    Bary probably didn’t remember the incident from that evening. He was a busy man, and that little


    incident seemed insignificant in his life


    of sess.


    The photo was indeed beautiful and suited Bary’s style.


    If Moira told him thedy in the photo was her, she thought it would be even better.


    However, Moira decided not to reveal her thoughts to avoid embarrassment.


    If Bary simply found the photo appealing and used it as his screensaver, iming ownership too


    eagerly might seem overly calcting. It was better to let it go.


    Moira realized her impulsiveness and said, “Actually, upon closer inspection, this photo has a


    certain artistic quality, and it does look good as


    a screensaver.”


    She looked at the photo of herself and felt her face heat up. Trying to maintainposure, she


    continued, “I’m just casually asking, so please


    don’t mind.”


    “It’s okay,” Bary replied, not minding at all.


    Moira breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly changed the subject. “I still need to practice the piano for


    three hours today. I’ll go practice now.”


    “Okay,” Bary said, picking up his phone and examining the screensaver.


    Moira nced at him, and her heart skipped a beat.


    She got up to leave the table, intending to head upstairs to the piano room.


    However, just a few steps away, she heard Bary’s voice behind her, sounding somewhat


    puzzled. “Ms. Jimenez, does this photo seem


    familiar to you?”


    Moira tensed up. She turned around and faced him, saying, “No, I just casually asked.”


    “Is that so?” Bary smirked slightly. “I seem to find this photo more and more familiar.”


    Moira subconsciously tugged at her clothes. “It must be an optical illusion!”


    Bary raised his head and looked at her. “Doesn’t it resemble the scene from that rainy night


    when I came to pick you up, and you ran into


    my arms?”


    Moira fell silent, It was not resembling. It was exactly that scene!


    Moira didn’t dare to say this. She stood there, feeling regretful for her earlier slip of the tongue.


    Seeing her silence, Bary continued, “Wasn’t there someone taking our photo that night?”


    Moira did not reply. She thought why wasn’t there a pill for regret?


    Seeing her not speaking, Bary looked at her flushed ears. He then slowly wiped off his smile. “I


    won’t disturb you anymore. You can go ahead and practice the piano.”

    At this moment, Moira had no intention of practicing. She looked anxiously at the phone in Bary’s


    hand and decided toe clean. “Mr. Covington, the persons in that photo are indeed me and


    you.”


    Bary said, “Oh, no wonder I found the figure in the photo so attractive.”


    Listening to his praise, Moira stood there, unsure whether to feel happy or ufortable.


    She asked, “Should you change the screensaver then?”


    “Why?” Bary raised his gaze, staring directly at her.


    Moira felt a sudden unease under his gaze and looked away, avoiding his eyes. “Wouldn’t people


    misunderstand?”


    Bary asked again, “Misunderstand what? That our rtionship is impure?”


    Bary suddenly chuckled. “Ms. Jimenez, have you forgotten? In public, you are my Mrs.


    Covington. Using our photo as the screensaver will only make people think that we are a loving


    couple.”


    Hisughter was deep and rich, echoing in Moira’s ears and stirring up heat inside her.


    She stood there, feeling her heart beating rapidly. Hisughter was too enchanting.
