This was the first time that Miya had time for herself in a week, and she was thinking of going to see her mother, however, she didn't want to Worry her mother nor give her the cold. She hesitated for a bit and decided to go back to Home for Sol.As soon as she got home, she went straight into her room and went to bed. When the maid came to ask her to have dinner at half-past seven, she muttered that she wasn't hungry and skipped dinner.***Meanwhile, Jodie was now in Sean's car. She was actually thrown into his car by Sean."Uncle Sean, how come you have so much time to 'care for' me? You must have a lot of work to do running such a big company. "Jodie asked, pouting her lips."Aren't you going to the pubs with that group of so-called friends again?""They are good friends." Jodie defended."Just a bunch of useless young people that waste time doing nothing all day.""Huh. What were you doing when you were at our age then?" Jodie pouted her lips."Are you suggesting i'm much older t

It was almost midnight, and if Sean was seen in Jodie's room, surely people would wonder and talk. isn't he doing it on purpose? Jodie thought."So what?" Sean said indifferently."Uncle Sean, please remember that legally I'm your adopted daughter, though your parents request me to call you uncle.""We are only twelve years apart.""But... but legally, I'm your daughter and.."Before Jodie could finish her sentence, Sean shut her up by plantinga kiss on her lips. It startled her at first, and soon she had to surrender to his melting kiss. It wasn't until she felt like she couldn't breathe did Sean release her.She gazed at him, breathing fast and heavily. "Uncle Sean, you can't...""Can't I? You loved kissing me when you were little. Why? No you don't like it anymore?""It's not the same. What we are doing now is...is..immor..." the word 'immoral' was swallowed by Sean's sudden kiss again. How his tongue swam around her mouth excitedJodie so much that she forgot to breathe, and when s

Jodie had a few yawns or pretended to, to imply that she was tired and sleepy. Jenny took the hint and said good night. As soon as Jodie closed the door and turned around, she saw Sean standing right in front of her, holding her pink underwear in one hand, and smiled cheekily."Wear this tomorrow." He said. Jodie blushed and covered her cheeks with her hands. "Sean!"She exclaimed.Sean threw the underwear onto Jodie's bed casually and whispered 'sweet dreams" into her ear as he walked past her and left her room.Lying on the bed, Jodie couldn't help recalling the kisses and touches from Sean and smiled contentedly. Is this what falling in love is like? She wondered and slowly fell into her dreamland.Xenon had just finished a confidential meeting with Jacob and a few managers about annimportant investment. When he got back home, he felt his head ache terribly.He had hardly slept last night and had been working all day today.Kevin could sense that he wasn't in a good mood. Seeing hi

She got up immediately and jumped into the shower. As soon as she got ready, she ran downstairs to look for the driver. But the chief maid stopped her."Good morning, Mrs. Miya Uba, your breakfast isready:""Ah, thanks, but I will skip it. I'm late for work." Miya said hurriedly."It's Mr. Xenon Anderson's order that you have yoụr breakfast before you go to work."Miya stopped and turned around to stare at the maid, surprised. His order? He cares about me?!Now that it was Xenon's order, Miya could only obey. She. wolfed down two slices of toast and a glass of milk, then hurried to Work.It was almost eleven when she arrived at the door of the office.Just as she intended to sneak quietly, she spotted Levi coming towards her.Awkwardly, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Levi.""Mrs. Miya Anderson, you are an hour and a half late," Levi said."Did Xenon ask you...""Mr. Xenon Anderson said..." Just then, Jacob suddenly showed up and waved at Miya. "Hey!Look at you. How flexible you

"Then, go and work. And leave me alone." Xenon said sternly."Alright." Jacob pouted his lips. and left Xenon's office reluctantly.Jacob was bright and clever. He did his work well and efficiently, and usually with fun. He was rarely a serious person.It might seem to people that he never cared about his work but spent too much time having fun.The fact was that the departments that he was in the charge was all running well, and there had never been any problems since Jacob took over.That was the reason why he was assigned such an important position at an early age, and no one would ever judge or complain.Whatever he wanted to do, he did it well and fast.After leaving Xenon's office and feeling bored, Jacob wandered about and got to the floor where Jodie's office was.He happened to spot Jodie going into the lift carrying some documents. Jacob hurried and followed her in. He stood next to her and looked her up and down before he commented, "Hey, Jodie, aren't you a bit too boyish?

