Linelle's smile froze instantly. It turned out he hadn't heard a single word she had said earlier.Just as Linelle was about to reintroduce herself, she saw that Dimas's gaze had already shifted to the two bodyguards at the door.“Notify Mac that I want to see him in five minutes.”The atmosphere was simply too intimidating. The two bodyguards turned pale with fright and immediately contacted Mac.Linelle stood aside, feeling extremely uneasy.Didn't she just offer to make the call? Why… Why did he get someone else to notify Mac? Could it be that he didn't want to trouble a weak woman like her?While Linelle was pondering, Mac received the message and hurried over.“Mr. Martinez, that person is in the detention center.”Upon hearing Mac's words, Dimas ignored his wounds and grabbed Mac's clothes!“You sent my woman to the detention center?! Mac, is there no hotel in Blackath City?!” Dimas's angry questioning revealed his current state of anger and hostility!Mac explained, “I
At this time, she was sipping the congee in her bowl. Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached. As Harmonia looked up and saw Dimas, her eyes blinked several times.‘He's awake, he's fine, he's here.’Harmonia felt her head spinning. After waiting almost a week, she finally saw him.Having only consumed porridge for five days, she had lost at least a few kilograms, and her face looked extremely thin.She did not say a word and simply called out, “Dimi…”She did not speak too softly or loudly, but everyone could hear her and was all shocked. Dimas rushed to her, grabbing her wrist, and pulling her into his embrace.“I came too late.”Harmonia felt the strong grip around her waist. At 1.94 meters tall, Dimas had a significant height advantage. Despite Harmonia being nearly 1.7 meters tall, there was still a difference of 20 centimeters between them.With one embrace and one lift, her feet were off the ground.Harmonia rested her chin lightly on his shoulder.“Dimi, I've lost
“I gave you my first kiss, so you have to take responsibility for me.”Harmonia widened her eyes as she looked at Dimas in astonishment. Those bright big eyes seemed to be saying, ‘Was that your first kiss? No way?! Impossible! It can't be! Are you still a virgin?!’He squinted his eyes, seeming to understand her thoughts at this moment. He held her head with his other hand and asked, “Monia, do you want to try it?” Harmonia didn't even think about it and immediately shook her head in fright. No, she didn't need to! “How's your injury?” She abruptly changed the subject. “I’m fine,” He casually replied. Harmonia frowned. She did not believe him. She lowered her head and noticed that the striped clothing inside his black suit wasn't a shirt but a hospital gown.She then exclaimed nervously, “You lied to me again! You're still wearing a hospital gown, so how could your injury be fine? Dimas, can't you take better care of yourself?!”Harmonia was really anxious this time. Sh
“Since congee is good for the stomach, let Linelle stay in detention for a month and nourish her body well.”Harmonia looked at Dimas, who was standing outside the car. Dimas was truly a master strategist!Drinking nothing but plain porridge for a month, one couldn't help but lose a significant amount of weight. This move not only retaliated in kind but also doubled the effect.She had no grudge against Linelle, yet Linelle had cut off her three meals a day, replacing them with barely satisfying plain congee and side dishes. She didn't emit any saintly aura nor did she plead for Linelle.Furthermore, as an adult, Linelle had to face the consequences of her actions.Mac's expression tightened outside the car when he heard Dimas's words. He quickly spoke up, “Mr. Martinez, to be honest, Linelle's father is not only our family's driver, but he also saved my sister's life. Her father died saving my sister, and the Shaws owe her a debt of gratitude. We owe her a life. I know what she d
Harmonia felt a bit embarrassed, and her ears turned slightly red.Dimas, on the other hand, remained unusually calm and said, “Was I calling her?”“Yes. You called her countless times.”“It can’t be helped. After all, I think about her every day.”-Mac had to experience Dimas’ public display of affection for Harmonia.Rio then immediately recounted the hardships he had experienced over the past five or six days.It would originally take a two-hour flight to get from Dairkth to Blackath City, then a transfer by car would take about five or six hours in total.However, after the explosion at the beast colosseum, Solzen was in chaos, and Solzen was the main road to Blackath City.Rio was worried it would cause trouble, so he had taken a big detour, walking on mountain roads for three or four days before finally reaching Blackath City.Mac then revealed the doubts he had harbored for many days. “I still can't figure out what happened with the explosion at the beast colosseum. I
When Harmonia snapped out of her trance, she found herself off the ground again, placed on the cabinet by him.“W-what happened? Why did you get down from the bed?! You're still injured!”Harmonia wanted to push his chest away but she dared not and didn't know where to start. After all, he was wrapped in layer upon layer of bandages.He didn't make any presumptuous moves and simply looked at her, his deep eyes entirely focused on her.“Quick, get back to bed!” Harmonia's expression and tone were both urgent.Dimas raised an eyebrow, grabbed her body, and carried her toward the bed. His movements were effortless, lifting her with no difficulty at all.“Your injury!”Harmonia dared not move. She was like a wooden doll, afraid that any movement would cause his wound to open up.He placed her on the bed, his towering figure just a few centimeters away from hers. If he leaned in slightly, they would be tightly pressed together. His clearly defined hand gently fell on her forehead, s
“You’re looking for me?” Harmonia was puzzled but also intrigued.Penny nodded.“You’ve misunderstood Linelle. It was Mr. Charles from the detention center who told Linelle that your stomach wasn't feeling well, so she specially went to the detention center and spoke to the person in charge to change your food to congee that’s nourishing for the stomach.”“It was the person in charge who couldn't handle things properly. You’ve misunderstood Linelle’s intentions. You thought she wanted to trouble you, which led to her asking you to be fed congee!”"I know you definitely feel uncomfortable for being wronged. Linelle had good intentions but ended up causing trouble. Why not let her apologize to you? You shouldn't be so harsh, right?”“Linelle already has stomach problems. Are you trying to kill her by making her drink congee for a month? Besides, I see your complexion is healthy, and you're still in a relationship with Mr. Martinez, so how can you be feeling unwell?” Penny's voice
Harmonia hesitated for a moment and then nodded.His lips curled up slightly, his handsome face drawing closer to hers.“So, I can also educate you.”This wasn't a question but a statement! A definite one!“I'm not… Mm!”A kiss sealed her lips.Harmonia's eyelashes trembled incessantly. She felt flustered and at a loss. She was talking about Penny, not herself!Dimas, this jerk!He wanted to steal a kiss from her and still needed a proper reason.So, this was what lay behind his gentlemanly demeanor!Their lips touched, lightly exploring, and it felt just right.His husky voice sounded in her ear, “Monia, my…”Answer.“Mr. Martinez!”Before he could finish his sentence, Rio rushed in.Damn it!Did they not check the almanac today? Did getting a promotion require choosing an auspicious day?! Harmonia had already kept a certain distance from him!This blockhead, Rio, didn't notice anything unusual nor did he feel the sweet atmosphere in the air. He just charged in like a
