Alex cheerfully hands Miya her breakfast.
But Miya looks a little sullen.
“What is the matter? No appetite?” Alex looks at Miya with some concern.
“In fact, I was thinking that I am so happy to be with you.” Miya says and looks at Alex in a serious way. She always thinks Alex is so nice to her that he is going to spoil her.
Alex is feeling a little confused at this point and strokes Miya’s head with his hand, “Baby, what are you thinking about? Isn't it nice to be happy?”
“I think I still have a lot of shortcomings in design, and I want to study abroad.” After studying the performance of the design draft these days, Miya feels she still has a lot of room for improvement.
Alex panics when he hears the news.
What would happen if she leaves him later?
When Alex thinks about never seeing Miya again, his is about to break down and he says in a huff, “Don’t ever talk about this again.”
Miya doesn’t expect to get Alex so upset when she just says it carelessly. So it will be better to put this on hold for a while.
“I just said it without thinking.” Miya also feels she told Alex about it too soon.
Seeing Miya’s overwhelmed look, Alex realizes that he has just spoken in an attitude that seems a little over the top.
“Miya, I am sorry. I spoke a little too strongly. I just do not want you to leave.” Alex is holding Miya's hands tight right now. He says to her with guilt, “You are not mad at me, are you?”
Miya shakes her head.
She really couldn't do anything with him anymore. He was just mean to her, and now he becomes so gentle.
“Then eat your breakfast.” Alex’s mood gets better.
Miya could only eat her breakfast absentmindedly while thinking about things.
Just after breakfast, Miya finds her cell phone is dead. Just after taking the phone to charge, she finds dozens of missed calls inside. The caller ID is all from Carmen.
Miya suddenly panics.
Did something happen at home?
Miya doesn't care if her phone is charging or not, she just dials back.
“Hey, I...” Miya just says the two words and is immediately interrupted.
“Don't you know you're not allowed to stay out all night? Do you forget that you're a married woman?” Carmen's loud voice comes from the other end of the phone.
After hearing what Carmen said, Miya's heart is heavy. It sounds like she's cheating on someone.
“I actually stayed at the office last night to work overtime.” Miya is telling the truth, but somehow it feels guilty.
Grandma seems to be in charge really too much.
“Do you ignore children for work?” Carmen is up in arms again.
“Well...I’ve been really busy with work and you're looking after them now ah. There are some things I need to take care of, and we'll talk about it at home.” Miya finishes those words in one breath and immediately hangs up the phone.
You can not let Carmen go on.
...
At night, clothes on the design is made.
Miya is still working on the details of clothes.
