“Living together.”
Ah. He was talking about setting up a household yesterday.
I think he mentioned that the location is also close to the hospital.
It seems he said something more after that, but I got so caught up in his ‘special service’ that I ended up falling asleep.
Yeah. I clearly remembered yesterday.
I could still vividly recall what he said.
“Oh, I didn’t forget that. I remember it clearly. Let’s sleep together and wake up together. You said that, didn’t you, dear?”
So I spoke with a slightly excited voice.
“Really? Then that’s a relief. I was worried that you might not remember yesterday.”
Seeing Dylan raise one corner of his lip in relief, Lola felt a sudden realization.
‘This makes it look like I want to live together.’
At that moment, Dylan let go of her chin and suddenly asked.
“When are you coming in?”
“……?”
“I hope you come in as soon as possible. The interior is done, and everything is there, so it wouldn’t be a problem if you moved in right away. We just need to call a helper to clean up.”
Was that what he meant?
At first, Lola didn’t immediately understand the meaning of “When are you coming in?” It was only after hearing Dylan’s explanation that she finally grasped it.
Really, this man doesn’t leave any room for doubt.
It’s like a flash of lightning, quick and decisive.
But wait!
‘Am I really going to live with Dylan Eve?’
Cohabitation before marriage. She had only heard about it until now, and she didn’t expect to experience it herself, so Lola felt a bit uneasy. Moreover, the partner was the prickly Dylan Eve, known as the ‘grim reaper.’
It wasn’t that she disliked it, but suddenly her heart raced, and heat rushed to her face.
“It’s a pretty big apartment with six rooms, so it’s quite spacious for just the two of us, but I still prefer larger spaces. You’ll come to like it too as you live there.”
Six rooms. The heat on her face hadn’t cooled down yet, and this time Lola almost dropped her jaw.
Sometimes Gia joked that her brother had a lot of money, and it seemed that wasn’t just a lie.
“Let’s say you’ll move in by the end of this week at the latest. I don’t think there’s any need to delay any longer.”
When Lola didn’t immediately accept, Dylan frowned.
“You said you feel secure and at ease when you’re with me, right? Then wouldn’t it be better for your mental health to move in with me as soon as possible? And honestly, living in a spacious house is more comfortable than an inconvenient hospital accommodation.”
His arguments were indeed valid.
Still, dear, you need to give me some time to think, right?
How is it that everything is so easy and straightforward for this man?
“I really enjoy being with you, but don’t you?” His low whisper tickled her ear.
Soon, his face was so close that their breaths almost touched.
Sometimes, she felt like pushing him away, but when he looked at her with such deep and soulful eyes and whispered sweet words, Lola found herself unable to move.
On top of that, his charming smile, which he reserved just for her, stole her breath away, making it impossible to pretend to push him away.
“Okay, I’ll move in by the end of this week, just like you said.”
In front of this man, she always felt helpless.
But what could she do?
She had grown to like him that much.
“Thank you.”
Even for something trivial, her heart swelled and fluttered.
It was truly uncontrollable.
“I’ll make sure to give you that kind of service often in the future.”
Dylan reached out, gently stroking her hair before pulling her into his embrace.
Thump thump.
The sound of a heartbeat, whose it was unknown, echoed loudly.
It could be his, or it could be hers.
Lola loved the resonance of that sound, so she buried her face in his broad, firm chest and quietly listened.
After a while.
Lola suddenly seemed to have something to say, lifting her head and hesitantly opening her mouth.
“Dear.”
“What? Do you have something to say?”
“Actually, my mom came to see me a few days ago.”
Lately, she had been so preoccupied that she almost forgot about it again.
Since she had already revealed who her boyfriend was to her mom, it seemed she could no longer postpone taking him to meet her parents.
She didn’t want her mom to come back for such matters.
“Your mom? Why?”
“She was curious about you, Dylan.”
“Ah….”
Lola didn’t go into detail, but Dylan quickly understood.
“I’m sorry. I should have thought of that. I should have taken you to meet your parents much earlier.”
