Roses Rising Above the Thorns Too Late for Love Proclamations Chapter 13
Valerie, who had moved to stand behind Mikhael since who knew when, had her arms folded in front of her chest as she gazed at him scrutinizingly.The coldness in his eyes dissipated instantly the moment they landed on her.Mikhael didn't even berate her for eavesdropping on his conversation with Helena. "You've been walking for so long. Why not rest on the couch for a bit longer?"Valerie was still immersed in the moment when Mikhael was chewing Helena out. The thought of Helena clamping up made her feel so much better.She knew that Mikhael cared about her the most instead of his younger sister, who loved seducing men who were taken.This fact alone set Mikhael on a higher pedestal than Christopher.Valerie was elated, to say the least. The first thing she did was hug Mikhael.Mikhael's arms levitated in mid-air. He wasn't sure if he should place his hands on Valerie's waist. He wondered if Valerie would dislike him should he touch her.But under the influence of love, Mikhael

The most vital part was the itch of the seventh year.In the end, Christopher couldn't stand the "itch" in his heart and eventually found himself a mistress.He thought everything would be fine in the seventh year, but in the eighth year, his true colors were revealed.As Christopher listened to Valerie's speech, he gradually realized that she had indeed overheard what he had said to his friends, and that was why she was so determined to break up with him.However, Christopher still felt that he couldn't survive without Valerie. When he was home in the past few days, he would panic when he woke up to find Valerie missing. Then, he would call her.Sadly, his calls never got through.Helena might look like Valerie when she was younger, but her behavior and attention to detail were nothing compared to Valerie's.Helena didn't even know the things Christopher couldn't eat, for he was allergic to many foods. She even nagged him while he was busy with work, urging him to go shopping a

Without another word, Christopher swung his fist right at Mikhael's face.Mikhael staggered from the impact, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.Valerie was stunned for a long while, and her heart began to race. She quickly went to help Mikhael up before shouting at the crazed Christopher, "What are you doing? Christopher!"But Christopher seemed too absorbed in his own thoughts. He didn't come to his senses at all.By the looks of it, Christopher would get even more agitated the more Valerie spoke.Helena, who was standing at the entrance, looked at Christopher in surprise. She didn't expect him to actually hit her brother. She stood where she was, unsure of what she should do or what she could do at that moment.Realizing that Christopher wouldn't listen to her, Valerie turned to look at Helena, who was still at the entrance. She shouted at Helena, "Helena! Get the security guards to drag him out!"Helena was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Her whole b

Christopher's fists were trembling, and his eyes were filled with regret and heartache. Even his voice had turned hoarse.Valerie placed the box on the table in front of Christopher. Then, she slowly opened it. The box contained all the gifts and letters Christopher had once given to her.Christopher was a little surprised when he saw the contents of the box. "You… held on to these?"Lowering her head, Valerie picked up a love letter. Then, she read its contents as if she was reminiscing.Valerie looked quite calm. At that moment, Christopher saw in Valerie her past self, who was always so cold and out of reach.Valerie said, "When I asked you a certain question back then, you replied that if you don't really like someone at first sight, then you know you won't get along with them in the future. Back then, I was going to ask you another question."Did you mean that you never persisted in your relationship with other women because you didn't like them at first glance?"Valerie lo

Mikhael was at a loss for words, but there was a subtle smile hidden in his eyes. "You—"But then, he heard Valerie's voice on the other end of the line. "I'm on my way to the hospital. I brought some food for you."Mikhael didn't prod, but he already had a guess in mind.After Valerie broke it off with Christopher, it would mean that she had completely let go of her past. She must have made the decision to start over, so in other words, she was beginning to accept Mikhael."Alright. Take care," Mikhael replied.Helena was sitting beside Mikhael, and she was peeling an apple for him.After peeling the apple, Helena handed it to Mikhael, but the latter ignored her."Mike, would you like an apple?" Helena asked.Mikhael didn't even spare her a glance. When he saw her holding the apple out to him, he shoved it away. Then, he said indifferently, "No."Just then, the door of the ward was opened.As Mikhael watched Valerie entering the ward with some food in her hands, Helena was s

However, Mikhael's temperature had felt a little too high just now. It was as if he had gotten a fever…As Valerie gazed at Mikhael's anxious behavior, she actually felt a little happy.Mikhael called out to her. "Val? Hey, Val?"Valerie returned to her senses and looked at Mikhael. She heard him calling her twice, so she asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"She had never seen him looking so serious before.Meanwhile, the coldness Mikhael seemed to be born with had completely vanished. "You didn't respond when I called your name just now. Was it so bad that you couldn't hear my voice?"Valerie didn't see any point in lying about this, and she knew she couldn't deny it. "Yes."With an earnest look on his face, Mikhael shared his thoughts with Valerie. "If you really can't take it, you don't have to force yourself all the time. I can always pick you up and drop you off in the future. I'll be your personal driver."Still, Valerie had no intentions to give up now. After all, at

