"What are you doing here, Catherine?" asked Caraline in a hushed voice. There was anger in her tone."That's also what I have to ask you, Caraline," Catherine replied, "you must be following me?""Why would I follow someone like you? I'm... I'm checking on the state of this tree." Caraline fingered a nearby tree."You are a loudmouth." Catherine chuckled."So, what are you doing here, Catherine?" Caraline rolled her eyes. She hurriedly moved her hands away from the tree trunk for fear that a caterpillar or snake would suddenly appear."I-I... I'm checking the quality of the soil here," Catherine said as she tapped the ground. "I...have plans for my home garden.""You liar!" snapped Caraline, "weren't you with Wilson earlier? Why are you pointing your cell phone at Deric?""I should be asking you that, Caraline." Catherine clapped her hands together. "I was... filming the atmosphere around the lake. I was thinking of making a small lake at my house. You also pointed your phone at Deric

Cheers of support erupted as soon as the two canoes began to move forward. The maids at the edge of the lake shouted in unison, not once did they jump. The normally quiet residence became crowded because of the match. "I'll make sure you cry today, crippled man," Wilson said with a haughty smile, "and so will you, Caraline."Wilson clucked, exerting more power. He was in pole position. Catherine smiled slightly, giving Caraline a mocking look. "They're annoying." Caraline rolled her eyes, blowing her hair down. Her gaze suddenly fell on Deric who was rowing the canoe. The muscular bulge of his arms was hypnotizing, especially when his chest moved back and forth. "Calm down," said Deric who was focused on the match. "I-I don't care about this match." Caraline turned her face to the side. Even so, her gaze occasionally stole a glance at Deric. Damn it, those arm and chest muscles kept hypnotizing her to make the man in front of her the center of the scene. "Damn, Deric is so handsom

"What are you still doing here, huh?" asked Caraline as she looked at the maids and bodyguards one by one. "Back to work!"The maids and bodyguards quickly cleaned up their gear and dispersed. The lake area that had been bustling was suddenly silent. Deric also drove the wheelchair towards his residence, passing Caraline without saying anything."What did he just do to me? Isn't Deric supposed to thank me or something?" Caraline muttered with her eyes following where Deric's wheelchair went. She ruffled her waist as she tapped the grass with her right foot. "He is an insensitive man."Caraline rolled her eyes and cleared her throat loudly, hoping that Deric would turn to her. However, until a few seconds passed, the man continued to drive until his body disappeared behind the door of his residence.Caraline rounded her eyes wide as the door closed from the inside. Her hands reflexively dropped from her waist. "Deric has gone too far. I hope... I hope I can rest easy today."Caraline r

Although Caraline's face and words seemed harsh, in reality, the woman followed Deric's request to close her eyes. Although it was too soon, she was ready to receive a kiss from the man. Her heart was jumping up and down as her face heated up. Unconsciously, Caraline leaned forward slightly, bringing her lips forward a few inches. God, this is nerve-wracking, she thought.Deric smiled slightly, tucked Caraline's hair behind her ear, and blew lightly on her forehead for the next few seconds.Caraline, on the other hand, suddenly froze as soon as the gentle breeze touched her skin. A strong tremor instantly traveled through her body. Caraline was tense to death but desperately hoped that her wish would come true. She didn't mind that after Deric kissed her she would faint.Deric gently stroked Caraline's forehead. "This wound will soon disappear."Caraline was lulled by Deric's treatment. However, she felt that the man in front of her was not doing what she wanted. That's why Caraline d

Caraline got out as soon as the wheelchair pulled up on the porch. Unexpectedly, Deric also took shelter on the porch. Occasionally the woman glanced at Deric, then observed her appearance which was wet in several parts. It was annoying, the rain had again thwarted her moment of togetherness with the man."This rain sucks," Caraline said as she glanced at Deric She threw her jacket at the man in an animated manner. "Especially when I'm stuck with a guy like you.""You know, rain is one of the signs that God loves us," Deric said without turning to Caraline. He opened his right hand to collect the rainwater. "With every drop, an angel is guarding it."Caraline rolled her eyes, shifting her body slightly to get closer to Deric. The air outside was getting colder at the moment, but she didn't want to enter the house just yet. Being alone with Deric at a time like this was a rare moment. Of course, she did not want to waste it. Being stuck for a few hours was something she could do."Rain
