Simon's POV:
The song was about to end.
Under the dreamy light, Caroline looked like an angel.
My heart was racing as I held her in my arms.
I was stunned and speechless when I looked into her beautiful eyes. I immediately lowered my head unconsciously, trying to kiss her.
"The song is over." Caroline's cold voice came to my ears and she turned away immediately.
Feeling embarrassed, I helped her stand up and kissed the back of her palm.
"Pack this dress," I ordered the store assistant in a low voice.
"Sure, sir."
Feeling the bitterness in my heart, I could not help but sigh.
I did not know how long it was going to take Caroline to open up to me.
"Are you going back to the company or are you going home?" I asked.
Caroline frowned. "I want to go home."
Nodding in reply, I wrapped my arm around her waist. "Let's go."
Relief filled my heart when I saw that she was not trying to dodge me.
We kept silent through the ride, and thirty minutes later, we arrived at the villa.
I turned to look at Caroline and saw her sound asleep.
The soft afternoon sunlight was making her features appear more angelic.
She was really beautiful!
I unfastened my seat belt and approached her.
I saw her thick lashes flutter like a butterfly's wings.
Her lips were soft and alluring, tempting me to kiss her.
I approached her carefully, my whole body turning stiff from the nervousness.
Just when I was about to kiss her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Her cold voice pulled me back to reality.
After calming down, I grinned and said, "I wanted to wake you up, but when I saw you sleeping so soundly, I changed my mind."
Caroline rolled her eyes at me, opened the door, and was about to get off.
But I quickly grabbed her hand and said in a serious tone, "Caroline, I will be waiting for the day when you will accept me."
She looked at me with guilt in her eyes, which made me a little sad.
I handed her bag to her. "Go back and rest well."
A bitter smile appeared on my lips when I saw her rush into the villa.
I knew I had helplessly fallen for her.
Although I knew that she only told Charles we were together to piss him off, it still make my heart bloom with joy.
I told myself that it was only a matter of time before my wishes turned into a reality.
When I got home later, I got a call from my mother.
"Simon, how are you doing there?" There was an unmistakable hint of concern in her voice.
"I'm fine, Mom. What about you?" I asked casually.
"I'm fine too. With Edward's help, I don't need to worry about anything. But you..."
Although my mom was still talking to me, I felt like I could not hear her at all. I couldn't concentrate.
"Mom, take care of yourself. I'm busy now, so I'll have to go." I quickly ended the call and massaged my aching forehead.
