...Though it was hard to say, Fabiola knew she had to tell him the truth. “…Look, you know I’ve always been extremely competitive and stubborn, and… I guess I just didn’t want Luna, Lea, or the others to have you for so long that I lost track of my feelings… I simply assumed that that was love, but… It just wasn’t.” She knew because after meeting Hanley, she finally understood what it meant to be in love… The agony and joy… None of that had applied to Neal throughout her time with him… That was simply the truth, and she knew she couldn’t deny it. By this point, Neal was in absolute pain… and after struggling to find his voice, he eventually managed to mutter, “…I understand… Now please leave. I’ll… eat once I have some more time alone…” Knowing that nothing more could be done, Fabiola sighed before saying, “…Alright, and I hope you keep your promise… I’m sorry for everything.” Following that, she bowed deeply before leaving… and once she was gone, Neal sat on the edge of his
“…What are you even saying? I just… I find this entire situation rather depressing, that’s all…” Though she said that, Hanley couldn’t help but mutter, “…Hey… If Wanda hadn’t stolen your spotlight that day… do you think you could’ve eventually gotten married to Neal…?” “…Neal asked the exact same thing earlier.” “And your reply?” asked Hanley who was dying to know her answer. Pursing her lips, Fabiola replied, “…I told him that I didn’t know. I’m not some kind of psychic that can predict alternate futures…” As Hanley lowered his gaze, Fabiola handed him some cutlery before adding, “There’s no point dwelling on the impossible, now come eat already before the food gets cold…” Upon hearing that, Hanley looked at the dishes before him… and to Fabiola’s shock, he suddenly began drinking the vinegar that was part of the meal! “H-hey! What are you even doing?!” “…What else? Vinegar is good for your health, plus… Even though it’s sour, it’s nowhere near as bitter as my heart cu
...Wasn’t he being a bit too overdramatic? Still, it was kind of cute… In the end, she began patting his chest while saying, “Alright, alright, calm down… You’re the most handsome man alive, but only when you’re not mad, so… Stop being so mad…? Hmm…?” “It’s not working.” “…What should I do, then? And you seem to be getting harder to coax by the day…” “…Are you willing to coax me however it takes?“Of course! And to prove it…” Before Hanley could respond, Fabiola’s lips were already on his… And though he felt his anger gradually subside, he maintained his composure and waited till the kiss ended before saying, “…It’ll take more than a kiss to cheer me up this time.” Wasn’t he being a bit too petty? Still, she didn’t like the idea of seeing him mad all the time so she hugged him tightly before asking, “…Again, what should I do, then?” After taking a deep breath, Hanley replied, “…I want you to do everything you did to him, to me!” “…What? That’s a whole lot, plus… That r
...And upon looking down, she realized that it was his toned six-packs! To think that they could look and feel so firm! Unable to stop herself from touching them, she couldn’t help but mutter, “…You have such a fine body, Hanley…” Naturally, all her caressing made Hanley’s libido soar sky-high! Grabbing her hands, Hanley took a deep breath before growling, “…Enough touching…” Though she could sense his urge to eat her up, the trembling woman soon replied, “…They’re for me, aren’t they…? Why shouldn’t I touch them…?” Following that, she pulled her hands free and began rubbing his six-packs again, leaving Hanley both horny and helpless… In the end, he held her hands once more before whispering in her ear, “…Alright, that’s enough… Go get some rest or things will get out of hand soon…” “…Did Daddy warn you again? Damn it, sometimes he’s just way too old-fashioned!” pouted Fabiola, prompting Hanley to chuckle subtly. “He didn’t… I just don’t want to do it in a hospital. That
‘Write me a love letter in over five-hundred words’, ‘Knit me a scarf with my name embroidered on it’, ‘prepare us some couple outfits’… It was a checklist…! And it went up to ninety-nine requests! What the hell?! Realizing that Hanley was staring at her from the door, the helpless woman muttered, “…A bit childish, don’t you think…?” “Childish? You didn’t seem to think so when you did those things for Neal…” replied Hanley as he walked over to the couch and folded his legs. …Wasn’t he failing to take into consideration that she had much more free time on her platter back then?! And why was he still being so picky about that?! Since Fabiola wasn’t replying, Hanley eventually said, “…Don’t worry, you have all the time in the world to complete that checklist…” Knowing full well that he was serious, Fabiola sighed before muttering, “…I guess I may as well start somewhere…” With that, she began writing the love letter… But sadly, writing was her weakness! Watching as she fum
He wasn’t on his bed. Rather, he was taking a shower in his glass bathroom… and though the glass was all fogged up, it honestly only served to make his silhouette all the more enticing! That aside… His bottom half… It was at that moment when Hanley finally realized that Fabiola was in the room… and when he followed her line of sight, he couldn’t help but raise a slight brow. Turning the water off and wrapping a towel around his waist, he then stepped out before muttering, “Ever heard of privacy…?” With her cheeks burning red, the embarrassed woman replied, “S-since you’re my husband, it’s only right that I look at you all I want… You shouldn’t even question it if I want to touch you!” “…Touch me, then,” said Hanley as he gently placed her hands over his abs… and with how firm and warm they were, she nearly jolted with pleasure! How the hell was his body so perfect?! Shortly after, she couldn’t stop herself from saying, “…Take the towel off already…” “…Are you sure about tha
...All her siblings, each of them dressed in formal attire! What the hell?! Sensing her shock, Lea was quick to clear her throat before saying, “Don’t worry, we’re just here to congratulate Mr. Robinson for his safe return…” “Indeed! Remember, he did risk his life to save you, so it’s only right that we did this much!” added Yulia. …Even if that was the case… Alas, before Fabiola could reply, Frank cut her off by asking, “Regardless, what took you so long to answer the door? And why’s your face so red?” Trying her best not to blush even more, the embarrassed woman retorted, “I-I was busy exercising, that’s all!” At that point, Luna, who looked just like her mother, Tiffany, couldn’t help but chuckle before saying, “Oh…? Were you working out with Mr. Robinson too…?” As Fabiola was left speechless, Hanley thankfully arrived in the nick of time! Watching as Hanley greeted everyone, Luna’s eyes momentarily glimmered. He was such an attractive man… and even though she had met
Raising a slight brow, Fabiola replied, “He’s far from ordinary, and he’s not that kind of man either-” “You’re not a man, so you wouldn’t understand where I’m coming from,” interrupted Frank. Before Fabiola could snap back, Maison cleared his throat and said, “Alright, that’s enough. Dad gave Hanley his blessings, so we shouldn’t interfere too much.” Though Frank was irritated with that answer, he knew that Maison was right. Still, the fact that his sister was now following another man so blindly after being stuck to Neal for so long simply didn’t sit right with him. After Maison finally managed to pull Frank away, Fabiola was able to breathe a sigh of relief… But before she could even get to the stairs, Lea suddenly pulled her over and whispered, “Speaking of which… Have you tasted his candy yet…?” …She had, and it was all because of Lea’s stupid suggestion! Then again, it did help her mend things with Hanley, so… “…I…Did…” “Well? How did it go? Did you like it?” …How
