Diego was taken aback when Caraline's face sagged towards his chest. The man felt his heart rate increase twice as fast. He quickly gave the musicians the code to leave the venue.Time was ticking away. Diego still faithfully used his chest as a pillow for Caraline. He dozed off for a while and when he woke up it was three in the morning.Diego enjoyed that more than any pleasure he'd ever had. Caraline's charms were a feast for his eyes as well as his heart. His sleepiness suddenly vanished into thin air. This was an opportunity that wouldn't come around twice.Diego wanted to take Caraline to his room so she could fall asleep in comfort. However, he didn't want to wake the CEO of the Mimiline Group and make her think anything when he picked her up.Diego took in Caraline's beautiful features. The woman had a sharp gaze, haughty and seductive at the same time. On top of that, Caraline was blessed with fair skin and a well-proportioned body, it was obvious that the woman cared for her
Caraline was instantly stunned when she heard Deric's voice. Her cell phone slowly moved away from her ear. Her jaw was so rotten that her mouth gaped like a cave. As time passed, her fear gradually subsided. When her condition slowly stabilized, the woman quickly wiped away tears, turning around."I'm here," Deric said with a smile.Caraline looked at the wheelchair lying nearby. The woman looked at Deric and the object several times in a turn. "What the hell is going on?"Caraline backed away slowly. She almost thought Deric had fallen into the lake and drowned. Although she knew that the man could swim, the depth of the lake was not something that the disabled man could easily handle.However, in reality, Caraline saw Deric in the canoe, sitting with his hand on the paddle. Meanwhile, his legs seemed to be aligned and there was no sign of movement."Is the cold making your tears fall?" Deric asked."What the hell are you DOING!" screeched Caraline in a raised voice at the end of th
A smile never faded from Caraline's face. She never seemed to tire of scanning her surroundings. Her eyes sparkled every time the light changed color.If forced to be honest, Caraline had no regrets about accepting Deric's offer. She just couldn't believe that he could prepare all of this in just one night, even though his movements were limited by a wheelchair."When God takes something away from you, He strengthens another part of you," Deric said.Caraline turned around. The first thing she saw was the movement of Deric's hands, which were focused on rowing. Her gaze shifted to Deric's muscular arms and shoulders as he paddled the canoe. Deric had been paddling this canoe for quite some time, but Caraline saw no sign of fatigue. [If you can't walk with your legs, you just have to try to walk with your arms. Lack doesn't mean you have to give up]Caraline suddenly remembered Deric's words the other day. It was possible that what he had just said was directed at his condition. There
Deric stiffened when the brief kiss landed on his cheek. His eyes rounded in disbelief. The man never thought that Caraline would kiss him, a gift that never even crossed his mind.Deric soon smiled. His frozen body gradually returned to normal. "Thank you."Caraline slowly opened her eyes. Her body instantly froze when she realized that she was once again in the crook of Deric's neck. Her tension melted away as a blush graced her cheeks. Slowly, the woman looked to the side, and the first thing she saw was Deric and his charming smile.Caraline reflexively pulled back. She looked at Deric with an incredulous gaze. Her heart was filled with an unfamiliar, yet strangely comforting feeling. On the other hand, her lips trembled as if she wanted to say a series of sentences. Her breathing was suddenly racing rapidly."I-I... I'm ...." Caraline felt as if her body was about to melt away like a syrupy solution. Nonetheless, there was a relief she felt, as if the burden that was clogging her
Helen was pacing back and forth in her office. The bespectacled woman occasionally glanced at her watch and cell phone screen. It was almost eleven am, but there was no sign that Caraline was coming."Did something happen to her?" Helen opened the window to the room, drawing in oxygen greedily. She hoped the fresh air would relieve some of the tension.Helen contacted Caraline for the umpteenth time. Neither her calls nor her texts were responded to. This was highly unusual. If anything had happened, Caraline would have contacted her immediately.Helen was not deterred. She tried calling Caraline's home phone number. However, the call was not connected at all. "I have a feeling that something is going on with Miss Caraline."Helen decided to sit down in her work chair, taking a sip of hot tea to calm her nerves a little. Her fingers drummed on the table, debating whether to go to Caraline's residence immediately or stay in the office for a while longer."I'll wait about ten minutes,"
Caraline blinked slowly. When she opened her eyes, the woman felt her head grow dizzy. Her vision seemed to blur as she scanned her surroundings. She changed to a sitting position as she massaged her forehead. "What is happening to me?" "Miss Caraline," called three maids in unison. Their gazes held obvious concern.Caraline scanned the room again. In addition to the maids standing at the bedside, she also saw a woman in a white coat coming out of the room."What's happening to me?" repeated Caraline as one by one her consciousness came back together. Her hand began to descend to her brow and cheek and then stopped at her lips. The footage of the kiss suddenly returned.Caraline stiffened. Her eyes opened wide like they were going to jump out. She hoped that the kiss was just a bad dream. However, when she realized that the clothes she was wearing were the same ones she had worn when she met Deric, she immediately dropped back down."Miss Caraline!" the maids chanted as they approach
Caraline quickly picked up Deric's gift which she luckily found behind the trash can. She got up with her hands behind her back, then moved slowly towards the dressing table."Do you still need some time?" asked Helen, who thought Caraline was acting a little strange."One more minute," Caraline said, giving the code with one finger. "Give me one more minute, Helen.""I understand." Helen quickly left the room.Caraline quickly hid the gift under the pillow. "You put me in a difficult situation. What an annoying man!"Caraline sat on the couch, being as calm as possible, "Come in, Helen."Helen re-entered the room, taking her place in front of Caraline. "How are you at the moment, Miss?""I'm... fine," Caraline replied in a flat tone."I was really worried when I heard you fainted.""I... fainted?" Caraline pointed at herself. The shock was painted on her features. She had not expected this to happen to her at all. However, upon further thought, it seemed to be a reasonable answer as
"What do you mean, Grace?" asked Caraline with a sharp look. "How could Deric have made ....?"Caraline closed her eyes as she massaged her temples. She had no intention of finishing her sentence after hearing the truth. Caraline never thought that Deric would give her another surprise."Miss Caraline," Grace said, her eyes flickering over Caraline. The woman tried to shake off the fear. "According to the maids, Mr. Deric rushed to the garden to pick strawberries after hearing that you were unconscious. Shortly after, he gave the juice to me and told me to give it to you when you regain consciousness.""Go on." Caraline got up from the sofa, walking towards the window that separated the room from the balcony. Her eyes narrowed to search for Deric's whereabouts. The delicious flavor of the juice was still lingering in her mouth. "How can he make such delicious juice?""Do you have ear trouble, Grace?" asked Caraline when she saw that the maid was still in place. "I just asked you to le
