She asked softly, "Where are we going?"
"You will know once you reach there."
Carl Black started the engine and the wheels started moving on the road. The journey was quiet. Nobody spoke for a long time. She was looking outside through the windshield while he was busy driving. Eventually, she turned her head to look at him and broke the silence, "What do you like to do other than teaching?"
Carl Black glanced at her and asked, "Why did you ask this, all of a sudden?"
"I want to know about you more." She paused for a few seconds before asking again, "What? Can't I ask you?"
"Of course you can.” He let out
Time passed very fast. A few days later, Helen Black invited the Holmes family for dinner. She was very busy instructing the servants what dishes should be cooked. This was the first time the Holmes family was coming for dinner, and she didn't want to make any mistake. She must not let down the face of the Black family. She also prepared gifts for them. She was running around to make sure that everything had been arranged perfectly. When Carl Black came back from college, he saw his mother shouting at the servants and running around. He frowned and asked, "Mom, what is going on? Why are you running around?" Helen Black turned around and saw him. She blurted out, "You are back. Go, freshen up. They will come at any minute. There is no time left. Where is Mack? I told him to come
Once they came out from the study, Carl Black pulled Mack Black’s ear and asked, "What are you trying to do?" "Ah... Brother, you are hurting me." Mack Black exclaimed helplessly. Carl Black released him and glared at him. Mack Black's ear turned red. His face contorted and rubbed his ear, "What is it? Bro, you are too much." He was irritated. There were guests in the house. If someone saw this, isn't it embarrassing? Carl Black said coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what you are trying to do." Seriously? Mack Black was pissed off. He pulled his eyebrows together and sta
In the capital city It was almost midnight when Daniel Brooke came back to the guest house. The day was long, and the workload was heavy. Ever since he had come to the capital city with Mr. Mayor, he was working very hard. He was very tired. After taking a bath, he laid on the bed. He tried to sleep but whenever he closed his eyes, Lisa's beautiful face flashed in his mind. He didn't talk to her since he got engaged with Jasmine Brown. His engagement news had spread like wildfire in 'X' city. Undoubtedly, she might have known about it. She might be very sad. He was agitated by this thought. He was happy with her. Why did these complications come all of a sudden? He sat up on the bed. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number, but it was switched off. He sighed deeply.
Anna Green went directly to her apartment after parting with Lisa. When she was about to open the door, a deep voice came from behind, "Hello, Miss Green." She turned around instantly and saw a tall elegant handsome young man. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a white shirt. His deep green eyes were staring directly at her. She squinted her eyes and looked at him up and down, completely baffled. 'Who is this man? Why is he here? How does he know her name?' There were too many questions roaming around in her mind. She asked him, "Who are you?" He walked up to her leisurely and said, "I came here to talk about your brother, Neil." Anna Green hea
Carl Black almost dragged Lisa out of the boutique. She brushed off his hand and said angrily, "Mr. Black, I am really not happy with you today. You shouldn’t have done this." He frowned and looked down at her. He never saw her getting mad at him like this before. She used to be a shy and calm girl until now. She never raised her voice at him. He was a little shocked as if he found out another side of Lisa. Though he was shocked, this side of her was also very charming to him. He said calmly, without any change in the expression, "What? Is it unreasonable to spend on my future wife?" She was speechless. Why didn't he understand this simple thing? It was her dream. To buy her wedding dress, she saved money for a long time, and he simply ruined it. Now he was arguing with her. Sh
After lunch, they came out of the restaurant and got into the car. Carl Black asked, "Do you want to go shopping or somewhere else?" Lisa thought for a while and replied, "No... Please drop me at Anna's place. I have something to discuss with her." "OK, then I'll stay with you." Lisa was stunned and peered at him. 'Why is this man so clingy today?' She had planned to buy a gift for him since morning, but suddenly, he came from nowhere. Now that finally, she got the opportunity to execute her plan, he wanted to stay with her. How could she let this happen? She pursed her lips into a thin line and refused sternly, "No need..... Don't you have anything to do?"
At night after dinner, Lisa went inside her bedroom and started drawing something. In the meantime, her phone rang. She grabbed her phone and looked at it, only to see Carl Black's number. Her lips curled upwards involuntarily and answered the phone, "Hello." "Have you finished your girly stuff?" He asked mockingly. She chuckled and replied, "Yes." After a few moments of pause, she heard from the other side of the phone, "I have sent you some pictures of invitation cards. You choose and inform me, OK?" "Thank you so much, Mr. Black." "Hmm?" "I mean... It is helpful. I will select and send it to you. OK? "Good."
A tall, lean handsome man walked out of the airport terminal of the capital city. He looked around at his surroundings and took a deep breath. It had been more than a decade last he came here. His expression turned gloomy when past memories flashed in his mind. He saw a man holding his name card outside the terminal. He went towards him and shook his hand after introducing himself. Soon they got in the car and drove away from the airport. On the way, he looked out at the rapidly retreating scenery through the windshield. Lots of things had changed in the city. He was somewhat sad as well as amazed at the same time. He sighed deeply and leaned back on the seat closing his eyes. After half an hour of driving, he reached a luxurious guest house. The person who came to receive him took his luggage and went inside the guest house. He
