"What are your plans after this, Caraline?" asked Deric. Instead of answering, Caralie was busy watching the man in front of her from top to bottom through the tail of the eye. "Why do I have to answer your questions? Can you understand your position now?"Honestly, Caraline was a bit offended when Deric called her by her name directly. The woman admitted that she was weird because she was the one who asked Deric to drop the lady's appendage."I'm in the position of someone waiting to hear back from you," Deric replied as he pushed his wheelchair toward Caraline.Seeing Deric approaching, Caraline reflexively retreated without looking at the road conditions. As a result, her foot accidentally tripped over her long skirt, causing her to fall onto the grass. "Aw!"For a moment, Caraline remained silent as she gazed up at the sky beyond the transparent dome of this room. Her eyes widened as she realized what had just happened. As she looked to her left and right, Caraline noticed

"I'm sure James and Jonathan have tried to show their concern." Jeremy kept the glass on the table, then stood up and approached Deric. "Then why don't you try it?""We got those shoes at the best shop in town," Jonathan lied. Anyone would have guessed the shoes were found in a trash or junkyard. "The model is perfect for your beautiful legs. Isn't that right, James?"James laughed out loud. He was even holding his stomach. After the laughter stopped, he said, "There is no more special gift for you than these shoes. So use it to appreciate our gifts."Deric smiled, taking the shoes out of the box. As expected, it was no longer usable. There was a large hole in the front like a gaping mouth. This was much worse than the shoes he was wearing this morning. Admittedly, his siblings were gifted with insults and theatrics."Be happy." Jonathan raised Deric's hands suddenly from behind. Meanwhile, James immediately squatted down and threw away the man's shoes carelessly.James painstakingly

Caraline blinked a few times before her body rose from her sleeping position. The woman then slowly massaged her head while shifting her sitting position to the edge of the mattress. When her vision returned to normal, her eyes suddenly widened when she saw the dark condition of the room.Shaking off the feeling of panic, Caraline immediately reached for the cell phone that was on the bedside table, even though she had to grope for a few things first. It was already eleven o'clock when the cell phone screen lit up."How long have I been asleep?" Caraline squinted as the cell phone light shone on her face which was still covered in confusion.Caraline immediately turned on the electricity with her cell phone. The room was bathed in the light again. The woman lay back on the bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling. It was so quiet he could hear her breathing.Caraline sank into thought. Flashes of memory alternately appear in the mind. As she recalls, after leaving the wedding location

As soon as the 'ting' sound was heard, Caraline quickly stepped out of the elevator. She rushed to the rooftop, then stopped in front of the door."I'm going to eliminate you!" said Caraline as she pressed the password.When the door opened, Caraline didn't immediately enter the room. She first stabilized her breathing while thinking about what stupid thing she had just done. Caraline stomped the floor vigorously as she entered the room. It was dark enough to require caution. The only sources of light were the moonlight and the stars in the sky, which were visible through the transparent dome.Caraline pressed her cell phone, which was connected to the rooftop garden system. Shortly after, the room was brightly lit again. She quickly scanned the surroundings while letting her steps sweep across the green grass.In the middle of her search, Caraline accidentally stepped on something. Taking a step back, she found a black shoe lying on the grass. She also found a similar object not far

Caraline slapped her cheeks a few times once she was in the elevator. Her face was as red as a boiled crab. She screamed as she pulled her hair repeatedly in embarrassment and annoyance at what had just happened. Just imagine, a CEO of a cosmetics and fashion company looking like this, especially in front of a stranger she just met two days ago.Caraline was in a hurry when the elevator doors opened. As soon as she exited the lobby, she greedily gulped in oxygen. She then clung to herself as the cold air chilled her to the bone."You should be fine," said Deric who had just come out of the lobby.Caraline closed her eyes for a moment as the head of her hand hardened. She had no intention of turning to Deric. "How dare you follow me.""I'm pretty sure that you just asked me to follow you a few minutes ago," Deric replied."Shut up and don't talk to me anymore!" Caraline walked towards the car parked in front. Once her body was seated in the driving seat, she spoke again, "I won't help

