“Hmm?”He raised an eyebrow, his cold and handsome features softening because of her, and he no longer looked harsh. He took a step forward, holding her cold hands and tucking them inside his coat, pressing them tightly against his waist.He bent down, and his handsome face came closer to hers, his nose touching hers.Harmonia instinctively wanted to step back, but his hand suddenly tightened, pulling her into his embrace.Her cheek hit his sturdy chest, and she listened to his strong heartbeat.Thump, thump, thump—Each beat was knocking on the door of her heart.“I don't understand. Monia, can you explain?” He pretended not to understand, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.She bit her lip, her fair cheeks blushing red.Her eyelashes fluttered, and snowflakes fell.That sweet voice, tender and not cloying, echoed in the silent observation deck. “The snowflakes everywhere are love letters I wrote to you.”Her answer was obvious.In his deep eyes, there was only her fi
She had clearly prepared herself mentally, but those few words just couldn't come out of her mouth.“Grow old together,” He said softly, uttering those four words.Harmonia suddenly looked up and met his gaze.“You saw it?” She asked. The words ‘Snow falls, and we will grow old together’ were carved on the boulder. “The snow isn't thick enough, so I saw it,” He explained.“The scarf isn't big enough, so I saw it too,” She retorted.He looked at her and smiled as he said, “Do you have to be so shy in front of your boyfriend?”“Dimas Martinez!” Harmonia huffed, playfully hitting his chest.He caught her hand, afraid that her punch would hurt herself.“Monia.”“Hm?”“Isn't it inappropriate to call your boyfriend by his full name?”The term ‘boyfriend’ was still new to Harmonia, and she felt unsure for a moment.She blinked, wide-eyed.However, she quickly recovered, suppressing a smile, and immediately replied...“Can't I call you by your full name? What should I call yo
“It’s impossible for me to simply look out for myself and be without a care in the world as long as this conflict involves you, but don’t worry. I won't let you have any worries.”She would take care of herself, and she would protect herself. She wouldn't be his weakness, nor would she burden him.He gazed at her, and their eyes met. He knew his young lady was capable, but he couldn't be by her side, so he couldn't shake off his worries at all.The phone rang.Dimas answered the call, and Mac urged him. Time was tight, and there was no room for delay.Harmonia knew and understood it all.“Wait for me to come back,” He said in an extremely gentle tone as he held her delicate and beautiful face. She squinted her beautiful eyes as she smiled brightly. “Mm-hmm. I'll wait for you.”Their hands that were held together turned into intertwined fingers as they walked down the mountain. The cold breeze blew under the warm sunlight. The ribbons, which were tied to the fence not lon
Dimas smirked ambiguously and said, “Your assumption was indeed wrong. My woman is one of a kind. She has both an attractive appearance and an interesting soul that’s unparalleled.”When Rio heard this, as the biggest fan of this relationship, he was screaming in his heart!Wasn’t the meaning behind his boss’ words obvious?!There was only one Miss Marsh in this world, and she already belonged to him!This was definitely sweet talk!So, why were they standing there dumbfounded? They should go and enjoy the sweetness and dive into it to the fullest.Harmonia reached out and tugged his sleeves lightly. “I’m not as great as you make me out to be.”He lifted his hand and gently touched her cheek with his knuckles.“I really can’t praise you too much. There are plenty who covet you. Dealing with rivals is a waste of our time.”Time was precious.Harmonia blinked shyly and instantly felt as if she was about to blush. She finally understood that all the chaotic feelings were hin
Penny’s whole body felt stiff all over. Even though her body was warm, she couldn’t move her torso at all. She was just a young girl and had not experienced the world yet. She had always been well protected, so she didn't know how to hide her emotions and unease at the moment.“Since you think of me as your sister, why don’t you tell me who that man is?” Harmonia's tone was gentle without any intention to blame Penny in any way. She just wanted to understand the whole situation and even find a way to help her deal with it properly.“Blossom…” Penny bit her lip and said, “I haven't been dating early.”“I believe you.” Harmonia nodded confidently.“You believe me?”“Yes. Hiding a man and dating early are two different things.”Penny paused for a moment and murmured to herself, “In that case, hiding a little man seems more serious, huh?”Harmonia rubbed her forehead and said, “So, you know that too?”Penny pouted, looking pitiful and aggrieved as she asked, “Blossom, how did you k
“Huh?”“Mr. Dimas and I are mutually infatuated.”Penny felt like she had been struck! A single person really had no rights! Even the air was filled with envy. After that, Penny assured Harmonia repeatedly that this was just a one-time thing and would not be repeated. Harmonia then asked to meet this little man who had captivated Penny’s heart and said that the man would have to leave Blackath City, at least before Mac came back. Although Penny was reluctant, her rationality told her… what would be the consequences if her brother knew about the little man? She might just get scolded or have to reflect on her actions, but the little man would definitely have a miserable outcome.Ever since Harmonia had helped her retrieve her mother's belongings, Harmonia had gained her trust. Combined with seeing her exquisite beauty and unbeatable charisma, Penny had long treated her like a sister. She absolutely believed in Harmonia and trusted her to handle this matter properly.Finally, Pe
She was just making things worse by exaggerating, so it was better not to say anything at all. What kind of young girl would pick out the color of underwear for a man? It was so embarrassing. Harmonia suppressed a laugh, but Hector remained calm.After spending these days together, he already knew what kind of person Penny was—quick-witted, straightforward, and innocent, without any scheming at all. However, helping him pick out underwear colors was something he never expected of her. He thought she had just randomly bought them. What was even more awkward was that he was currently wearing the meticulously chosen checkered underwear she had gotten him.As Hector thought about this, his calm expression finally showed a bit of fluctuation. Harmonia looked at him and continued to suppress her laughter.They then had breakfast together.Hector apologized to Penny, explaining that for safety reasons, he had pretended to be mute. Penny was not a petty person, and she was understand
“No! Don't touch me!”“Help! Help!!!”“Ah—"Cries and screams sounded together! Harmonia and Hector followed the sound and rushed into the alley. They then saw Penny, who was vulnerable and helpless, being dragged out from the corner by a pair of rough hands!Her clothes were dirty and almost torn apart! Hector cursed and swiftly rushed forward. He forcefully pulled the man away, delivered a fierce kick to his lower abdomen, then pressed his head hard against the wall. The man's head burst open from the impact, and he fell heavily to the ground!“Penny!” Harmonia called out her name.Penny opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. She was overwhelmed with fear the moment she saw Harmonia and threw herself into Harmonia’s arms.“Harmonia…” Penny sobbed.“Don't be afraid. You don’t have to be afraid anymore, it's okay.”Harmonia comforted her, quickly wrapping her coat tightly around her, intending to help her leave.Bang!At that moment, gunshots rang out again, an
