Victor felt a pang in his chest. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You've been staring outside for a while. Do you like the rain?"Eulalia kept looking at the rainy scene through the window. "Not really. It feels sticky and uncomfortable when it soaks you, and it's so cold it makes your knees ache just thinking about it."The difference between new wounds and old ones is that new wounds, if not too serious, heal and that's that. But old wounds are the kind that hurt your heart. Even when they've healed, just thinking about them can be gut-wrenching.Victor had been planning to say something cheesy like "If you like the rain, I can keep you company in it," but Eulalia didn't give him the chance."It's blown up outside. I haven't checked online, but I bet it's trending."Victor wasn't wrong - it had indeed gone viral. Once again, Eulalia was dominating the hot topics:#EulaliaActing#BoycottEulalia#Blunt#BarryEulalia"You know what this situation reminds me of?
"You mean she..." Percival's dry lips trembled."What?" Oliver looked at Percival in confusion, trying to read his expression.Percival's face remained as deep and calm as ever, but looking closer, you could see something flickering in his bloodshot eyes. His dark pupils seemed to dance with an unsteady light.Percival lowered his gaze and ultimately said nothing."It's nothing." He was preparing for the worst outcome.If it really was Eulalia, he had to hold onto her tightly, even if it cost him his life.For Percival, Eulalia was a lifeline - a floating plank in choppy seas.He still had selfish thoughts. He could hide and watch Eulalia from afar without disturbing her, but he couldn't bear to see her with another man. That would be worse than death.If he could choose how to die...He hoped Eulalia would be the one to kill him. Otherwise, he'd die with regrets, living a life worse than death.Percival was now certain that the "Eulalia" in the video was really her.Since Eulalia had
Eulalia looked up. Her eyes, clear as if washed by spring water, reflected Victor's tense face."Don't get the wrong idea," he said quickly. "I just noticed your hair's wet. A shower might help you avoid catching a cold, and you'll sleep better tonight."His rushed explanation reminded her of that idiot Vincent. Eulalia stared absently at Victor's fangs as he spoke."I didn't misunderstand anything," Eulalia said with a teasing smile. "But it seems like you've got something on your mind, Mr. Big Shot. You never answered my question from before - why do you blush when you look at me? Have you never been nice to a girl before?"Victor answered honestly, "Nope, just you."He used to scoff at the idea of "love at first sight," thinking it was just lust. But from the moment he saw Eulalia at the plane, he suddenly understood what it meant. Love at first sight, a lifetime in one glance. It was as if he'd known Eulalia for ages.In that moment, he knew he had to have her.Life has a way of t
Percival's gaze moved past Victor, landing on Eulalia as she gracefully walked into view.She was wearing an oversized men's white shirt that hung down to her thighs, making it look like she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Her long, straight legs delicate and smooth.Eulalia had just showered and washed her hair. Her long locks were loosely tied up with a disposable hair tie, still damp at the nape of her neck. A few wet strands fell around her face, adding to her allure.Percival had imagined a dozen ways he might see Eulalia again, but he never expected it to be like this - in the most gut-wrenching way possible.This was their long-awaited reunion: her appearing in another man's room, wearing his clothes, bare-legged, in a way Percival had never seen before.In that moment, it felt like his heart was being stabbed by a thousand tiny pins. The pain was so intense he couldn't even feel his heartbeat. Breathing became difficult, and his eyes reddened as he struggled for air.Perci
The human heart is too small. Back then, Eulalia tried to fit too many things in hers, which is why she ended up so hurt."You can wait longer, but Misty can't. A cat's lifespan is already short, let alone one that lost half its life in that big fire."There's a saying that your enemy knows you best.Percival knew her weakness and knew exactly how to manipulate her.Eulalia's initial plan was to become strong first, strong enough to overcome the threats before her, and then appear before Percival.But she underestimated Percival's sixth sense. She didn't expect that just one glance would be enough for him to recognize her.She could wait a while longer to see the people she wanted to see, but she forgot that some couldn't wait for her, like her Misty.She missed that ragdoll cat so much, the one that tried to save her in the fire.Percival had recognized her. She would eventually face the same situation - his haunting presence that she couldn't escape."You're not trying to threaten m
Getting kidnapped, tortured until your fingers are ruined, hypnotized and messed with like an idiot, then having your baby killed and your legs crippled - that's some serious shit!Some things just don't deserve forgiveness, and it's not about being magnanimous or whatever. Everyone's got their own limits. She suffered through all that crap alone and died in that big fire. Why the hell should she forgive the person who drove her to death step by step?Eulalia took out her disposable hair tie, fixing her hair as she said, "I guess I could forgive you... if you really want me to."For a split second, Percival was speechless. The sudden glimmer of hope was so unexpected he could hardly believe it.But then Eulalia casually tossed the hair tie into the river. "Go fish it out. If you find it, I'll forgive you. How's that sound?"How the hell was he supposed to find such a tiny hair tie in the river? With all the crap and mud down there, he'd need ten hands to have any chance.The hair tie
Percival couldn't hear whatever Oliver was saying anymore. The obsession with finding the hair tie had taken root in his blood like a poisonous seed, wrapping around his bones and pulling at his weak limbs as he struggled to his feet.At this point, Percival was running on sheer willpower alone. His body straightened up, vulnerability and grief showing in his eyes as he crawled towards the riverbank. Oliver couldn't hold him back - he had no idea how Percival still had so much strength.Oliver forcefully pinned him down. "Boss, let's come back to look tomorrow. You need to take care of yourself right now. What if you collapse again right when we finally find her?"Percival's desperation to find the hair tie immediately was already backfiring on him.There was a lot Oliver didn't understand, but what confused him most was how "Riley" had become "Eulalia."Was it all an act? But he
The flames leaping from the edge of the wok lit up Victor's face and sparkled in Eulalia's eyes.Victor had been focused on tossing the wok. He'd seen a post online about the sexiest things a man can do, and one of them was stir-frying.He was totally absorbed in it, but as time went on, his expression grew more and more uncomfortable. The wok handle suddenly felt scorching in his grip, and he nearly flung the food right out of the pan.Eulalia wanted to laugh but didn't call him out. Pretending not to notice his awkwardness, she changed the subject: "Where's the tableware?"Victor plated up the green pepper and pork stir-fry and quietly walked over to the cabinet above Eulalia. Worried the door might hit her head, he gently placed his hand on top of it."Here," Victor said as he took out the tableware. Eulalia was so close he could smell her shampoo.Realizing they used the same shampoo and had the same scent made Victor feel even closer to her. His ears twitched slightly as he quick