Caraline felt so electrified that her body shook violently when she heard Deric's words. Her heart was about to explode as her eyes bulged. "Don't joke around! That sounds completely absurd.""The world is full of nonsense," Deric said with a chuckle as he remembered Caraline saying the same thing.Caraline turned her head with a look of annoyance, then chuckled. The man beside her had just returned her words at that moment. How annoying."Look deeper into yourself!" Caraline spoke with a condescending look. "You're even confined to a wheelchair. So, how could I possibly believe your words? I'm sorry I don't believe in miracles.""I'm not asking you to believe me at all," Deric replied with a calm expression."Then why are you promising something if you're not asking me to believe it?" Caraline stomped down the street, biting her lower lip to keep from screaming in the early morning.Deric said, "I just want you to feel that I'm taking care of you."Although the air in Heaventown was

Deric blinked as the sunlight teased his consciousness. The man massaged his head slowly, changing his position to sitting. Once his vision normalized, he cast his eyes around the room. This place seemed unfamiliar to him.Deric exited the room with his wheelchair. The first sight that greeted him was a small lake and a large courtyard with neatly arranged trees. As soon as he turned his head to the side, a magnificent building stood proudly. Deric pushed the wheelchair forward. His gaze was still faithfully scanning the surroundings as his body moved around the courtyard. Whether it was a delusion or he was still trapped in dreamland, he felt like he was in a royal garden, and beautiful was the word that could represent the situation he saw at the moment.Satisfied with walking around the yard, Deric moved to the edge of the lake. Two swans were swimming around the area. Not far from them, there were two canoes parked. The sunlight trapped at the mouth of the lake creates crystals o

It was a frustrating day for Caraline. As the car pulled up to the office gates, she saw media members crowding the lobby. The woman entered under heavy guard. She let out a long breath as she exited the elevator. On her way to her office, she was surprised by Helen standing at the door with a worried look on her face."Are you all right, Miss Caraline?" asked Helen as she followed Caraline into the room. "I was so worried because you didn't reply to my messages or pick up my calls.""I hope I'm okay now," Caraline replied as she plopped down on a chair. When she looked at the clock, it was already ten am. "What's on my agenda now, Helen?"Helen squeezed her skirt, turning to Caraline nervously. "Miss Caraline, there's someone who's been waiting for you since earlier."Caraline, who had just opened her laptop, immediately turned her head. "Where is he now?""I'm here." Unexpectedly, Diego appeared from the doorway, flashing a smile as Caraline stared at him with a dumbfounded expressi

The music and the night view of Heaventown made dinner feel special. For a few moments, Caraline and Diego were lost in their meal. When their eyes accidentally met, both of them were busy putting smiles on each other's faces. "Tonight is really special for me," Diego said, signaling the beautiful woman in front of him for a toast."Is it because it's beautiful tonight?" asked Caraline as she clinked Diego's glass.Both of them took a sip of their respective drinks with their eyes on each other."Of course, because I get to spend time alone with women ...." Diego paused his speech."Woman?" Caraline placed the glass back on the table. Her eyebrows knitted together."A strong woman like you," Diego replied.Caraline laughed softly as she adjusted her hair. "I can't even pull two suitcases at once."Diego shared the same laugh. His rows of white teeth were visible even though the man had covered his mouth with his right hand. "Of course, it's tough in other ways. I have a secret.""Sec

Caraline was shocked when she realized that the clothes on Deric's body were the ones he had been wearing since yesterday. The woman even blinked several times in disbelief at what had just happened. "What on earth did you have in mind? Are you human!""This house is so big that I had a hard time finding some clothes, especially with my poor condition," Deric said honestly, "Besides, the leaves in this area are not suitable for clothing."Caraline chuckled. This paralyzed man was being sarcastic. "Then why are you—""That's why I want to go back home to get some clothes and get my wallet and cell phone," Deric interrupted.Caraline laughed. "I'm pretty sure the numbers in your bank account would make my jaw drop. You’re a rich man.""You're being too complimentary. My work as a freelancer is certainly not as prestigious as that of a CEO," Deric retorted."Of course." Caraline was bemused."But at least with the money I earned, I was able to buy a few pieces of clothes and some delicio
