Cheers of support erupted as soon as the two canoes began to move forward. The maids at the edge of the lake shouted in unison, not once did they jump. The normally quiet residence became crowded because of the match. "I'll make sure you cry today, crippled man," Wilson said with a haughty smile, "and so will you, Caraline."Wilson clucked, exerting more power. He was in pole position. Catherine smiled slightly, giving Caraline a mocking look. "They're annoying." Caraline rolled her eyes, blowing her hair down. Her gaze suddenly fell on Deric who was rowing the canoe. The muscular bulge of his arms was hypnotizing, especially when his chest moved back and forth. "Calm down," said Deric who was focused on the match. "I-I don't care about this match." Caraline turned her face to the side. Even so, her gaze occasionally stole a glance at Deric. Damn it, those arm and chest muscles kept hypnotizing her to make the man in front of her the center of the scene. "Damn, Deric is so handsom

Caraline suddenly froze when she saw the maids staring at her. Her gaze immediately turned to the side. Her eyes suddenly rounded when she found herself in the crook of Deric's neck. The scent of the man's perfume was penetrating, lulling her into staying there for a few seconds.Caraline quickly stretched the distance. She stood up and prepared to land on the edge of the lake. However, the canoe was swaying left and right. "Oh my.""I'll hold your hand," Deric said."I-I... don't need that," Caraline replied. The first thing she did right now was to save her heated face and heart, then move away from Deric."Grace," Caraline called out.The head maid immediately approached. "Yes.""Hurry and help me." Caraline reached out, pulling Grace's hand away as one foot landed on the ground. Her gaze instantly scanned the surroundings, especially the maids who suddenly went silent as she moved away from the canoe. "What are you thinking about?"The maids instantly looked down, throwing glances

"What are you still doing here, huh?" asked Caraline as she looked at the maids and bodyguards one by one. "Back to work!"The maids and bodyguards quickly cleaned up their gear and dispersed. The lake area that had been bustling was suddenly silent. Deric also drove the wheelchair towards his residence, passing Caraline without saying anything."What did he just do to me? Isn't Deric supposed to thank me or something?" Caraline muttered with her eyes following where Deric's wheelchair went. She ruffled her waist as she tapped the grass with her right foot. "He is an insensitive man."Caraline rolled her eyes and cleared her throat loudly, hoping that Deric would turn to her. However, until a few seconds passed, the man continued to drive until his body disappeared behind the door of his residence.Caraline rounded her eyes wide as the door closed from the inside. Her hands reflexively dropped from her waist. "Deric has gone too far. I hope... I hope I can rest easy today."Caraline r

"You've got to be kidding me." Caraline rolled her eyes, got up from her seat, and walked out of the theater at a brisk pace."Do you have anything to do tonight?" asked Diego who was already beside Caraline, "I have a great place to go."Caraline let out a long breath, pausing to tuck her hair behind her ear. She had an appointment with Deric for a movie tonight, and she had been looking forward to it for a long time. "I... already have an agenda for tonight.""What... are you going to spend time with a guy?" Diego probed.Caraline continued walking until she was once again jostling with people in the shopping center. Her head was suddenly spinning at the sight of the crowd everywhere."Are you okay, Caraline?" asked Diego with a worried look."I didn't know you were such a chatty guy," Caraline replied."I wouldn't be if I didn't care." Diego laughed softly. "I'll take you to the hospital to get you checked out.""You're overreacting. I just have a headache from seeing too many peop

Although Caraline's face and words seemed harsh, in reality, the woman followed Deric's request to close her eyes. Although it was too soon, she was ready to receive a kiss from the man. Her heart was jumping up and down as her face heated up. Unconsciously, Caraline leaned forward slightly, bringing her lips forward a few inches. God, this is nerve-wracking, she thought.Deric smiled slightly, tucked Caraline's hair behind her ear, and blew lightly on her forehead for the next few seconds.Caraline, on the other hand, suddenly froze as soon as the gentle breeze touched her skin. A strong tremor instantly traveled through her body. Caraline was tense to death but desperately hoped that her wish would come true. She didn't mind that after Deric kissed her she would faint.Deric gently stroked Caraline's forehead. "This wound will soon disappear."Caraline was lulled by Deric's treatment. However, she felt that the man in front of her was not doing what she wanted. That's why Caraline d

Caraline could only stand on the veranda with her mouth agape. The dress she was wearing was left splashing in the rain. When her eyes momentarily closed, she took a few steps back. Even so, the shock still refused to leave.Caraline let out a long breath. Her gaze was fixed on the falling rain. Several lightning bolts could be seen, accompanied by the deafening sound of thunder."What the hell is going on!" said Caraline, her voice rising at the end of her sentence. She eyed her wet appearance in the front. How annoying. Why did the rain come at a time she had been waiting for so long?Caraline clucked in annoyance. Her jaw tightened as her hands clenched into tight fists. The image of her being with Deric was instantly shattered by the rain, even though she had been waiting for this night for several days. There was also no way she could brave the rain to get to the promised place.Caraline retreated again as the wind carried the raindrops deeper into the veranda. The flash of light

Caraline got out as soon as the wheelchair pulled up on the porch. Unexpectedly, Deric also took shelter on the porch. Occasionally the woman glanced at Deric, then observed her appearance which was wet in several parts. It was annoying, the rain had again thwarted her moment of togetherness with the man."This rain sucks," Caraline said as she glanced at Deric She threw her jacket at the man in an animated manner. "Especially when I'm stuck with a guy like you.""You know, rain is one of the signs that God loves us," Deric said without turning to Caraline. He opened his right hand to collect the rainwater. "With every drop, an angel is guarding it."Caraline rolled her eyes, shifting her body slightly to get closer to Deric. The air outside was getting colder at the moment, but she didn't want to enter the house just yet. Being alone with Deric at a time like this was a rare moment. Of course, she did not want to waste it. Being stuck for a few hours was something she could do."Rain

"I guess being honest doesn't always hurt," Deric said."What do you mean?" Caraline scrunched up her waist. Deric seemed to be insinuating."Forget it."Caraline clucked and started to open the door. She walked into the house first. Deric followed close behind."We can watch in this room." Caraline led Deric to the family room. There was a large TV and an array of movie-watching equipment. She rarely spent time here. She would go straight to her room when she came home. After all, what family would she bring to this place?"This is a nice place," Deric said as he surveyed the surroundings."I-I'll go change first." Caraline left the room, glancing at Deric to see if he had turned to her or not. She had to be disappointed as the man's attention was still on the viewing room.Caraline entered the room with an exasperated face. The woman sneered at Deric as she changed her clothes. Her body was wrapped in dark red sleeping pajamas. She deliberately wore clothes that were a bit revealing
