“I’m sorry,” Harmony apologized instinctively for the displeasing incident with Reuben just now.


    Putting his water down, Ezekiel approached her and ced both hands on her shoulders while


    comforting her with his deep voice, “Harmony, you didn’t do anything wrong, so you don’t need to


    apologize to anyone. Just be yourself and ignore what others say.”


    Those words offort were just what Harmony needed at this moment. Tears suddenly filled her eyes


    as she threw herself into Ezekiel’s arms. Right now, she just wanted to cry out loud. She was grateful to


    have met him and regretted not seeing Reuben’s true nature back then. He was a bad person.


    Ezekiel was like aforting me. He gently patted her and gave her warmth and strength.


    After crying for a while, she understood that she had done nothing wrong and she didn’t need to care


    about Reuben’s hurtful words. She just had to be herself. However, her fear was that Ezekiel might


    have believed in Reuben’s lies and that she would lose him.


    “Please don’t believe what Reuben said just now. We haven’t crossed that line since the day we got


    together. I-” Harmony found it difficult to continue because it was difficult for her to bring up such


    matters with the man she liked.


    Meanwhile, Ezekiel also knew she was not good at exining such things, so he cupped her face


    gently and wiped away her tears with his thumb. “I trust you’


    He had already learned about all this since he identally answered Reuben’s call the other day.


    Ezekiel was brought up in an open-minded family, so when choosing a woman to be with, he wouldn’t


    care about her past. Instead, he would imagine what their future would be like.


    Upon hearing that he trusted her, Harmony was so ted that she started shedding tears again. She


    tightly pressed her lips together, feeling grateful like never before because no one had ever shown her


    such unconditional trust.


    “Stop crying, or your eyes will swell.” Ezekiel grabbed some tissues from the table and gently wiped


    away her tears. Her eyes looked beautiful whenever she smiled. He wanted to see her happy, not sad.


    She pursed her lips and smiled. However, the smile in her teary eyes made her look quite pitiful.


    Suddenly feeling his heart fluttering, Ezekiel couldn’t hold back from leaning down to kiss her red, soft


    lips.


    That instantly stunned Harmony. Theirst kiss was at the hotel, where she had summoned all her


    courage to kiss him. Unexpectedly, he initiated the kiss this time, rendering her shy and at a loss for


    how to react.


    After kissing her, Ezekiel tenderly gazed at her. “Can I stay the night?”

    They said men craved a woman, but who said that women didn’t crave men? At least, Harmony did.


    “If I say yes, would you think I’m unreserved for allowing a man to stay the night?” She raised her head


    and asked him in a foolish but adorable way.


    Ezekiel chuckled. “No, because I’m the man who is going to stay here tonight.”


    Laughing, Harmony threw herself into his arms. Right then, the negative emotions Reuben brought up


    in her had disappeared entirely. That was because the man before her had a healing presence. It was


    like he could soothe her sufferings and teach her to be someone with a stable temper.


    At that moment, Ezekiel’s phone rang. He picked it up and walked toward the balcony. “Hello, Miles.”


    “My dear Mr. Weiss, where are you now? Why was your car impounded by the traffic police? Are you


    okay? How am I going to exin things to your parents if something happens to you?” Miles’ anxious


    voice came through the phone.


    “I’m fine. I’m not going back to the hotel tonight.”


    “Wow. Where will you be staying tonight?” Miles asked from the other end.


    It was fortunate that Ezekiel was in a good mood. On usual days, Miles would be reprimanded if he


    dared to inquire about Ezekiel’s private life, but today, Ezekiel responded, “Anyway, don’t disturb me


    tonight, no matter what it is.”


    “Even if thepany goes bankrupt?”


    “Then, let it be,” Ezekiel answered and hung up the phone.


    On the other end of the phone, Miles understood that he was not to disturb Ezekiel, even if the world


    was about to explode.
