tighter. "You're going to affect my cooking." Cordy was struck speechless. He was so unromantic. "Be good." Cordy let go of him and walked to another side unhappily. She exhausted herself before she sat on the high chair again. When she looked at John, she found that he seemed to be controlling himself. He even gasped. So, he did not find her annoying. He would... lose control too.It was very quiet. Cordy just watched him quietly as he cooked their lunch. John was very quiet too. He silently and attentively made lunch for her. During lunch, they sat before the dining table. As Cordy took a bite of the fish he made, a familiar taste spread around in her mouth and her eyes abruptly turned red in that instant. It still tasted the same. But why could they not return to how they were? "Don't you like it?" John noticed her emotions, so he asked lightly. "No

John stayed beside her, feeling that it was a quiet and peaceful life. He thought of how nice it would be if they could grow old that way...Nestling on the sofa, Cordy dozed off in a daze.When John looked over, he found her small frame curled up on the sofa, and she was breathing evenly. Hence, he smiled helplessly. He thought that she would do something violent these two days, but she was so calm and quiet. He got up and walked toward Cordy. At first, he wanted to take a blanket to drape it over her body. But when he saw her curl up that way, he felt that it was rather an uncomfortable sleeping posture. She would be sore all over when she woke up. Hence, he decided to carry her back to her room. When he had just touched her, a pair of slender arms were soon around his neck. He was caught off guard when Cordy took the initiative to kiss his lips.Consequently, John's heartbeat quickened wildly. He did not even manage to regain his wits when she deepened their kiss.

He gave Cordy a call, but she did not pick up.He began feeling anxious and continued calling her repeatedly.He suddenly stood up to head to the door to look for her.Just then, Cordy called him back.John immediately picked up, "Why didn't you answer my calls?!"His voice sounded clearly anxious."Were you worried about me?" Cordy, on the other hand, was calm and composed."I was just… feeling bored all alone," John made up a weak excuse."So you missed me.""Are you done playing this game, Cordy? Do you know that we have only a few hours left before we have to leave this place…""Come out." Cordy cut him off mid-sentence.John furrowed his brows. "What?""Come out of villa."With that, Cordy hung up.John kept his anger in check and walked out of the villa.The wooden fence corridor suddenly lit up.It was six in the evening, and the sky was not yet completely dark.But it did not lessen in any way the romantic ambience in the air.He walked in the direction of the

The clear clinking sound was drowned by the sound of the waves crashing along the coast.Cordy sipped from the glass.She said, "John, does this not seem familiar to you?""Not at all.""All right." Cordy chuckled.Her smile was clearly laced with sorrow.John turned his face away to look into the distance where the boundless ocean lay ahead beyond the horizon…The sky was turning darker and darker by the minute.The candlelight mingled with the soft glow of the lamps, intensifying the romantic atmosphere around them.A touching melody suddenly came from afar.It was the lilting notes of a violin drifting from a quiet corner.Cordy stood up from her seat, and John looked at her.He saw her taking one difficult step at a time toward him, reaching her hands out by way of invitation. "Shall we dance?"John looked at her from top to toe. "Are you sure you can still dance?""Of course I can."John chuckled helplessly, although he stood up anyway.He walked toward Cordy, and

She was so near, yet he did not dare to reach out to her.He thought that Cordy was leaving, that she would leave upon being rejected by him.She had always been a proud woman, and he would rather she stay that way.She would leave without hesitation at his rejection.He did not want to see her groveling and doing herself injustice, being so aggrieved for his sake…Cordy picked up her bag on the table and fished out a folded piece of paper.She struggled to walk back to John.She flattened out the piece of paper and handed it to him. "This is the result of the DNA test between you and Richard."Yes.She did not want to show him that or tie John to herself this way, but she succumbed to it eventually.Rather than seeing him leave, she would rather lose her dignity.She never thought that she would go to such an extent for a man she loved.After experiencing what she did with Kyle, she thought that she would never fall in love again…But John was worth it.Yet, John refused

But eventually, John did not stop her.They simply brushed past each other just like that. Cordy returned to the hotel villa, while John left the beach.-"Have you given up yet?"Cordy buried her face between her knees on the soft couch in the hotel villa.Sean's voice was a mix of concern and helplessness.Cordy did not lift her head up and simply nodded."Then let's go back." Sean did not ask her any questions, and he neither mock her nor showed her any concern.He just took it that this episode was over, and he did not want to embarrass her."Give me a moment." Cordy's voice was nasal from all the crying."Sure."Sean sat next to her as he waited.He would be lying if he said that his heart did not ache for Cordy, seeing her like this. He would also be lying if he said that he did not feel like punching John.But he was a rational man.He clearly knew what was best for Cordy, and whatever he said at this point would only make her feel worse.The only thing he could

Patrick looked at Cordy in disbelief.He admitted that he had been pursuing her even in his dreams, but he never expected Cordy to say yes to him one day.Cordy was like the bright moon in the night sky, beautiful but unattainable. His desire for her, the moon that he could never reach, could only exist in his own world.But right now, his moon had suddenly agreed to try things out with him.Was he hearing things? He instinctively looked toward Sean.Sean was the only other witness tonight, aside from him and Cordy.There was a tinge of resignation in Sean's eyes until he felt Patrick looking at him dazedly, as if he were hallucinating. He was hallucinating, right?!After all, Sean was hoping against all hope that Patrick would end up with Cordy.Now that Cordy had finally agreed, he was a very happy man.Of course, Patrick clearly knew that Sean approved of him not because he was excellent, but because John was terrible.There would not be disappointment without compar

He must have guessed that she was hurt by John and needed someone to lean on.Perhaps that need was not love.She was just tired.He clearly knew all that, yet not only did he not mind, but he even felt thankful for her acceptance.What kind of a man was he?Cordy lurched into Patrick's embrace, no longer able to hold her emotions back, and Patrick stood stunned.His heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it no longer belonged to his body.He felt Cordy sobbing hard in his arms.He did not know if she was crying for him or for John. The only thing he cared about was that she was in his arms, in a place where he could finally feel her near."Patrick, I admit that I don't love you enough right now, but I swear I'll do my best to love you," Cordy said clearly as she made her promise to Patrick."That's enough for me." Patrick hugged Cordy back.The sight of the two of them locked in a tight embrace landed in Richard's line of vision, and Sean was standing right next to him.The t