After James had finished speaking, he sneakily looked up to observe Mikhael's expression.After making sure that Mikhael wasn't annoyed or about to say anything, he finally grew bold enough to continue his speech."Under normal circumstances, if you have accepted her and intend to marry her, then you'd definitely want to introduce her to your friends. You'd want her to learn more about your social circle, right?"Think about it. If you've never introduced your girlfriend to us, you'll find it quite tricky to invite us to events like your wedding, the engagement party, baby showers, and all that stuff."Mikhael felt that James had a point. He nodded.James instantly felt encouraged. The expression on his face and the tone of his voice took on a more pleasing quality. "So, Mr. Westwood, don't you feel like… it's about time to bring your girlfriend with you so that we can get to know each other?"Mikhael replied, "Nope. I'll tell her about you guys when I go back, and I'll show her

Nathan wished he could slap himself.How could he have been so stupid? With Mikhael around, Valerie wouldn't need help from a powerless small fry like him!"Mr. Westwood is very knowledgeable and skilled in many areas. Mrs. Westwood, if there's anything you need help with, you can just ask him. I'm sure he'll resolve your problems flawlessly." With Mikhael glaring at him, Nathan praised Mikhael endlessly.Valerie listened to every word. From time to time, she would nod cooperatively, agreeing with Nathan.But in reality, she could tell that they were scared of Mikhael's wrath. That was why she played along with them on purpose.She noticed that ever since they entered the room, there had been a stiff look on Mikhael's face. He was probably mad because of the conversation about bars.Valerie felt that she needed to do something to ease the tension in the atmosphere. So, she turned and looked at Mikhael's friends, saying, "I know. Mikhael is an expert at settling matters."When Va

"I'm at Ebony Beach right now," Fiona said as she buried her face behind the high collar of her windbreaker. Her voice was glum as she continued, "When are you coming?"Wilson checked his flight ticket before replying with a smile, "Well, it can't be helped. I need to focus on the renovation work for your house, you know. I don't want to be paid for doing nothing. I might only be able to join you when you move to the next country. Don't be too reliant on me. Enjoy yourself—"Fiona ended the call in a huff.She and Wilson had traveled to about four or five countries together before a problem came up with her house. Wilson had no choice but to fly back, making two transfers before he finally got back to the country.Meanwhile, apart from hiding the plane ticket he already got from Fiona, Wilson was also hiding a ring in his pocket. He had only bought one because he was going to propose to Fiona, and he would be fine no matter what her response was. Either way, this ring was for him.

"After saying that, he said a lot of other things I didn't understand," Fiona said exasperatedly. "It'll be good if he never shows up in front of me again."She had finally freed herself from all those messy things. She didn't want to have to be reminded of them anymore.Wilson knew that Michael was going to die, but he selfishly didn't want to tell Fiona that.His mission wasn't to marry Fiona or anything. There was only one goal he had to complete, and that was to make her happy.Happiness could be achieved in many ways. In the beginning, Wilson wanted to get Fiona to accept his love so that he could shower her with care and affection to keep her happy. But over time, he slowly realized just how wonderful she was. It was from then that he couldn't bear to trick her into feeling happy because of his pretense. He didn't want it to just be a part of a mission.Therefore, he didn't want to force Fiona into anything. He genuinely wanted to treat her well."Now that you've resigned,

Looking rather conflicted, Wilson opened his mouth to speak, but at the very next second, he trembled violently and fell to the floor. He winced in pain as his body kept spasming.Alarmed, Fiona reached out to help him up, but he swiftly rolled away from her. Gasping as if he had been through a great deal of pain, he said with a rueful smile, "Don't touch me. You'll get electrocuted."Instantly, Fiona figured out what was happening, and she was filled with remorse.The system wouldn't allow its operative to mention anything related to its programming. It would electrocute the operative to stop it from happening. Fiona had nearly blurted something out in the past, only to end up getting zapped with electricity. The pain had been unbearable.It took some time before Wilson finally recovered. Once he felt better, he sat on the floor and looked up at Fiona, saying, "I'm sorry."He was sorry he couldn't tell her and for lying to her at the start. Although he couldn't say that aloud, hi

