Lila giggled. "Come on, don't be such a whiny. What's wrong with sitting here and watching those people scream in fear." She ended with a grin.Andrew snorted. Because Lila insisted on walking around the moment their feet stepped inside the park. She told Andrew that she wanted to feel the ambiance of the people which ended in the ice cream booth.He shoved the ice cream into his mouth in one go, leaving the empty cone in his hand. While he saw Lila beside him still licking her ice cream, happily watching people scream on the roller-coaster.Observing Lila whose smile bloomed as the roller-coaster above started to launch, then her smile turned wider as the people inside it screamed and her soft laughter escaped when it turned upside down. She was so weird but she looked more attractive than when she was in her sexy distress state.<Related chapters

"Aunt Becky said she and Uncle Malcolm are going home today because she misses your baby." Andrew told Lila in the car. They were on their way back to Andrew's mansion from lunch.Their lunch was way past the lunch time, because the three of them went to the hospital first as Andrew wanted to make sure the injured employees got the treatment that they should have.And after the injured employees were declared that they could go home, Andrew told Max to settle the hospital bill.A second later, Lila heard Andrew continued. "What does that mean? Do you have a baby?"Lila laughed. Andrew sounded like Uncle Malcolm when she mentioned the baby, except Andrew's tone was calm."It's a kitten." She told Andrew."Oh… Do you want to go home as well or--""What kind of question is that? Of course, I'll go to their home. Right after you give me your blood."Andrew tilted a smile. He promised Lila to give his blood today.

At the same time, in the high-rise apartment building in the heart of the capital city, Carla was relaxing in front of the tv. She was in Tony's apartment.For the past year, she regularly visited Tony, which earned her the key to his apartment. They were having fun and satisfying each other's lust while Tony was still Lila's boyfriend at that time.Today was the same. Carla was waiting for Tony to get home from work. She liked the thrill, and also the thoughts that Tony was finally hers and her cousin ended with a bartender. Her effort wasn't for nothing.She laughed wickedly.All she needed to do was to keep Tony stay by her side. That was why she troubled herself to prepare dinner for him, though she actually bought it. But Tony didn't have to know that. All he had to know was that she took care of him.She was pouring water into a glass when Tony opened the apartment door. He looked different."Welcome home…" Carla didn't man
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 46. Delivering the croissant
Entering her lab after four hours teaching, Lila found her two interns were munching instead of doing their job."John, you bought croissants?" Asked Lila, dropping her bag near the croissant's box then took one croissant and gave it a bite.She noticed the box was from Angela Barlow's café in one glance. No wonder the croissant tasted very damn good, an oasis for her empty stomach."Uhm, he did." Answered John, pointing at the lab's inner space.Lila followed John's pointed finger while having the second bite."Henry?" Lila lifted her brows.Henry smiled. "Hi Lila, your lab is cool."Your cousin's money's lab. Lila narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here?" "Stopping by and delivering the croissant for you and Uncle Malcolm."Lila glared in a warning mode. People in the University didn't know that she was related to the president of the University, and she intended to keep it that way forever.

"Is it okay if Henry's here?""Why?" Henry frowned upon hearing Evan's question. He was telling Andrew about his trip to the University this morning, when Evan strode into the room with his questionable question.They were in the Arena because Andrew wanted to punish the chickens who had dared to kidnap Lila."It's fine, Evan." Answered Andrew.The frown on Henry's face didn't change. "Now I need your permission to be here?""It's a thought, Henry. Not a permission." Answered Andrew again."Yeah? If you think I can't be here, can I still be here?" Sneered Henry."I said it's fine." Andrew rolled his eyes. Although it was true that he wouldn't let Henry stay if he thought it would harm Henry's future."Is there something you guys hide from me?" Henry glared at Andrew and Evan in turn.Evan said nothing. He looked at Andrew, waiting for his response because he didn't have the right to make any response.

Lunch time was over. The University's academia life was back on again. Except for Lila and her interns. They were walking leisurely in the research building, after having a long break."Can John and I go to the hearing too? We want to be there for you." Asked Susan in her childish tone."Sure." Lila chuckled."We can't, Susan. We have class." Said John.Susan pouted. "That class is boring. I learn everything about the subject from the library and Lila. For me, it's an obligation to support Lila. And so do you, John."Lila couldn't help but to smile watching Susan clung on John, so that he couldn't escape. Susan dragged him, walking in front of her and convincing John once again."Doctor Phillips!"The three of them turned around in unison."Why am I being summoned for a hearing?"Lila's lips pulled into a thin smile. "Let's find out. See you in your hearing then, Professor Gustav.""Do I have t

The sun had set when Lila strolled the neighbourhood from the bus stop in the main street toward home.She stayed late in her lab with her two interns, continuing the experiment with the blood sample and also helping her interns with their assignments. Because of that she missed dinner, but she didn't mind.That was why she visited the Angela Barlow café nearby the University. Paying with her own money, she bought a cold strawberry milk butter and a very chubby donut. She was starving and ate the donut right away.The donut's last bite went into her mouth just a good second before the bus came. Then she took twenty minutes on the bus sipping her drink very slowly.The strawberry's sweet and sour taste blended with the rich taste of milk, while the butter added a unique savoury flavour into the drink. Making it incredibly taste like heaven in every sip.She enjoyed her walk home while sipping the taste of heaven drink, feeling awesome.
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 50. Dangerous topic
It had been a while since the last time Edvard visited the University. His tight schedule forbade him to take any short break.Abigail, his assistant of twenty years, hadn't told him whether he had a schedule or not this morning. Thus, he decided that he had no schedule.Sipping his morning tea in his pavilion in the palace, he was thinking of visiting Lila in the University under the pretence of craving the cafeteria's sandwich again.What lie should he tell her so that she would agree to go out with him again? They already saved stray dogs, should he ask her to save stray kittens? She liked cats, perhaps she would want to go.Off we go then…The tea cup clinked sharply against its saucer as Edvard hurriedly put it down then rose from the chair. He grabbed the disguise equipment to go outside before heading to the door."Where are you going?" A woman's voice came from the direction of the door."Out." Said Edvard briefl

