After a night of intense passion, Harmony found herself almost exhausted in the man’s embrace. However, as dawn broke, she made up her mind to quietly get out of bed and leave.
Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her from behind. The man, who had just woken up, caught her.
“Where are you going? Were you satisfied last night?” The man behind her kissed her back.
Harmony blushed, finding it difficult to face him. However, deep down, she knew that last night was their final moment of madness. She had been a bit greedy. But now, she couldn’t afford to be greedy anymore.
“I, um, I’m leaving today,” Harmony said, glancing at the million-dollar evening gown on the floor, discarded like a rag. She could hardly bear to look at it.
Last night, it had become nothing more than a prop for the man. Ezekiel held her possessively, speaking with authority, “You’re not going anywhere. Cancel all your work. You’re staying with me.”
Harmony bit her lip, closed her eyes, and broke free from his grip. “Ezekiel, stop it. I told you, let’s break up!”
“Why are you breaking up? Where is this coming from?” Ezekiel turned her around to face him, looking puzzled. Harmony turned her face away. “No reason, just… we’re not compatible.”
“You know best whether we were compatible last night,” Ezekiel smirked, his tone full of innuendo.
Harmony blushed and glared at him, pushing him away and standing up. “Anyway, I’m unilaterally declaring a breakup. I don’t care if you agree or not; I’m breaking up.” After saying that, she added firmly, “I definitely want to break up.”
Ezekiel became serious now. Looks like she’s not taking no for an answer. But why won’t she tell me the reason?
“Fine. Give me a reason for breaking up then. If I can accept it, we’ll break up,” Ezekiel challenged her.
Harmony certainly had no excuses. She couldn’t possibly say that it was because his mother disapproved of her, could she? No, it was definitely not something she should say.
“There’s no reason. I just want to break up,” Harmony replied, sounding somewhat childish, willful, and unreasonable.
Miles went to knock on the door while Harmony and Sera went to a cafe to chat. Ezekiel answered the door, and Miles quickly handed him the phone. “Mr. Weiss, you left in such a hurry last night that you left your phone in the car. I checked; you have several missed calls.”
He took the phone and saw that his mother had called several times last night. He couldn’t help but wonder if something had happened to his grandmother.
Without wasting any time, Ezekiel called back.
“Ezekiel, you finally answered the phone. Where did you go last night?”
“Mom, is something wrong with Grandma? I accidentally left my phone in the car last night.”
“Grandma is okay. I just wanted to ask, are you currently with Miss Mayo?”
Ezekiel didn’t hold back and admitted, “Yes, I went to see her last night.”
