After assessing the situation for a while, Coco turned her head and looked around, feeling dumbfounded. "We're… on the plane?""Yes," Lucas confirmed."When did I get on the plane? I was…" She blurted out, momentarily lost in thought."I didn't wake you up this morning. You were sleeping so soundly, so I carried you to the plane," Lucas explained.Coco's breath hitched. Which meant he had carried her out of the villa to the car, then to the airport and the plane? Even though they were traveling on a private jet, many people must have seen him carrying her into the airport to board the plane. What was she doing at that time? Did she drool or talk in her sleep?Coco wondered, so embarrassed she could dig a hole and bury herself.As if realizing her concern, Lucas reassured, "Don't worry. No one saw your face. You were wrapped in a blanket, and your face was buried in my arms. No one could have seen what you looked like.""Really?" Coco was doubtful."What? Why would I lie to yo
After getting off the plane, Coco turned on her phone again. Once connected to the internet, she saw many of Minnie's messages from their private chat.Coco opened the messenger and saw her best friend's messages."Coco, congratulations. You’ve gone viral again." Minnie had included a screenshot. It was a photo of Lucas walking into the airport while carrying her in his arms.There were more messages from Minnie. "Coco, both of you are too sweet!""Hurry up and look at the hot search! Many people are guessing that you both were too intense last night!""By the way, have you arrived at your destination yet…"Coco panicked as she saw the messages from her friends. She did a quick search online and found the news about her ranking thirteenth on the hot search. Looking at the current trend, the rank would climb higher in a few moments.Coco clicked on the result and found photos and videos of her. In the video, she was wrapped in a blanket, just like Lucas had said. Her face was bur
Coco was ready to do whatever it took to be a part of Lucas' life, even if it meant adapting to challenges such as these. Lucas realized this, so he grabbed Coco's hand and gently kissed her palm."Hmm?" Coco stared at him, her eyes filled with surprise."You're a good wife. It's a privilege and honor to have married you," Lucas said."I am honored to take you as my husband." She gave him a bright smile.Over the next few days, Coco and Lucas spent their days exploring the city. It was an art city with a strong comic book vibe. Coco even visited some of the famous cartoonists based in this city.At night, she would video call her friends and chat with them. Sometimes, Minnie, Serenity, Clara, Summer, and Lisa would join the video call together, and it felt like they were having an online tea party."So, how’s your honeymoon?" Minnie asked."It’s great," Coco answered."Maybe when you get back from your honeymoon, you'll be pregnant," Minnie teased.Coco almost spat out her d
"You're overthinking things, Lisa, They're still kids," Clara muttered."I'm not overthinking it," Lisa protested. "Fred and Jackie are childhood friends. Do you see the way he looks at Jackie? Teen love is getting more and more common these days. Fred may fall in love with Jackie once they get a few years older.""Yeah. Kids grow up quickly. I think Fred really likes Jackie too," Coco chimed in."Will we find that little boy? But the kids may get into a love triangle when they grow up…" Lisa had dozens of scenarios running through her head as she sighed. "Serenity, are you going to find that little boy?" "Jack promised he would help find him. It's just a matter of time. Once we find him, we'll arrange for Jackie to meet him," Serenity replied.While they were talking about the little boy, Lucas came to Coco's side. "Still chatting?" He had just gotten out of the bathroom, still wearing a bathrobe.A scream of excitement came from the phone before Coco could even answer."Oh, m
His voice was such a low, seductive purr she could barely resist! "I understand…" Coco stammered, her face red. On the very same night, she finally realized how men could be quite petty sometimes!-Jacqueline was happy with the good news. Jackson had told her that he had found the boy she was looking for and that he had even arranged to meet the boy and his parents. While getting ready in the morning, she even picked out her favorite white dress and paired it with pink shoes and a hair clip on her hair. "When you see Morris, don't scare him," Serenity warned her daughter, who looked adorable in her white dress and pink accessories. The little girl was passionate about the piano and extremely talented at it. However, she was overenthusiastic whenever she met another kid who played well. Even so, it was rare to find a kid her age who could play well, at least to her standards. There were multiple times when Jackie met other kids who were good at the piano, and she would approach t
Jacqueline listened and promised her mother, "Mommy, I'm not going to be a bully. If Morris doesn't want to, I'll find another way to convince him to play for me.” Serenity could not help but laugh. Jacqueline seemed so confident as if she had a few ideas up her sleeve.When they came to the agreed place to meet, Serenity finally met the boy for the first time. The boy looked a little shorter than Jackie, and his shirt and shoes were so worn it was practically rags. The couple standing next to the boy must be the child's parents. Judging from the way they were dressed, they looked like a family living at the bottom of society.Serenity was perplexed by the situation. Was this really the boy Jacqueline was looking for?Learning piano was expensive. The most basic piano lesson would cost between $40 to $60. Jacqueline said he played the piano very well, which meant he must have been learning for quite some time.Could a poor family afford long-term piano lessons? Or could they have
Standing beside Morris, Marrisa said to her son again, "Morris! Jacqueline wants to hear you play the piano, so play it for her!" What a good chance to show off his piano playing!Morris got even more flustered. He had overheard his parents' conversation at home. If Jacqueline liked his piano playing, this would be a chance for his family to rewrite their fate. His parents had high hopes for this.Part of him was still afraid. He had secretly learned to play the piano, and he only knew a few songs. What if he played horribly? What if Jacqueline hated it? What should he do then?Jacqueline frowned slightly, thinking of a way to resolve this. She had promised not to be a bully, but she really wanted Morris to play the piano for her. It seemed he was unwilling, so she offered, "How about this? I'll play a song for you, and you play one for me?"Morris blinked in surprise, obviously not expecting such an offer. He was suddenly curious about the kind of music she would play."Please?"
Jacqueline had a straightforward personality, especially when it came to stuff related to the piano. She would ramble on without holding back.“Your transition here isn’t very smooth, and you slowed down here…” Jacqueline pointed out. Then, she played a few notes to show Morris his mistake. Morris listened carefully. No one had ever pointed out his errors so clearly before.“You’ll get it with some practice. You’ll play Chasse-neige perfectly if you keep practicing. Shall we try another piece?” Jacqueline asked. She continued playing another piece and looked at Morris with a smile, encouraging him to continue.Morris hesitated for a moment before starting to play a different piece.And so, they took turns playing one piece after another. Serenity, who was listening, noticed that Morris had a talent for piano. However, each piece he played had similar issues because of his inexperience. "Seems like Jacqueline is very interested in playing the piano with him,” Serenity said t
