“This place is really comfortable,” Mia said, making Jaxon laugh softly while sipping hot coffee. Mia also drank almost all the tea she had brewed. “You haven’t seen the best part yet,” Jaxon said, piquing Mia’s interest even more. “Do you still have any surprises for me?” Mia asked, teasing him. Jaxon smiled as he pulled Mia up. “Walk with me? I’ll take you to the lake right now.” They changed their clothes and headed for the path that led them to the lake, not far from the villa. Mia’s mouth almost opened wide when she found the lake had clear water so that she could see the fish swimming freely at her feet. The green bushes around them seemed to be overgrown with wildflowers, whose flowers were in perfect bloom, making her amazed without stopping. “Wow, I didn’t expect you to have a property near a lake as beautiful as this,” Mia muttered as she stared at the butterflies and dragonflies perched among the wildflowers. Jaxon laughed softly and helped Mia get closer to the deepe
Mia refused to go out or even take a walk after the snake incident near the lake. She didn’t want to meet that thing anytime soon. Mia was traumatized by the incident at the Red Cage Compound, so Jaxon decided to bring her back to Denver.While she was busy stuffing clothes into her bag, she asked, “Are you sure we’re going home right now?” Jaxon nodded and grabbed her hand, then told her to leave everything because someone would clean it up.“Staying here doesn’t make you happy either, so we should go back to the city,” Jaxon said, pulling Mia away from the closet.“What about these outfits? I’ve only worn them once,” Mia said, looking at the silk pajamas she wore hanging there.“One of the staff will collect it and donate it to goodwill,” Jaxon explained, which Mia found difficult to accept.Almost all of her clothes end up in the warehouse of the country’s largest used goods donation organization. Even though Mia can still wear it, she doesn’t have to buy new clothes every time J
“You have a lot of confidence, Mister Jaxon Bradwood,” Mia teased.While she doesn’t mind his domineering attitude, Jaxon can be the most annoying man in the world.Even though he possessed all of the women’s desires in a man, he was still a cold-blooded who would become hot-blooded when confronted by her. The accident before was just one example of Jaxon’s ability to do anything with his bare hands.When Jaxon got in the car, he just shrugged and put Mia on his lap.He chose to stay in the backseat with Mia and hold her in his arms until they arrived in Denver. Jaxon didn’t want to be separated from her anymore, even briefly, because the previous incident had also surprised him.Jaxon initially wanted to drive his own car. Still, after much deliberation, he asked one of his subordinates to do so.“You said we were alone at the villa,” Mia said in Jaxon’s ear, causing the corners of Jaxon’s lips to twitch.If Mia knew how many people were watching and targeting her, she would never wa
They had just arrived at Mia’s old apartment when Nana appeared out of nowhere and immediately pulled Mia into a hug as if they hadn’t seen each other in years.“Nana, let me go. Mia is getting short of breath.” Jaxon said as he separated his grandmother and pulled Mia into his arms as if both women were trying to hug each other.“You’ve been with this poor girl for a few days. Now it’s my turn,” Nana, who didn’t want to lose, said.Both of them locked gazes, leaving Mia perplexed about how to break them apart, but Henrieta present next to her relieved the girl a little.“You must be exhausted; we should drink tea or eat something,” Henrieta said as she pulled Mia away from their argument.“But...” Mia couldn’t bear to leave Nana and Jaxon, who appeared to be having a heated discussion. She could barely understand what they were saying. Just a hush voice that talk about Mia’s neck has a bruise.The girl was about to defend Jaxon when Henrieta abruptly led her into an elevator that too
“You have beautiful hair,” said the woman who was now applying make-up and tidying Mia’s hair into a bun.“Mmm... thanks?” Mia did not know whether to accept the compliment or ask because suddenly, she was surrounded by many women who began to change her appearance from head to toe.Meanwhile, Nana seemed busy giving instructions on how Mia should look, from make-up to the hairstyle. But strangely, all the instructions are the same as the make-up Mia wants on her wedding day.“Nana?” called Mia in confusion.“What’s wrong, Mia?” Nana asked as she approached and helped smooth the side of her hair that was hanging out.“Why am I dressed like this? Shouldn’t we just cut my hair? “Gia waved her hand in the air and said, in a very soft tone, “Oh, you’re so beautiful. And it’s just a family tradition.”Mia remembered how Jaxon explained that Nana was desperate to create a wedding party, and she was the old woman’s only hope.Touched by her generosity, Mia also tries to give in and let Nana
Mia’s head turned around in confusion mixed with surprise because she saw that from the street to the gate, all sides of the road were decorated with various flowers and beautiful decorations. Her shock didn’t stop there. Because as soon as she arrived in front of Aurelia Castle, Mia was greeted very vivaciously by the uniformed guards. As if they were in the fairytale world that she encountered in the Disney series.“What’s going on at Aurelia?”Mia’s head kept staring out the window, and she asked Garret who was behind the wheel.“Today is a big celebration, Miss Heart,” Garrett replied, slowing down as they passed through the gates.“Wow, I’ve never seen Aurelia decorated this fancy. It feels like being in a different universe,” said Mia with a look of admiration because the castle had become more colorful than the first time she set foot there a few months ago.It’s still vivid in Mia’s memory as she carried the bagpack containing the yellow envelope she had brought from Blueberry
Gia was worried when she saw Mia having trouble breathing and suddenly scratching her body and face is complicated, painful ways. This made her even more nervous when the girl started crying hysterically and saying she felt hot, then she sat down on the floor, crying out loud.“Nana!” Mia screamed, which caused red bumps to appear on her body.Tears started to fall down her cheeks, and she was also trying to remove accessories on her body. Still, Gia quickly held her hand, and several guards who had been guarding her started to arrive, then helped them.“What happened?” asked Snow with a pale face, thinking Mia was seriously injured.Gia looked around, and her gaze fell on the Snow on Mountain flowers in a vase around the connecting door to the rose garden.Henrieta, who saw the same thing, asked, “How long has that flower been there?”Snow glanced at the flower that was the topic of conversation. As he remembered, all the flowers placed around the castle were from several florists an
Jaxon’s gaze looked far in front of the room window where Mia was currently lying. Often, he glanced over his shoulder at the girl sleeping on the bed with the IV in her hand.Swelling on her face and red bumps on her skin seem to have subsided.Jaxon sighed and returned to Mia side. He stroked her face, which was puffy from crying for too long. At the very least, Mia is no longer bothered by itching and heat that spreads throughout her body.“I didn’t know she was allergic to certain types of flowers,” said Jaxon when he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening without taking his eyes off the girl lying in front of him. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have let those flowers adorn Aurelia.”“It’s not your fault,” Rey replied as he approached the foot of the bed. “At least she’s not allergic to roses.”Jaxon snorted and brought Mia’s hand to his lips.“Connor has already cleaned up the Snow on Mountain flowers from Aurelia, and now there’s an unwritten prohibition against them around Ca
