"I want to kiss you. Can I?" Suzie said, smiling as she looked at him, her eyes sincere and passionate.Moe was stunned. "Kiss?""Mmhmm." Suzie nodded, still smiling. Moe, without hesitation, declined, "No.""I won't kiss you here." Suzie lightly touched his lips with her index finger and then moved her hand to his cheek. "I want to kiss you here.""We're not really… " Moe tried to refuse.Suzie interrupted him, "Just tell me if you agree or not.""I don't. I have some work to attend to. Please make yourself at home," Moe said seriously, a faint blush appearing on his usually cold face.With that, Moe turned to leave, showing no intention of staying any longer. Suzie blocked his path and cornered him against the wall, saying, "Wait."Moe's breathing instinctively slowed as Suzie drew closer. She was close enough that when he lowered his gaze, he could see her distinct eyelashes and flawless fair skin."Tell me why you don't agree," Suzie pressed on. She wanted to win him o
"Mm," Moe responded softly.Afterward, Moe continued working in his study while Suzie sat beside him, watching him work. Maybe it was the exhaustion from the day's events, or perhaps it was due to not getting enough rest the previous night, but at some point, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, falling gently against Moe's shoulder.Initially, Moe thought she was just teasing him again. He was about to say something when he noticed she had truly fallen asleep. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheeks, and her flawless skin appeared delicate and smooth, looking so innocent.As he watched her, Moe found himself unconsciously brushing a few stray strands of hair away from her cheek. After doing so, he suddenly realized that this gesture might be too intimate and hastily pulled his hand back. A while later, he shut down his computer and carried her to her bedroom. Moe gently placed Suzie on the bed, covering her with a blanket, and then returned to his study to continu
With that in mind, Moe made a phone call to arrange his work for the upcoming days. Once he had ensured that everything was in order, he stood up and headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.After sharing a meal that evening, they sat together on the couch, watching a movie on TV. After some contemplation, Moe finally mustered the courage to ask, "Suzie.""Hmm?" "Have you been feeling upset or troubled lately?"Suzie shook her head. "No, not at all. Why do you ask?"Thinking that she wanted to keep her problems to herself, Moe kept his cool, maintaining his usual tone. "I want you to know that I'm your boyfriend now. You can always tell me if you have any difficulties or things that bother you. I'll help you." Suzie's eyes widened in surprise. She gently touched his forehead, wondering if he might be coming down with a fever. Moe was puzzled by her actions. "What are you doing?"Suzie asked, "Are you feeling okay?"Moe raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine.""I thought you might be
"I didn't expect this side of you, Moe," Suzie teased, her ears tinged with a blush. Then, she added seriously, "If you wanted me to kiss you on the lips, you should have just asked instead of playing these little tricks.""I wasn't trying to trick you," Moe quickly explained. He simply wanted to ask her something, not anticipate a kiss. Yet, who could have guessed that Suzie would kiss him right then?Suzie's heart raced, but she kept her composure. "Mmhmm. Sure…""You don't believe me," Moe said, sensing her doubt."I didn't say I don't believe you," Suzie replied, her mind still swimming in the sensation of their recent kiss. Soft and sweet.Moe argued stubbornly, "You don't believe me.""I really don't," Suzie replied, playing along. She really wanted to kiss him again, so she decided to continue with her playful banter. "You just happened to turn when I kissed you. Clearly, you wanted to take advantage of me."Moe fell silent. He wanted to explain, but how could he? What ha
Suzie was stunned, appearing uneasy as she pursed her lips. Seeing her silence, Moe calmly pressed on, "Is that right?""So what?" Suzie playfully argued, forcefully suppressing her complex and uneasy emotions. "Even if you didn't do it intentionally, you still took away my first kiss. In the end, the result is the same."Moe continued to stare at her.Suzie tightened her grip on the glass. Oh dear, when did Moe's presence become so overpowering? She was finding it increasingly difficult to keep her composure."Alright, you're right." Moe conceded as if he had come to terms with her reasoning.Suzie blinked, still not entirely processing his response.Moe stood up, taking the glass from her hand, and asked, "Hot or cold water?""Huh?" Suzie remained somewhat dazed."Aren't you thirsty?""Warm water.""Alright."Moe poured her a glass of lukewarm water, then handed it back to her. As he did, he briefly explained his plans for the next two weeks, saying, "I'll be staying
"Yes," Moe replied promptly."If you're lying to me, I'll never find happiness in this lifetime." Suzie's eyes sparkled with innocence, and her tone was light and cheerful.Moe frowned. He was not accustomed to people staking their future on his words.Suzie, noticing his prolonged silence, pressed on, "Well?""No way." Moe was a particularly earnest person, and he took such matters very seriously."Then just be honest," Suzie said. She did not want their relationship to turn into a checklist of tasks, completed one by one as if it were just another work schedule. She wanted to lead him into a genuine romance. "Why did you postpone your work to be with me? It doesn't match your workaholic persona."Moe remained silent.Suzie fixed her gaze on him. "Are you not going to tell me?""I want to protect you. Yoel told me about the weird guy from your blind date who has been harassing you, and I wanted to help you get rid of that trouble," Moe succumbed to her questioning, honestly co
In just a few days, they were already living together? She was unusually efficient! "This isn't something you should be concerned about," Suzie added. Her purpose for the call to Yoel was to avoid gossiping too much about Moe. "You should enjoy your honeymoon trip with your wife."Yoel glanced at his wife, who was watching TV on the couch, and refrained from prying further.After hanging up the phone, Suzie started her skincare routine, washing her face and applying a face mask. Over the next few days, she mostly stayed at home, occasionally going out to buy some daily necessities. When she arrived, she had only packed a few things, leaving many of her belongings behind.On Tuesday, Suzie made plans to meet up with her girlfriends to go shopping at the mall. They started by browsing the stores, and Suzie bought several outfits, some for herself and some for Moe. When they got tired, they decided to eat at a restaurant.As they settled down at their table, an unexpected guest ar
"Exactly!""Shut up!" Brandon's rage was boiling inside him.Everyone obediently fell silent. "Send someone to keep an eye on her," Brandon ordered angrily. While he could not directly harm Suzie, he could still pester her. "Once you find her current address, let me know.""Alright," they all agreed.Suzie's mood for shopping was dampened. She knew Brandon's temperament well. He might not be capable, but he had an explosive temper. However, if she had not acted the way she did earlier, he would have likely become even more infuriating. There was no telling what unpleasantness might have unfolded at the restaurant.Thinking about this, Suzie rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself. After lunch with her girlfriends, she planned to drive back home. However, as she was exiting the parking lot, she was blocked.A group of people dressed in black surrounded her car, all holding a stick. Each of them was tall and imposing, with fierce looks.Suzie was instantly anxious. Knock, k
