However, when he returned after years of studying abroad, he heard the news that Miss Lawrence had married into a wealthy family. The girl he had been thinking about for four years was now wearing a pure white wedding dress and running towards another man.
In that moment, all his persistence and beliefs collapsed...
He never expected Cheyenne to enter the hall of marriage at just eighteen years old. He was one step too late.
Fortunately, he hadn't given up yet, and she had also divorced.
There was still time for everything.
Coming back to reality from his memories, Omari looked back at Cheyenne.
When she ate food, her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster eating its food. Her cherry blossom lips opened and closed as she focused on the shumai in her hand.
Her profile was adorable with a strand of chestnut hair falling onto her chest and sticking to her fair skin without her noticing.
"Slow down; no one's taking it away from you," Omari said tenderly as he suddenly reached out with his big hand to tuck the strand behind Cheyenne's ear.
As a result, her cute little ears were exposed under the sunlight shining through colorful glass windows outside. The light turned into beautiful shades of blue while illuminating strands of fine white hair inside them along with tiny blood vessels visible through transparent earlobes like they were congested or something else entirely.
He inexplicably wanted to take a bite out of them just to see if they tasted sweet like she did?
Even if Cheyenne wasn't particularly sharp-witted herself but noticed his unusual "ferocious" gaze.
"Omari? Do you... do you think I ate your breakfast without paying so you're looking at me like this?" She subconsciously leaned backward.
"Am I really such an ungenerous person?" Omari asked resentfully while still holding his hand in mid-air,
Cheyenne even nodded slightly before picking up some xiaolongbao from their table then stuffing it into Omari's palm,"I'll pay later; eat this too since I'm treating."
Omari suddenly felt so angry that it hurt.
"What an idiot."
Their interaction didn't escape Iker's notice; Omari's gaze towards Cheyenne earlier wasn't what friends should have between each other but rather how men look at women filled with tenderness and possessiveness...
It amused him how Omari who handled himself gracefully in court could be so domineering sometimes.
However, Omari was clearly wasting his time because Cheyenne had no interest in him whatsoever.
Just after breakfast, Cheyenne yawned and said she was tired and needed to go back to bed for a nap.
Iker couldn't help but roll his eyes at her lazy behavior. All the girls he knew were hardworking and striving to survive, except for this woman who was undoubtedly a slacker and didn't even bother to turn over.
Omari's voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Cheyenne, I want to move into your mansion too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman almost slipped on the ground. She lazily turned around with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Didn't he have his own mansion?
