Dimas did not think that was a problem and just lifted the corners of his mouth. “I’d love that.”He… really did not care about rumors, huh?Harmonia immediately changed the topic. “Didn’t you say that my dad had something to give me?”“I did.” Dimas took out a box of tea leaves and handed it to Harmonia from the compartment in the door. “Green Tea Leaves?” Harmonia immediately recognized it.“This is the first box of the first batch.”Harmonia took it and said in puzzlement, “Based on my dad’s usual style, he would have given the first box of the first batch to my mom, though…?”Why would he give it to her?Harmonia got out of the car, put the tea leaves on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, and then returned to the car. …They drove to Nilus City’s Nilus Square, the largest supermarket in the city. All sorts of brands from all over the world were gathered here.Even though it was a work day, there were plenty of people around. Harmonia got out while wearing a pair of su
Harmonia did not know what to do about this. She wanted to move back, but for some unknown reason, her legs felt like jelly. Dimas smiled and grabbed her waist. “Judging from your reaction, I got the answer I wanted.”Harmonia could not make sense of what he said. But once her legs no longer felt like jelly, she stepped out of his embrace. How did he know whether she liked how he looked? She had not even said anything yet. Dimas returned to the fitting room. Harmonia stared at his back and smiled. He wanted to know whether she liked how he looked in the suit, right?She turned to the cashier. “I want a set of each style for all the suits you have in your shop, along with all colors for all the dress shirts over there.”There were plenty of suits and dress shirts here. Which one would be her favorite look for him?Have fun guessing, Dimas. Harmonia’s words did not sink into the cashier’s head for some time, but when it did, her eyes flew wide open in shock. So, this was
Rebuilding a stable?!And she had been wondering how to get a construction deal! It just fell straight into her lap!“Mr. Martinez, do you need to rebuild your stable? Have you found your design and construction team?” Harmonia stared at Dimas. Even though she wore sunglasses, Dimas could still sense her glee. “Not yet,” he answered. Harmonia’s eyes lit up. “What about Marshtown Studio? We have a great design and construction team, and we provide great one-to-one service. We won’t outsource our work either. As a fellow resident of Nilus City, I wouldn’t lie to you!”He had to say, the little menace was great at doing business. While relaxed, Dimas stared at her. “I’m not from Nilus City.”Harmonia immediately changed her wording. “You’re my friend. I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Friend?” Dimas chuckled. “We’re friends?”Harmonia changed her wording again. “If we’re not friends, then you can be my client!”Dimas stared at Harmonia and took a step forward with a smile. “I want
Harmonia gave Dimas a look that said, “NOT funny.”Absalom’s expression turned darker and colder, as if he was about to explode in the next second. They were dating? Heh.“I thought you were a gentleman, Uncle Dimas. I can’t believe you’d want your own nephew’s ex.”“Honestly, I wasn’t even aware you were married, much less divorced.” Dimas smiled and said calmly, “I haven’t even given you your wedding gift.”Harmonia could hear the underlying meaning in Dimas’s words. First of all, she had already gotten a divorce from Absalom. Second, they had never held a wedding, so Harmonia did not even have a ring. Hence, it only made sense that Dimas never gave Absalom a wedding gift. Absalom met Dimas’s gaze, and his own gaze was filled with derision. “You don’t have to bother preparing a wedding gift for me.”He then looked at Harmonia, and in the next second, the cold look in his eyes faded away. “Monia, I know everything.”Harmonia just frowned. Know what? She was confuse
Then, Dimas handed a box of tissues to Harmonia. Harmonia took the box. Honestly, she had seen men handing handkerchiefs to ladies before, never men handing tissue boxes to ladies. “Mr. Martinez, I recall you telling me to stay away from your nephew, but as you can see, he’s the one sticking to me like glue.”Dimas smiled. Of course, he knew. Even so, he still told her to stay away from Absalom. After all, he was worried. But he had a good chance to woo Harmonia right now, and wise men always seized opportunities to achieve their goals. He was going to take it. “I misunderstood you.” Dimas apologized. “Please allow me to treat you to lunch as an apology.”Of course, he would not fall on his knees to beg Harmonia for forgiveness. That would just be too over the top and would spook Harmonia. So, he decided to do something else. Harmonia was taken aback. “You don’t have to do that. Let’s go to the stable instead.”She had to demolish the original stable and rebuil
“Nightlight’s a rabbit.”“A rabbit?!” Harmonia was surprised. This was her first time hearing that a horse had become friends with a rabbit. Dimas nodded and looked at Firefly’s spacious stable. Harmonia looked over as well and saw a meticulously built nest for a rabbit. “Where did Nightlight go?” Harmonia asked. “It ran off.”At that moment, Firefly chuffed in great displeasure.Dimas gave him a look, and it wilted. Harmonia saw how pitiful Firefly was. “I have a rabbit. I’ll give it to you as a gift.”A neighbor of hers in Green Town gave her a rabbit. In order for it to not end up as an emergency food source, Harmonia had brought it back to Nilus City. However, she did not have any experience rearing rabbits and did not have time to take care of Rabbit Stew either. She also only had a cage for it. Compared to the nest here, her cage was a worn-down motel, and the nest was a five-star hotel. She had to give the emergency food source a good master so that it could
Harmonia shook her head. “He’s Absalom’s uncle.”What?!Then, Louis returned to their office and started setting up a team to build the stable. Absalom went with Harmonia to pick up the rabbit. “Wait a moment.”Once they reached Heron Bay Villa, Harmonia immediately went to retrieve the rabbit cage. Dimas waited for her in the car.“Aren’t you going to go down?”“Sugar babies shouldn’t make themselves known, you know?” Much less get out of a car. Rio could not figure out Dimas. He sounded really upset but looked quite happy. Soon, Harmonia came out of the mansion and carefully handed the rabbit cage to Dimas. Rio found the rabbit really familiar. Wasn’t that Nightlight?!Dimas was really calm, as if he had never seen the rabbit before. “What’s its name?” he asked. “Rabbit Stew.”“Good name.”Rio was beginning to wonder whether he was hearing things. Was this what they meant when they said someone was b*llshitting?“Who is it, Ms. Marsh? Do we have a guest?”
Harmonia stared at the message Dimas sent her and tightened her grip on her phone. She then remembered that she had not bid him goodbye just now and just slammed his door shut. She had not even been thinking at that time. Now that she thought about it, she was in the wrong. [That’s not it, Mr. Martinez. Mr. Smith has a love-hate relationship with Rabbit Stew. I was worried that he’d cry because he didn’t want to part with it.] Harmonia replied. [And that’s why you chased me away?][It was in the heat of the moment. Sorry.]Then, Dimas did not send her any other messages. Just when Harmonia wanted to put her phone down, he sent her another message. [I got home.[I received the suits and shirts. [I’ll be sure to wear them.]Harmonia stared at the messages and fell into a daze. [So long as you like it, that’s good.] She replied. [You bought them. Of course, I’ll like them.]Harmonia just thought that Dimas was being weird. Ginevra saw Harmonia holding her phone