Fiona's mind was all fuzzy and jumbled up. She knew it was possible for someone to fall in love with their mission target. She had done it herself after all, so why couldn't she believe Wilson?Perhaps Michael was to blame for that.Still, Wilson looked serious. He confessed his love for her as solemnly as if he were proposing to her or declaring his marriage vows to her."Fiona," Wilson said before pressing his cool lips against the back of her hand. "Don't reject me."Cheeks flushed, Fiona looked away and pulled her hand back, saying, "Give me some time to think. Don't force me."Wilson obligingly stood up, his tall figure looking meek and obedient. He had brought medicine for her and even gave her candy to bribe her with, as if she were a child.Once Fiona took the medication, her head didn't seem to hurt as much. She looked at Wilson and asked, "How did you know I was sick?"Wilson knew where she was staying because he had dropped her off on the motorbike the other night, bu

The rational side of Fiona was telling her that Michael was capable of coming up with any kind of story he wanted, but the emotional side of her couldn't help but recall all the details of her every encounter with Wilson.Had all those coincidental meetings and sweet moments been created on purpose, just like she had once done?Still, regardless of what Wilson was, Fiona wouldn't forgive Michael anyway. She pushed his hands off her and shook her head, saying, "I don't know if you're telling the truth. I'll ask him about it myself. But even so, why should I leave with you? Am I supposed to give you another chance to hurt me, Michael?""Fi, I've really learned from my mistakes," Michael hastily declared. "You're still so young. Just give me another chance, please? I really miss you so much.""What does my youth have to do with you?" Fiona shot back, feeling rather mystified by his behavior. "Was I not young enough back in the world where I met you? Didn't I end up wasting all of my t

No matter how great the weekend was, Fiona still had to head to work and deal with the mess at the office. She knew that she might be subjected to her housemates' inquisitive looks if she went back to the house, so she stayed at a hotel instead.She could hazard a guess as to who had sent that email, but without any evidence to back her up, she had to set her suspicions aside for now.Fiona headed to the office as usual. When she arrived, her colleagues all fell silent mid-conversation. Several probing gazes landed on her, and Eunice quickly ran over, asking, "Where have you been staying the last two days, Fi?""I got myself a hotel room," Fiona replied with a pleasant smile. "Is that answer to your satisfaction?""Why would you say that?" Eunice asked awkwardly.Fiona didn't reply. She wasn't the kind of person who would stir up drama for no reason, but that didn't mean she would take things lying down either. If the matter couldn't be settled properly, she would just see it to t

Fiona was taken aback.The fire was reflected in Wilson's eyes, making them flicker with light. After a while, he chuckled and said, "The experts say there might be a meteor shower tonight, but it's not a guarantee. Will you be mad if it doesn't happen after all?"Fiona shook her head. A warm, fuzzy feeling filled her heart. Wilson was acting like a child who wanted to share everything of interest he could find with her. It made her feel important to him.Wilson didn't need money, so it wasn't as though the sales she brought in for the bar were much of a motivator for him. Why was he treating her so well then?The answer that seemed the most obvious made Fiona's heart pound. She recalled the terrible blunder she had made with her last relationship. There was still a mess at the office that she needed to deal with, but as if eloping, she came running out to the middle of nowhere to see a meteor shower that may not even happen.It was ludicrous yet exciting all the same.Fiona's ph

No matter how cool a motorbike was, there was a limit to its speed. Wilson and Fiona were on the road for half an hour before they arrived at their destination.Fiona was rather stunned by the location they were in.Wilson had taken her to the edge of the city. It was possible that having lived the first two decades of her life in severe hardship led to her never realizing that a concrete city could still be home to a forest.The leaves rustled as the evening breeze caressed the trees. The moonlight lit up the ground, basking everything in a glow of faint light.Wilson looked to the side, his gaze falling on Fiona's gaping mouth. Smiling, he asked, "Do you like it here?"Fiona couldn't speak. All she could do was nod earnestly."There's even more fun to come," he said before taking her hand.While it was beautiful out here, it was still in the middle of nowhere. Fiona fidgeted nervously, to which Wilson responded by tightening his grip on her hand and asking softly, "Do you know

After talking to Geraldine, Fiona found out that the entire company had received that email, and it couldn't be traced back to its sender. Thus, the company management had no choice but to quickly try and resolve the matter instead.Geraldine had been the one who confirmed Fiona's permanent position with the company, so she knew there was little veracity to the claims in that email. Nevertheless, she had to ask, "Those things said in the email are all untrue, right?"Exhaling softly, Fiona said glumly, "Not all. I did go drinking at the bar."She did buy a house too, but she chose not to bring that up. At the end of the day, she believed in not flaunting one's wealth.Geraldine looked a little helpless. "That's your personal life. The company has no say in that. All that matters is the rest are all untrue. You can go back to work now. This isn't a big deal. We'll do our best to get to the bottom of things."Fiona nodded and went back to her desk. She figured the sender of the emai
