System Within: Million Dollars From Today CHAPTER 94
Irene gave golden bracelets to both the bride and the groom. Mia hugged and thanked Irene, but Gabe asked her, “This looks like real gold. Did you marry a millionaire or something? Otherwise, you’re not the type to give even a penny to others.”“If you don’t want it, then give it back,” Irene tried to take his bracelet back.“No, I want it,” Gabe didn’t let her take it back. He knew the value of money, so he happily took this gift. It might not be a big deal to him right now, but it might come to use later on. Who knows?“By the way, Irene, do you have kids?” Gabe asked.“Why?” Irene icily asked.“Nothing. You gave us gifts, so I want to give some gifts to your kids as well.”“They already have too many dolls to play with, so no thanks,” Irene said and then took Mia to the side. “I know I shouldn’t be saying this after marriage, but are you sure of this? You’re rich, and he’s poor. You’re beautiful, and he’s got cross-eyes. It’s a fake marriage, but still what will others think?”“Let

Mia’s car stopped outside her house.“I’ll see you later,” Nicole told Mia before exiting the car and going to her home.Gabe was sitting next to Mia in the car.A minute passed.“Why aren’t you stepping out?” Gabe asked. “Are you feeling tense?”“Yeah. Kind of,” her hand slightly shivered. “I wonder how my aunt would react.”“It’s okay.” Gabe was about to put his hand on her hand, but stopped midway. She noticed that but didn’t say anything. “I’ll speak for you.”“Don’t do that. It’ll only make them even angrier,” Mia said.“Then, you want me to be silent?”“As much as possible. I’ll deal with them when I’m around, but when I’m out, you can deal with them however you want,” Mia said, sounding almost certain. “Just as long as you don’t physically beat them.”“What if they attack me first?”“Run away from the house and wait for me. You can do that, right?” She peered at him through her glasses, awaiting his response.“What if they come to my house and misbehave with my aunt and attack

Mia and Gabe were entering the house, but Mia stopped him and told him to put his right foot first. He asked her why, and she told him that she read in some book that it would bring good luck.Gabe wanted just that. Loads of good luck. Otherwise, how would he be able to make Mia look at no man other than him and him only?Holding his hand, Mia entered the house, not at all realizing that Gabe’s heart was running fast because no woman had ever held his hand like this, not even Kiera who had dated him in the past.Carrie and her son were sitting right on the sofa. She was watching her son play a mobile game and beat his friends and strangers online. And she was proud of him for winning most of the time. “You’ve really got the skill to play these games, Draco, but you played enough for today. Give me the mobile now,” she snatched the mobile from him before he could say anything.“Mom, that’s my friend’s mobile. Be careful with it,” Draco said while standing on his toes.“Why did your fri

After three minutes, Carrie brought food items and arranged everything on the table before standing on the side.“Who’s going to serve?” Mia asked. “Your grandfather?”Carrie frowned and began to put one food item after another. There were five different items.“Every day, you get to eat different varieties,” Mia said, “but who’s money is it?”Carrie didn’t answer.“It’s my parents’ money,” Mia added. “If we eat like this, more than what we need every day, then even a million dollar mountain will reduce to nothing in a few years. That’s why, I want either you or your husband to do a job and support this family. Whoever does the job outside doesn’t have to work here, but whoever doesn’t do a job outside will have to work within the house, whether it’s cooking dishes or cleaning the toilets. Tell this to others.”Carrie’s eyes widened. “You mean you want to tell my dad to work also?”“He’s only in his fifties, isn’t he?” Mia asked. “And he wants to retire already? He hasn’t been doing a

The next morning.Bertha woke up at around 6 o’clock, which was a bit later than the usual time she got up because she had kept scrolling the website, looking to buy jewelry last night, and hadn’t bought anything in the end.To her surprise, Carrie was still sleeping next to her.“This girl, it’s already six, and she’s snoring like a pig,” Bertha snapped and elbowed her waist. “Wake up, you fool! Who’s going to cook breakfast for Draco if you’re dreaming with your mouth open!”“AHH! Mom!” Carrie angrily got up and bit on her mother’s ear, making Bertha cry out loud. Luckily, Carrie soon let go of her mother’s ear and then jumped off the bed. “You never woke Mia up this roughly. You always wake her up gently,but you treat me like I’m made out of wood!” she growled and then left the room in quick but heavy steps.“How can you and Mia be the same?” Bertha muttered under her breath. “You’re my flesh and blood, so I care more for you, idiot. Otherwise, I would have long called the police a

Mia woke up at around seven o’clock. Her eyes felt puffy, and she couldn’t see her surroundings just yet. She began to stretch her body and yawn, which would help realign the muscles and the fluid in her back.However, her eyesight soon turned normal, and she found herself being stared at by Gabe who was sitting in the sofa, with one leg over the other, smiling at him very subtly with the lips, but there was a glow in his eyes. Heck, it was so romantic she ended up pursing her lips and blowing air into her mouth to stop herself from smiling and blushing.“Good morning,” Gabe said.“Good morning,” she put her glasses on and looked at Gabe again. He looked even more striking and handsome even though he was wearing simple clothes. He looked like a million dollars now. Surely, Gabe didn’t grow in handsomeness overnight, but why did he appear more attractive now? What changed in her that made him more appealing? Was it because she found him uttering her name in his sleep that made her deve

Gabe’s heart rate increased from seeing Mia in an appearance he had never seen before. He got up from his seat before he knew it.Carrie also walked out of the kitchen to tell Gabe to not bother her son, but after seeing Mia, she was slack-jawed. “That’s the Reyes’ family heirloom, isn’t it?” she muttered under breath. She always wanted to wear those jewelry, but she never got the chance. “When they were appraised almost two decades back, they were worth upwards of a million dollars. Now I can’t even imagine what their price could be.”Mia came down and showed herself to Gabe like a wife seeking her husband’s attention. “How do I look?”“Like the brightest star in the world,” Gabe said. “Can I kiss you?”Mia was surprised by his request. “Sure,” she put her hand forward.Gabe was hoping to kiss her on the cheek, but a hand was better than nothing, he thought. Liking her smart reaction, Gabe gently held her hand and kissed her. “Grace this chair, your highness.”Mia chuckled a little b

“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
