“I’m probably not the first guy who praised your looks,” Gabe continued to speak with her, but he wasn’t staring into her eyes anymore. “But I don’t think it’s healthy for me to continue to live in your room while hiding all the feelings in my heart.” He looked at her face again. “I still remember the first time I saw you. You were eating tamarind candy outside the school. A vehicle horn startled you, and the candy slipped and fell on the ground. You hesitated to pick it up at first. You then looked around to see if anyone was watching. Probably nobody was looking except for me. You wiped the dirt off the candy and put it in your mouth again.”Mia’s brows frowned in embarrassment as she still remembered that incident. To think that was when Gabe first saw her… she felt even more embarrassed now.“You brought a smile on my face that time, Mia,” Gabe said, smiling through his eyes, “and I have always been watching you from a distance. You mostly minded your business. You were a silent t

The black Benz SUV stopped at a big shopping mall.Carrie and Bertha hurriedly got out of the vehicle, and they were sweating even though the air conditioner had been running inside the car. “I’ve never seen such reckless driving before,” Carrie’s heart was in her mouth.Freddy, however, wasn’t as afraid as those two women were.Mia’s heart was still racing faster than normal. She tried not to look like she was scared by how fast Gabe had driven. “It would have been nice if Draco was here.”“You can just buy him some things, and then surprise him when he comes back from school,” Gabe suggested.“You’re right,” she smiled and got out of the vehicle. She went to Carrie and told her to be extra careful because she wasn’t just carrying a half pound worth of gold on her body but also Mia’s family’s history.Carried locked her arm with her husband’s. “Freddy is with me, so who can touch me?”Mia looked coldly at Freddy. “If something happens and even one ornament is lost, then I’ll hold you

Mia was thinking about calling her aunt so they could also have the cake, but to her surprise, Gabe kept eating and eating until none remained. There was no hesitation in him when it came to eating, and she liked that.“If you want, I can make them pack the cake for taking home. You can give it to your family,” Gabe suggested.“They don’t pack food for home here, Gabe,” Mia said.“Leave that to me,” Gabe went to the vendor and talked with him. He even pointed at Mia, which puzzled her. The vendor smiled and then packed one kilo of the crumble cake. Gabe paid using the 50% coupon but gave the remaining 50% money and some more to the vendor and then returned to Mia with a little bit of a proud look.“You probably paid extra,but why did you point toward me when you were talking with him?” Mia asked, adjusting her glasses.“I told him my wife loved the cake and wanted more to surprise her family,” Gabe said. “The vendor was happy to make an exception.”“Um,” Mia fiddled with her earring f

After Freddy promised Gabe that he’d listen to him, Gabe asked him to take out the necklace, but Freddy was hesitating.“Do it before the girls find us,” Gabe hastened him.Freddy reluctantly took out the necklace. Seeing Mia and Carrie in the distance, he went past Gabe and gave the necklace to Mia. “I got it.”Mia was so relieved to see the necklace that she didn’t mind thanking him. Freddy happily smiled, whereas Carrie went speechless. She was not expecting Freddy of all people to bring the necklace back. This boiled her blood for many reasons. Did Freddy double-cross her? The thought itself was indigestible.Mia’s gaze eventually shifted to Gabe. She came over to him and said, “The thief wasn’t caught, but you tried. Thank you.”“Don’t mention it,” Gabe forced out a smile.Mia then went to Freddy and Carrie and scolded them for their carelessness, but then she also told them they could buy things up to 7000 dollars. And they were extremely happy for the 2000 dollar increase she b

“I’m so sorry!” Mia was quick to apologize. She couldn’t believe what she had just done. Spilling a drink on another person’s face… she had never done anything remotely close before, so she was in a shock. “I didn’t mean to…” She took out her handkerchief and gave it to him. “I’m really sorry.”“It’s okay,” Doon wiped his mouth with her kerchief. While doing that, he also noticed the rings that were on the hands of Mia and Gabe. What caught his eye was the copper ring on Gabe’s finger. He soon squinted his eyes, and his pupils faintly glowed.[Uh-oh…] Systa immediately sensed the frequency vibration that she detected in Doon’s mind. [Gabe, I have to tell you something right away.]“What is it?” Gabe asked mentally.[Doon is… a transhuman.]“What?” Gabe ended up speaking out loud. “Ahem, sorry.” He then quickly went back to speaking in his mind while keeping his gaze on Doon who looked normal to his eyes. “What do you mean he’s a transhuman?”[There’s no doubt. He’s the owner of the Te