Lila walked faster. She forgot that she had an appointment with Uncle Malcolm's lawyer acquaintance this afternoon because her experiments were getting interesting and she was so absorbed in it. When she remembered, it was way past lunch time. Thus, without getting any food, she ran.Luckily, the lawyer's office was situated a few blocks away from the University. And if she took a shortcut through the city park, she would be there faster.Usual city park view greeted her once she was crossing the park. The tourists' lively activity of exploring the park didn't manage to pique her interest, but two little people who sat on the bench did."Hey guys…" Lila waved at them, smiling warmly."Miss…" The little boy's voice excitedly greeted her.Lila noticed the flower in his little hand. "Can I buy the flowers in your hand?""Sure." Unlike their first meeting, this time he responded without any hesitation. "How many do you want, Miss?"

According to Lila’s experience, they were there with Andrew and the others to save her when she was kidnapped by the vengeful thugs. Based on that experience, they could be some trained military men. Also, perhaps they were a gangster member since there was this experience when she and the prince instantly felt safe not long after she ended her call with Andrew, at that time she didn’t think much as to why the prince pleaded with her to call Andrew because of the danger that threatened them and they had to keep the children safe.

“Having you here tonight is breaking our years of tradition, Lila.” The king started after the servants were done serving the soup. “In a good way.” Henry quickly added, seeing Lila’s spoon froze midway to her mouth. He glared at his grandfather before explaining to Lila. “His Majesty is pleased to see a pretty face like yours instead of us. Since every year we, four men, have this dinner alone.” Lila’s startled look turned into an understanding smile. “Thank you for having me, Your Majesty. I didn’t expect it would be a dinner for your birthday, Your Majesty, when Andrew asked me to go to a secret dinner.” “Typical of Andrew. Always full of secrets.” Edvard snorted. “It’s a surprise. Not a secret.” Andrew snapped. Edvar

Edvard was looking at the starry sky, wondering what Lila had been doing. He was in a secured private estate, safely away from the hungry sensation's seekers of paparazzi. Where once a year they had family dinner to celebrate the king's actual birthday. His trail of thoughts disturbed when he heard confident footsteps coming closer. He recognized it was his father's footsteps since the other two younger members of the family hadn't arrived yet. “I met the prime minister this afternoon.” Said the king, standing next to his son. “He told me something interesting.” Somehow Edvard could guess where the conversation might lead, but he waited for his father to elaborate. He understood why his father was still looking at him expectantly. Sighing, he asked. "Which is…" The l

When Lila agreed to Prince Edvard's invitation to go to the museum with him, it was Saturday morning.Since Edvard was Andrew's relative, she thought becoming Edvard's friend was part of her duty as Andrew's girlfriend.She also became used to the cup of coffee and a pink rose that was delivered every morning on her desk. To the angel, whoever he or she might be, who sent the coffee and pink rose to her, she felt grateful and quit questioning it. Because she really liked the coffee and enjoyed every delicious drop of it.Sunday morning came. Edvard waited for Lila inside his car a few metres from a bus stop. He didn't understand why she asked to meet at this specific bus stop, since her uncle's house was far away from the bus stop.He realized there were so many things that he didn't know about Lila, and he wanted to know all of those things to understand her.Like right now as he watched Lila get off of the bus which served a route from

"What is she doing here?" Andrew's smile dropped and his step halted upon seeing who was the one behind Lila. "Why is she with you?"His abrupt halt made Lila halt her step too. Behind Andrew, Lila saw Maggie was sitting on the long sofa and calmly put her drink onto the table.She was slightly irritated. Though she understood perfectly why he acted that way toward Carla, did he have to spark fire like that in front of Maggie?"I told you this isn't a good idea." Lila heard Carla's whisper.When they were in the hospital to get some stitches for Carla's wounded hand, Lila invited Carla to go with her to directly apologize to Andrew and Carla uttered the same thing.She knew Carla was worried then, and right this moment she sensed Carla was worried and scared at the same time.Andrew could be very scary when he was mad, she had witnessed it once.

"I don't have enough money to buy a drink there."Lila fixed a blank flat look at her cousin, Carla. Her eyes drilled into Carla's, searching for something to validate her doubt.Since Carla came to her lab when she was tidying her work, she didn't believe a thing from Carla's mouth.Well, there was one thing though. Carla suspected Andrew made her lose a few jobs, while she was a hundred percent sure Andrew was behind it. She knew it was an easy thing for Andrew.But it was almost impossible to believe when Carla said that she was sorry for everything she had done to her and wanted to fix their relationship.Losing jobs would never change someone with spiteful and hatred that rooted for thirteen years into a better person. The change perhaps to get the job back or revenge. That was what she thought about Carla's intention.Lila said nothing then walked inside the fancy cafe. She failed to find anything to validate her doubt. Not
