Jason then hesitated for a moment and said, “Well…”“What’s wrong?” Miya asked puzzledly.Jason suddenly said, “I’m near Phoenix Street now. Can you come and meet me here?”Miya was dumbfounded. She was so shocked by his words that she was completely speechless. She thought that she had heard him wrongly, but his voice sounded clearly in her ear.“Miya? Miya, are you listening to me?”His voice carried a hint of anxiety, as if he was afraid that she would not meet him and would simply leave him there. When Miya came to her senses, she did not know whether she should be angry or feel sorry for him. She clenched her teeth and asked, “Why did you come here?”Jason felt relieved when he heard her responding to him. His voice was cheerful and affectionate as he replied, “I didn't want to be away from you. I don’t feel at ease to leave you alone either.”Miya asked him indignantly, “Why would you worry? I’m just coming back to my parents’ house.”He said very seriously on the other
“Dad, this is my boyfriend, Jason Maton.”She then said to Jason, “This is my dad.”Jason quickly greeted Henry with a smile, “Hello, Mr. Carter.”Henry glanced at Jason, nodded in response, and said to Miya, “Why are you standing downstairs? Take Jason upstairs.”He turned around and left after saying that. Based on her father’s expression, Miya was initially afraid that her father would not allow her to bring Jason into their house. Jason also sighed in relief, then he turned around, opened his car trunk, and took out the gifts that Miya had not accepted and carried it upstairs with her. Henry had already taken an elevator up first, whereas Miya and Jason took another one.When they were in the elevator, Jason, who was carrying the gifts, leaned against the elevator wall and said quietly to Miya, “I was so nervous just now that even my palms were sweating.”He was really nervous. In fact, Jason had never felt so nervous in his life. Miya glared at him angrily and said,
Miya was speechless, and she turned around to go to her bedroom to clean up. Jason followed her in, closed the door, and hugged her from the back as he said quietly, “In fact, what I want most is for you to sleep here with me.”Miya was standing by the bed as she planned to help him change a new set of bedding. Her face felt slightly hot when he said such shameless words, so she protested, “You’re really shameless.”He pretended not to notice her hints and was now saying that he wanted to sleep with her after succeeding in staying over at her parents’ house. Wasn’t this shameless? Jason took advantage of the situation when Miya stood next to the bed to push her onto the bed. He pressed her under his body as he said in a deep voice in her ear, “You slept on this bedsheet, didn’t you? You don’t need to change it. I’ll just pretend as if you’re sleeping with me.”His gesture was too ambiguous, so Miya raised her hand to push him away, but he kissed her. She moaned softly and could no
“Were you asleep?”Miya responded, “Mm-hmm. I accidentally fell asleep.”He then invited her cheerfully. “Come over for dinner. I’ve prepared some delicious food here.”“Okay. I’ll wash up and go over.”Miya did not think that there was anything amiss because they already had plans to have dinner together at night. She got up, washed her face, and tidied herself up before she went to the apartment across from hers. Miya had initially thought that they would go out for dinner tonight, or that he would come over to her place so they could cook something; she did not expect that he would invite her to go over to his place to eat instead. He even said that there was delicious food there, so she was very curious about what kind of delicious food there could be because she knew that he was not a good cook. However, when Jason came to open the door for her, Miya saw Mrs. Maton in the living room and Mr. Maton, who was coming out of the kitchen while holding freshly prepared dishes. Mi
“I think he is really good at taking care of people as well.”“Is that so?”Mrs. Maton was very happy, especially when she heard that Miya was very satisfied with Jason as well. She almost asked Miya when they would be getting married out of excitement, but fortunately, she was still a little rational. Mr. Maton had given her a reminder before they came here. He told her not to be too enthusiastic or to rush the couple into marriage so as not to scare Miya away. Therefore, Mrs. Maton endured it and did not say anything.The dinner prepared by Mr. Maton was very sumptuous. They had just had dinner with Miya’s parents, and now, they were dining with Jason’s parents, so everything felt surreal to Miya.The dinner was rather pleasant. Both Mr. and Mrs. Maton did not put on any airs, nor were they picky about Miya’s family background. In fact, Miya had also considered these differences before she agreed to date Jason. After all, when it came to Julian and Nora’s relationship, Nora’s fam
After the wedding, Nora still felt exhausted even though she had not participated much in the entire process, let alone Julian, who had been socializing all day.However, no matter how tired Julian was, it was still a joyful event, and he did not stop smiling throughout the entire day.It was already very late after the wedding dinner. Nora was tired and sleepy when the driver sent them back home. She fell on their bed and did not want to get up at all.Julian initially wanted her to come back home earlier and rest, but Nora felt that it would not be good for her to leave Julian there alone since this was their wedding after all. Therefore, she insisted on accompanying him to send all the dinner guests off before going back.Julian glanced at Nora, who was lying on the bed in exhaustion. After taking his suit jacket off and putting it aside, he unbuttoned his shirt sleeves and walked toward her. After unbuttoning the buttons, he rolled his sleeves up to stretch his arms more comf
The cab finally stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Evelyn got out of the cab with her suitcase after paying the fare and headed directly to the ward where her mother was hospitalized. If their neighbor, Mrs. Wilbur, hadn’t called her, she would not have known that her mother was ill.She received a phone call from Mrs. Wilbur that day. The lady choked up as she spoke over the phone. “Evelyn, come back quickly. Your mother is ill! She suddenly fainted when we went grocery shopping the day before yesterday. I called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. After the medical checkup, they found that your mother has a tumor in her head, and she needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible.“I told her to inform you immediately and ask you to come back, but your mother said no. She even said that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital and go home without undergoing surgery. The doctor said that your mother wouldn’t be able to live much longer if she didn't have the surge
Evelyn had never felt any resentment toward her father for abandoning her mother, but she really felt very resentful at this moment.She hated her father for being unkind and unrighteous. She hated her father for cheating on and abandoning her mother. If his father had not divorced her mother, they would not be in such a helpless state now that her mother was ill.Natalie continued provoking her as she asked, “Have you gotten the money for your mother’s surgery?”Evelyn clenched her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart. She did not want to be bothered with Natalie anymore, so she turned around and left. She had never bothered to pay attention to Natalie’s malicious provocations as she never wanted to appear as vulgar and uneducated as Natalie was.Ever since Natalie became the rightful young lady of the Stewarts, she had always been keen on imitating Evelyn and provoking her in various ways, but Evelyn had never taken her seriously. In her opinion, Natalie’s behavior was jus
