Raymond looked up, sat in the back of a city park, looking at the city sky filled with white clouds. Snowflakes fell slowly like little cotton, covering the streets of Cirillo. His eyes fixed on a snow removal crew that would appear every three hours to clean up the snow on the road, using snow removal equipment with the size of an average adult height. He did not know how the device work, because, with that slim size, they can swallow a lot of snow with each suction. Like a black hole in space. The snow removal crew he saw now had a flat face while humming as he moved the tool to suck the snow, apparently unconcerned that someone was watching him. The man's appearance made him realize that he had spent six hours in this city park.
He raised his hands that were not wearing gloves. Red and stiff, so that he could barely feel his own hands. Today's cold air strangely did not bother him at all, although according to the weather forecast from hi
Yes. Last night he said it out loud and as clearly as the sky, asking Edward to let him stay over at his apartment. He needed a distraction, at least for his feelings for Hazel to completely disappear. To forget for a moment his reason for coming to this city. And he thought Edward could help him distract his mind. And the next day, he would return to his activities as usual, with the burden of the problem half lifted. Even though Edward agreed to let him stay the night, he did not attempt to do anything to him because, as soon as they arrived at Edward's apartment, the man kept quiet. He talked briefly to him, then opened the spare mattress that was kept in the closet and let him sleep on Edward's bed while the man slept on the mattress. Then Edward went straight to sleep after saying goodnight, even though it was still early. Not even mentioned their kiss at the park earlier ... "You already awake?" Edward gave a big yawn with his bed hair, approaching Raymond, who had been aw
Raymond stuffed his smartphone into his coat pocket after receiving a text from Thyme allowing him to take some day off because Verdict had taken care of everything. When he wanted a distraction, the people around him did not even give him a chance. Telling him to rest—something he would accept it gladly before but now he hated it. Precisely at times like this, what he needed was something that could make him busy, can be distracted him even if only for a moment. Raymond gave a deep sigh, closed his locker and walked out from the room. His working hours at this place was also over. There was no way he could ask Edward to increase his working hours, because there were already a few new employees hired by Edward, making that option impossible for him.He asked Mike who would normally agree if he offered to go home together
Raymond sucked deeply on his cigarette, to meet his lung cavity, then blew smoke into the air, which immediately integrated with the cold air of Cirillo City. From where he was now—in the balcony where he used to smoke, he could see mountains of snow that have piled up covering the roofs of people's houses and several public facilities, while office buildings are completely undisturbed by snow because they had an automatic snow removal feature that he did not know how it worked. He only heard it from Rachel yesterday, when he was forced to invite Rachel and her friends to eat at a restaurant after he left Martha. Unexpectedly, Rachel was the type who was very interested in architecture and technology, so that the woman explained it enthusiastically, in a simple way but still difficult for him to understand.Well, what people sa
All the way home after lunch, he ignored Hazel who repeatedly tried to talk to him, put earphones in his ears and played the song collection on his smartphone to make Hazel give up. It worked, because after that Hazel stopped talking to him. He continued to ignore Hazel when he got to the apartment, deciding to shut himself in his room. He just went out of his room to eat or when going to the bathroom.He did not know whether this action was right or not. All he knew, this was the only choice he could make for now. Instead, focus on finding out about Simon Clive. The information he got was very little. Martha only gave him a little information about the mafia group that was currently targeting Amanda. There was no way he could ask Martha for more clue. He tried to ask Lucas. But apparently, the man did not
'Get him out from my room now, Brother Ray.'Verdict gave Edward a sharp glare, who stood beside Raymond as soon as he complied with Verdict's request to bring Edward into Verdict's room. He wanted to tap the head of the man who was sitting on the bed with an IV tube attached to his left hand while his right hand was still bandaged.'It's okay, Raymond. I'm going outside first. Tell me when you're done,' Edward tapped Raymond on the shoulder, looking calm in the face of Verdict's impertinence.'Sorry, Edward. He always acts like this.'Edward shook his head, t
CLOSE FOR ROUTINE TREATMENT DAYA holographic cross with the font Helvetica welcomed them again. Behind the bar, the gate that served as the entrance to the national park of Cirillo city, which he only found out about today had it not been for Edward who took him here, was also closed, as were the fifteen places they had visited. His lips pursed, holding back indignation, cursing whoever was the one who created that damn routine daycare. After his plan to spend time on the ice skating rink failed because they didn't make a reservation before coming to the rink (and he forgot if he had to), Edward took the initiative to take him to various places, which might be still open during the day. The results are clear, impossible.He looked at the
Verdict continued to put on a strange face as soon as he was released from the hospital the next day. He looked at Raymond as if there was something he needed to explain in as much detail as possible. He dodged, trying to avoid Verdict's gaze which was getting more and more piercing, making him feel even more uncomfortable about it. The fact that Verdict's recovery process was too fast was enough to surprise the doctor who handled him, because even if he used the latest technology and medical knowledge, Verdict should have been in a coma for up to two months, then continued with the rehabilitation process that Verdict had to undergo until his body recovered to normal. He, who knew Verdict's monster recovery ability from the start, was not at all surprised to see Verdict fully recovered. Without a trace.But not the doctor who h
As soon as they arrived in front of the Umberbridge residence, Verdict immediately got out of the car and ran over to the girl when he saw Amanda, who was waiting for him at the front entrance with Thyme who seemed anxious awaiting his arrival,He did not give Amanda a chance at all, who was shocked because she was hugged tightly by a man who was now officially become her boyfriend.'I miss you.'That was the first word that rushed across the Verdict's lips after looking at the girl whose face looked blushing violently after hearing that. The man smiled, slightly lowered his head so he could see his girlfriend's face, laughing softly.
