As they were almost arriving at the hospital in Dylan’s car, Lola casually said before getting out of the passenger seat.
“Um… Dear.”
Dylan looked back at her as he parked the car.
“Is there something special you want or desire? I feel sorry for only receiving from you.”
“Well, I don’t know. But if I want something, will you do anything for me?”
It was true that she had brought up what she wanted first. But when Dylan asked back, Lola felt a dangerous sense of falling into an invisible trap and couldn’t immediately respond.
Her expression revealed everything. Seeing her flustered, Dylan’s lips twitched.
“Oh! It seems like you’re already regretting what you said.”
“Oh, no. If you have something you want, please tell me. I’ll do anything for you.”
Once the words were out, she couldn’t take them back. Now, she couldn’t backtrack, so Lola awkwardly said.
“Well, if that’s the case, I’ll think about it seriously.”
“Yes. Then drive safely, Dear.”
After saying goodbye to Dylan and turning to open the passenger door, she accidentally bumped her forehead against the window due to her carelessness.
It was all because of this man, who could threaten her with a kiss at any moment, that she had been so tense today.
Ah, how embarrassing!
“Does it hurt? Be careful.”
“I’m, I’m fine.”
Holding a paper shopping bag, Lola rubbed her sore forehead and hurriedly got out of the passenger seat.
Watching Lola gradually move away in the rearview mirror, Dylan finally burst into laughter, which he had been holding back.
The more he looked at her, the more expressive and amusing she seemed, making her quite adorable.

Early in the morning.
Mariana called Gia.
As soon as Gia saw the caller ID pop up on her phone, a smile spread across her face as she walked down the hospital corridor.
“Mom.”
Her gentle voice also felt affectionate.
– Has our daughter been well? Are you feeling okay?
“Of course. I’m doing very well. How about you, mom? Dad is doing well too, right?”
Her mother’s voice was always warm and kind, making Gia’s heart feel warm.
– Gia, I called because I wanted to ask you something.
Mariana, sounding a bit anxious, got straight to the point.
“Is something wrong, mom?”
– Does Dylan have a girlfriend? I heard he’s dating someone. Is that true?
“Did Big Brother say that?”
– As you know, your brother isn’t young anymore. There was a good matchmaking opportunity, so I told him to go for it. But he says he has a girlfriend. He said he would bring her to meet us soon. I was wondering if you knew anything about it.
Trying to gauge her mother’s intentions, Gia casually asked.
“Mom, are you the type to care about a potential daughter-in-law’s family background and education?”
On the other end of the line, Mariana sighed.
– Honestly, what does that matter? As long as it’s a woman Dylan likes and makes him happy, that’s all that matters.
“Really? Mom.”
– I don’t ask for anything else. I just want a kind woman who makes Dylan happy.
“Our mom is the best! Mom, you know how much I love you, right?”
Mariana’s laughter echoed in Gia’s ear.
– And I know how much our daughter loves me.
“Of course. Mom, the woman Big Brother is dating, is really kind and a good person. If you see her face, you’ll definitely like her.”
– Oh my, you! You seem to know something. I’m dying to know what kind of woman she is.
Gia burst into a giggle.
“She’s kind, pretty, cute, and lovely. They even matched rings and went on a trip together. Honestly, Big Brother hasn’t shown any interest in women until now.”
– Oh my! Is that true?
Feeling good, Mariana was so excited that she didn’t know what to do.
“Mom, I know you’re curious about the woman who will be your daughter-in-law, but please be patient just a little longer.”
– Okay, I understand. But Gia, it’s been a while since you brought the kids to visit your parents, right? Your dad is feeling a bit lonely.
“I’m sorry, mom! I’ll bring the kids when I have a day off from the hospital.”
– Okay. Take care of your busy work.
After finishing the call with Mariana, Gia’s face clearly showed her disappointment.
The most beautiful, lovely, and noble person in the world.
The one who gave birth to her with love and raised her with affection.
A grateful person.
A gracious person.
A kind and good person.
To Gia, Eve Mariana was that person.
And she knew that meeting such a mother was the greatest fortune and happiness of her life.
