In the noisy bar with music blaring, Dylan and Danny sat in a secluded corner, unnoticed unless someone paid special attention to them. Dylan licked his lips. It was his first time stepping into a bar, as he never really liked noisy and chaotic places like this before."How do you feel about this place?" Danny asked with a smile, looking completely different from his disheveled appearance yesterday. He was now dressed in a neat outfit, not too tight nor loose, giving off a carefree vibe. Dylan felt that Danny looked really relaxed at the moment."It's okay," Dylan replied, lifting his glass of wine. "Does that guy keep bothering you?"After Danny broke up with that guy, his phone always seemed to have incoming calls, and even he seemed annoyed by it. Dylan had noticed several times that Danny would reject all the calls without any hesitation. Or if Danny did answer, he would hear the man's cursing or pleading for Danny to come back to him."Love is such a hassle," Dylan concluded.The
"I love you!" Those words hit Bernie like an atomic bomb. He stared blankly at the man in front of him. Dylan was trying to push him away, but Bernie rubbed his temples. Why did he dream of this scene? Was it because of Hein's influence, or was it because he had been single for too long? "Then let's go on a date!" Bernie blurted out without thinking. After all, it was his dream, and he could have it however he wanted. However, Bernie still felt a little guilty. The image of Dylan in his dream was about to shatter. When Dylan heard his words, he was stunned. He stared at Bernie as if he didn't hear what he had just said. "You...you..." "Didn't you just say that you love me?" Bernie ignored the strangeness and grabbed Dylan's hand. "Let's go on a date! I want to sleep now. Come sleep with me!" Afterwards, Bernie pulled Dylan onto the bed, using his whole body to hold him tightly in place. At times, Bernie considered himself to be extremely possessive, especially in moments like thi
Dylan dragged his exhausted body out of the hotel room, having tidied it up as neatly as possible. At least Bernie wouldn't suspect that he didn't have the courage to stay there. So, Dylan decided to run away, afraid that Bernie would wake up and see him there.When Dylan returned to the hotel, his face was pale, his legs trembling, and his back aching. Danny happened to be in the living room and seeing Dylan like this, he furrowed his brows."What happened to you..." Danny began to ask, but then he noticed the hickey on Dylan's neck and was shocked. "I didn't expect that, Dylan. Who did you go out with last night?"Dylan leaned against the wall and walked into the living room, and Danny stopped teasing him. He put down the item in his hand and helped Dylan sit down on the couch. It was only then that Dylan felt like he was coming back to life. He took a deep breath and massaged the sides of his temples. While at the hotel, after having sex with Bernie, he was too tired and fell aslee
Bernie's POVI gazed at Dylan's surprised expression even while he was sleeping, feeling a thrill of excitement. I restrained myself from pinching his cheek, sensing his annoyance within his chest as he furrowed his brows. I quickly let go of him, and he settled back into a deep sleep.I held onto Dylan tightly, then stood up and carried him to the bedroom. However, as soon as I placed Dylan on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes. His face turned pale like a sheet of paper, looking at me as if he had seen a ghost. He breathed heavily and hoarsely asked, "Bernie? Aren't you drunk?"I paused, not understanding what time period Dylan was referring to. If it was after I met Dylan, then I hadn't been drinking anymore. As for before that...I only drank during my college years and shortly after graduation. But during that time, I had never met Dylan.Various thoughts appeared in my mind, and the seeds of suspicion grew thicker day by day. In the end, what was Dylan hiding from me? Or rather
Bernie's POVDylan and I went downstairs together to meet John. Although he felt a bit uneasy, he obediently sat next to me. Witnessing that scene, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken. I tightly grasped Dylan's hand, glanced at John, and asked, "Do you have a way to make him remember everything from the past?"John pondered for a moment and then turned the question back to us, "So, it all began seven years ago when Dylan had a car accident, and then Olivia decided to use hypnosis to eliminate his painful memories. Am I correct?"Olivia stood beside us, sighing as she placed a glass of water on the table. "It was my own decision. Back then, Dylan was in immense pain, and Andy and I couldn't bear to see him suffer like that.""Mom..." he whispered, his voice pleading, and he blinked back tears. "I don't blame you, Mom."I embraced him tightly, gently patting Dylan's back to offer comfort. His body immediately tensed up, and I sighed, realizing that Dylan wasn't accustomed to my embrace
Dylan's POVStanding in front of the veterinary clinic, faint images suddenly flashed in my mind, as if I had stood there many times before. I rubbed my temples, biting my lip to endure the fleeting pain."Dylan, what's wrong?"In an instant, Bernie's gentle voice echoed in my ear, and the pain gradually subsided. Facing Bernie's concerned gaze, my heart softened, and I smiled in response, "I'm fine. Let's go inside quickly!"Upon hearing that, Bernie smiled and took hold of my hand, gently placing a kiss on my fingertips. My ears turned red; even though I had accepted the fact that we were a couple, I still couldn't fully adjust to Bernie's intimate gestures. I gently pulled my hand away from Bernie's and whispered, "Don't do that, we're in a public place!"Bernie burst into laughter, playfully tousling my slightly messy hair. "We're legally married, they can't judge us!"After saying that, he leaned in towards me as if he wanted to kiss my lips. I quickly glanced around and, not see
Dylan's POVStanding in front of the clinic's door, I suddenly felt a bit hesitant, even though we had been so encouraging to each other last night. I looked at Bernie, who seemed to be equally concerned, with his brows furrowed, and my heart skipped a beat. It turned out that I wasn't the only one feeling this way.I smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, it's just a routine medical checkup!" With that, I leaned in and gave Bernie a kiss. In that moment, I noticed the receptionist looking at us with curiosity, and her face turned slightly pink.Bernie gently stroked my hair, still looking worried, but his furrowed brows relaxed a bit. "Let's go inside," he said.He knocked on the door, and from inside, we heard a warm and welcoming voice saying, "Come in!"Her voice had a soothing effect, easing the anxiety in our hearts. Bernie and I exchanged glances, and I nodded with confidence.We pushed open the door and entered the room. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged woman with silver str
Bernie's POVAfter Dylan left, I was alone in the office, thinking about my date with him tonight. I couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. Earlier, I hadn't been as composed as I appeared; in front of Dylan, I had tried to be tough to make him confront his feelings. I sighed and rubbed my temples, the tension making me forget to tell Dylan where we were meeting.Maybe Dylan wasn't back to work yet, and I could use my authority to call him for a chat. I had never felt the power that came with my position as excellent as I did now, being able to mix business with personal matters. But that thought faded; I couldn't force Dylan to do what I wanted.After much contemplation, I left my office and headed to the assistant's room. Just a few minutes without seeing Dylan, I missed him so much it felt like an electric shock. It must be the Alpha blood in me surging. I took a deep breath, trying to regain my composure, and went to the assistant's room.As I was about to enter, I overheard Ch
