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

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

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

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

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
