He paused for a while and put his arm down suddenly.
Gazing at her, he said earnestly, “At least I’m someone
important to you. That’s enough for me to outweigh all other suitors of yours.”
He still sounded very confident in himself.
All her suitors were basically unappealing to her.
No matter in which aspect, none of them could compete
with him.
The only man he found to be a threat was Weston.
He lit a cigarette. “Indeed, he’s the one who wields all the
power in Ahn City…”
As soon as he took a puff, he saw Stella frowning.
He hastily put it off. “I am sorry. I was a little
overwhelmed by drinking too much.”
Without saying anything, she wound down the car
window to let the air in.
She did not like the smell of cigarettes and did not want Elias and Emma to be exposed.
“You are still young. Now is the time for you to sharpen your skills. Smoke and drink less. These habits
are
unhealthy,”
Times had changed. Drinking and smoking might have been required to get business deals in the past,
but it all depended on one’s capability now.
Although socializing was still important, it was more
about a person’s potential.
Miguel hummed in response.
He loved the moments when Stella cared for him. His
actions were actually deliberate. He liked to see her nag at him.
As he thought about it, he suddenly reached out his hand
and tried to touch her hair again.
Stella was shocked and dodged him immediately,
averting her eyes.
“We are almost there. Why don’t you close your eyes and
sleep for a while? You’ve drunk a lot.”
Miguel dejectedly withdrew his hand and closed his eyes.
“Okay. Call me when we arrive.”
Stella carried Elias and Emma into their bedroom in the
apartment and tucked them in.
They woke up as soon as they got out of the car. Emma
was a bit fussy and kept crying.
Fortunately, Elias was docile and did not insist on Stella
reading him a bedtime story.
The twins slept peacefully.
Stella sat beside their bed, staring at their sleeping faces. “They look like angels only when they are asleep…”
Miguel came in through the door and stood behind her.
They are also cute when they are awake. They are even
cuter when they are sleeping, though, especially Emma.”
་་
He stood next to Emma’s bed. He intended to reach out
and poke her chubby cheek but was worried that he would wake her up and make her throw another
tantrum.
“Her eyes were red just now. Did she get bullied in the restaurant? I forgot to ask just now.”
He had sobered up quite a bit after having some soup and only noticed that something was amiss when
he thought back on her sudden request to come back to the
apartment.
They had already decided to have dinner in the
restaurant, but she changed her mind on the spur of the
moment. Did something happen?
She mouthed some words at him: Let’s talk outside.
They gingerly left the children’s room. She went to the kitchen and made him some noodles.
They each had a plate with a couple of eggs nestled on top
of the noodles.
Stella gently poked the egg yolk with a fork and let the
golden liquid flow out.
Miguel propped his chin and looked at her. Smiling, he said, “You always like these half–cooked eggs so
much.”
