No! Please don’t!I’m not worthy of you to help me prop the lamp back up!Leave, quick!“Prop it up for what? It’s tiring enough for us to have to watch her, and now we still have to prop her lamp up? Who does she think she is?”The two female servants remarked as they stepped out of the room.The door was shut once more.Harmonia listened to their footsteps and confirmed that they were seated back down before heaving a sigh of relief.“Dimas Martinez!” She threw the sheets open and scolded him in a huff.“Yes?” His arms were still wrapped around her with no intention whatsoever of letting go.“You… just now…”“I was hugging my girlfriend.”He looked unperturbed back at her, the corner of his lips lifted in a half-smirk.He especially emphasized those two words ‘my girlfriend’.Harmonia said in a voice choked with frustration, “It would have been fine any other time, but you had to hug me at such a critical moment just now… what if they found you?!”What if they found him
Dimas didn’t refute Harris’ claims and simply looked at him as he spoke, not giving him a chance to tease him any further, “You’re the one who’s making me envious. You look radiant even without a lover.”Harris was rebuffed and had no witty remark in response to Dimas.‘Forget it’, he thought. ‘I’d better turn in.’He had no lover and no wits to outtalk these youngsters.He was at an age where no matter how radiant he looked, he had to admit that he was getting old.Harris barked, “It’s getting late! You’d better sleep soon! I’m telling you, don’t go about depleting your energy in your youth. You’ll pay for it when you get old. When you reach my age, you might not end up as energetic and sprightly as I!”Dimas said with a half-smile, “Don’t worry, Harris. I’m someone with a girlfriend. I will make sure I rest well for her sake alone.”For the first time in his ripe old age, Harris suddenly wanted to slap himself twice…Why was he still trying to outtalk Dimas when he clearly co
“Dimas Martinez, my sister has been hurt before. You should know how Absalom used to treat her. Once bitten, twice shy. I don’t know what you did to break down the walls in her heart, but I know that I will never hurt her. I just want to see her in peace and be happy.”Hector sounded very genuine. An emotional person would probably believe him in a heartbeat.Dimas, on the other hand, was a very rational person, perhaps overly so.Hector knew that for a fact, which was why he immediately told Dimas all the information he thought was useful.Dimas listened to all the information from Hector calmly until he heard the last one.He clenched his fists tight and tried hard to control himself, but the veins popping out of his temple betrayed the anger that was boiling in his heart!-The next day, the puppy timer rang once more.After getting out of bed, Harmonia washed up in a daze and incidentally found love bites on her neck…She quickly got changed into a turtleneck to wrap herse
Harmonia did not express any objections. She simply walked to the room next door and retrieved many spools of yarn.The teacher immediately asked, “Do you need that much yarn for that bit of rug?”“I want to weave a colorful rug.”The teacher was once again rendered speechless. Since this was homework she had assigned, it was completely legitimate for Harmonia to take the yarn to complete it!As for how much yarn Harmonia could take, that was something she had not set any limits to, and she could only allow Harmonia to take as much as she wanted.Harmonia wrapped her arms around a basketful of yarn and said as she looked at the teacher, “Please have someone send the loom to my room.”Since she had to weave a rug, the loom had to be sent to her room. Otherwise, how would she be able to complete her homework?Since the teacher was the one who had assigned the homework, she would be in the wrong if she refused to give Harmonia the loom!The teacher had no choice but to send the lo
The door to her shower was kicked open!It was clear that the incoming assailant had used much force.Flower Sandy barged in furiously, with her two female servants in tow.Harmonia turned to look at them in feigned horror as she anxiously looked outside the door.Flower Sandy crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “Don’t bother looking. We’ve seen the loom you’ve mechanized.”Harmonia wondered to herself, ‘Who said that I was looking at my mechanized loom?’“Harmonia Marsh, you mechanized the loom without express permission and have severely flouted the rules!”Flower Sandy looked all in a rage, but she was delighted inside!She finally had something on Harmonia and could find a legitimate reason to punish her. That would certainly put her in Nara’s good books!Harmonia remained silent as the two female servants eagerly chimed in, “Sandy is right. You are atrocious! You were humming so loudly in the washroom that we could hear it at the door!”“Harmonia Marsh, are
“What are you guys doing in the middle of the night?!”Jasper rushed into the room and appeared at the door of the washroom.His eyes were opened wide in shock as he looked at Flower Sandy and her troop.“Are you three strong women taking advantage of her, one weak and frail lady? You’re just abusing your authority and forcing her to her death!”Jasper’s scoldings sent Flower Sandy and her two female servants into a daze.How were they strong women?How was Harmonia… a weak and frail lady?!Flower Sandy immediately tried explaining herself, “Mr. Martinez, things aren’t what they seem. Please hear me out.”“Hear you out? What is there to explain? The facts are laid bare right before my eyes! Do you think I’m blind? Can’t I see the truth for myself? Do I need you to explain things to me?”Jasper was no benevolent soul, and he had a wild, sharp tongue!He was certainly an expert in kicking up a fuss and being unreasonable!Flower Sandy had no choice but to swallow back her expl
“Mom, you have no idea how chaotic things are here. Had I come any later, Harmonia would have been forced to jump off! They brought so many people with them and barged into Harmonia’s room. They kicked down the door to the washroom, and even the windows were smashed! Do you hear the sound of the wind? It was so frightening!”“Nancy and I are right here at Snow Manor, but they were bold enough to take matters into their own hands and did not ask us for permission! They clearly disregard us and you, too! Sigh… they even frightened Nancy to tears! The moment she got frightened, her first reaction was to call you, but that witch dared to stop her! “Nancy’s wrist is all swollen. Apply ice on it? Sure, sure, I will. Everything outside is covered in snow and ice, I’ll get some right away and apply it on her.” Jasper rattled on, every single word of his making Flower Sandy break into a cold sweat, yet she had no chance of refuting his claims!Jasper finally turned to look at Flower Sandy a
Nancy excitedly pressed the green button to answer the call.Dimas’ low and magnetic voice sounded.“Is she there? Pass the phone to her.”Nancy pouted indignantly. She didn’t even get a chance to greet Dimas!Just as she was about to hand the phone over, she halted in mid-air and asked with a smile, “Dimas, who are you talking about? There are two people next to each other, one is Jasper, the other is…”Before Nancy was done speaking, his low voice sounded once more, “Do you think I will especially call to speak to Jasper?”He clearly didn’t want to waste a second longer to speak to his lady!Jasper looked utterly confused.Nancy burst out laughing before handing the phone to Harmonia.“Harmonia, Dimas misses you and wants to talk to you!’Dimas thought exasperatedly, ‘Did I say anything about missing Harmonia? I kept that thought to myself.’Harmonia’s ears flushed red, and she took the phone from Nancy after saying thanks.Nancy was quick-witted and obedient enough to gr
