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

William went to meet his son Bart. It took him an entire day to find Bart because Bart had been running away from one place to another so that his father wouldn’t see him while his nose was broken.Eventually, Bart got tired of running and decided to meet his dad. When William saw Bart’s condition, he went speechless for a second.“W-Who hit you like this?” He tried to touch the bandaged nose but Bart didn’t let him.“Nobody,” Bart blurted, albeit in a low voice. “I fell from the stairs, and this happened.”“Fell from stairs and got an injury like this? Do you think I’m your child?” William slapped his shoulder. “I’m your father, you fool! Tell me who hit you.”“Nobody hit me,” Bart didn’t change his story. “Forget about me. Why are you looking for me?”“I’ve been trying to call you, but your phone is switched off,” William said, “so I had to come looking for you. The thing is… Mia got married.”“WHAT?” Bart was stunned. He grabbed William’s shirt and lifted him up. “You better not be

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

Woman of his dreams?Mia couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes when she uttered these words that touched not just her ears but also her heart.She grew up in a family where everybody wanted to use her. Even if they helped her, they had some kind of a hidden agenda behind that. So, Mia was very much used to spotting the desires and necessities of others. When Bart told her he wanted her, she saw lust but not love; however, when she looked in Gabe’s not-so-beautiful eyes, she found something difficult to comprehend. There was some kind of fire and light in his eyes, and she could feel its warmth when she was next to him.“S-Shall we… go?” she asked, fumbling for words like a kid just learning to speak.“Sure,” Gabe’s hand reached out for her hand. “If you don’t mind…”She lowered her head, but then her hand grabbed his hand, with love knocking on the doors of Mia’s heart as they walked every step together.Whenever the breeze brought his scent over to her, her poor-little heart began t

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

“WHAT? The necklace was stolen?” Mia almost fainted. Gabe had to hold her from falling. Luckily, she didn’t lose consciousness.While it was a necklace weighing around 100 grams and would sell for at least half a million dollars in the current market, the reason for Mia’s shock was the emotional bond it had with her. Last time, Mia’s mother put the necklace on the day before her death, and she also made Mia wear that necklace back then. It was one of the strongest memories she had.Mia’s heart lost strength after knowing that it was stolen. She didn’t even think about scolding Carrie right now. That thought didn’t cross her mind.“Leave it to me, Mia,” Gabe held her arms firmly and said with assurance. “I will find the necklace no matter what and return it to you.” As he said those words, she looked into his eyes and really believed what he said.Gabe rushed away without even asking for any details from Carrie.Carrie hiddenly smiled.
