"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

Caraline held her breath for a moment, quickly closing her eyes because she didn't want to see the show on TV. It was annoying, why did her time with Deric have to be spent watching horror movies?"Oh my." Caraline hurriedly released her grip on Deric's waist, then scooted to the end of the chair. She was so scared and surprised that she accidentally hugged Deric. It was embarrassing, but she liked it."Why do we have to watch a shitty movie like this?" Caraline covered her face with a pillow. She peeked at the TV for a moment, then turned to Deric."Are you afraid of horror movies?" asked Deric without looking at the TV screen, "I can change it if you want."Caraline snorted in annoyance. Deric seemed to be insinuating. "I-I'm... not scared. It's just that I thought we could watch another movie."Deric turned his head with a chuckle. "You must be scared.""Stop it. You're making the atmosphere even creepier.""Let me guess, you must like comedy genre movies?" snapped Deric."Don't ta

To make her plan a success, the first thing Caraline did was move her bottles to the center of the table. After that, she pretended to drink her chocolate milk until it was the same as Deric's. The next step was to exchange the man's drink for hers. However, she had to put the bottles together first. That way, Deric wouldn't suspect that the drinks were switched.Caraline let out a long breath as her plan succeeded. A smile spread across her lips. In the dimly lit room, her face seemed to glow with happiness mixed with tension. "This way Deric and I will be kissing each other indirectly," she murmured."Did you enjoy the movie?" asked Deric as he turned his head."Of course," Caraline replied. She quickly grabbed a pillow, covering half of her face. However, when she looked at the screen, a scary-looking creature with blood flowing suddenly appeared. She was so frightened that she hugged Deric again.Caraline pretended to be closed during the hug. She deliberately hugged Deric quite s
