The rain poured down heavily shortly after the car carrying Caraline left the cemetery. Drops of water were trapped in the windows of the vehicle. Caraline took a deep breath, smiling as she looked at the photos of her family on her phone screen. Losing three precious people was never easy, and she knew how painful it was."I promise I'll keep moving forward no matter how hard it gets," Caraline said, "I have Deric to look after and be happy for."Caraline leaned back in the chair, looking out the window. Her finger wrote her name, followed by a heart underneath, then ending with Deric's name. The woman chuckled when she realized her actions were very childish. Her hand moved to erase the writing. However, she abandoned the idea and grabbed her phone to take a picture.Caraline looked at the capture. "This is a good picture."The car stopped at a red light. Caraline looked at the photo again. As she was about to turn off the phone, she accidentally swiped the screen. Various pictures
The rain was still pouring down on Heaventown. A car entered a skyscraper. Several men in black uniforms escorted a man in a dark blue suit into the building's lobby. Several staff members bowed respectfully when they saw Diego.Diego and his two assistants entered the elevator to get to the top floor. The man exited as soon as the doors opened automatically. His two assistants walked him to the door of a room, then chose to walk away.Diego entered the room, smiling when he saw Wilson and Catherine."I apologize for my tardiness," Diego said as he sat down in front of Wilson and Catherine. "The streets of Heaventown aren't friendly to businessmen like us anymore. Maybe I'll consider taking a private jet.""That's a good idea," Wilson said, "isn't it, Catherine?"Catherine didn't hear Wilson's words as she was too focused on watching the rain outside. For some reason, her mind was on Deric. The woman had mobilized a team to find out the man's identity. However, until this moment she h
Caraline was ready to spend the night with Deric. The woman seemed to be busy observing her appearance at the dressing table. She was uncomfortable with the outfit she was wearing. However, she was willing to do so to surprise Deric."Deric made a fuss of me. He also forced me to go on such a cold night," Caraline said as she arranged her hair. The woman took a step back, strutting in front of the mirror. "Perfect."Caraline grabbed her bag after confirming her appearance once more. She exited the room with a deep breath. For the umpteenth time, she was nervous just to see Deric. The house had been quiet since earlier. The maids had left the main building."Where's Deric?" Caraline rolled her eyes, sitting on one of the dining table chairs. "He always keeps me waiting. And somehow he often surprises me by suddenly appearing near me."Caraline stomped on the floor, turning to the main door. In the few minutes she had been there, she had found no sign that Deric would be arriving. "I wi
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!" snapped Caraline with a sideways glance.The car slowly drove away from the residence. Caraline closed her eyes as she pinched her thigh. She was too embarrassed to even look at Deric right now. That man seemed to be skinning her alive."You're doing it right now," Deric said."Then don't talk to me!" Caraline chuckled."Okay." Deric pressed a few buttons on the car."What are you doing?" asked Caraline, who was suspicious of Deric's actions. The man seemed adept at operating the buttons on this vehicle.Deric was silent, leaning back into the seat.Caraline half-turned around, looking at Deric with an annoyed look. She was silent for a moment before she finally understood what to do. "You can talk to me again. Now tell me, what are you doing?""I'm just sending the address of the location we're going to," Deric replied calmly."How did you come to understand the function of these buttons?" probed Caraline."That was easy enough. First, I observe
Caraline suddenly got out of the wheelchair, walking quickly through the crowd of people. Her arms were folded in front of her chest, staring at Deric for a moment with piercing eyes."What's wrong?" asked Deric as he turned the wheelchair around. "Why are you suddenly getting off?"Caraline stopped on the other side of the road, stepping back onto the beach. Her face pouted until her cheeks puffed up like balloons. "Deric is such a jerk. How dare he keep a picture of a woman without my knowledge. He doesn't respect my feelings. How annoying."Caraline continued to grumble until she sat down on a lounger overlooking the beach. She saw many couples enjoying the view of the beach and the food around them. Her stomach was hungry, but she was suddenly reluctant to eat with Deric.On the other hand, Deric with his limitations was trying to find Caraline's whereabouts. He couldn't call her by name because it would raise suspicion. His gaze scanned the surroundings as he crushed the road, cu
Caraline stiffened with rounded eyes. Deric's words just now continued to occupy her mind like the buzzing of bees. Her face quickly turned crimson, not because of the rage that boiled up, but because of the overwhelming feeling of shame. She had made the wrong assumption about the woman. Caraline quickly turned her head to the side, her eyes closed with her hands on her thighs. Gosh, she was so burning with jealousy that her mind was not normal. She was so embarrassed that she shivered when she remembered her childish behavior. Caraline cleared her throat, sipping her drink as she gazed out at the sea. She was suddenly relieved to know that the beautiful woman was Deric's mother. All she had to do now was go back to her normal behavior and pretend it was a dream. "Oh." Caraline could only respond with a short word. She did not know what to do now. "My mother has always loved the beach and the sea," Deric said, "whenever we go on vacation, she often takes me to play there. Building
Caraline and Deric soon entered the photo booth. "I sometimes die in front of the camera," Deric said. "It's the camera that would die if it took a picture of you," Caraline snapped while looking at the colorful ornaments in this place. Honestly, this was her first time visiting a photo booth. Back in school, she had only heard of her friends taking pictures with their friends or lovers. Although with the power and money she had now, Caraline could afford to buy dozens of these things, in reality, she was unfamiliar with almost all types of entertainment. Her busy work schedule prevented her from enjoying even the slightest bit of fun in this kind of environment. "That's a good joke," Deric said as he got ready. He looked at the small camera in front of him. "Get ready because it's going to take a picture of us." "What's going on?" asked Caraline in confusion. She took off her hat when Deric took off his hat. "Hey, I haven't." A flash of silvery light photographed them. "Oh my."
Caraline was shocked when she realized that Deric's face was in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the man's pink lips. This raised the possibility that Deric was about to kiss her.Caraline tried to stay calm even though her chest felt like it was bursting with fireworks. Her face was suddenly flushed from the pressure this situation created. She had been waiting for this to happen, but was it possible that she and Deric were going to kiss?Caraline suddenly closed her eyes as she felt Deric move closer to her face. She willed herself to calm down in the face of the momentous event that was about to take place tonight. If Deric asked for more than just a kiss, she would not be reluctant to give him one. She would be cursing herself constantly if the sudden fainting spell happened again.Caraline waited with her heart on the verge of bursting. However, for several seconds, nothing happened."What are you doing?" asked Deric.Caraline suddenly opened her eyes. She s
