Running out, she run as far as she can with her tears still streaming down her face. Arriving at a desolated corner, she sat on the floor with her head in between her knees as she cried.Nathan was driving by him self after a hard day's work when he spotted a tiny little figure sitting on the ground with head buried in her knees. Taking a look, he looked away indifferently as he didn't care. Buh a moment later he felt the person looked familiar. Stepping on the brakes, he stopped the car at the opposite side of the street. Getting out he walked to the other side. Looking at her with head buried between her knees, He felt an inexplicable sadness within him. "Miss Hilda, are you okay?"Raising her head to look at him who was staring at her with a caring gaze, Hilda couldn't help but cry again. Getting up, she hugged him and cried desperately."Looking at her who was hugging him and crying as if she lost everything, he felt his heart tighten. Patting her back, he said to her. "Don't wor
Looking at the details, he frowned. Pushing it aside, he busied himself with work.Nathan finally packed up his work when it was past midnight. He stood on the balcony gazing at the sky. It was deep into the night and his residence was engulfed by complete darkness. His sharp bright eyes looked brighter than usual under the night sky.He passed by the master's bedroom and entered. Hilda was still sleeping peacefully but he decided to watch over her lest her fever became serious overnight.As he stood by the bedside gazing down on Hilda, He noticed her initial scarlet face had now returned to normal. She was looking exquisite.Nathan could tell at first glance that Hilda was a real beauty but he didn't expect her to look this good.With a smile, he pulled the blanket over her with his slender fingers. She looked rather unruly when she slept as her usual demeanor was different. It was too warm for her as she gave the blanket a kick when she felt it revealing her bare shoulders.At that
Pulling a chair out, Hilda remained standing for a long time.Nathan retracted his gaze and his lips curled into a faint smile. "Family? I don't have one yet."Hilda's heart beat uncontrollably as she wondered if she had said something she shouldn't have. Feeling at a loss, she finally sat down.Nathan smiled and brought a pot of porridge from the kitchen. "Miss Hilda, it couldn't be helped last night as I had to lower your body temperature. The doctor said you might have a fever again today but since you are all fine you should take something really light."Hilda looked at him in surprise. He looked different from the usual cold demeanor he usually had. Nathan wasn't in suit today. He merely wore a set of grey colored casual clothes but he still looked really good. And the most surprising was his homely demeanor. He could even cook. "It smells good." Hilda said as she took a whiff.Nathan smiled and filled her bowl with some porridge. "Then give it a try. I only started making it ea
Hilda thought for while before speaking. "My relationship with the Adams family is very complicated. You already know it. I do not have access to any of my family's share nor a place in the family business. You are aware of that right? And I'm already gonna be given off on a marriage alliance with another family so once they find out..."Nathan nodded. "Only a worthless man would depend on his woman like this for family alliance. And you don't have to worry about these. I will take care of it once we get married. Don't you trust me?" Hilda laughed. "Okay."Nathan raised his tone slightly and asked in confusion. "I was thinking you would be talking more about matters relating to your personal benefits?""Benefits?" Hilda felt uncomfortable for some reasons. She didn't want their marriage to involve such things. "There is no need to talk about those. I trust you."Nathan curled his lips. "Since you have no more questions, when do you want to get married?" Hilda felt complicated. She h
The dress fitted her perfectly. Even the underwear she was given fitted well. Technically, they were both strangers but the man knew her size very well.Hilda bit her lower lip and looked at herself in the mirror. She was blushing. She slapped herself in frustration. "Hilda, wake up!"After a while, she calmed her nerves before tugging on the dress awkwardly before leaving the restroom.The man was not in the bedroom when she entered and she had no idea where he was. Feeling relieved, she patted her chest only to notice the man walking out of his walk - in closet. She widened her eyes instantly.She had know that Nathan had an athletic build and a perfect body. But looking at him now, she was in awe. The man had a black suit on. Since the curtain was opened, his back was against the sunlight, and so he appeared like a deity with a halo. Hilda was so in awe. She merely stared at him without blinking her eyes.Nathan was holding his cufflinks with one hand as he tidied his sleeves. When
Daniel stood in front of her and blocked her path. "Hilda, I'm worried about you. Where were you last night? Carmen and I were worried sick. You are my first love so you should know that I would always love you. We called you so many times but you didn't even bother to pick up the calls. We...""Enough! Worried? Hah. Why would you be worried? Weren't you guys so in love and couldn't wait to get engaged? So you should try your best and stop saying this silly things about you loving me. I'm your sister- in - law.""Hilda, why are you so on guard against me? I'm your first love and brother in law. I would never think of harming you. We are doing everything for your own good Hilda.""Never harm me? Hilda scoffed at his words. "Think about what all of you did and ask your conscience whether you have harmed me or not. Please just let me be. We are at work so we should not be talking about such matters."Daniel refused to give up even though Hilda had made her self clear. "You have misunderst
Daniel knew it would be useless since he already had an argument with Hilda earlier. "Carmen, since she said she is okay, let's go and have it alone." With that he held Carmen's hand, turned around and strode out. Since Carmen had already achieved what she wanted, she stopped at the doorway, turned back and smiled as triumph flashed through her eyes before walking away.After they left Hilda received a call. Looking at the caller Id, she frowned before answering. "Mother.""You unfilial daughter. Don't call me that. Till when are you waiting to come back home? Hurry and come back home after work today. It is your grandmother's birthday." As soon as Amanda heard said this, she hanged up without waiting for Hilda's reply.Looking at the phone which was hanged up, Hilda smiled bitterly.In Daniel's office, Carmen's adorable face scrunched up sadly. She held onto Daniel's hand innocently while swaying slightly to soothe him. "I have always had a good relationship with Hilda. I am the on
"Hilda meet Mr. Rex Cross. He is the Young Master of the Cross Family. Mr. Rex, this is my daughter I told you about."Looking at Hilda who was simply dressed with a little makeup, Rex's eyes lit up. She is a beauty. Taking her hand Rex spoke up "Hi Miss Hilda, I'm Rex. Nice to meet you."Frowning Hilda replied. "Hi Mr. Rex, Is a pleasure to meet you."With that Mrs. Adams said shamelessly. "I will leave you two to get to know each other. As I said, Mr. Rex, Hilda is single and so are you."Understanding the meaning of her words, Hilda smiled bitterly and thought. So I'm the bargaining chip here for them to get a marriage alliance with the Cross family. What a shame.Rex stared internly at Hilda as he thought she isn't so bad after all.Everyone in Taadi knows who Rex was. He was young but leads a promiscuous life. Looking at him who was staring at her flirticiously, Hilda shuddered.As they were standing and looking at each other awkwardly, Carmen came over with a drink. "Mr. Rex, Si
