Didn’t someone say he looked incredibly handsome and charming when he smiled?
As he recalled what Lola had just said and stared at the photo, he heard the bathroom door open, and his head turned reflexively. The t-shirt that came down to her knees suited her well. Seeing Lola in his shirt made Dylan feel strange, and he murmured softly.
“Looks good!”
Dylan sat on the edge of the bed, carefully observing Lola as she walked toward him. Whether it was because she was wearing his clothes or not, the closer she got, the more her heart raced.
“You look like a newlywed, Lola.”
Her face flushed red at his teasing tone.
In such a short time, she had already been teased by him several times.
As Lola approached the bed, Dylan lay down on his side, making room for her. Lola climbed onto the bed and lay down.
This was already the third time she was spending the night in the same bed with him. Her heart always responded faithfully.
Thump, thump, thump.
Does this man know?
Since she started dating him, her feelings have been like a rollercoaster, rising and falling dozens of times a day.
Her heart would flutter, then sink, feel good, then tense up, and then swell with emotion, only to feel happy again.
He probably doesn’t know.
“You look like you have something on your mind. Why, again?”
As Dylan turned to face her, frowning, Lola flinched.
This man has a sixth sense.
He always seems to see right through her.
“Dear.”
“Yeah?”
“I thought you had a hidden woman too.”
She couldn’t bring herself to say that her heart had dropped to the floor after hearing Zach’s words.
However, even if Lola tried not to show her anxiety, Dylan had already noticed.
“Didn’t you hear what my father said earlier?”
With a gentle touch, he caressed her face, and his warm breath spilled from his lips.
“He talks so much.”
“It’s you! The hidden woman is Lola Dax, you!”
“…….”
She hadn’t thrown out that line to confirm who the hidden woman was. But when he stated it so definitively, Lola suddenly couldn’t think of what to say next.
“You’re the first woman to wear my clothes and sleep in my bed.”
“…….”
“Now that I think about it, it seems like we’ve shared so many firsts together.”
With that, Dylan pulled her into a tight embrace.
Thump, thump!
The sound of a heartbeat echoed loudly. It was impossible to tell whose heartbeat it was.
Lola was so happy and overwhelmed by his sweet, whisper-like words that she couldn’t remember how to respond.
Dylan Eve felt like a fatal poison that she couldn’t refuse.
The addiction was too strong.
She didn’t know if it was because she was completely smitten, but being with him made her feel fearless and secure.
It really felt like they could be happy like this forever.
However, the world wasn’t as easy as she thought.
******
After finishing the morning meeting and returning to the psychiatric department, Lola received a call from an unknown number. Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, she hesitated for a long time before finally pressing the call button.
“Hello.”
As she cautiously opened her mouth while walking down the hallway, a familiar voice came through the receiver.
– Is this Lola Dax?
“Yes, this is Lola Dax. May I ask who this is?”
Who is this woman with the familiar voice?
As Lola tilted her head and tried to recall, the person on the other end revealed her identity in a clear voice.
– It’s me, Aliza.
At the mention of a name that made her uncomfortable just by hearing it, Lola’s face instantly twisted.
It was like a panic disorder that suddenly visited without warning; for Lola, Aliza was that kind of entity.
Instinctively on edge, Lola took a deep breath and asked, trying to sound calm, “Is there something you need from me, Aliza?”
– Let’s meet for dinner later and talk. I won’t take up too much of your time.
This woman, who didn’t even ask if I was free for dinner, seemed truly unreasonable.
Although Lola felt quite displeased with Aliza’s arrogant attitude, for some reason, she didn’t want to avoid her.
She was also curious about what nonsense this woman wanted to discuss this time.
She wasn’t sure if she had the courage to stand up to Aliza’s provocation.
“Where shall we meet?”
– I’ll text you the address, so let’s meet there in the evening.
“Alright.”
After giving a brief reply and hanging up, Lola grimaced and let out a long sigh, releasing the breath she had been holding.
