Chapter 4: Relying on you

The night sky was calm, black dyed everywhere, making the scene covered with a sad color. The lake surface is calm, only a few ripples are moving from time to time. The wind gently approached, gently shaking the beautiful silver hair of the girl lying on the grass.

That girl was wearing a dress made of pure white silk, from top to bottom without any embroidery on the background of the skirt. The simplicity of the dress, even more, accentuates the girl wearing that dress. Her skin is bright white, her silver hair is loose against a red background. Her whole body seemed to be covered with glittering light. Looking back from afar, the girl looked like a lost angel who had come down to earth.

Miren's soft body tilted slightly, she turned around, changing her posture. But suddenly fell into strong arms. The scent of woods suddenly appeared at the tip of Miren's nose causing her eyes to open. Miren's vision gradually clears, before her eyes are the image of the man she has always wanted to meet.

Miren curled her lips into a smile, burying her face deep in Dylan's lap.

"You go for a long time, once gone, you will disappear for nearly a year."

Dylan looked at the delicate girl in his lap, her coquettish and reliant figure exuding a natural charm. The thin nightgown could not hide the curves of Miren's body, faintly revealing her full breasts. Dylan's throat suddenly moved, he panicked and quickly averted his gaze.

His composure quickly returned and he sternly reminded Miren.

“Why are you sleeping outside like that? Do you want to get sick yourself?”

Miren's pretty face was still buried in Dylan's chest as she shook her head. She sulked as she reprimanded Dylan, her lip slightly curled.

"Who told you to leave for so long, if I hadn't done this, you wouldn't have come back to visit me."

Dylan looked at Miren and sighed again.

"You're all thinking nonsense, I said I'm leaving on business, and I also made it clear that this trip won't be back anytime soon, you know that."

Dylan's shirt button was slowly being touched by Miren's slender fingers. To make Dylan unable to scold her, Miren is posing in such a way as to show her pitifulness.

Dylan sighed, stopped talking, turned around, and hugged Miren into the big mansion.

Dylan gently stroked Miren's beautiful face, checking if her body temperature was normal. His hands were so cold, that every move of Miren's skin made her shiver. Miren looked at him with a passionate gaze, the love in her eyes for him unchanged.

Miren's hot gaze swept over Dylan, then settled on his handsome face again. The enchanting purple pupils, glitter when embracing Dylan's silhouette. Miren's eyelashes are curled, very long, soft, just like a spring butterfly fluttering gently.

She reached out, suddenly catching Dylan's hand. Pressing his hand to her cheek, she spoke urgently.

“Dylan, I miss you so much.”

Dylan looked at Miren, he could feel her feelings for him very clearly, but Dylan did not dare to accept Miren's feelings. He stared at Miren, then sighed softly. The five-year-old child that he brought back to the mansion has turned into a seventeen-year-old girl. In the age of psychological development, it is extremely normal for Miren to fall in love with someone of the opposite sex. Dylan has always considered himself as Miren's relative, he never dared to have any deviant thoughts about her.

He slowly withdrew his hand, looked at her tenderly, and smiled.

“I know, I miss you too.”

Miren looked at him, her eyes naturally becoming very sad. She pouted, her small hand grabbed the blanket beside her, wrapped it around her, and sulkily turned away.

Dylan helplessly looked at Miren, who was sulking. He's not a person with the ability to speak, but everything he's said to Miren so far has been true. He reached out, and gently placed his hand in her hair, stroking it slowly, little by little. The softness and shine of Miren's silver hair caused Dylan to give birth to a feeling of wanting to be hugged.

He lowered his head slightly, kissed a lock of Miren's hair, and spoke softly.

“Goodnight, my beautiful flower.”

Dylan stood up, turning to leave. Miren suddenly sat up and asked very seriously.

“You can't go. Come over here and rub my back, I want you to rub my back until I fall asleep."

Dylan finds Miren so adorable, she's like a little cat. Every emotion in her heart was evident on her face. She was the only one who dared to nag him.

He tried not to laugh, turning to look at Miren.

Of course, Dylan never refused Miren's request, he was always ready to fulfill her every request, no matter how unreasonable it was.

Miren lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her body curled up in the soft blanket. Dylan's hand gently stroked Miren's back, neither of them spoke a word, the scene was unusually peaceful and quiet.

Much later, when Miren's steady breathing resounded, Dylan's arm stopped. Dylan looked at the sleeping girl in his lap for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh once more. Strange thoughts kept appearing in his head making it impossible for him to think normally when facing Miren.

He knows very well the feelings that Miren has for him, but he does not dare to open his heart to receive her feelings, because he considers her no different from his daughter.

“Miren, what should I do with you?”

This time after Dylan got up, he left.

As soon as the door to the room closed, beautiful purple eyes opened. Miren did not sleep, the whole process she enjoyed the feeling of being cared for and loved by Dylan. Miren rolled a few times on the bed, her white skin glowing pink. She shyly buried her face in the pillow, thinking to herself about Dylan's gentle actions.

Dylan was always gentle and took good care of her. He never refused any of Miren's requests. Perhaps because she was taken care of too carefully by him, over time, Miren's feelings for Dylan were no longer pure, she had developed male and female love for him since when did not know.

But God knows how to tease her. Miren has never hidden his feelings for Dylan but Dylan always knows how to avoid her feelings.

Miren was very upset inside, she told herself that there was nothing wrong with Dylan. In terms of appearance, Miren can confidently pat her chest to affirm that she owns a beautiful appearance. She is always trying to learn and improve her knowledge. Everything related to the arts she knew in the palm of her hand. She tried for so many years but why does Dylan still refuse to accept her feelings, does he consider her as his child?
