Indeed, it was the new little member shining amidst the entire Stone-Marshall family. Everyone was looking in amazement as her cry suddenly turned into an adorable smile at her grandpa who was making silly faces at her. The sight of this family brought a familiar ache upon my chest. I had a half mind to return back, not wanting to intrude on a family moment. But clearly reading my thoughts, the devil tightened his grip in my hand, effectively blocking my escape. Damn him, the mind-reading witchy devil!"Ah, the granddaughter arrives and your son is long forgotten. So this is how it is supposed to go from now on, isn't it?" I didn't have the time to pull the idiot's ears for announcing his- our- presence as every member of the family turned their heads our way. I assumed with mortification that my face must now resemble a 12 years old girl with her face dunked in tomato ketchup. I couldn't even stop the blush when Jade's little girl looked at me curiously. I huffed inwardly. The CEO of

From the moment I made the decision to meet his parents, I'd let myself imagine what Adrian's room would look like. There were a few things that had come to my mind and I was curious to find out if my mental picture of his room matched with the reality.His room wasn't what I imagined it to be like. Granted, it did look like a typical teenage boy's room with soccer trophies and The Beatles' posters. But at the same time, it looked more than just that. The first thing I noticed upon entering were the walls, which were blue in color, the kind of blue that immediately reminded me of Adrian's eyes.The walls were covered with countless photo frames and some paintings. I could feel Adrian watching me carefully as I walked inside to take a closer look at the walls. It was as if he expected me to faint then and there. I didn't realize what the whole fuss was about until I finally had a look at the photos.The entire wall was covered with photos of his childhood, or, to be precise, our childh

It was then that my heart started beating furiously once again but for a different reason this time. I couldn't explain it but these paintings made me feel something. I felt like I'd seen them all before- not just the painting but the moments captured in them as well. I felt a faint throbbing beginning to form in my head and looked back to Adrian who was watching me silently with the same look as before- as if waiting for me to faint in front of him.He must've caught on that something was distressing me, because he frowned a little, coming to stand close by me. I tried to alleviate his worries by giving him a teasing smile. "My, my, Stone! I'd thought your head had gotten bigger later after you became the CEO. But this clearly shows that you have been full of yourself from long before."Instead of replying with a witty and an equally smug reply, Adrian kept on looking at me with an undecipherable emotions in his eyes. "Strange as it may sound, I didn't keep them because they have my

My eyes widened in horror as his words registered in my mind. "Wait. Did you just say that your parents know what happened?" I groaned again, putting a hand on my head which had started throbbing faintly again. I glared daggers at the devil in front of me. "Adrian Stone, did you tell your parents that I fainted?"The moron grimaced a little before nodding. I groaned loudly before plopping down on his bed once again. Talk about embarrassing family meetings. And here I was, thinking Allie's parents would be the first and last parents I'd be embarrassed to recall meeting for the first time."Come on! It's not such a bad thing! I swear they won't think any less of you! In fact, they're just as worried about you as I was. You just need to calm down, love. Here, let me help you with those." Adrian bent down and slowly helped me put on my shoes despite my protests. I suppressed my sigh. The moron could be so sweet at times it was unhealthy for me. Who would be responsible if I get a diabetes

Recall (Chap):The elevator stopped at my floor and we stepped out, only to be welcomed by a delicious smell of freshly baked cake and cookies. I shared a confused frown with Adrian as I punched in my passcode. The door to our living room opened to reveal soft lights glowing all around and a stronger aroma waiting to attack my senses again.Stepping inside, I could hear a soft voice humming a song and soon enough, footsteps came closer, revealing my sister in a colorfully stained apron holding a big tray of chocolate chip cookies in her hand. She stopped as she saw us."Oh, you're home!" She exclaimed. Then her gaze fell to the human beside me and her smile widened. "Oh, Ruby! You're here as well!"I watched warily as she carefully put the tray on the coffee table and walked towards us- or rather, towards Adrian- and hugged him. Ignoring the smirk sent my way by the devil, I let my eyes wander around the living room noting the clean state and little decorations.It was then that I put