Xenon's face lit up at the sight of his lunch. He was pleased, and Miya was rather surprised to see a content smile on him. She couldn't help finding him charming. Feeling bashful, she put the plate down on the table and looked away.Xenon sat down and enjoyed his lunch. "You are quite a master at cooking and baking. You've got good taste in art." Xenon Commented suddenly."Thank you. I must have got it from my mum. She's an artist herself and very talented in lots of things.""Tell me about her.""Well, she's a gardener and created the most beautiful garden at home, I would say. She's a great cook as well, and she paints and. plays the piano really well." Miya said proudly, then she paused and added sadly, "or she used to. Since dad passed away and mum had a heart attack, everything changed."Xenon looked at Miya for a while but made no comment. When he had finished eating, he asked, "Do. you still want to be a designer?""Of course!" Miya exclaimed, and her face lit up with excite

"But even if I agreed to be your spy, he will surely suspect me if I just go and tell him now that I willwork for him.""Wait till he asks you again. Also, if he asks why you can just tell him that I threaten you with your mother's life and you hate me for that."Miya opened her eyes wide. How does he know my real thoughts? She wondered rather anxiously. I thought I had been hiding my real thoughts and emotions well.'Xenon, honey, please. I really can't be a spy. Please.." Miya put her arms around Xenon's neck and pleaded rather flirtatiously. She thought she should try a different strategy.Xenon frowned. "Don't give me that. You are just a pet."Miya pouted her lips and nodded. "I see. Ok, I will try my best."Xenon gave her a push and gestured that she should leave now.He leaned back in his seat and. watched Miya leave. With Miya's talent in cooking and design or art, as well as the fact that she looked like Sol, Xenon did want to keep Miya. However, he had to make sure that she

Tentatively, Levi suggested, "Mr. Xenon Uba, I thought that if she feels more respect from you,she will probably be more certain." Xenon sneered and gestured to Levi to leave.As usual, Xenon and Miya went back to Home for Sol after work. While Miya was busy cooking in the kitchen, Xenon was watching the news in the living room.Xenon's phone rang, and it was Jacob. "Hey, Xenon. What time are you coming? We are all here now.""I'm not going," Xenon said plainly.n"Xenon, you haven't been out since I can't remember when. Guess you are at home now? She surely knows how to keep you home!" Jacob complained.Xenon was at first annoyed by Jacob's comment, but as he watched Miya and thought about it, he suddenly realized that it was true that since he got married, he had lost interest in going out at night. He was actually content being home.Has she actually changed me?! He thought and hated the thought itself. No way! No one can change me, especially her! He suddenly got up and intended

"I haven't promised anything yet, but show me the draft when it's done, and I will talk with the board members," Xenon said, then he beckoned Miya over."Come, jump in."Miya shook her head and retreated. "I'm scared of water.""Scared? Why?""I had a terrible fever once when I was little. It was because I stayed outdoors playing with water in the cold winter. My parents said it took me almost one month to recover, and since then, they never allowed me to go into the water again."Xenon listened while recalling the scene when the little girl was trying to save him and fell into the water herself. "How old were you? And where was it?"Miya shook her head."I can't remember."Usually, people can remember what happened at about five years old. She must be too young then if she can't remember at all. The little girl that saved me was about eight or nine. It can't be her. Xenon thought and took a look at the corner of her left eye again.nNo. I remember the little girl has a mole there. But

Sarah was born as an artist and. musician. She had a great talent for art, but ever since her husband passed away, she lost her interest in everything.However, she could see the expectation and eagerness in her daughter's eyes and couldn't bear to say no to her.Patiently, Sarah talked with Miya and suggested a few things that could be changed. Miya took notes, intending to work on it once she got home.Feeling tired and sleepy, Sarah yawned. The nurse came in and said with a smile. "How are you Miya? I was just about to take Sarah out for a little walk before bed. Lying in bed for too long isn't good for the body nor the mind, byou see.""Right. Shall I take her?" Miya asked."Sure." The nurse said good night to them and left.Miya took Sarah's arm, and slowly they took the lift and went up to the rooftop garden. The moon shone gently tonight."Mum, you know, I've always loved our little garden. You are the best gardener l know." Miya said cheerfully.Sarah nodded with a smile, yet
