★★★ “What is he doing, Cornell? It is almost time for dinner,” Jessica questioned Cornell, who was clinging to his mother. Every time she wanted to go to the kitchen, he was chasing her away, telling her that she would cause an interruption in Liam's cooking. Jessica had no concept of how her presence would interfere with his cooking when all she wanted to know was how long his food would take to finish. “I have seen the meals, Mum. Most importantly, they smell savory and are almost ready,” Cornell spoke out quickly, drawing her mother's attention to him. He had anticipated Liam would complete making dinner in two hours, but more than two hours passed with no aroma wafting from the kitchen. “I do believe you, but, strangely, you're stopping me from going to the kitchen. Would you kindly move aside so I can see what he is putting together for dinner?" Jessica took a step forward towards the kitchen, gently shoving Cornell out of the way. Almost instantaneously, a strong burning smel
★★★When the meals were prepared and placed on the wooden table, it was half past nine. Due to the cabin being surrounded by trees, the quiet sound of fireflies and the noise of moving cutlery were combined. Three people sat at the table and started to enjoy the delicious supper that Jessica had prepared.Three bowls of ramen, together with bread and a unique sauce that Liam had never tasted before, were served. Liam was unable to control his desire to taste the sauce repeatedly.At that point, Cornell put down his spoon and exclaimed,"Mom, everything is excellent, but I am out of places to eat more. Can I retire to my room while you and Liam have dinner?""Are you certain?" Jessica inquired as to if he was full.“Yes, mom. I cannot consume food anymore," Cornell remarked with a rush in his voice, and handed Jessica the half-eaten Ramen."Alright!! But do not go to bed without brushing your teeth," Jessica reminded him what he needed to do before falling asleep.“As you have
★★★ “Your dislike for him will not change the fact that he is a good man and a useful friend, which is why I have never made him feel terrible or intentionally hurt his emotions. Otherwise, I prevent letting him be near me," Jessica murmured, her eyes fixed on the glass as she recalled some moments of her past, and they felt painful still. Then she brought the wine close to her mouth and took a little sip of the sweet wine. Liam found her lost as she displayed how she felt towards that jerk; it made him ponder about what had happened to her in the past that had given her so much sorrow. Rilika had told him that her step-sister had gone abroad to study but had become pregnant. He was not interested in Jessica's story at the time primarily because he was unfamiliar with her. Consequently, he had no idea that the same person was going to amaze him and lure him into her world. And now, he felt an impulse in his body to discover more about her past while also wanting to usurp Chris' plac
★★★★“How did you come to like Rilika, then? She would not be your first option for a girlfriend if I understand you correctly,”Jessica muttered while simultaneously displaying intense emotion on every inch of her face. She might not be able to explain her motivation for asking this. Her heart was the one that compelled her to talk about it.Liam inhaled deeply, wondering why it had taken her so long to ask him about this when he had anticipated to hear from her sooner.“I was at a small party seven years ago with some well-known businessmen in attendance. Under my nose, my drinks had been tampered with by a businessman, so I was severely intoxicated. After that, I found myself in my room, totally unconscious, when...!!”"Mumma! Mumma!”They sprang out of panic when they both heard Cornell scream from the room. They stepped out of one other's grasp and rushed towards the room.“Cornell, what happened?” Jessica held her son in her embrace.“I saw a light flash outside of the w
★★★ Because everyone had gone asleep in their respective rooms, the cabin grew silent, as a result, the faint sound of insects became louder, but it was still pleasant to sleep in them. Cornell had his head on the pillow, but his hand gripped Jessica's arm securely, as though he felt safe with her touch. Jessica was also in a deep sleep since she was exhausted from the travel and the additional tiredness from last-minute cooking. This was not the case with Liam, who tossed and turned on the bed for almost a full hour but was unable to get his eyes to close. He felt lonely and had to put up with the aggravation of not being able to grab her in his arm, even though they were very close to each other. In frustration, Liam sat up and surveyed his room. There was a thought in his mind that made him ponder for a brief movement, and he could not stay on the bed. He tossed the sheet aside and walked towards the door, before exiting. Liam approached Jessica's room, unsure whether it was app
★★★Jessica reluctantly moved her head at Liam and looked intently into his eyes. She was unable to adequately describe the beauty of his eyes, which were obscured by a dark cloud and filled with a sense of ecstasy that made her want to stay there longer because that was where peace dwelt.“I am not envious, but it does not mean any lady will want to wear someone else's used clothes, especially when I can borrow my own clothes if you let me know in advance about this trip you are planning," Jessica answered, making an effort to contain her aberrant reddish hue.“I can see right into your soul, therefore you cannot fool me," Liam uttered huskily and breathed in her aroma, which had combined with a floral scent since she had taken a shower before getting into bed. He did not know much about women, and this topic had never really interested him. However, ever since he met Jessica, a lot of things had come along with her that he wanted to touch and appreciate, even though he could not
★★★ “Stefen,” a female voice called Stefen from behind when he was smoking outside of a bar after ending the life of that doctor. He wanted to run back to Jessica's house to see if she had returned, but a sudden impulse to smoke caused him to pull over. When he turned around, he saw Moon Waver with her pals, and the bags in their hands displayed that they were on their way home after shopping. Stefen did not let go of the cigarette, and neither he revealed any sort of smile at Moon who excitedly walked up to him along with her friends. “Are you planning to visit the pub behind you?" Moon asked Stefen as she peered over his shoulder to the bustling bar. Her hesitation could be felt in her voice since she did not think Stefen would be of the mindset to appreciate music given that Mr. Lawrence was in such poor condition. “No, this is not my choice, ever,” Stefen responded, blowing a chunk of smoke to the side in order to avoid making them uncomfortable. "Are you returning home?" He
★★★"Where are we going?" Jessica murmured as she calmly followed Liam to where he wanted her to go, ignoring their sleep.“Just follow me and you will love it," Liam said and started to climb the rooftop. As he did so, he looked down to check whether Jessica was having any difficulty doing so. He had no issue scooping her up on his shoulder and continuing to climb the rooftop.Jessica was perplexed when she discovered Liam was taking her on the rooftop; she had no idea why, and more peculiarly, a chill immediately came into contact with her due to the dense foliage. The cold made her teeth itch, but she did not complain because Liam seemed excited about whatever was going on the rooftop.As soon as she stepped onto the rooftop, she was astounded by the scene below, the cloud of fireflies roaming around the house, illuminating the ground. Looking up Jessica drank the beauty of the sky—most likely—the enormous moon that was clearly visible in the sky."Come here!” When she heard L
