65. A quick trip (1)
Lila dozed off once she settled in Andrew's car. A full dynamic and energetic day without a proper meal had drained her.
She slept soundly alone in the back seat while Andrew was in the passenger seat next to Henry who drove the car.The sky was dark when her eyes fluttered open. Andrew's jacket slid down from her shoulder to her lap."Finally, the sleeping beauty's snoring stops." Henry's eyes sparkling in the rearview mirror."I'm sorry, Henry. I can't hear you clearly, all I heard is beauty." Lila yawned.Andrew chuckled. Which became regular since Lila officially joined their circle. And it also wasn't a surprise anymore for Henry."Here." Andrew handed a bottle of water.Then patiently, Andrew and Henry waited while Lila drank the water. Because her satisfied expression in every gulp as downing the bottle was a sight to see."Why are we still in the car?" Lila closed the bottle lid. "Why don't you guys wakeRelated chapters

The soft morning sunrays infiltrated the curtains in Lila's bedroom.She woke up. Satisfied because of a very good night's sleep. To be precise, because of what she had heard before falling into a deep sleep with a wide smile.Andrew's scent was easily absorbed by her breathing system. Alerting the wires in her brain to be up. Right on time so that she could anticipate the lightning strike when his hand landed on her forehead while pretending to be asleep.She was right all along. Andrew did love her. It was just his nonsense guilt that forbade him to admit his love toward her.Now that she knew his feelings, her wicked side kicked in. She didn't want to make it easy for him to get her. Nope.Turns out, they occupied a three bedrooms' suite with a huge living room and a beautiful city view. She observed as she stepped out of her room, surely after freshening herself.Hearing Andrew and Henry engrossing in a discussion, she walked

Tea and some refreshment were wheeled into the suite's living room by the hotel manager.If the manager wondered why Lila curled on the armchair, hiding her face, he kept it to himself. Instead, after serving the tea, he showed a fancy box to Andrew. "Here's the glasses you asked for earlier, Mr. Mac Miller.""Thank you, Mr. Manager." Andrew took the fancy box. He gave the manager a cordial smile before the manager bowed and left.He turned to Lila who was pretending the show on tv required her focus and attention which he was sure she couldn't see the show clearly. He knew she was still embarrassed for mistaking him with someone else an hour ago when an accident happened in the famous city landmark's sidewalk.Amused, he bit his lip. Then clearing his throat to get Lila's eyes at him. "Put these on, so you can see your face turning red clearly."Taking the box from Andrew's hand, Lila glared at his amused face. Her embarrassment was gone

Edvard sat alone inside his car. He arrived early to get a parking spot as near as possible to the research building so that he could have a good view of everyone who entered the building, hoping he could see one particular person that occupied his mind.Worry had him fail to do his everyday duty as the second prince. He was out of shape, looking nothing like a prince. So messed up, he couldn't sleep and eat properly. Like something wrong was happening in his life.After Dan's funeral the other day, Lila looked really dejected. He wanted to console her because he also felt guilty for putting her in danger, but his every move was blocked by the disturbing Andrew. His only chance to talk to her was at the end of the funeral when it was time to say goodbye.Phone calls and messages seemed on hold. So then he went to her Aunt and Uncle's house, too bad Andrew beat him again. Her uncle told him that Lila went to do volunteer work with Andrew. Which he knew was
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 69. Carla's new personality
"I don't have enough money to buy a drink there."Lila fixed a blank flat look at her cousin, Carla. Her eyes drilled into Carla's, searching for something to validate her doubt.Since Carla came to her lab when she was tidying her work, she didn't believe a thing from Carla's mouth.Well, there was one thing though. Carla suspected Andrew made her lose a few jobs, while she was a hundred percent sure Andrew was behind it. She knew it was an easy thing for Andrew.But it was almost impossible to believe when Carla said that she was sorry for everything she had done to her and wanted to fix their relationship.Losing jobs would never change someone with spiteful and hatred that rooted for thirteen years into a better person. The change perhaps to get the job back or revenge. That was what she thought about Carla's intention.Lila said nothing then walked inside the fancy cafe. She failed to find anything to validate her doubt. Not

"What is she doing here?" Andrew's smile dropped and his step halted upon seeing who was the one behind Lila. "Why is she with you?"His abrupt halt made Lila halt her step too. Behind Andrew, Lila saw Maggie was sitting on the long sofa and calmly put her drink onto the table.She was slightly irritated. Though she understood perfectly why he acted that way toward Carla, did he have to spark fire like that in front of Maggie?"I told you this isn't a good idea." Lila heard Carla's whisper.When they were in the hospital to get some stitches for Carla's wounded hand, Lila invited Carla to go with her to directly apologize to Andrew and Carla uttered the same thing.She knew Carla was worried then, and right this moment she sensed Carla was worried and scared at the same time.Andrew could be very scary when he was mad, she had witnessed it once. He coldly dumped Tony out of the country, because Tony did something inappropriate to

When Lila agreed to Prince Edvard's invitation to go to the museum with him, it was Saturday morning.Since Edvard was Andrew's relative, she thought becoming Edvard's friend was part of her duty as Andrew's girlfriend.She also became used to the cup of coffee and a pink rose that was delivered every morning on her desk. To the angel, whoever he or she might be, who sent the coffee and pink rose to her, she felt grateful and quit questioning it. Because she really liked the coffee and enjoyed every delicious drop of it.Sunday morning came. Edvard waited for Lila inside his car a few metres from a bus stop. He didn't understand why she asked to meet at this specific bus stop, since her uncle's house was far away from the bus stop.He realized there were so many things that he didn't know about Lila, and he wanted to know all of those things to understand her.Like right now as he watched Lila get off of the bus which served a route from
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 1. Shameless Activity
Lila opened her apartment door. She was quiet, but her apartment didn’t seem so quiet. An ear-spitting moan welcomed her. The sound came from her bedroom. She knew her boyfriend was in her apartment because he texted her so when she was on her way to collect blood sample for her own research. His text made her decided to go back and put the blood sample collecting on hold. With wide smile and exciting heart Lila got off of the bus then took the route home bus. She couldn’t wait to see her boyfriend since they hadn’t seen each other for five months because of his overseas work assignment. The disturbing sound got louder. Frowning, she took a light step towards her bedroom. Is he watching a porn? The bedroom door was ajar and the air was tense. Clothes were thrown on the floor. Her frown deepened when she saw a bra and a panty that weren’t belong to her, lying innocently on the floor near her bed. Those certainly not hers, she didn’t like laces

The mysterious man was standing in front of Lila. The thing that never happened before. Lila gave him a puzzle look as his hand was holding a bottle of water and a pouch of baby wipes. “I don’t know what the laptop did to you that pissed you off. I’m sure your laptop is innocent.” Lila gave him an amused furrow, then he continued. “The water is to cool your nerves, and the wipes for freshen up because you look—” Oh god! Lila just remembered that she cried hard before, her looks must be messier with her swollen eyes. This is embarrassing! His hanging words surely because he was looking for unoffensive word to say to her. “—different.” He said after few seconds pause. “I’ve never seen you different like this for the past thirteen years. I hope the laptop doesn’t do something horrible.” His accusation tone didn’t sound offensive at all, it even sounded funny. Lila smiled widely, ignoring the fact that she might look ugly. Ri
